Dune Surfer Inn

Dune Surfer Inn

10/10 Excellent
"This is a clean hotel location. Expect the bare minimum (basic soaps, towels, etc.) so bring any desired ammenities (extra pillow, beach towels, etc.). I attended during the week in September and traffic was slow and the area was calm. Rooms had decent insulation and I slept well. The mattress is basic and functional. There was a refrigerator in room and microwave. A minor market is next door for convenience. Great budget friendly located hotel."

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location and amazing value! The room quality felt more like 5 star hotel than a motel! It’s family owned and run by husband- and- wife team who clearly take a pride in the property. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and the incredible dune beach just a minute away- only $5 for all day parking,including in and out as many times you want! And you park your car by the water! Don’t forget a beach chair and an umbrella! It’s a huge parking space for free, but a walk to the ocean. And did I mention the price? One of the best values I have found, with parking included! Can’t wait when September is coming next year!!!!"

10/10 Excellent
"The ocean view was amazing, and being able to walk 10 steps to the sand was something else. The house was perfect for our needs and had many amenities across the street or 3-4 min walk down the street. Being able to have our ESA with us was perfect, and non stressful. If we needed anything they responded within 30 min or less with a resolution. They had beach chairs and boogie boards for use, the rooftop view was amazing (where we ate our dinner the first night, that we purchased across the street.) This house was the perfect getaway for our family before starting back to college. Will definitely stay here again. Thanks for the perfect getaway!"

"Hosts were incredibly responsive and quick to respond. Kitchen is fully stocked for whatever you would need or want. Clearly they put a lot of thought into what you might need or have forgotten. Love that they provide lots of beach equipment so you don't have to bring your own. The game room is a fun addition to your hang time at the house.
