What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 521 guest reviews
Surf and Sand Lodge earns consistently strong marks for its unbeatable oceanfront location, spectacular views, and well-maintained, clean rooms — with patios and a waterside walking path adding to the appeal. However, practical shortcomings recur across reviews: no elevator makes stair-only access a real issue for less mobile guests, parking is tight, rooms run small with limited storage, and climate control can be confusing. Overall sentiment is very positive, but guests with mobility concerns or specific comfort expectations should factor in these limitations.
