great time. Room exceeded our expectations. Large, clean, modern, with great view of Gulf. Liked the pathway to beach. Very good pool area although we didn't use it, went to beach. Visited Sunset Charlies one time, for Sunday brunch buffet and enjoyed. Very good selection of food and all very edible. Fair price. Surfside was clean and freshly painted inside.... more

We made a reservation with an individual that owned in the resort. The condo was in perfect condition and tastefully decorated. The location was very convenient and the ocean view was very nice. We had a fabulous meal at the restaurant, Sunset Charlie's. We were sat right against the window with a beautiful view of the ocean. We ordered crab... more

The hotel was nice and in such a gorgeous area for beautiful white sugar sand beaches. The concierge was incredibly sweet and such a wonderful guy. The main problem was the hotel's restaurant called Sunset Charlies. The "Ultimate Seafood Buffet" (more like supreme false advertising) for $40.00 had only dried up fried grouper and unimpressive crab cakes inside chafing dishes... more

As I am reading all of the positive and complimentary reviews of our restaurant, I am compelled to contact you and apologize for the shortcomings that you experienced last September. I have recently rejoined this company and truly am proud of the service, food quality and atmosphere that we provide to our guests. It is our goal to exceed every...

Pluses: Great location with a private beach. Decent restaurant. Good price. Minuses: lobby and hallways have a stale smell. Older buidling. Needs upgrading. Room was nice but the shower needs updating. Very crowded. Parking is a cluster. Overall, would stay again if I had to, since the price and location were right. more

We stayed at the Surfside in Aug. 2006. This resort is kept spotlessly clean. The wrap around balconys are so nice, when we weren't on the beach, we were on the balcony.They opened up a restaurant on the bottom floor, so it was very convient to just take the elevator down to eat when we didn't feel like leaving the... more

This was our third stay at Surfside. Wonderful as always. Clean, quiet , with the most beautiful view of the beach and Gulf you could ever want. We have stayed on the east and the west sides of the building both were excellent. This is not a new building, however it is well maintained. The staff was very friendly and... more

Just came back from staying seven HEAVENLY days at the Surfside Resort in Destin. We rented one of the three bedroom condos (there were eight of us; two families) and couldn't have been happier in our choice! Our condo was BEAUTIFULLY decorated, had THREE full baths, a COMPLETELY STOCKED kitchen (including a crock pot) and PLENTY of room to spread... more
