We stayed for a wedding and location was great and price was decent! We had a non-view room which was fine, nice walkable path to the beach and trails. Really enjoyed our time in the area but mostly used the place as a spot to sleep and it did the job!

Great location on the water and on a biking path. Beautiful views from the balcony. Space was quiet and was clean. We rented bikes and did laundry at the "sister property" next door which was a nice amenity.

The room was roomy and welcoming. I always enjoy my stays at the Surf and Sound. Other than noisy neighbors with children who eventually settled down at 11 pm, the stay was relaxing.

The ground were beautiful and it was right across the beach and along a walking/bike path. They had a great size fridge inside the room. Better than most hotels. Parking was very convenient to all of the rooms and would stay here again. Best place in Fort Bragg!
