I love this place. It’s clean and comfortable. And the staff are friendly and inviting. They even give you a s’mores care package so you can build a bonfire on the beach. I thought that was the cherry on top.

The property was exactly as advertised. No frills and clean, with all the basic amenities. The staff was kind and attentive and made the stay enjoyable for me and my dog.. With only a 5 minute walk to an epic beach, I will stay here again when I am in the area. Very satisfied.

Great service, renovated property

We were so impressed by the service at this property. I have bad asthma and also had to arrive very late, so I contacted them about both before booking. They were fantastic through the whole process including when we learned our arrival would be even later, great when we checked in, and then giving us a little extra time to check out. Saved the day! The property also felt clean and newly remodeled. And I appreciated the shower toiletry dispensers vs tiny bottles. We would definitely stay again (and hopefully much earlier)!

The property was nice! I enjoyed my stay. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the shower soap dispenser not working when I took a shower but everything I enjoyed!

The new renovations were a bonus - and a very comfortable bed. Rude guests making noise with their children and a party truck at 11pm ruined the calm and quiet accommodations - but this wasn't the fault of the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful upon check in. I would encourage travelers to consider the Dune Surfer Inn if they are in the area.

The hallway light at night made the room too lit. The curtains weren’t effective. This was the only complaint. Everything else was great.
