Surf & Sand Hotel Pensacola Beach, FL

Pros: good location near the beach and restaurants. Comes with kayak, bikes and breakfast. Staff super nice and welcoming. Felt safe. Bedroom have wood floors. Pet friendly, $100 for $3 nights per pet up to two pets. Parking was $10 a night. Cons: Rooms smelled musty, mold in the sink caulk. Mold in the conditioner bottle.

Great place to stay! We liked the location to everything. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. The bikes and other amenities are a great perk, too. This place has character the newer hotels lack. If you are dog people they are welcome too. We are excited to stay here again in the future.

Positive: Location, offseason price, amenities. Negative: My comforter had what appeared to be a blood stain on it. About an inch big. Comforter smelled like bleach so I know they washed it, but it was unnerving. Literally the only bad thing that happened though.

Great location on Pensacola Beach and backed up on the Bay. Lots of restaurants and shops are nearby, and much is in walking distance. Our room is comfortable and nicely furnished in a beach theme. Breakfast is included in the lobby each morning. Bikes, paddleboards and kayaks are free to use, but you need to sign up early in the office before they're all taken. We had to call the office about 2 small issues and staff arrived quickly and they were resolved immediately. All of the staff we've interacted with have been friendly and helpful. I would have no hesitation about highly recommending this hotel.

Friendly Staff and Good Breakfast, but Rooms are Tight. Pet Friendly!! Stayed: July 2025 We had a pleasant stay at the Surf & Sand Hotel. The highlight of our visit was definitely the staff, especially Lonny on the maintenance team. He was incredibly friendly, fun to chat with, and full of great local knowledge—it really made our day! The complimentary breakfast was also consistently good every morning, which was a great way to start the day. The one major drawback we encountered was the size of the rooms. Traveling with two adults and two children, the room felt quite small and cramped for our family. If you are a smaller party, or prioritize friendly service and a good breakfast over spacious accommodations, this is a solid choice!
