We wanted a property right on the beach for an early September getaway . surf Suites was perfect. The property is well maintained and all of the room appliances are in excellent condition. The view from the balcony was perfect. The weather was great and the beach is very nice. The property is next to the Oceanic restaurant and pier. No charge to walk on pier and fish. Room is large and furnishings are comfortable.
