Surf Side Hotel is an amazing place to stay on the Outer Banks. Our room was clean and had a great ocean view. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The morning breakfast was really good and fresh. The wine and cheese social at 4:00 and the cookies at 8:00pm are a nice touch. We would definitely stay here again.

Booked a room facing the main parking lot but still had a great partial view of the ocean from our balcony! It was relaxing to sit outside on the chairs and look at the ocean, especially to view the sunset. The room was clean, and spacious, with comfortable beds and quiet. It was nice to have a table and chairs to eat inside or play games at night. The breakfast had different items each day, including a hot section where the staff served you, plenty to choose from. Everything was delicious, especially loved the biscuits and quiches. The evening reception and cookies were a nice touch. The outdoor pool was clean and fairly empty whenever we passed by. It was a close walk to the beach and we were able to check out free chairs for the day. Loved the private and beautiful beach. It was never crowded and the water was fairly calm to swim in (wasn't too cold for the first week of June). We were in Kill Devil Hills for a bit, and this beach in Nags Head was better with calmer waters. There was a new sundeck on the second floor that provided a relaxing spot to view the town and enjoy the sunset as well. Overall, this was a great hotel to stay at that felt safe with retirees and young families.

The hotel was very clean and very accessible to the beach. Very close to shopping and food. The Dunes Resteraunt was a quarter mile walk and had excellent breakfast. The complimentary chocolate chip cookies at 8pm were great. Also, complimentary wine at 5 pm for the wine enthusiasts. Can't say anything bad about the Surf Side Hotel.

Our room was very clean and kept that way each day. The hot breakfast was good and changed each day. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. The location was great since we wanted to explore all of the area, and it was right in the middle. Beach chairs were available to sit on the beach, which had direct access. There was a good choice of nearby restaurants.
