Vero Beach, Florida | Surf Club Hotel - Review

In April of this year, my husband and I just wanted to get away from it all. Where do you get away when you live in the vacation state? Grab the kids. Bring the little dog. and wake up ON the beach. Seems like it might be easy to do in Florida, but it's really not. There are so many hotels, so many websites, and it can be very overwhelming. If you don't have a recommendation, or a lead or a "connection" with a great property you can easily be disappointed.

So I decided to Google Pet Friendly Florida Hotels, and right away the name of the hotel just popped for me. "Surf Club Hotel"  Cute, Quaint, Peaceful - that's what I think of. and the price! (in April, when the ocean is a bit chill) The price was unbeatable. We Booked right away for 2 nights. 

Upon arriving on the property we just in heaven. This hotel is right on the water. When you're swimming in the pool the ocean is on the horizon. There is a cute little dock/staircase to get to the ocean with showers to rinse your feet, and a wooden bench right there to watch a morning sunrise. 

The rooms, a bit old school. But in a reminiscent of your childhood and life before modern day technologies took over. Yes, there's WIFI, everyone relax. But the outside atmosphere can make the grumpiest person I know smile. The pool is beautiful and well kept. and right off the pool is a TIKI patio/restaurant so you can eat your breakfast or dinner overlooking the water and the pool. 

Our dog just absolutely LOVED the beach and everyone was very respectful and mindful with the dog. A very relaxed environment. I highly recommend asking for a pool view room, the ocean is RIGHT there.  It's very family friendly - there was even pool toys for the kids that were just "there" for us to use.  There is also a giant cabana for Surf Club guests to use on the beach (its never been occupied for too long when we are there) and tons of lounge chairs by the pool and ON THE BEACH that you don't have to pay to use! These simple amenities really make me feel at home.

Since our April Visit, we went again, in the same month we loved it so much and then we recently just this past week went for our summer family vacation. Most rooms have fridges and microwaves, plenty of space and tile floors for easy sand removal.(and I bring slippers)

The other great thing about this  hotel is that they consider themselves "An Oasis of God's Peace".  We found out that it's family owned and the family that owns it are very nice people. We were able to attend  a 10am Church service right on site. Literally, by the lobby.

We will continue to take our family to Surf Club Hotel in Vero Beach for many years. We have created countless memories already and being a Floridian it's hard to feel like "I'm on vacation"...but I truly feel like it there.  This is truly one of my favorite spots in Florida!
