I made the reservation through Expedia. I did not know there was a $22 charge for parking. I called to see about getting an early check-in and was told absolutely not- not until 4:00. The tv remote didn’t work had to call about that. There was no hair dryer in the room. There was very loud young men next door that kept slamming their door and the one at the end of the hall. We had our small dog with us and every time they slammed the door she barked. We complained once but it continued until well past midnight. It was easily within walking distance to the beach and nice restaurants. And it was clean and smelled nice. There is no trash can out by the grass to throw dog bags in but a sign to clean up after your dog. Where are you supposed to put it??

It was a great property for an overnight visit. Being charged a parking fee was a bit disappointing and surprising. You could literally park in the huge parking lot next door for free and see your vehicle from most of the rooms.

Hotel was good. Don't understand why they have to charge $12 a night for parking??? Just include it with what your charging for the room, like a normal hotel.

No customer service

We were unable to stay due to our daughter being admitted to the Children’s Hospital in Orlando the day of our arrival. I emailed them at noon (through Hotels.com) and asked if we could have a credit to return once she was discharged as we are from out of state and knew we would be going that direction soon. It’s been 2 days and we have yet to receive a return email or call (I left my number in the email to them). I know the policy is no refunds after a certain time frame. I was only asking for a credit with them to be used within the next few days.

Our room was very dirty. A pill was found in the bed, rotting spilled sauce in the microwave. Floor in bathroom very dirty. Toilet was dirty. Pair of sunglasses left on sofa. Told front desk staff to give it a thorough cleaning while we were out, but returned to same dirt. They had only changed the towels. Very disappointing. Won’t be back.

Not really sure what all the bad reviews are about. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, it matched the pictures, and the location is amazing. One thing I didn't see the reviews mention and was a surprise to me was that of there is a car show in town (which apparently is a regular occurrence), Surf and Sand allows the car show people to keep their car trailers hooked to their vehicle and take up too many spaces and block the entrances to their parking lot. This is an incredibly stupid decision.

Surprising little treasure on Amelia Island

We came into town on short notice to attend the Amelia Island concourse. This hotel was one of the few that had available rooms. It was also priced under the other hotels in the area so our expectations were not that high. We were surprised. The beds were very nice and very clean with soft sheets. The room was well kept. we had a minor problem with the air conditioner in the room, it would not heat. We told the front desk and they actually had the entire unit changed. It worked perfectly after that, it was brand new. This is what I call very good customer service. The location of this hotel was great. We would definitely stay there again. And we have stayed in places that cost 1000 a night.

The location of the property is great! The condition of the property is out dated and not very well maintained. The rooms are uninviting and has a smell of uncleaniness. There were stains on the sofa. The breakfast is not that great either. Essentially, you get what you pay for at this hotel. I would not recommend. Pay the extra money somewhere else.
