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.

Would love to have a later check out option. Only gave us 15 minutes which was nice but not enough when we needed the extra time due to stomach issues.

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.
