For the price, I would recommend and stay here again. Our room was clean and had what we needed. Nothing more. This is most definitely a bare minimum hotel. But the convenience of the location, the free bike, kayak and paddle boards…it’s worth it. Breakfast was a bit chaotic. But something for everyone. I think our favorite part was the sandy vintage beach hotel feel. We would take that any day over a fancy overpriced stay. Thanks Surf and Sand! We hope to be back soon

Great spot, priced right & very comfy. Located close to the beach & the boardwalk. All kinds of dining & shopping options within walking distance of the hotel. Room was very clean & well decorated. Bed was very comfortable. Have stayed here before & it's my favorite place to stay when at Pensacola Beach.

The property was probably built in the 60’s, and does not appear to have ever been updated. The photos of the property were very misleading. The pool and beach area on the bay were not nice. The drain in the shower was backing up, and it took 2 flushes of the commode for a full flush. Bedroom floor filthy, and window unit air conditioners badly rusted over entire facility.. Paint on breezeway floors chipping, and rust everywhere. I did not feel comfortable using the ice machine as it was so rusted. The coffee in the continental breakfast area was luke warm at best. Had to heat in microwave in the room. Soaps in the containers on wall on the sink and shower were empty. The TV was an RCA. When was the last time RCA made a TV? Bad picture and sound. Fortunately spent most of my time away from the facility. Would not recommend, and I feel I was misled. Did not see parking fees when I reserved.

Staff is excellent year after year. The room had some kind of air filter system that was really dirty and gross. Pillows are very flat and uncomfortable. Take your own pillows! Bathroom door needed paint badly. Overall still a good place to stay. They charge $10.00 per day to park in addition to the price of your room. I dont agree with that.
