Horrible property shocked that they are a Marriott owned hotel! They won’t tell you that they took one night on my credit card without telling me. I thought I had fraud on my credit card. Staff was rude and room smells.

Great Weekend Stay

The hotel was in the perfect location and beach access is right out the back door. Great pool and pool bar. No microwave but staff accommodated us by heating up our daughter’s food in the staff lounge. That was so nice. The restaurant is fantastic and the food was delicious.

We loved our impromptu stay at Trailborn Surf & Sound. The hotel was recently renovated and is beautiful. The hotel offers many amenities like the greens with outdoor games, the beach (along with umbrellas, towels, and Lounge chairs) and even boogie boards and games for the kids. There is a pool bar and onsite restaurant. Coffee is tasty as well! We wish the pool was heated and the staff cleaned our room earlier in the day. Aside from this, we were very happy! We would definitely stay here again!
