The room is very spacious. The staff was very helpful. My husband left his prescription sunglasses in the room. The staff found it, called us, and mailed it back to our home.

The bathroom needs a complete renovation. Shower sprayed e everywhere, the sink pressure was so high that every time you turned it on you got soaking wet, the bathroom is just in total disrepair.

We had an awesome time staying at the Surf Inn! Staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations on dining options. It was a great home base to do exploring of the surrounding area. The Gualala Regional Park is only a few minutes away and there's a nice little bluff trail from the property. Gualala is a beautiful friendly town and would highly recommend stopping by and not just a drive through town. We'll definitely be coming back to the Surf Inn!

Loved our stay! The proprietor was so helpful and kind and our room was perfect, with a view of the ocean. Lots of good food nearby and walks along the beach and bluff. Can’t wait to return!
