Verified A lovely surf side stay.

☺Right on the beach. Staff sweet and helpful. Five minutes to grocery store and shops. Laundry facilities to do your own laundry. Our room face the ocean and had a balcony - lovely. Pool. Happy hour tho we didn't participate. Plenty of parking. Big ice machine downstairs. Beach/pool towels.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic time at this perfectly located hotel. We had a balcony room overlooking the pool and a side view of the ocean. Free beach chairs and a nice pool. In fact they have an indoor and an outdoor pool along with a hot tub. Fresh popcorn and cookies each day. Restaurants and ice cream shops nearby. It's an older hotel but has character and is very clean. Nice size rooms. Would love to stay here again.

Verified This is an exceptionally nice property.

☺This property is very pretty and exceptionally clean. The staff were very friendly and actually acted like they were glad you were there; especially the lady who served breakfast but I didn’t get her name. Their breakfast is the best we’ve had in all of our travels. The food was hot and plentiful.

☹The bathroom was nice and clean but there was no vanity. The one improvement I would suggest.

Verified Wonderful property and staff!
Wonderful property! Very clean, modern decor, lovely rooms, beds very comfortable with modern linens and mattresses. Amenities were fabulous! Full free breakfast every morning and served with a staff who serve it out of chafing dishes and it was real food cooked there. And a very friendly staff that welcomed you every morning at the breakfast. Everyday they have fresh popcorn in the lobby area which is nicely furnished with games, couches and sitting areas to relax. Every evening they have fresh cookies! The entire staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The pools are very well managed and the path to the beach is very well maintained. . The surf side hotel provides free beach chairs and towels for the pool or beach. I was very impressed with our entire 4 days and would definitely will continue going when I’m in the Outer Banks. The entire staff including housekeeping, maintenance, front desk, food service were exceptional!

Verified ☺Such a hidden gem! The amenities and social hours give it more of a B&B feel with the convenience of a hotel. The breakfast was fantastic, and the staff were all so welcoming!

☹The indoor pool/spa area could use some attention with regard to cleanliness and the caulk around the spa has seen better days.

Verified Overall, this was a wonderful room and we enjoyed our stay very much. Maybe a 4.8 out of 5!

☺The view of the ocean from the balcony was superb, really wonderful. It made our week.
The staff was also very friendly and helpful.
No problem with parking.
The evening cookies were nice.
Closet and bureau had plenty of room.
TVs were large and fine (though I wish direct access to Amazon Prime, not just Netflix, was available).
Good to have table and chairs as well as coffee table in the living room, and a chair in the bedroom.

☹The breakfast was reasonably good (though I wouldn't call it excellent -- a bit repetitive [alternating eggs [from powder, I think] and bacon, then eggs and sausage, and then frittatas, which were good]). Fruit good, coffee good. Nice assortment of muffins and juices. Oatmeal. We didn't try the gravy and biscuits or the waffles. So, overall, good, but not the best. (This should be in a category of, not what you liked or didn't like, but what was good, but not excellent.)
The bed was comfortable, but, like a lot of hotels, they have gone for a very high bed, which is sometimes less easy for old people to get in and out of.
The bathroom was quite small, to the point that using the toilet was a bit challenging. Nice to have bathtub and shower, though.
We had a little problem with moisture on the floor (perhaps a combo of the balcony door and the AC?)

Verified Another fun stay at Surf Side
For the fourth straight year we stayed at Surf Side for 4 days in mid September, 2026. This hotel is located 75-100 yards from the ocean, offers access to at least 5 good restaurants, close proximity to Manteo and Roanoke Island, and a straight shot to Oregon Inlet. We always stay in a room facing the ocean. The rooms have at least one balcony that offers an ocean view, sound, and smell if you do not want to deal with the sand. The rooms are pleasantly appointed and comfortable in size. The bathroom is adequate but small. The amenities include a fine breakfast with many selections, a wine and cheese hour, fresh baked cookies, and a large ice machine that provides ice for your cooler free of charge. The staff is responsive to your requests and pleasant to deal with; although there is always some sort of minor issue with room cleaning. We really enjoy our stay at Surf Side and highly recommend this hotel as an OBX destination.

Verified My family and I enjoyed our stay; we would come back if we visit the OBX again.

☺Complimentary breakfast was great with a few varieties each day. The housekeeping was spot on with having our room serviced and cleaned in a timely manner. The provided beach chairs were a nice touch, and it helped us travel with more space in our vehicle. The cheese and wine social, board games and checkers/chess, popcorn, and fresh chocolate chip cookies were also great to have in the lobby area. Also, we love that there is an outdoor and indoor swimming pool as other options to enjoy ourselves than the beach. Outside the hotel there were nearby spots that are walkable to dine and have dessert.

☹There wasn’t much we didn’t like. However, we have found a few areas that were missed while keeping the hotel clean and tidy, but it wasn’t bad.

Verified Great place to stay!

☺Always a great value.

☹While the property states “ocean front” we were under the impression that ALL rooms were “ocean view” and, as we’ve stayed here several times in the past, we were also under the impression that all rooms had balconies, our’s did not. We were also in the building that allowed pets and had no elevator. While I wish these points were clearly stated when booking the room for the week, we still enjoyed our stay and as it was the last available room at a great price would have booked it regardless!

We will be back again!

We ended up extending our stay and they accommodated getting us a new room right away, was able to check in early and everything. First time in the outer banks and I am glad to know we have a great place to stay when we are back!

Verified Family satisfied with first experience in OBX.
Great location to see both sunrise and sunset. The room that we got was perfect, it had a great view at a reasonable price per night, and it was very well maintained and cleaned by room service every day. The noise level was acceptable even if we were located on the first floor overlooking the swimming pool. The amenities are great with their wine and cheese social, fresh cookies in the check-in/check-out room, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and beach chairs to use at the beach. They also have a popcorn maker which is a great touch while playing chess, checkers, and several board games stored in their shelves. Lastly, cannot go wrong with their breakfast and the great staff. We will definitely come back in the future.

Verified My favorite OBX hotel
I have been staying here since 2018, the hotel is lovely and the amenities and location is amazing. Being right on the beach is great. There are plenty of restaurants and places for souvenirs and ice cream that are walkable or within a couple minutes drive. The hotel is very clean and the free breakfast is great.
