The Surf Shack

Great location to beach and restaurants. Interior space small but well appointed. Outdoor deck space is great.

Had a great time! Can't beat the location, quiet neighborhood. Cozy, comfy and loved the beach shower on the deck, easy access to laundry. An excellent beach getaway for a family up to 4. We'd stay again!

Great little place

The place was amazing.

This little house is just as described - it is small! It could be difficult for some to get up to the loft area. Our son is 24 yrs old and 6' tall, the spiral stairs were manageable for him, but a little awkward. That being said, he slept in the loft area - found it very comfortable and enjoyed having his own space. The master bedroom was super comfortable. The place was clean and the AC kept it nice and cool! The wi-fi was spotty at best, but it didn't bother us. This house was perfect for us - we planned to be on the beach or out-and-about every day, so the size of the unit wasn't a priority to us. The location is amazing - we saw fireworks and the Blue Angels from the deck. Beach access couldn't be easier and an easy walk to restaurants and the trolley stop. We enjoyed every second and would definitely stay here again! Thank you!!!

We really enjoyed the property, it was very nicely decorated and super cute. Perfect distance to the beach!! It was the perfect size for our family of 5 and we really enjoyed the double decks- it provided so much more space. Laundry was also a plus to have. We prefer a bit more privacy on our vacations and we had just that!

Nice shack. Nothing fancy. Very small kitchen with limited counter space. No curtain on kitchen window so if anyone is staying at the hotel next door they can see you from their balcony. Also this makes the kitchen quite warm with sun hitting it. Great bed and art work. Loved the top deck except the outdoor lights on the side of the top deck did not function. Didnt use the upstairs loft. Stairs were too narrow and a bit dangerous to traverse. I hit my head on the metal stairs one time when trying to access the thermostat. Ouch! Loved that it was a short walk to the beach and that there was an outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand. Although it is pet friendly there is no place for the doggos to do their business due to so many sand burs! I think the property could use some lawn maintenance. The local fauna was overtaken by weeds and sand spurs. We still had fun. Clearest water, white sugary sand. So many jelly fish near shore though. We saw dolphins from the beach. We went to the dog beach and water was pristine and beautiful and only spotted one jelly fish.

Perfect place for our family of four. Our boys loved the upstairs portion of the Surf Shack. The beach is right across the street. Take the sidewalk in between the two houses on the other side of the road or the beach access by the hotel right across the street. Walk to the convenience store if you need something. Good restaurants right across the street. The upstairs deck has a great view and the downstairs deck provided some shade. Air conditioning was nice and cool. Wifi was great. Will definitely book again.

My family loved this place! It was so nice to just walk across the street to the beach.

Perfect for a couple or small family (child needs to be old enough to climb the narrow spiral staircase) - our teenage daughter didn't want to leave the loft. Great communication with management company through text. (We had a minor maintenance issue that was corrected very quickly while we were at the beach.) Great location - can see the beach and hear the waves at night. (Can see both bay and ocean from the little loft). It is just past the last hotel so the crowds thin out on the beach right at the house, but it's still a short walk to restaurants, bars, gift shops and convenience stores. We loved our time there and would return.

This was the perfect property for my husband and I, our two kids (11 and 13), and our small pup. You’re within walking distance of the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk and across the street from the beautiful beach (note: not one of the two dog beaches) as well as small cafes and shops. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again at this property as well as book with Vrbo/ Gulf Coast Getaways.

Location was amazing! Water views from all vantage points. Perfect size house and decorated tastefully. Second story deck made for amazing mornings and easy star gazing at night.

Perfect getaway. Best location. Just right. Will. Be. Back.

Clean, comfortable, cozy, and relaxing getaway! Recommend for One Couple only! Narrow spiral staircase to loft area is best for use by responsible teenagers (do not recommend for small kids-fall hazard). Extra keys are in the laundry room. Nice deck to look out over the beach & gulf and even have a glimpse of the bay looking towards the north. Good place to enjoy morning coffee and evening cocktails. The best access to the beach is two houses west as it has a walkable mat which is great for wheel carts. Enjoy Your Stay!!!

Very comfortable. Great location.

The loft is very cute, my two kids loved it. The master room has good privacy. Great location for the beach and the stores and restaurants. Kitchen and dinning area are very small, though the griller with covered patio solved some of the space constraints for cooking and dining. The refrigerator in the kitchen needs to be replaced, it makes constant noise to cool down because the door seems not sealed well.

Super cozy place for a week away! It was an ease booking and through the process. Had an issue with the outside TV not working which was promptly addressed by the property manager the next day. The location is great!

Inside house is very clean

We had a great time! House is perfect for a family vacation - our son loved his room on the top floor. So great to wake up and see the ocean! Location is perfect as you can walk 1 minute to the beach and 5-15 minutes to various restaurants and cafes.
