The Surf Villa Hotel has been a landmark in Ocean City since the 1920s. The hotel is conveniently located near the boardwalk and within walking distance to the amusement parks, shops, restaurants, marinas, and most of Ocean City's great attractions. One of our best features however, is that we are only 300 feet from one of the most magnificent beaches on the East Coast.

We invite you to enjoy the lovely ocean view from the rocking chairs on our front porch. Each morning we also invite you to join us in our family style lobby for coffee, tea, and conversation. We encourage a family atmosphere and welcome families, groups, and other organizations.
 
Each of our 25 rooms and our available apartment is unique in design, has a color TV with forty channels, and air conditioning. Our staff is available 24 hours to assist you and give you personalized attention.
 
You will surely enjoy staying at the Surf Villa. It is a clean and comfortable hotel which all visitors say has a personal touch.

The location was the biggest positive—it was within walking distance of the beach and boardwalk, which made it very convenient.

Unfortunately, there were several issues during our stay. The bathroom was extremely small, and the shower had almost no water pressure. We were also disappointed to find out that parking cost extra, as this wasn’t made clear upfront.

Another concern was that we left for breakfast and returned to find our room door open after housekeeping had been in the room. Since the hotel uses keypad locks, this was very concerning from a security standpoint. We also weren’t informed until checkout that we were expected to return the towels and other room items ourselves, even though they were already provided in the room.

While the location is excellent, the lack of communication, security concern, and overall room experience left us disappointed. I hope these issues are addressed for future guests.

The room was small, which is ok. We just needed it for sleeping. But the bed was awful, the shower was awful… tiny, low shower head and clogged drain, they had an outlet with so many plugs attached it was no doubt a fire hazard. The whole place smelled of vinegar, feet and tuna. The floors were lifting, paint peeling. I don’t care if it was affordable, we’ll never stay again. Absolutely awful parking.

My experience was horrible! Parking Lot in back was small! Extra parking was Blocks away! Very expensive for the quality of room. Could barely move around in shower and I'm only 5'1" 126 lbs! The Manager was rude as ever and refused me a receipt until I argued with him for 18 minutes! Would not allow my children (2 adults male and female) entrance to my room! They just wanted to change their clothes after the beach because they had a 2 1/2 hrs drive and he refused them! I will NEVER return there and wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy! Wasn't modern at all! The Best thing about the room is a block from the beach. NEVER AGAIN!!
