The location is amazing. Walk 3 minutes and you are on the beach. Very friendly staff and nice free amenities like renting bikes. Also very comfortable bed and magic pillows. I slept better than I had in a long time. Only little downside is that there was already a lot of sand in my room when I checked in, but probably to be expected with the location.

“Clean rooms, comfortable stay, great location and welcoming staff.”
The property is very well positioned and located on the water. They have a lot of equipment you can rent for free (bikes, paddle boards etc) and they are in the bay where you can just use them near the pool and their own small Patch of beach. The room was clean and comfortable although the aircond is big and loud. Staff were very warm and friendly and welcoming. Thank you Sandy.

We had a nice stay! Walking distance from the beach and not even a minute away from the "private bay" where you can rent paddle boards or kayaks for free!

Great hotel in the centre of Pensacola Beach. Walking distance from all the restaurants and bars, as well as the beach and fishing pier. The lady helping on breakfast, was wonderful. Lovely small pool and beach at the back of the hotel.
