The Pearl Beach Inn

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.

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.

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.

Peaceful retreat. Lovely staff and great location

The property was just as one would expect of an excellent small beach hotel.

The beach is beautiful and the property simple and sweet. No frills. No fuss. Just the natural beauty.

This was a great vacation experience for my husband and I. We would definitely return to the Pearl!

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!
