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!

I'd like to start out by stating that I am a regular guy and I don't normally write online reviews…read more I am a moderate traveler who comes to Perdido key once a year. I understand that the condominiums are privately owned, so each will be differently furnished, and the individual experience will depend on which Condo you choose. I've had great condos here in the past for fair prices, but Condo d33 has been a terrible experience. The layout and furnishings are sub par, the appliances and furniture are cheap and not in working condition, and these problems have put a damper on our trip. The first problem we ran into is the quality of the furniture. Although the beds are very comfortable, the couch and chairs look like they'd be at a rummage sold for 10$. The cushions are thin and the wicker on the tables and chairs are peeling and need to be replaced. The lights in both bedrooms do not work, making it very difficult to navigate the rooms at night. The screen door is badly ripped, so we taped over it. In the guest bedroom the television is in the corner facing an angle where nobody can view it from the bed. The third day we walked in from the beach and there was soap all over the floor, the dishwasher had leaked soap and water all over the kitchen floor, and there were no mops or cleaning tools to clean it up.

BED Bugs in 806!!!! We had a terrible experience with Southern Vacation Rentals as well. The condo…read moreappeared clean until bed checks. 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.

We have stayed at Emerald Isle twice. I believe the first time was in unit 604 and it was great…read more The second time was in unit 1201 and it was through a rental agency called Southern Vacation Rentals. We were severely disappointed in 1201 because of Southern Vacation Rentals. We stayed here May of 2025. The review I left on their website, which they did not post, reads as follows: The advertisement of this property was misleading. There was a disclaimer on the booking page about construction and repairs going on at Emerald Isle, but it was unknown the unit we booked would be directly affected. This was not made known to us until the day of arrival via the texting platform. There was no mention of it in any prior emails when booking or notice of check in. Our balcony was completely unusable during the day Monday through Saturday 8am-5pm. Workers blocked our ability to go out on the balcony because they would put a wood stick in the door to jam it from the outside. The balcony railing (which is glass) was tarped off with a material you could not see through. There was no view of the beach when sitting in the chairs on the balcony for the entire duration of our stay. The only way to see the beach was to be standing by the railing itself. Furthermore, I was getting changed into my bathing suit when the workers made it up to our unit on the scaffolding and I had to duck because I was naked. There was no privacy in the master bedroom or main living area. In the master, I could close the curtains for privacy, but again that blocked any view of the ocean/beach that we had. There was no way to create privacy when in the living room because workers were right outside the windows and balcony that could not be closed off. Southern Vacation Rentals did nothing to make our trip more pleasant due to the poor disclosure and disruptions. It is sad we were not made aware, and Southern chose to do nothing to make it right. I would recommend others not stay here until repairs are done or until the booking person is aware of what they truly are getting. Southern acted slyly and unconcerned with the quality of our stay.

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.

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.

Because the beach is right out the doors, we spent most of our time there, and it was a great time of year because there was almost no one on it. We pretty much had it to ourselves. Highly recommend!

*Review from stay 4/23/25 - 4/27/25*…read more We had a really nice stay at Emerald Dolphin! The location is great because you're close to the restaurants and shopping without being right in the action. We had an awesome view of the beach and the pool area from our 5th floor balcony. Though we didn't go down, it seemed like a really nice and clean area. I did see a staff member go and reset the chairs in the area and clean every morning before 8 AM when it opened. I like that when you stay here you get access to both the pool and fitness center. Our unit was pretty clean. There were a few things we didn't love but that's more about the property management company that maintained our rental than it was the actual condo itself. The only downside (though it didn't bother us) is that this is supposed to be a more secure property with a gated parking lot. The gate wasn't working and stayed wide open throughout our entire stay. It's very easy for anyone to just walk off the street and come up to your floor. There are no security measures in place, so if that's really important to you then definitely keep this in mind. Otherwise, the property was great and I would absolutely stay here again!

We stayed on the tenth floor back in 2016, and it was a FIVE STAR experience to say the least. This time we stayed in 620, and let me tell you, that if we could give NEGATIVE FIVE STARS (-5), we absolutely Would! Our experience was Terrible starting the minute we arrived inside the apartment. 1. The walk in closet between our bedroom & the bathroom reeked with the smell of urine which was a definite indication that the place had Not been cleaned at all. I use to work in hotels, & it smelled as though some drunk fool had relieved himself Right there! Oh wait, this was just the beginning of our horrible stay in Emerald Dolphin 620! We sacrificed & saved all year for this?!? I'm writing this in hopes that no one else has to experience this dump. 2. Second of All. the pictures were not accurate. This is not the updated look. It's extremely disappointing when some owners will deliberately mislead future vacationers to get their money at any &all costs. 3. They didn't bother to clean the Unit at all! We immediately brought this to the owners attention, only to have them make us empty promises that they would grant us a FULL REFUND because of the condition of the Unit was such sub par! They lied to us & began ignoring our emails. My precious family & I sacrificed all year long saving up, working overtime & everything looking forward to the previous experience years ago on the tenth floor! We dropped THREE GRAND $3,000.00 on this disappointing dump. 4. When it was time to go to bed, we felt several sand granules all in the bed only to confirm they hadn't even changed the sheets from the previous guests. And NO we had not been to the sand yet... 5. One of the twin beds were completely broken and in a closet. The King mattress was so worn out my wife had to go to the chiropractor. We were told that the maintenance man would need in the unit on Wednesday, & they would compensate us for our time. We rearranged our day and cancelled a trip to Destin for this because he was an hour and a half late. After all of this, he never even put the bed back together. I have been praying for over a year that God would allow me to take my Wife to see the ocean at least one more time, so He granted that desire. We chose this place assuming it would be stellar simply because we stayed at the Emerald Dolphin before, & the reviews were great. Needless to say this Unit (Not Emerald Dolphin) was extremely Misrepresented & We're requesting a Full Refund. We stayed from June 19-26.
