Surfside Inn

The Resort & Setting

Surfside Inn is an independent timeshare property affiliated with RCI, located in Ocean Park on Washington's Long Beach Peninsula. Being RCI-affiliated means owners aren't limited to using their week at the resort itself — they can also deposit it into the RCI exchange network and trade for stays at other affiliated properties elsewhere. For an independent resort without a major hotel brand attached, that exchange link is often the main practical draw for buyers.

Ocean Park & the Long Beach Peninsula

Ocean Park sits right on the Pacific coastline, with the beach itself about a third of a mile from the resort — close enough for an early morning walk or sunrise photos before breakfast. The wider peninsula is known for beachcombing, tide pools, lighthouses and migrating whales rather than nightlife, which suits owners looking for a slower-paced coastal week. The rest of the Long Beach Peninsula links together small towns, wildlife refuges and some of the best whale-watching spots on this stretch of coast. Cape Disappointment State Park, around 11 miles south, adds historic lighthouses and rugged headland trails for a day trip. It's the kind of area where a car is genuinely useful, since the attractions are spread along the peninsula rather than clustered in one centre.

Selling or Renting Out a Week Here

If you own a week at Surfside Inn and are thinking of selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get the ad live.

Because Surfside Inn is an independent resort, resale isn't handled through a big-brand points system — it typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before you agree on a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these aren't published figures and can change from year to year. A resale buyer at an independent resort like this would normally expect to take over the underlying week (or points, if applicable) and ongoing maintenance fee obligations, but not any loyalty perks or promotions tied specifically to the original owner — again, confirm this with the resort's association before closing a deal.

If you're renting rather than selling, be upfront in your listing about which week or season you hold, whether RCI exchange rights are included or usable by a renter, and what the maintenance fees cover, since serious renters will ask.

What Buyers and Renters Look For

Buyers researching Ocean Park timeshares are typically after a straightforward beach base rather than a resort full of on-site activities — proximity to the sand, a manageable drive to the rest of the peninsula, and (for owners who like to travel further afield) the ability to exchange the week through RCI. Renters tend to ask the same practical questions: which weeks are available, how close the unit is to the beach, and whether the maintenance fee is already included in the rental price.

Practical Notes

Ocean Park is a small coastal community, so don't expect big-city amenities — the appeal here is the beach, the tide pools and the slower pace. Anyone buying a week should confirm directly with Surfside Inn's management or owners' association the transfer process, current transfer fee, and the latest annual maintenance fee before finalising a purchase, since these details sit with the resort rather than the resale marketplace.
