We usually get to the surf club a few times a year. We go because we love Dewey Beach, the location is perfect and the view is great! The rooms are clean but in need of a little updating. We usually stay in one of ocean front rooms, but they were renovating (the front facade i think) when we were... More

Ok, This was our first trip to Dewey Beach, Delaware for a relaxing vacation. Unfortunately, relaxing was one thing this vacation was not. Right now the Surf Club is under going some MAJOR renovations (which will probably look great when it is done) but right now it is noisy and the workers knock on the door or try to walk... More

We do apoligize for the painting contractor trying to enter your room. We did give them a list of rooms that had guests and your room was on that list. Even so, this should not happen. Also I believe they booked with a 3rd party vendor and did not call the hotel directly, as we tell any potential guests that... More

I have been a loyal customer for the last 18 summers at the surf club in Dewey beach. In the last few years I have been continually disappointed in the Surf Club and it's management staff. The rooms have not been updated in the entire time, but although it wasn't the cleanest place i have stayed, or the most comfortable... More

We have made an effort at The Surf Club to keep it family friendly. With that being said we now have night security to make sure noise is kept to a minimum between 11 at night till 8AM. Also the balconies must be kept clear due to fire code regulations and are for regress and egress only. The entire property... More

I stayed here for an annual girls' weekend in Dewey Beach. The location of this property could not have been better, as far as proximity to all of the popular restaurants and bars! Being right on the beach with an ocean view was the icing on the cake! Check-in was quick and Jay at the front desk was friendly and... More

My wife, (beachlover898) reported on our vacation last year, at the Surf Club Hotel in Dewey Beach, De. This year, we spent some time, again in August at the Surf club. We had another terrific vacation. The main thing about the Surf Club Hotel is their family oriented attitude. There is an attentive staff that makes you feel comfortable. This... More

You may be able to find more exquisite accommodations, but not for the money. Rooms are clean and well equipped. Right on the beach, with great ocean front and ocean views, and you are seconds from your spot on the sand. Walking distance everywhere. Ruddertowne. Grottos. Starboard. Jimmie's. This is a clean place to stay. The rooms are immaculate. Well... More

The Ocean and sounds of the waves crahing onto the shores were so close The beach from Rehobeth thru Dewey is mainly un-developed with million dollar beach homes. This property is located at the...

Stayed during Greyhound and Sidewalk Sales week. Hotel was full, but everyone was quiet and slept quite well. The room was clean and the view of the sun coming up over the ocean is beautiful beyond words. The only problem we encountered was parking. We had a hard time finding a space, but waitied until everyone else went for dinner... More

Bright comfortable room that was just slightly seedy (door dead bolt wouldn't close, a little peeling here and there but minor, murphy bed not as comfy as regular but not bad) but not bad... More

I drove down to Dewey Beach for a long weekend getaway and stayed at The Surf Club. They booked me into a third floor room, which had an excellent view down the length of the beach, surf and sand, as far as I could see. This was enjoyable while working on the computer indoors, and I was only steps from... More
