We stayed at the Silver Surf for 4 nights in early September and I have to admit it was my favorite beach trip ever. You're right across the street from the private beach which wasn't crowded, not even on Labor Day weekend. It was so nice to be 100 yards from the room where all your things are at and even better is that the stay includes beach chairs and umbrellas set up for you on the beach. Our room was very clean and the staff was unbelievably good. Noah was especially good to us but all the staff was unbelievable. We left something in the room by accident and housekeeping found it and they called us before we were 15 minutes away, just great folks everywhere we looked. While there were plenty of restaurants in the area there are still some buildings that haven't recovered from last years Hurricane but they are working hard on it and be sure that the Silver Surf has fully recovered. We will be back next year.

I want to highlight the excellent services provided, especially by Noah, who was fantastic. However, I did have a less-than-ideal experience with the staff member managing the umbrellas. She seemed a bit aggressive regarding the tiki area and asked us about our room checkout in a manner that felt rude, almost as if she thought we were taking advantage of our stay. It would be helpful if the communication could be more friendly and understanding in the future.
