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!

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.

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.
