Just got back from a 4 day vacation here at Mail Sail on Hampton Beach. We never stayed here…read morebefore and are very happy we did! We were greeted by the sweetest dog and were up to our room within a few minutes. Our room was super spacious and very, VERY clean. The staff here is very helpful and just want you to enjoy your stay. They're not cleaning rooms due to Covid.. BUT, rest assure anything you need is just a phone call away. We got new towels and an extra blanket within minutes. The pool is super clean and lots of room. We're going to head back for another weekend if we can this Summer if not.. We're staying a week next year in a cottage!

My family has been coming to the mainsail for 25+ years. We took the last 2 years off and came back…read morethis year with the new ownership. We were disgusted in the conditions. We stayed in one of the cottages for a week.Completely filthy. Stick on earrings, hair, and hair ties in the pullout couch. The floors left feet/ socks black within seconds of walking around. Bathroom smelt and looked like a sani can. Despite the conditions we cleaned and we tried to carry on. The worst part was ERIKA at the front desk. ONE MISERABLE HUMAN who should not be involved in any sort of customer service. She should get a job where she doesn't have to interact with people. The second day went to the office to mention we have 7 guests and only received 4 towels. Her response was immediately defensive and said we only get one towel per person for the week. I said ok did not know that was one of the new rules so going forward we will each ONLY have one towel. But we only had 4. I said we are not trying to take your towels. She flipped out and tried to ask us to leave and then had the nerve to say "this is how you act in front of your kids?!" All I asked for was towels. Did not curse, did not raise my voice. I left the office and never returned the rest of the vacation. Spoke to the management company and sounds like she has been a problem. Yet still works there and represents the Mainsail. She was rude, disrespectful, and creeped us out when she mentioned she could "look at The cameras to see how many towels we had" Also there is a laminated cottage rules sign in the cottage that states you leave your soiled towels out on the deck and they will be replaced. It's very said how the conditions went so downhill and the front desk ERIKA was so horrible. After going to the mainsail as a kid and now brining my own kids there we now will never return. One last thing! We left to go to Maine for the day and she gave our parking spot away! Luckily our other family left early because of the conditions and we parked in their spot. Didn't dare enter the office again!

This is a terrific little motel, and I would definitely stay here again. The staff is very friendly…read moreand very helpful. (Hi Luka!) I arrived early, and since my room was ready, I was allowed to check in early, The pool was very clean, as clean as I have ever seen any pool. The water temperature was just right. It's a good-size pool, not huge, but just great for a leisurely swim. The rooms are very clean and very spacious. There is plenty of storage. The coffee maker was simple enough to operate. TIP: you need both remotes in order to use the TV. The front desk will help you. It's a block from the beach, which is perfect. It's close enough to walk to where the action is, and far enough so that it's nice and quiet at night. The rates are reasonable, and I would not hesitate to stay here again. I recommend SURF HOUSE without hesitation. A+

BUYER BEWARE-READ BEFORE BOOKING and learn from our experience:…read moreI'm not gonna sit here and write to not stay at this motel - the room itself was just as advertised, clean, roomy and comfortable, updated bathroom (shower wasn't cleaned well, but that's minor in comparison to the rest of our experience) BUT- do not expect to have any assistance after their lobby closes. They advertise an "after hours number" they DO NOT answer. We stayed here for one night and went out on the strip until around 10pm and when we returned we realized we forgot our key in the room. We went to the front desk which was locked and dark. To preface this I completely understand it's on us for forgetting a key. But, no answer on any of the 3 phone lines provided and one was specifically for "guests only, after hours" after a couple hours, MANY calls and voicemails later, we decided to call the non emergent police line which we were told they were unable to help without permission from the owner - they also tried calling the number they had with no answer either and we were advised to either sleep in our car or book another hotel. We called all 4 businesses they have shown on their building assuming they're owned by the same people, no one was able to help there either. We ended up able to unlock our vehicle from our phone and sleep in it (we had no actual keys as they were locked in the room too) we continued to call the after hours line throughout the night and into the morning but we ended up locked out of our room from 10:30pm to 8am when the front desk opened. The front desk manager (I'm blanking on her name) was lovely, super friendly and apologetic but explained someone else named "dalton" was responsible for the after hours phone and clearly completely neglected to answer. She refunded the cost of our room which was great and gave us a couple gift cards to local restaurants ($35 worth), but really it didn't take away the fact that we had the worst experience in a hotel ever, we would've much preferred to just be able to sleep in the room. Again, decent motel, absolutely awful customer service, if you stay please triple check you have your keys when leaving/you have everything you need before they close.

I rented the only room with a full kitchenette and it was so spacious and perfect for the hub of my family. It is on the first floor and was so clean. It had all the amenities you would expect with a kitchenette. Fully stocked kitchen! The bed was super comfortable. My family and I would especially like to thank the owner, Terry. With such a large (loud) group we were a bit loud(lol) and he was so gracious and polite telling us to quiet down!! Thanks again to the entire staff!! We had such a great weekend!!!

Must have been a drug party going on by the last occupant? The bed was made when I checked in, but how can housekeeping miss the drugs in the bedside table AND inside the bathroom?? Also, the dark, woodgrain laminate floor was disgustingly DIRTY! My guess is they just sweep only, and hardly if ever, actually wash the floor. I asked the front office if they could do a quick wash of the floor, but they never showed up. Don't make the mistake of walking barefoot on the floor with wet feet, and if you are wearing socks, the bottom of them will turn black quickly. The cold water knob in the shower was frozen shut, and it couldn't turn, only leaving the hot water knob usable, making the shower unusable onless you like scalding water. I asked the front desk if someone could look at it, but nobody showed up. Also, don't try sitting in their cheap plastic patio chairs outside the room, unless you have good health insurance. I really want to like this place, but find it difficult at the present time. 8/23/25
