    Definitely exactly what we needed when our dune camping spot didnt work out. Would stay here again. Thank for being awesome

    The word "fine" is often misapplied to mean bad. Fine is not a bad thing. It's also not super exciting. Fine does the job, but without pizazz, and there's a place for establishments like the Dune Surfer Inn that are fine. It's close to a road that can be a bit noisy, but that road enables a 5 minute walk to the beach. The walls were a little thin and the building old, but the price was fair and the room was clean. There aren't any amenities to note, but they let us check in at noon and the guy at the desk was nice. For our short 24 hour stay in the area where we just slept in the room, it did the job. It was fine.

    The rooms were very clean, air conditioning worked great, staff was super helpful and friendly!

    I like the fact I can walk to the beach direct from the hotel and there are two small food stands on the way. It is a very basic motel. Very few amenities in the room or on the property. Staff is friendly and very quickly corrected some issues I had with noise and my door not locking. You will hear everything. You can hear the TV next door, conversations, snoring, etc. If you're ok with that, I would recommend this motel.

    Stayed here for one night with our 3 kids while traveling by down to SoCal. Was clean and the staff were friendly. Had everything you need, would stay again.

    Wonderful visit!!

    Check in was great and the young lady was very nice and helpful. She accommodated my request for the first floor due to my injured ankle, so that was much appreciated. Also, parking was perfect, just outside the door to the room. I didn’t notice until the next morning that there was no tv remote, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. The fixtures seemed dated, but were functional. The king size bed was comfortable and the small refrigerator worked great. Was a little concerned when the bottom of my freshly washed white socks were a bit dirty from walking around on the floor. Also, no breakfast is included, but I was prepared, so no big deal. This was my second stay at this hotel and the stays were a similar experience. It’s not a luxury hotel, but it’s not luxury prices either.

    Could walk to everything!

    Close to the beach however right off of main road with lots of traffic and sirens.

    The staff was alright, but the rooms were very minimal. The beds look and feel like IKEA specials. There was mold growing in the shower. There must not be any insulation in the walls, as I could clearly hear a phone call in the adjoining room and hours worth of children upstairs running and jumping in their room above mine. I suppose if all you want is a room near the beach and don't mind not sleeping, this motel would suffice.

    Staff are amazing. Second weekend in a row. Brought other family to join us. They had for 4th of July S'mores boxes. So sweet for the holiday weekend. Spent 3 nights and had 2 rooms. Will not be our last trip there. Looking forward to our next trip.

    Clean, quiet, and comfortable. Close to beach and restaurant across the street. Staff very helpful and attentive. Very clean room. Great place to rest a bit before heading out to the shore only a block away. Really nice.

    Nice little spot for a mini vacation with family.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room was cozy with a good size kitchen. The beds were so comfortable to sleep on. The shower was the best! The room was very nice and we loved how close we were to the beach. We would definitely come back here to stay. The price was very reasonable for what we got.
