Cute retro hotel. I'm a local and often stay here when I need a beach break. Some rooms are a bit cramped, elevator sounds like it may crash at any moment, but the views are wonderful and the outdoor space is cute and fun. Breakfast was very good. Room was clean (except the floor - it wasn't visibly dirty but my feet were after walking around a bit). Not the place for luxury, but if you want an affordable hotel in a great location, I recommend the Surf and Sand!

Super easy access to both the ocean and bay. The rooms had a little more space than typical rooms, they’re pet friendly and staff were very helpful and friendly. The only downside is that their pool is not heated. I would recommend.

We found that (1) the mattresses in this room were uncomfortable--it felt as if there were sunken spots on the left side of the mattress nearest to bathroom and right side of the bed on mattress near the window. (2) We booked for four guests and received only three towels, and (3) the tv only received one channel, which did not have local news. We are going to choose another destination for Mardi Gras 2026.
