My Happy Place!

I have stayed at Surf Lodge several times. Always amazing! The bed is THE BEST! I usually travel alone and reserve the Economy queen which is perfect for one or two people. The lodge is located on the main road, right next to shops and Breakers café (best ceviche around!), and just a short walk to the most majestic beach I've ever experienced! Stinson Surf Lodge is well worth the stay!

Lovely place, highly recommend. The kitchen could use a few more basics but our stay was great. If you plan on cooking, bring your own oil.

The cute little bungalow-style rooms are fastidiously clean, well styled, and have the basics for a relaxing weekend getaway. The host was accommodating and welcoming. There are two common areas where you may picnic or sip on coffee and outdoor shower areas for post-beach clean-up. The beach and great restaurants are a walk away.

great spot for families with kids

This is a cool spot in stinson beach. Rooms are clean and well stocked. it was easy to check in online and get access codes. great for families with kids since it is walking distance to the beach and playground. Parking is very limited but that seems to be a problem for the town.

Great spot! Cozy, clean, walkable to all of Stinson, amazing hike one block away. Staff was very responsive to all questions and needs. Have done a good job with a small space. Fire pit and table in common area, secure gate is nice touch leading to rooms

I absolutely loved my stay at the Surf Lodge. It’s super charming and stylish! It’s really close to the beach and you can walk to everything. The bed was so comfortable! I had the best nights’sleep I’ve had in ages. I work with the public so needed a solo beach vacation where I got to not talk, sleep and eat when I wanted to, and enjoy meals out. It’s a short drive to a ton of beautiful places and the hiking nearby on Tam is great, with stunning views and fresh air. I will recommend this place to all my clients who need a sweet relaxing getaway and who demand both all the comforts and super stylish design in their vacation hotels.

Kelly at the front desk was so sweet and accommodating as soon as we drove up to the property. I had planned a mother daughter weekend and Kelly made it extra special. We were able to get a free upgrade which worked out so well because my 14 year likes to sprawl out and leave her stuff everywhere. If I needed anything, I was able to text Kelly for help and she always responded promptly. Side note: I had a little trouble with the key code to our room. (User error, nothing to do with facility) The property offered a feeling of privacy, security and relaxation all at once. I will be coming back. This place was amazing. It’s been a long time since I've been this impressed with the level of service and care. Thanks Surf lodge for making my mother daughter trip so memorable.

Love this place!!!

The Surf Lodge is amazing and Kelly was the best! We spent 4th of July week here and could have stayed another week... They have a beautiful rooms, a fire pit with cozy blankets, an outdoor shower, beach chairs, in room Nespresso, beach chairs and towels... Everything is well appointed, gorgeous, and we enjoyed a next level us s'mores kit on our last night. In addition, we had a glitch with our Hotels.com booking that was really not the Surf Lodge's problem, but Kelly took it on anyway and resolved the problem for us. Customer service is really important to us, and the Surf Lodge was on point...We will definitely be back!!!
