“BEST MOTEL TO STAY IN WILDWOOD”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I have been going to Surf Haven Motel for 2 years now and every time I go, it just keeps getting better. Lat Labor day weekend in 2011 I stayed there again for 4 nights and had the best time I have ever had. Every time we go down there we meet more people. this time we met a group of girls from the Philly area that were so much fun and it was their fist time there and now they are planning to come back again this labor day weekend in 2012. when ever you stay there you allways meet the nicest people and everyone who stays ther helps each other and shares with each other. We also met this nice couple who also will be returning this labor day again with their children. Donna and her husband are allways so very helpfull and accomadating. If you need something they allways try to help you get it. They have the best staff ever!!! I just think more people shjould stay there and you will see the difference in this motel versus others who dont even care that you are staying at thier place. donna allways greets everyone by name and allways checks up on everyone to make sure their saty is as pleasant as can be. My neice and her kids had a great time again and this time her kids made friends with the couple who are coming back agin this labor day. it was so cute seing the kids having a sleep over in the motel and bonding so good. I will allways stay the Surf Haven and I think it is the excellent place to stay, its close to everything and the owners have great people skills and make you feel like family!!!!! i hope everyone reading this gives surf Haven a try, you will be amazed at the service and the family atmosphere!!!!

“Friendly hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

people found this review helpful

I only spent a weekend at the hotel but I had a great time. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the kitchenette was a great extra. The beach in North Wildwood is much shorter and this hotel is only a few blocks from the beach. My kids had a great time in the pool. We were very happy with our stay.

“Excellent”

My family stayed at the Surf Haven for the week in August. We did get evacuated but the time we had there was worth every minute of it. The owners are so awesome and they really treat you just like family. The rooms were extremely clean as well as every other area of the motel. This place is the perfect shore vacation. You can walk everywhere, and you feel right at home. The kids enjoyed the pool very much! There were some days they did not want to get out. The beach was very clean too. The boardwalk and amusement parks were amazing. I will definitely be going back. Thank you to Donna and Carl you guys really helped to make my family's first vacation together a very memorable one and we will be back next summer. Best Wishes Nicole, Wagner, Donte, and Natalia

“Hurricane Irene”

people found this review helpful

My family and I spent a week at Surf Haven when Hurricane Irene was in the coast. Although we had to evacuate, Surf Haven was very welcoming! It is a perfect place to spend your summer vacation. Its just a few blocks away from the beach and a playground. The owners have gone beyond the call of duty in satisfying our family has needs and wants. They were very accommodating. I would highly recommend Surf Haven Motel to anyone looking for a perfect place to spend your summer.
