Very clean hallways, rooms, and general sitting areas. The breakfast was organized and had a variety of items, with a changing menu. The server was always friendly. Can't beat the location to the beach!

The breakfast menu was fresh. The balcony was nice and had an ocean view, but I couldn't see the sunrise from it. Last year we had a room over the pool. I was able to enjoy the sunrise from my balcony daily. Our room was clean and the staff was pleasant. We have been coming for four years now. We will be returning next year.

This was our first time in Nags Head! Surf Side hotel did not disappoint. From the moment we checked in we had a great experience. We were celebrating my mom's 70th birthday and her small welcome gift in the room was such a beautiful surprise!! The hotel was very clean and all the staff were very helpful and accommodating to our needs!! The elevator is slow and breakfast is okay but those were the only 2 things that could be improved in our eyes! Thanks for giving us a great stay. We look forward to coming back and visiting again!! Surf Side will definitely be our hotel!!

Our room was never cleaned during our stay. All we got was clean towels and coffee restocks.
The breakfast was good, nice selection each day with waffles available every morming.
Pool area was clean and hot tub was hot.
Overall, we'd stay there again.

We chose this location based on its proximity to the beach and it did not disappoint. We loved being able to walk right out to the ocean - towels and beach chairs were readily available. Breakfast was quick and easy. Towels were refreshed daily in the room which was much appreciated. Staff were helpful and kind. We also liked being a short drive to so many things in the area.

Great location right on the water front, breakfast is ok and certainly more convenient than going elsewhere.
We did enjoy the complimentary wine and cheese in the afternoon. Balcony is large enough to be useful and chairs are very comfy.

Hotel is dated (although freshly painted) Hall carpets smell like wet dirty sand
Bed (and pillows) are Hard (pillows smelled like dirty hair)
Maid entered my room-even though there was a Privacy Please on the door knob
Stated non smoking hotel-yet people were smoking at the picnic tables (beneath the hotel) on their balconies and in front of the hotel under the carport
Pool was Disgusting (inside and out) water was forever Cloudy and there was never a smell of chlorine signs it was cleaned (we have a pool and I know what cloudy water means!)
Stated they have a single park grill...it's an outdoor charcoal grill that is covered in sand and bird poop
Bathroom wall is incredibly Thin-I could hear them taking care of business and their conversations like they were in My bathroom
Not near Anything...

We booked this trip for my husband and I and 3 grandboys ages 4,7, and 11. Being oceanfront it was ideal. We were able to get chairs and towels for the beach and pool. Our loft room with 3 sleeping areas was ideal. The beds were pretty comfortable for us. The breakfast was just right and cookies and milk were advertised at 8pm. Our grandboys were excited to get some but there was no milk both nights. We had a loose tub faucet and after asking at the desk it was repaired while we were out. It was over $500 a
night but mostly worth it.

We thought that this was a great option for a convenient and stress-free family beach vacation. The property may not be as updated or modern as some other hotels in the area, but it is clean, the rooms were spacious, the location is great. We reserved our room late and ended up with a dune view double queen room, and even though we did not face the ocean or pool directly, we did not feel disconnected from the beach.
We really appreciated how friendly and helpful the staff was and felt very well taken care of. The hotel includes a nice breakfast and upscale dining area, and several other snacks are provided throughout the day which was a nice bonus. Access to the beach is very direct and goes right past the pool deck, so it's easy to transition between the two, which we've found to be the best way to do full beach days with young kids.
For a family of four with two kids under four, we thought this met our needs very well and was at a good price point relative to other options in the outer banks that offered similar amenities. If you are looking to do a family beach vacation in the Outer Banks, this is a great place to stay.

Hotel location was perfect. Walkway to the beach was easily accessible, clear, and padded for your feet with multiple shower heads to rinse. Staff was amazing, specifically the front desk and Naya. From the initial check-in to the checkout. The front desk staff setup a wine night and cookies later. They even brought out the wine/cheese after the event was over. The hotel breakfast was great. The menu changed every day, but not too much. It had a great variety and tasted great. The breakfast server was very kind and had a southern hospitable, comfort to it. The room itself was good. It even had a microwave. Overall, the hotel was fantastic and I would definitely stay again.

Great beach access and nice pool area. Our family including 3 very active little boys had a blast. Breakfast and happy hour were very nice and thoughtful touches for the guests. Feels like a boutique hotel but with resort quality features. 10/10 would recommend!

We stayed May 31-June 3 2026
Staff: very kind
Breakfast: was AMAZING Monday June 1st, other days were not good at all.
Outdoor pool: FREEZING
indoor pool: just as cold if not colder then outdoor pool (was in a whole other building beside main building)
Hottub: closed, out of commission (whole reason we booked this hotel…)
We couldn’t use hardly ANY of the amenities.
Room wasn’t terrible but bathroom there is NO room at all, you can’t even lay a floor mat down after a shower, hardly any lighting in the entire room
The mini fridge froze every single thing we had in there, we turned the temp and it still was froze. We did turn it off and let it defrost and turned it back on and it still froze everything.

Pros: they had beach chairs and beach towels you can borrow! Cleaning staff asked if we need anything when they see us even if we had the do not disturb sign up (asked us outside of the room)

This is a delightful beach side hotel. Our 4th floor room with balcony facing the ocean was superb. The hotel supplies beach towels and chairs to the guests. Wine and cheese from 5-6 pm and fresh cookies in the lobby at 8 pm. Its a smaller property, so if you forget something in the room, it is not a trek to get it. It's near Jannette's Pier if you enjoy fishing off a pier and very near Manteo and Bodie Lighthouse. A real gem. Highly recommend.

I have stayed here many times in the past and always enjoyed the experience. However, this past trip, we returned from an all day offshore fishing trip to find our room door wide open. Unsettling to say the least (fortunately nothing was missing from the room). After looking around, it seemed like the housekeeper finished half of their duties and walked out (i.e., the beds were made and towels replaced but trash remained on the coffee maker counter, nothing was wiped off and amenities were not replenished. My Dad reported this to the front desk when we checked out and I am a little disappointed that management did not follow up by communicating with me.
However, I will report that the hot breakfast remains the best in all of Nagshead!

Our stay at Surf Side Hotel was absolutely amazing! 5 stars without a doubt.

The cleanliness of the rooms was outstanding — everything was spotless, fresh, and very comfortable. You can really tell they take pride in keeping the hotel in excellent condition. The beds were comfortable, and the entire room felt welcoming and relaxing for our family.

The breakfast was excellent every morning, with very good variety and quality. It made starting the day so much easier, especially traveling with children.

The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. Everyone treated us with kindness and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

The hotel facilities were also excellent. Everything was well maintained, clean, and family-friendly. We especially loved all the complimentary touches they offer in the lobby — it made the experience feel even more special.

Our kids also loved the games and activities available for children, which made the stay even better for the whole family.

Overall, everything was super amazing. This hotel made our trip to Outer Banks even more memorable, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
