Great Bed and Breakfast! It was quiet and had a lovely historic home. The breakfast was filling and good. The small coffee center outside of the room for convenience anytime was a nice touch. It was a rainy weekend, so we didn't get to walk around the grounds, but there are over 2 acres and the house is set back from the road so it's nice and quiet. The owners were welcoming. Overall, it was a great place to stay for a weekend away.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (237 reviews)
If you're looking for a cozy, comfortable, and well-located spot for a beach getaway, the Surf Shanty Motel in Dewey Beach is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, I was impressed by how clean and well-kept everything was. The room was incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect place to unwind. Comfortable beds, huge TV and great shower.
One of the highlights for me was the motel's prime location—it’s just a short walk to the beach or the bay and you're also close to some of the best restaurants.
The little touches at Surf Shanty Motel really set it apart. They offer wonderful products like Malin and Goetz and Waiākea water. It's clear the owners and Andre the manager put a lot of thought into creating a welcoming atmosphere with those thoughtful details. It made my stay feel extra special and made me eager to return in the future.
All in all, it's an excellent choice for anyone looking to enjoy Dewey Beach in comfort and style. I’ll definitely be back!
