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!

To get down to the beach couldn't have been easier, down to ground level in elevators, stop by car and grab beach chairs because it's right there at the exit to the beach we didn't have to drag our chairs up and down from the condo. Pretty much had the beach to ourselves.

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.

The kitchen setup was probably one of my favorite parts--plenty of room for everyone to cook, snack, gather around and do what we do best... eat and hang out. The pool was WONDERFUL and the elevator was an absolute lifesaver when it came to hauling all of our groceries and stuff upstairs! And the views!! Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets right from the balcony, and when you're ready for the beach, the beautiful Gulf is literally just steps away. There was plenty of space for everyone without ever feeling crowded, and we made some pretty great memories here this weekend. We would absolutely stay at Viviana 8 again!

The property is clean but not impressive. The lobby restaurant is REALLY not worth your time. If H. & R. Block opened a restaurant, this would be the place!

They'll get in the elevator and regardless of how many people are already on board, they'll push right past you and take charge of YOUR ride down to the lobby! I was most upset when I found out that was a MARRIOTT right next door and I could have used the points.

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.

The parking permit and passcode is a nightmare. I still have not received confirmation of being permitted. Three different entities controlling codes for you to enter. Gate code, Parking permit and code and Unit access. The HOA and Management company was unavailable of course over the weekend 5 days into my stay I received a call .

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.

Disclaimer: Hilton Diamond member I needed to recharge and…read morespend some time in the ocean with my toes in the sand. This is my third visit to Pensacola and I think I'm falling in love. The beaches are absolutely beautiful, so much sunshine, and an over abundance of the freshest seafood anywhere. When I visit, I prefer to be as close to the ocean as possible. Hampton Inn fit the bill. The lobby is warm bright and welcoming. Every front desk team member is hospitable and helpful. The common areas are comfortable and cozy. The outdoor patio is perfect for breakfast or a rally point for meeting up throughout the day. The hotel offers a substantial complimentary breakfast every morning. The menu changes daily but the DIY waffle station is always available. The coffee bar is open 24/7. We had a room on the first floor overlooking the pool. The room is large with high ceilings. We had two queen beds and a small loveseat. I must note, this was one of the most comfortable Hilton beds I've ever slept in. Usually the pillows are not comfortable, but I slept well every night and every afternoon for a midday siesta. In room amenities included a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and a cupboard with shelving to keep snacks and supplies organized. There's a small closet too small to be of much use. The bathroom is clean with a tub and shower. They offer the standard Hilton linens which were clean and comfortable. The bathroom has plenty of hooks for towels. There's also wall hooks in the room for towels etc. It is nice to be able to keep things tidy and have dry bathing suits. The BEST feature of this hotel is the pool access. The hotel offers two smaller pools. The deck contains a few loungers, chairs, and umbrellas. I recommend upgrading your stay and opting for the VIP access bracelet. This is an additional $20 per person for your entire stay. Kids 12 and under are free. This will give you access to the pools at: Fairfield Pensacola Beach, Holiday Inn Resort, Hilton Pensacola Beach, and Surf and Sand Hotel. The pass also includes bike, paddle board, and kayak usage at Surf and Sand. The pool not your thing? My favorite pool is the Fairfield pool. You'll have to check it out for yourself. The hotel has direct beach access. There are showers for rinsing off all the sand and salt water acquired during the day. There is a rental company for chair and umbrella day rentals. They will set up and tear down everything at the end of the day. I found the prices to be fairly reasonable. I highly recommend this hotel for families. This has all the amenities you need when traveling with children. My children are much older, but this would have been an ideal place when they were small. I did use the laundry facilities during our stay. I have made a point of not lugging dirty laundry back home with me. We also made use of the fitness center. This was a great place and made for a wonderful vacation.

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.
