Guest Reviews

jennifersY5503ZB (10/5): This was so peaceful and quiet. Absolutely beautiful. Rooms were clean, bathrooms were a little small .Staff amazing. - Peaceful quiet and beautiful stay!! Will definitely stay again.
markmT2985WE (2/5): SPEND YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE. - The two unfriendly, unpleasant, unprofessional young girls we encountered at the front desk guaranteed we did not book a planned week here. Sorry management - $3000 down the tubes.
V7941RGdianen (10/5): A True Pearl - This was our fifth year staying at The Pearl, and we’ve already reserved our room for next year. The place is always clean and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Having stayed in several different hotels at different beaches, this is our favorite because of the private beach and the quiet surrounding.
N4883PTad (10/5): 5-Star Review: A Coastal Paradise for True R&R - If you are looking for the ultimate escape to recharge, look no further. This beachfront inn is a hidden gem that delivers on every promise of a perfect vacation. Highlights of the Stay Unbeatable Location: The beach is literally steps away from your door. There is nothing quite like waking up to the sound of the waves and being on the sand in seconds. Immaculate Accommodations: The rooms are sparkling clean and impressively well-maintained. The kitchen area is a standout, fully stocked with every utensil and appliance you could possibly need to feel right at home. Stress-Free Beach Days: One of the best perks is that they provide all your beach needs. You don't have to worry about packing heavy gear; they’ve thought of everything. World-Class Service: The staff here truly makes the experience. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and go out of their way to be helpful with any request. The Verdict This is the premier destination for anyone seeking true R&R. The combination of the pristine rooms, the convenience of the amenities, and the hospitality of the team creates a seamless experience. "I promise you will not be disappointed. This is the place for you!" Aracely
V9823ZVwilliama (10/5): South Florida Gem - This was our second stay at The Pearl Beach Inn, and it didn’t disappoint. It was another wonderful weekend getaway. The property is immaculate, and the staff is warm and inviting. The beach is such a gem! Clear water, no rocks or boulders to climb over, quiet and relaxing…almost like your own private beach. Thank you Pearl Beach Inn!! We’ll be back!!
boehmem (10/5): Lovely - Pearl Beach Inn is a lovely place on the beach. I wish we could have stayed longer. The location was great for exploring the Venice area. We biked the Legacy Trail, shopped historical Venice, ate at some fun restaurants and walked for miles along the beach.Our room was a sweet haven in between the activities.
Q9270CCjohnh (10/5): Nice little secrete! - Beautiful location, polite staff, room was immaculate , you pay for what you get !
Loves2BOnTheGo (10/5): Peace, peace and more PEACE! - Small, quiet, quaint, private beachfront inn with immaculately clean rooms, amenities that cover everything you will need, beautiful views and landscaping. Much care is taken in making this a gem of a place to stay. Though there is much to do in close range, if you are looking for a party, touristy atmosphere, don’t bother. But if you are looking for quiet beach walks, morning coffee on the sunset deck to watch the sunrise or your favorite cocktail to watch the sunset, this is your place! This is your 10! Unwind and enjoy!
Stay784555 (10/5): Pure relaxation - A beautiful small beachfront vacation. Nothing to do but enjoy the ambiance. If resort style lodging is your preferred vacation, this isn't the place. No pool, no activity, no nearby anything. Just beach . Not cheap but worth the cost.
Crouton2512 (10/5): Wonderful Place! - Everything about The Pearl was great! We lived our visit and did not want to leave. The room, the staff, the beach, the overall location...it was all wonderful. Anyone looking to visit the area, please consider The Pearl Beach Inn. You won't regret it.
robertaa179 (10/5): One with nature - Always a great stay - been going to The Pearl since 2000 - may not be fancy but definitely a piece of paradise.
lynnmI6844RO (10/5): Our favorite place - If you want modern and a swimming pool this is not your place. If you want quiet and a not crowded beach just steps from your door. This is your place. It is clean, quiet and the staff are very nice.
lillyj913 (10/5): most amazing little Inn - I love the pearl! Their posts on tik tok and facebook are what made me book our stay!! Im so happy I chose to stay here. From the second we stepped onto the property we felt so welcomed! we stayed in room 6 and i just cant belive how close it is to the water. waking up and getting to look out at that view was amazing. we probaly found close to 500 sharks teeth and sooooo many shells. of course there was some seaweed but that is to be expected as it is nature and it changes everyday. I cant wait for the next time we visit!
245bronsons (10/5): Great place - Was an amazing place to stay with a beautiful view of a private beach right from your room. The girls at the front desk were very nice and the owner of the place even came to help us with our bags. Will be staying here again!
Navigator750645 (2/5): Beautiful nature. Terrible management. - The Accomodation is going for an Old Florida vibe. Unfortunately, the family running the resort has much to learn about business practices and hospitality. It could be outstanding but having their young daughters in charge of publicity and marketing is not the way to win over other travel industry professionals. Their rude, interrogative, fear-based assumptions were unacceptable and made an easy decision to take my talent elsewhere. The room is small and okay with a beautiful ocean view but there is nothing sending it into a stellar stay. Do yourself a favor and hire a professional publicist and marketing manager instead of using your young daughters limited social media knowledge. Good luck in your future endeavors.
gulfcoastbabe (8/5): A low key old Florida experience - Overall, we we enjoyed the Pearl Beach Inn. The rooms were nice and you are right on the sand. We stayed in the Atlantis room downstairs and the noise from the room above was quite loud. The T.V. internet worked only about half the time. The rooms are fairly well appointed but make note, no salt and pepper. The staff were friendly, except for one young lady who seemed put out at times. We loved the beach and seashells. The water and sunsets were lovely. Glad that we got to visit this spot!
Jason (10/5): - If you like peace and quiet and just hanging out on the beach, you’ll love it. If you want shopping and dining you’ll have to drive about 15-20 minutes away. Great place for sea shells and shark teeth.
Airborne68 (10/5): Location, Views, and the Gulf of America - We stayed here for seven nights. This is our second visit. Location, location, location. You are right on the Gulf of America. Fantastic views and sunsets.Rooms were very clean. Owners and staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Great value. We will be back...
Amanda (6/5): - Two years in between visits and you can tell. We got to there early and was told our room was not ready, no big deal- we walked the beached. During that walk we got engaged, so romantic since this was the first place we ever traveled to two years ago and was were we stayed when I seen an ocean for the first time. At check in they put us in a different room vs what we paid for... saidnitbwas a better view. Nope they just didnt have power in our room and no one had air conditioning. After explaining we will wait for the power to have our room so we can celebrate our engagement. Front desk was more focused on making sure we knew we were to smoke all the way out front of their property vs even saying congratulations. Later that night we had to help a guest downstairs next to the first room they tried to give us get a lizard out of their room.... not the. same Pearl Beach we remember. Sadly I have reconsidered renting the entire upstairs and having our wedding there... not sure we will return.
V9113AZtraceys (10/5): Most amazing place ever!! - This place is truly a hidden gem if you are looking for a very peaceful and relaxing beach experience. We were there for 7 nights late June and we can’t say enough about this place! Wonderful family owned staff, steps from the beach, so clean and comfortable, and just an absolutely breathtaking little slice of paradise! We caught some fish, found over 800 sharks teeth, made breakfast and lunch in our room and ate on our patio with amazing views, and went out each evening for dinner at some amazing restaurants! We didn’t want to leave and we are already planning our next trip!! I kept telling them that we really wanted to be selfish and keep this place a secret, but we would tell our closest family and friends about this amazing place!! ❤️
Lynda (10/5): - I liked the smallness of it. And no crowds. It was wonderful.
scottsC7488EV (2/5): Unwelcoming, rude, and accusitory, not family friendly anymore - 13 Years of Loyalty — and We Got Blindsided, Overcharged, and Treated Like Criminals Our group has stayed at the Pearl Beach Inn every Memorial Day weekend for 13 years. What used to be a beloved tradition has been completely destroyed by the new ownership, who treat guests like intruders instead of customers. This year, after spending over $15,000, we were hit with a rude email accusing us of exaggerated “damage” and banning our entire group from ever returning. We were personally charged $360 for what amounted to maybe $15 worth of cleanup (some popsicle stains and drink rings), and every other guest in our party was hit with a $53 unexplained charge per room — with no email, no warning, and no explanation. Here’s the reality: 90% of our rooms had no damage, and most of us left cash tips for the cleaning staff. Yes, a couple of tables had light stains — but this is a beachfront motel, not a showroom. If you’re going to market yourself as family-friendly, then maybe don’t furnish your rooms with delicate materials that stain from a juice box. This isn’t your living room. If you can’t handle guests actually using the furniture, maybe make it adults-only with a no-snacks policy. Worse, they shared photos and information about another guest’s room with someone who didn’t stay there, which is a serious guest privacy violation. That alone is enough to raise red flags. They also claimed we violated sea turtle protections and noise ordinances, which is flat-out false. We were careful and respectful, checking from 100+ feet away to make sure we weren’t too loud, and strictly avoided marked nesting areas. They blamed us for septic issues, yet when we arrived, there was no beach rinse station, no hose, nothing — which meant sand was inevitably getting tracked in. I personally dragged their hose to the beach to fix it. The next day, they took the hint and installed a hose splitter. Multiple guests also reported shower drain problems on the first night, before any of their “damage” could’ve happened. And here’s where it gets creepy: they claimed teenage boys over-occupied a room — even though their parents were on-site. Unless they’ve got cameras in the rooms, which would be a serious problem, there’s no way they’d know who slept where. It’s invasive and inappropriate to even bring it up. Speaking of surveillance, the place is covered in cameras. You can’t walk ten feet without feeling like you’re being watched. It’s overbearing and creates a constant sense that you’re being spied on, not hosted. Since the new owners took over — apparently a wealthy real estate investor who handed it off to his daughter — the entire vibe has changed. The warmth is gone. No friendly check-in, no hospitality. From day one, the manager made it clear we weren’t welcome. We used to love this place. Now, it’s clear they care more about policing guests and charging fees than they do about service, respect, or loyalty. Save yourself the headache — this place is no longer what it used to be. And if you stay here, prepare to be watched, blamed, and billed.
Chad (10/5): - Calm and quiet. Great way to relax.
Ellen (10/5): Gorgeous spot for a relaxing break - It was a relaxing stay for a few days - right on the beach. Plenty of chairs, umbrellas, towels, and equipment for shell and shark tooth hunting. My husband and I really enjoyed it and the beautiful sunsets!
Olivia (10/5): - Pearl Beach Inn was amazing! Easy to get to, directly on the beach, super clean room, shower had lots of hot water and excellent pressure. They provide beach towels, chairs, sifters, everything you need for a beach day. For being directly on the beach and the amenities - definitely worth the price.
Darin (8/5): - This is a lovely little place, most rooms are efficiencies but provide anlmost all you need including a fridge, sink, microwave and induction hot plate to cook on. The dishes and cookware are provided however the cookware was scant, one pot one fry pan, no cooking bowls, colander, etc. bring your own ziplock bags, cooking oil, salt, etc. They also have 3 charcoal grills with charcoal, lighter, and lighter fluid provided. The kitchen and bathroom could use little single towel hooks to free up space for personal items but are nice spaces with shampoos, conditioner, and lotion. The place is furnished nicely, the bed was comfy but there was no where to put your suitcase and needs a luggage stand or something. Also, unfortunately the property had a lot of water damage from the hurricane including water stains around the baseboards and a mildew smell in the kitchen cabinets. The patios are very nice with great views from any room, you are very close to the water. the beach itself had so many shells it was hard to walk or lay on. They provide you with beach chairs (but only 2 reclining ones available), beach toys, sifters, and beach towels. It is a quiet area which I enjoy but all residential so if you want restaurants, bars, or shops expect to drive. Staff was also friendly and accommodating.
John (8/5): Almost Perfection - So quaint. So clean. So cute. So close to perfection. The check-in was quick and easy. The young lady was pleasant and efficient. But the office is only open from 3 to 5pm. The room was cute and spotless. The bed was so comfy! The hurricane-repaired beach deck was perfect. The available grills, beach chairs, beach rakes, and beach wagons to haul your bags to your room, were appreciate. So why not a perfect 10? Just a few little things. Things that separate the good from the great. Things like no ice machine. And it's several miles back to town for a bag of ice. Things like a beautiful mini kitchen area, but the fridge doors open the wrong way. If I had my tool kit I would have fixed it in five minutes. Lastly, hoping to open the windows in unit #1 to hear the waves lap onto the shore, only to find two of the three windows had no screen, and the third wouldn't open. We love small business, so by all means book a room here. But for the price, hope they move closer to perfection!
Roberta (8/5): - Nice beach ,beautiful views
Verified traveler (10/5): Beautifully quiet - Very clean and quiet. Beautiful views of the gulf. Easy to get to shopping and dining.
Charled (10/5): UH-MAZE-ING! - This place was UH-MAZE-ING! Great price. Great location. Friendly staff. Super clean. We found 432 shark teeth in the 1.5 days we were there. We didn’t even have to sift! They were just scattered all over. Don’t waste your time going to Venice. This place is perfect! We will be back!
Airborne68 (10/5): The very private Pearl Beach Inn - The Peral Inn was EXCELLENT! Great views. We stayed 10 days. Three of those days we were the only ones on the beach. Very private. Some days we walked the beach to our left and right; we were the only ones, two miles round trip. Of course I have to mention the fossilized sharp teeth we found on the beach during our hikes. They were one million years old. You will love this place! We will be back...
Greyce (10/5): - This place is a piece of paradise. My husband and I absolutely love everything about it . It’s cozy , clean , the beach is amazing, no crowd , great for people that want to relax . We will definitely come back .
Patricia (10/5): - I liked the beach access right outside our hotel.
KAREN (10/5): - I love small "mom and pop" hotels on a beach. This fit the billl. 12 rooms. On the beach. Close to restuarants but not in town. Awesome. Very nice staff. Everything I could want.
Carol (10/5): Location, location, location! - This is a gem of a place on a fantastic beach. Wildlife abounds including ospreys, gopher tortoises and sea turtles. We had room 10 with a view over the roof. We loved the calmness of the place and never left for 5 days. We stocked up with food and drink beforehand and loved the beach scene. An amazing location.
Ruth (10/5): Perfect - Absolutely loved it here. I wish we would have stayed here for the entire trip!
266seanm (10/5): Excellent staff, nice accommodations and gorgeous beach. - Excellent stay at a hidden gem. Staff were friendly and the place had everything needed for a great stay at the beach. Our room had a balcony overlooking ocean and it was well equipped. They had beach chairs, umbrellas, tools for kids to play in sand. The staff gave great suggestions for dinner options and local attractions. The best attraction was the private beach which even on a busy weekend was empty.
Sean (10/5): - Everything from check in to check out was easy. Staff was friendly and gave us plenty of things to do in the area. Room had ocean view, ice cold ac which was needed, and it’s on an amazing beach. They have sand chairs, umbrellas and everything else you can use at the beach. Excellent stay we will be returning.
Cindy (10/5): - Secluded beach front. If you love sitting at the beach and cooking on a grill outside your room this is your place. A mom and pop property
Terry (6/5): - We just had the worst room you could possibly get. There must have been doing construction upstairs from us because I cannot imagine that there could be people that rude to walk around pounding like they are about to come through our ceiling. We got no sleep! We were booked for 2 days and only stayed One! We were miserable 😞
mmvr5312 (10/5): Charming beach hotel - March 2024 Review: we stayed 5 nights. It’s the best. No frills, and right on the beach. So peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed using the beach chairs and loved our covered patio overlooking the ocean. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing nearby is awesome. So relaxing and peaceful. March 2023 Review:I meant to leave this review what seems like a million years ago! Now, as I look at spring break ideas for this year, I was reflecting back to what an absolute gem the Pearl Beach Inn is. The staff is wonderful. So nice and accommodating. The beach is quiet and the location is amazing--right on the sand. This is a clean, low key spot to just relax and enjoy the beach. It isn't fancy but it will give your family the perfect beach vacation. My parents live nearby so we don't get to stay often, unless the entire family is in town, but we look forward to walking by.
Jennifer (10/5): - Perfect property to rest and relax! We stayed in the Atlantis and it was more than we expected. The beach was so quiet it was like we had it all to ourselves. We found so many shark teeth and enjoyed the beautiful sunsets!! Looking to return again soon!
I4630BEjohnd (10/5): Felt like I had my own private oasis! - It’s hard to believe that such a classic and charming vacation spot still exists in the era of the mega resort, but the Pearl is an absolute Pearl! Peaceful and tranquil with a friendly and helpful staff, breathtaking Gulf Coast views, and a beautiful and ultra private beach provide peace and solitude. Nice clean rooms have what you need. I highly recommend and am planning my next trip back here.
Patrick lee (8/5): - Should be 5 star all the way
Ryan (10/5): - Peaceful retreat. Lovely staff and great location

Stephen (10/5): - The property was just as one would expect of an excellent small beach hotel.
Elizabeth S. (10/5): - The beach is beautiful and the property simple and sweet. No frills. No fuss. Just the natural beauty.
Scott (8/5): - Red tide could not use the beach
Lynn (10/5): - This was a great vacation experience for my husband and I. We would definitely return to the Pearl!
Kristi (10/5): - Had a great stay
Janell (10/5): - Love how you can walk out you door and be right on the beach. Laidback atmosphere, clean and close to dinning and entertainment.
Bradley (10/5): -
Steven (6/5): - The beach and hotel were nice, but we were charged unreasonable clean up charge after the fact. They charged a pet fee when we checked in and we told them our pet was a little larger then 30 pounds,(we missed the fine print) they were fine with it and let us check in charging us an extra 30 dollars a night. We made sure to straighten up the room and even did our dishes for them before we left. They took advantage and charged us $160.00 more on our card after we left, I guess for cleaning. Nice place but we felt that was very unfair. We will not recommend it and changed our minds about ever going back.
Randal (10/5): Absolutely Wonderful! - Great check-in. I would only suggest that customers are given the option for a better room upon check in when they are available. The place is a slice of peaceful paradise. Amazing views, and quiet. Highly recommend.
J7075ENlesliet (10/5): Friends business get away - This place was wonderful! Rooms were nicely accommodated. Located right on the beach. Staff was great. Room Overlooked the beach and had a balcony and a patio with umbrella table. Close to great local restaurants. Quiet. Beach was not packed at all. I will definitely go back!
Nicole (10/5): - Proximity to the water
Amber (8/5): Amazing location with a comfy bed - We had an amazing stay and enjoyed our time on the beach. The bed was so comfy and the shower was hot.Very relaxing and the location is the very best.you can watch the sunset on the gulf from the patio. No people other than the people at your hotel. It is an older motel but We book for the location. We love the pearl. We did have an issue with what I’ll call “beach bugs”. There were little flying bugs. They offered to switch rooms, we declined that offer because we had reserved a room right on the beach and like I said we booked for the location. The staff were very nice and we just vacuumed them out everyday.
Ann T (10/5): Lovely Little Inn on Manasota Key - This is a lovely little inn right on Manasota Key beach - the folks who run the inn are friendly, the rooms are spacious and well-appointed (although the fridge was LOUD!), and the location can't be beat. What a great spot!
Stephen (10/5): Peaceful - We spent a very nice week at the Pearl Beach Inn. Location was perfect, right on the beach and we used the grills on a couple of occasions. WIFI wasn't particularly good. All in all, if you want peace and quiet away from the crowds and not luxury, then this is the place for you.
Randy (10/5): My stay at the resort - Great friendly understanding staff Great beach and fabulous sun sets
364tilley (10/5): Earlier review said B&B on a beach and that is about right. - Simple but attractive setting and a pleasnt room with good seating and with a balcony, Very helpful staff,comfortable bed,very clean and well furnished with good simple kitchen area for breakfasts (bring supplies). Sadly we had iffy weather-sea fog,winds little rain so not the beach stay we had hoped for but the room was comfortable enough to sit in and read.
kathryn (8/5): - This is a very sweet Inn located right on the beach ! It is well taken care of and the staff is lovely. It is a bit dated but in a nostalgic way. We were very pleased with our stay despite the chilly weather.
Aleena (10/5): - Beautiful place to stay. We were only there for one night but talked about booking the same condo for our family vacation later this year
toes49 (8/5): High compliments to housekeeping staff - We wanted an off the beaten path, quiet get away and this came very close. If not for some inconsiderate, loud guests in the room(s) below us, it surely would’ve been that (with the ocean right there, it would’ve been easy for them to take their voices & loud conversations a few steps away or at least close their doors.) Back to the good - it’s a very cute Inn. We stayed in #10, which has a king bed, little kitchen with stove, refrigerator, microwave, sink. Come prepared - either pick up groceries & provisions on the way and/or have a car, as the closest restaurants are about 7 miles away. This, for us, was a plus but some other guests were unhappy because their room didn’t have a kitchen & they didn’t have a car (not sure how they got there!) I’m pretty sure all the rooms have a refrigerator & microwave, though.. be sure you know what your room has & what you’ll need. The coffee maker has little pre-packed pouches = 4 small cups of coffee each, so if you want more coffee than that, bring coffee & round filters. I made dinner one night using the stove & the main element was not connected- I reconnected it & it was really grimy 🤢- they really ought to replace that stove. The room has a nice little private porch and another little balcony, which adds space & a place to enjoy your area privately as well as a deck with grills & chairs downstairs. The view from our porch was a little disappointing… rooftop with air conditioners and the ocean beyond that. I’m thinking that may also be a little loud in the summer (air conditioners.). Rooms 4 & 5 are directly on the beach with a little elevated “yard,” which gives the best beach view & access, but there is no divider between those areas, which could be a plus or minus depending on how much privacy you want. I want to give high compliments to the housekeeping staff - the room was nice and clean, not an easy task for a beachfront resort. Overall, we had a nice visit. I guess the older I get, the more I’m leaning to renting a little house in the future to avoid the party noise that comes with beachfront resorts.
Anne (10/5): - This place is a real treasure, a nostalgic reminder of what Florida used to be before the era of anonymous high rise hotels looming above crowded beaches. Set on a quiet, residential key, the Pearl Beach Inn is an oasis of serenity. A modest but immaculate 2-story property right on a beautiful stretch of almost-deserted beach, the Inn offers a prime location for anyone seeking to get away from noisy jet skis, rowdy beach parties, and boom box intrusions onto your vacation. You can relax on the spacious patio and deck areas or set up your beach chair inches from the water. The rooms are spacious and recently remodeled, with everything you need for a self sufficient beach vacation. Shopping is only a few minutes away off-key. But when you are on the key and at the Inn, everything drops away and you can enjoy true relaxation!
Charles (10/5): - Wonderful location on the beach
Terry (10/5): - Amazing waterside place to stay. We only stayed a couple of nights, but you could easily stay weeks as they have good in room cooking, full size refrigerator, and all the utensils you need.
Melane (10/5): - waterfront view is awesome & sunsets beautiful. Parking easy. Staff friendly.
Greg (10/5): LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!! - Unbelievable location! Great Manager- Shelley! Go ST. A's Football!
BD840 (8/5): Found a Gem - The Pearl Beach Inn is truly a gem. This small MOTEL is situated on the beach in a residential area with the nearest dining approximately 5 miles away. The rooms are nothing fancy but clean. WiFI is only available on the patio outside the office and cell phone reception is intermediate. If you are looking for luxury this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a small motel located directly on the beach this is it. We will definitely return.
motheroftwodivas (8/5): Wonderful place with no WiFi - Someone else wrote but I failed to listen - there is truly little to no WiFi here. Even phone calls are difficult. We visited to do a real estate transaction that proved to be very difficult. All that said, staff was great and did their best to help us. Place is really nice. Setting is terrific. Would definitely visit if work (and my young adult kids) weren’t part of the picture.
Meme2004 (10/5): Real Paradise - This was our 3rd visit. We usually see a different part of the Gulf coast each year but we find ourselves drawn here. If you watch the video on the website, you'll see why. We found about 600 small sharks teeth which are so fun to find. The rooms are nothing fancy but clean. The air sometimes had trouble catching up but it is Florida. We met lots of friendly people but the most on the beach on one day was about 25 and most of them belonged to a family group. The water was as beautiful as the water in the panhandle. Dolphins were so close you could video. We will definitely go back again.
Verified traveler (10/5): - It was perfect
Kristina (10/5): Perfect hidden gem - This was the cutest boutique stay ever. Its literally footsteps to sunset on the beach. I read an earlier review about limited service. While that is very true cell was very limited but this was just what we needed. It was relaxing, everyone staying was very friendly. My pups were traveling with us and it was perfect for them. I can't wait to go back and stay for longer.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Beautiful location with clean, no frills accommodations.The staff is great.All were very nice and helpful. The perfect get away. We would definitely return.
Jerzeemom (10/5): Wonderful stay! - My husband and I stayed at the Pearl Beach Inn for his Birthday weekend. Had a wonderful time! The property was clean the area was very quiet, and the beach was wonderful. There were plenty of restaurants to choose from in the area and a lot to do and see. The on-site staff was very accommodating and friendly. We will definitely be back!
Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved our stay at The Pearl! The room was clean and the area quiet. The beach was very nice. Lots to do locally. I highly recommend staying here! We we be back!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Right on the water
Verified traveler (10/5): - Pearl Beach Inn is a great place to stay for quiet, clean and relaxing time right on the beach. The rooms are small and the property is an old one. Our room was remodeled not too long ago and was really very nice with tile floor, modern bathroom fittings, modern kitchenette (full sized refrigerator) and a very comfortable bed. We were in room 4 and our windows and door opened on to the beach. The staff was friendly and welcoming with a real laid back style. Will definitely stay here again.
R_Tawny (10/5): Mini Honeymoon Getaway - First off... the staff over the phone were amazing! We booked online but called for our questions. Everyone was so friendly. We checked in late but everything was perfectly set up for us. We picked room #5 for our stay. The one directly looking out at the beach. It has a kitchenette so if you’re looking for a place on a budget, buy the room and bring groceries with you. Was perfect for us! Room number 5 didn’t get the WiFi that was provide and we didn’t get good service (we have Verizon) but it was okay with us because it made us enjoy the beach even more. Lots of shark teeth and all the locals were very friendly on the beach! Beautiful sunsets and great fishing! My husband caught.... trout, pin fish, whiting, jacks, Spanish mackerel, and ladyfish. Even got to see some dolphins playing in the morning! Checking out was a breeze. I strongly recommend this place. Kind of like a bed and breakfast and a private beach. If you get a chance.... stay here!!!
blaise (8/5): - A unique spot actually on the beach. Nothing between you and the water. The porch is 20 yards from the water. Clean, comfortable but a little worn.
sam61554 (8/5): Amazing location - The hotel is in the amazing location and one of the best values of your trip! The beach is amazing and very private. We stayed in room 10 with balcony of ocean view. The room had complete kitchen including stove, freezer, and dishes. Beach chairs and towels were included as well. Only negative item is there was zero service Or WiFi... but it is nice to unplug!
CaptSly (2/5): Never Again - I don’t know where to begin... the power went out overnight, so in the morning that means no coffee, no breakfast, no hot water...when I asked if there was going to be any type of consideration on the bill the answer was a flat, snarky “no”. I’ve lived in Florida my whole life, so I’m used to humidity, but the entire room was like a swamp. If you sat on a chair your butt got wet. Water would drip on you while sitting on the toilet. The beach was covered with tree debris and random pieces of lumber. There was absolutely no WiFi at all (we couldn’t even locate the network) and the cell service was virtually nonexistent - I understand going there to “unplug” but it would be nice to have the ability to text or call a friend or search the web to check the weather. For the price they charge I felt like a robbery victim. The absolute lack of any concern WHATSOEVER about having NO POWER and thus no ability to even make a morning cup of coffee was unconscionable. Like the title says, Never Again.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Easy access to the beach and amazing views. The room was comfortable but the people staying above us were extremely noisy. The hotel is old and there is no sound proofing between floors.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice place. Clean but sign in room said items washed but not sterilized. That was concerning during the pandemic. VERY basic. Limited to no phone or internet services. Restaurants & stores 5-8 miles away, not even a convenience store. No stove but an electric burner available. Needs some maintenance. Steps are pitch black at night without any lightning. I understand turtle season but there were other lights on. Like I said, nice place but not my cup of tea.
Guest (10/5): Relaxing and Peaceful - Rm #4 stayed 3 days here. My husband and I totally enjoyed every moment we were there. Quiet atmosphere and hardly anyone on the beach. Found lot's of shells and sharks teeth. Room supplied everything that we needed for fixing our small romantic meals. Couldn't ask for anything better with a beach front room.Office and staff were friendly and helpful.We look forward to coming back. So glad we found this place! : )
Anjikb54 (10/5): RELAXING STAY! - This is a hidden gem! Stayed in Rm #7. Clean, comfortable, King-sized bed, walk-in closet, a Safe to lock up valuables, kitchenette with essentials, including an Induction cooking appliance. Private Beach for hotel guests was clean and not crowded. We were the only two on the beach until around 1:00, when a family arrived. At shoreline, we found a variety of small shark teeth. We did not venture out onto sand bar but certainly will next time. There are sea turtle beds everywhere! It was exciting to discover those that were made overnight by following their fin prints and belly slides to/from beach. We appreciated quaintness of this small, boutique place to stay. The only negative we encountered was that of inconsiderate guests who sat or walked around on the deck for hours, smoking. To get to our room, we had to walk through their smoke. Guests should not be subjected to second-hand smoke. Especially, those who have Asthma, COPD or other lung issues. Perhaps this ‘shared’ space should be designated as Non-Smoking, too? Guests are allowed to smoke on their individual porches right outside their room door. We needed this time to unplug from electronics and stresses of daily life. We unexpectedly found a kindred spirit in Kimberly who handled our reservations and answered all our first-timer questions! Thank you! We look forward to staying here again and again!
Becky (6/5): - Ac is not good room is not cleaned every day
Michelle (10/5): Lovely beachfront property - Great location - quiet and right on the beach. Staff was very nice. I would go again and try for one of the fully water facing units - 4, 5 or 10.
Merry-Jane (10/5): - This is a wonderful "old Florida" kind of place. Laid back and relaxed, lots of shells on the beach, quiet and easy-going; it is just what I was looking for. We had rain the weekend I was there and it was still excellent. The Gulf was warm and we walked on the beach when the rain was light. The bed was comfortable, too.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Small and quiet. Beautiful private beach. We stayed for 4 nights and our 12 year old spent hours looking for shark teeth. Highly recommend if you’re looking to get away from the crowds.
Lisa (10/5): Pearl Beach Inn Unit 12 - Amazing Trip - We stayed in Unit 12 at Pearl Beach Inn for our 5th Wedding Anniversary and our stay was wonderful. If you love the beach and are looking to unwind and unplug, this is your spot. Staying at the Pearl is like having your own private beach. It is a peaceful little slice of heaven. The only note I will make is that you can not do any laundry at The Pearl, you have to go into town and find a laundromat so you might want to pack accordingly. This was our first stay, but it will definitely not be the last.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Our stay at the Pearl Inn was wonderful....on the first night from dinning out I discovered that I had left the door key locked in our room...no problem. Just a call and we were back in our room and this was after hours and the staff were so understanding...the Pearl Inn was neat and very clean. This little piece of Paradise is well maintained..I would not hesitate to recommend the Pearl Inn to anyone looking at staying a peaceful weekend or more along this beautiful GulfCoastline....Frederick
Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful beach and quiet. Just perfect. Friendly staff and Guests. We hope to go back next year.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Can't beat the location, step out your door and onto the beach ! I like that it was small and private and not too fancy, just what we were looking for!! Also liked that it had a small kitchen. We will definitely be back !!
vito (4/5): - Was not good I would not recommend.
RachelandMichae (10/5): - The Pearl is our most favorite place on earth. We always enjoy our stay and hate to leave. The beach is awesome and the inn is very charming. The owner and manager has always treated us very well. We highly recommend the Pearl!!
Heather (10/5): Very clean and quiet - The hotel was super clean. They had beach chairs and toys available. Very quiet, beach was nice. A super spot if you like shelling!!
Cristina (8/5): The Pearl on d beach. - Location, location!!! Other than that it was just "ok". If u like solicitude this is the place.
