Talbot County Visitor Center Tours

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!

If you arrive after 5 p.m there is noone at the front desk to check you in you actually have to call the after hours number to get a code to be able to get your key card which is not ideal cause if there is an emergency or if you need assistance there is noone there to help you. I love that it was pet friendly as i was able to take my princess with me. The room itself was fine great view but the downfall was that the tv in the master bedroom would ahut off every2 minutes amd thats no exaggeration it was so frustrating i could watch tv. The hotel property itself needs work I was on the top floor and the balcony felt like it was gonna fall everytime you step on it. Its like the balcony is slanted it was scary walking through the balcony. Also be prepared to pay more for the pet fee it says $125 but when you get there its actually $138. What disappointed me the most and the reason i booked this hotel was for the heated indoor pool but that was not accurate the water was polarized cold no person can swim in that water and the jacuzzi doesnt even work which was another disappointment so me and my fanily couldn't even use the pool during our stay and then when you call the after hours number to ask about the pool and why its not heated they say they dont know. Lastly the checkout being at 10 a.m is too early. The fact that check in is at 5p.m which is late and then to have checkout at 10a.m that really needs to be changed.

Everything we needed was in the hotel 5 stars.
