    Best condo on the west end of the beach. By far. One of the newest and it has great amenities. Get an end unit (10's or 50's).

    We were not solicited or paid for this review…read more.. We've rented from Surfside Properties going on nine years now. Have you ever run into one of those to-good-to-be-true businesses? You know, the kind where you want to just keep the discovery to yourself so no one else can find out....well that describes Surfside Properties to a tee! When we discovered them in 2018, we were trying to escape those raw, biting, icy cold, gray drizzly, never-see-the-sun-for-weeks-on-end upper Midwest winters. We were than and continue to be pleasantly surprised when we found Surfside Properties. We have rented three different properties on Pensacola Beach from them and have never been disappointed. The spectrum of outstanding properties can easily suit any of our needs. The whole Surfside experience, from their intuitive content rich web site, to the concierge class help from Lori and Sam...we've never been disappointed! We have access to thoughtfully furnished immaculately clean first class properties across the best locations on the beach. We always eagerly look forward to our return allowing us to enjoy peaceful, sun filled warm walks along the pristine, uncrowded white sand of Pensacola Beach January through April in our Surfside Side Properties enabled rejuvenating escape!

This particular year, I had a reservation with them, and my 17-year old daughter was hospitalized a few days prior to my check in (UNEXPECTANTLY). I notified them and made them aware of the situation and that her doctors did not authorize her for travel upon her release from the hospital. Stephanie said, well, that's too bad, you should have gotten trip insurance because we cannot refund your payment or push your reservation to another time. SO, if you are considering EVER using this company, know that they will NOT give you a refund of 100%....it will be 50%, doesn't even matter if it is for a DEATH in your family. They just do not care why OR about you. So, do not book with this company unless, a.) you get trip insurance OR b.) you have so much money that you don't care that you lose thousands of dollars. Note: At no point during the booking process was travel insurance mentioned, offered, or recommended--something that could have made a significant difference in how this was handled. Only after I requested a change due to my daughter's hospitalization was insurance brought up, which felt reactionary rather than proactive.

    Don't book with them, they will let you book and then call and say, you have to stay longer or…read morechange your days. Total BS.

    Ended up spending a very cold and windy night here, so some of the amenities weren't really worth…read moreit, but I can tell you that it's a place that I would definitely want to come back to. 1. Service - everyone from check in to check out was so professional and courteous that they made me feel right at home. 2. Amenities - right on the beach, swimming, lazy river, hot tubs, all great! (But, again, it was too cold to enjoy much but the hot tub. Still worth it.) 3. The room - clean and comfortable with a balcony overlooking the Gulf. Plus, after a week on a cruise ship, it felt like the biggest room in the world! (It was standard hotel size for two queens, but still felt ginormous.) 4. Great bathroom and supplies. My only real drawback was the water pressure. On the 7th floor, the shower took quite a bit longer than usual to get all the shampoo out. 5. Location - not only on the beach, but within walking distance to great restaurants, bars, and fun. Loved it all around. I love Pensacola Beach, and this definitely gives you the vibe they're going for.

    I agree with what one user wrote about the decor being confusing. It's hard to out your finger on…read moreit. They do have a handicap ramp going to the beach and it's about 165 steps to the water for anyone who is interested. I knew we were going to have to pay parking it was 15/night. But I was not expecting to have to lay to access the damn pool... Another $20 for a wristband. You get access to nearby hotels pools though too I think. They give you a card at check-in with a QR code that has info and hours about the property, a slightly outdated Riptide restaurant menu and some info on nearby restaurants. The elevators are fast! We stayed in room 722 by the elevator it has a roll in shower and lots of space. They did not have room service. They have a Continental breakfast in the restaurant.

Southern Vacation rentals left us without a place to stay. They could care less that if I hadn't checked we would have taken bed bugs home. I'm still having nightmare!!! All our blankets and beach bags were trashed. We had to pay for a hotel that night. The only solution almost 24 hours later after numerous calls to them was either a refund or put us in a much less rental than we booked months ago. It looked shady! They could have cared less we were 14 hours from home Without a place to stay. We ended up staying in a hotel paying way more for last minute hotel rental.

The young woman…read morechecking us in clearly didn't want to be there and clearly didn't want to give the same welcome speech she had given many times before. She was blazing through whatever she said quietly and at about the same speed as the side effects warning on a TV commercial for prescription meds. I asked her to slow down because my hearing isn't great and she was talking way too fast. She , literally, rolled her eyes and continued to the end of her speech at which time I had a room key and a pink square of paper with numbers on it that I had no idea was for. Not a great first impression. Fortunately this was a one off experience and the remainder of our stay was perfect. The resort is beautiful. The pool area was great. Our room was generously sized and very well appointed. (I still recommend all nice hotels stop buying those packets for the coffee maker with powdered creamer and that horrible pink stuff for sweetener. You're better than that.) The staff, no matter who or where we bumped into them, was friendly, engaging, and helpful. Housekeeping, maintenance, lobby, bars, food service. 100% awesome. The food and drinks in the lobby bar were amazing. We ate there several times because we couldn't think of a good reason to go anywhere else and fight the crowds and traffic for lesser food. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay again.

Literally, 10 seconds after calling the front desk to complain, it was turned off. That wasn't even time for security to come up. So how did the person know to turn it off? Was there a camera in my room? Was the phone bugged??? The second incident happened at exactly 6am the next morning when an alarm started going off in my room. Someone had set an alarm on the clock and the cleaning staff never bothered to turn it off. Then, 5 minutes later, the room next door had their alarm go off and it was so loud I could hear it through the wall. I had to listen to that for 30 minutes as the people next door who had been partying and drinking were passed out asleep. Then the gentleman in the room to my right sat on his patio the entire time smoking weed. The front desk absolutely refused to give a discount. I think the ownership here is very cheap and stingy. When it came to the room, we had no robes. The balcony door was completely missing a lock. Also, the patio doors are incredibly heavy and slam shut so you will be listening to that the entire stay. Same thing for the front doors. Lastly, the floor was uneven which would be very easy to twist your foot if you stepped on that spot incorrectly as it slopes down. I found everyone at the front desk to be incompetent, annoying, and off putting with the exception of curly haired Bella (the pretty one). We spent a lot of money and I think it was a total rip off! Perhaps it's a different story if you are able to get a suite. We were in a crummy room facing the gulf.
