The rooms were clean and all of the pictures online are accurate to what it looks like in person. The free paddle board rentals were amazing. The beach was right across the street and many restaurants and shops were within walking distance. I’d stay here again.
We had a great stay at Surf and Sand Hotel! The staff especially the breakfast staff was very friendly and accommodating. The property and the room was maintained and very clean. This is the second time that we have stayed here and we will continue to stay on this property as we have had great experiences both times. We highly recommend this hotel!

Staff was friendly and welcoming. Room was clean and location was great.
As advertised, has some character to it- enjoyed it over a run of the mill chain hotel stay. The small private beach area was perfect to take the kids to without having to leave the property. Fire pit & pool area were nice. Can’t beat the location & price. Will return.
Staff was ver accommodating and courteous. Very pet friendly

Surf and Sand outs a decent property. Friendly staff and hot, standard continental breakfast. The property offers a nice pool and fire pit hangout spot, access to the bay, an assortment of free paddle boards and kayaks. The property is pet-friendly so avoid if you have allergies.
The staff was very helpful and the room was beautiful and clean. Breakfast was delicious, we especially loved that there was a little variety in what was served. Great location as we could walk to the beach in about 5 min!!
Great room, hotel amenities, WONDEFUL breakfast attendant and breakfast selection! Our location on first floor in the back facing the pool was the best. Can go bike riding just about anywhere, paddle boards, kayaks, and so much more. Great location, you can walk anywhere. Best hotel on Pensacola Beach! Did I mention they are dog friendly? Couldn't be a better hotel selection for me. I can't wait to come back!
Rooms were clean! Fun activities at the private beach and pool looked fun, but didnt feel heated so we didnt swim. Breakfast was good, but the breakfast attendant made it a 100/10 even if options were limited! It was a great trip and great hotel for the price! We normally stay at Pensacola Beach Resort, but will be staying here from now on.
Its also walking distance to the boardwalk, most restaurants, and literally right across the street from the pier and the beach. Can see the gulf from the hotel.
Elizabeth in the breakfast area. Friendly & fast working. She greeted everyone, asked if they wanted waffles, told them where other breakfast items were & then wished everyone a great day or safe trip jome when they left. Absolutely a super star employee!!!
