Surfhouse

Just steps from the ocean, with clean rooms and a relaxed, stylish feel that fits Leucadia so well. The place feels personal and welcoming, and everything seems thoughtfully put together. I’ll be back.

The rooms were cute and a really good size, and the location was great, on a fun street with lots of restaurants you can walk to and a short walk from the beach. There’s no front desk, but they respond quickly by text. I needed to stay an extra night, and they let me keep my room until another one was ready, which was very kind and above and beyond. The restaurants and railroad can make the street a bit loud, but it eventually quiets down, and it didn’t bother me much.

The train noise was loud through the night, since you’re right by the railroad intersection, and I definitely struggled to sleep. They do provide a sound machine and earplugs, which helps. Aside from that, the updated rooms and bathrooms are really nice. The area is great for walking to the beach, restaurants, and stores, and having parking spots was a big plus with a car.

The complimentary bikes were a highlight, and the beach is easy to reach, as are the fun shops and local spots. The train is close and can be loud at night sometimes, but it never woke me up. You can’t beat the location.
