Surfcrest Resort

Second time here and the staff are as friendly and helpful as I remember from a couple years ago. Great location and quiet. We love the incremental improvements. Super low key place. Like a throwback to another era.

Property had easy 15 min walk to beach, pool was nice, jetted tub not very strong—couldn’t tell if it was on. Game room upstairs would have been more fun if the video games worked and the large screen tv worked. Nice patio, but no seating. Rooms were adequate, outdated by about 40 years. Upstairs master bedroom had patio with no furniture. No bathroom upstairs so had to go down pebble-surfaced spiral staircase to the small bathroom. Very small kitchenette they managed to put a table and four chairs in it so if you wanted to open the oven or fridge, people had to move. I expected more, and feel it was overpriced for what you got. Our family friends had the unit next to us and their heat did not work. I would consider going back if it was remodeled and amenities were working. It probably was a great place in the 80s or early 90s.

It’s our second stay on this property and service is still superior. Great customer service exists here. Lots of amenities catered for the whole family so plan your trip ahead. Will definitely include this on our yearly weekend vacation. Watch out Surfcrest, we will keep coming back :)

As a retired couple enjoying a few days at the beach, we probably aren’t the target market for this property. I would think a family reunion situation or a kid-centric vacation would be best suited for a longer stay at this aging resort. After we made peace with the fact that we’d have to brave a very steep spiral staircase to get to the bedroom (and the only bathroom was downstairs), we decided to make the best of it and try to enjoy the wet area. We got to the pool to find a big group of people with very noisy children taking up the hot tub. We gave them about 20 minutes and checked again to see if we could get in, and they were still there so we said forget it and went back to the room. It’s also a fairly long walk to the beach, and since it was raining we didn’t even venture out. Just slept and left before taking a shower the next morning because we just couldn’t stomach the old shower and bathroom situation. All in all, the staff seemed friendly and accessible, but as I said… we aren’t the target market.

Great place for a family adventure This place is situated in a beautiful area and they have made so many fun things available for the family. Kayaks for use up and down the channel, campfire in the evenings, pool area with dry sauna and hot tub are fun activities. The path to the beach was flooded due to heavy rain so it was fun walking on a “boardwalk” of planks and limbs to get across the puddles. The lodging was good for 4 people, but I would say that is the max amount for the size of the space. All the beds were up a winding staircase and the bathroom is downstairs, so if you have people who use the bathroom in the middle of the night it can be precarious. Overall we enjoyed this place and they allow dogs. The people were all friendly and very helpful.

Perfect family getaway This place is really a hidden gem. It’s great for an affordable family trip. We had everything we needed for everything we wanted to do on our ocean trip right at our fingertips. They have a path to the beach, a playground for the younger kids, a pool, outdoor grilling area, a campfire place, so many more things that we didn’t even get to take advantage of this trip. We will definitely be back asap.
