Surf Club Oceanfront Hotel

Surf Club Oceanfront Hotel

5/5 Excellent
"Things we liked was the plank flooring, the books that were in the dresser. The cleanliness of the room, the staff was also very helpful. Due to my not reading the fine print of no elevator & the dumbwaiter, I had to drag my suitcase all the way to the top floor. Great location & peaceful on that end of the beach."
