Knoxville, TN
25 May 2008

I recently stayed here w/a friend and family while visiting w/my brother on the Naval Base. It rained our 1st few days, and we didn't mind spending time in the unit. It was very comfortable w/enough space that we weren't in each other's hair the whole time. The staff was friendly, the amenities great, the grounds are well maintained, and we were able to walk everywhere on the island. You will have to stop at a grocery store before you get to the island or make another trip back inland, but that's not a real hassle.

As far as noise from the bars nearby, I never found it to be a problem. When you're at the pool, you can hear music from "Paradise" next door, but it was normally just a guy w/a guitar. Late at night, you can hear distant music from the night life places down the street (Cap'n Fun, Flounders, Bamboo Willie's, etc), but I only heard it when I was on the pier. I could occasionally hear music on my patio, but never when I was inside the unit w/the doors/windows closed. I love music and found it enjoyable to listen to while I was relaxing outside.

We didn't have a problem w/parking either. The spots are limited, but there were always several open, and we were coming and going at different times each day. There are also cops in the parking lot at all times. Whether they're watching the road, the parking lot, or the units I'm not sure, but it definately helps keep people moving instead of loitering near the condos.

The only bad thing I can think of is that you have to pay a toll to get to Pensacola Beach and the condos. This wouldn't have been a big problem if my brother's unit hadn't gotten restricted priveledges the week we were there. We'd planned on just picking him up when we got to town, and then taking him back when we left. Because of the restriction, we had to pick him up every morning and take him back every night-- which is about 40 minutes roundtrip each time (so 80 mins a day for driving), plus the bridge tolls. We went thru an entire tank of gas just driving back and forth. If you're looking for something close to the Naval Base, this is OK as long as you aren't making frequent trips. If you're going to be driving back and forth a lot, you might want to book elsewhere.

After booking this room on line without first seeing the unit I was afraid that it would be a mistake. But once we arrived, just by looking at the outside if the property I immediently became excited. The room was absolutely gorgeous! Clean, spacious, and fully equiped with all the comforts of home. The large pool, hot tub, and fishing pier were just added bonuses. For the price of $418 dollars, this condo is the real deal. Thank you for a weekend that will never forget!

“Springbreak Get away!”

Soundside Holiday Beach Resort

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
WIchita, KS
6 Mar 2008

Myself and a friend were visiting Pensacola Beach as a Spring break trip and to visit our friend stationed in Eglin AFB. It was definitely a good time!

The staff was friendly when we had contact with them, however they were not at all pushy with the time share meetings, they didn't even approach us with it which was nice.

They were still making storm repairs to some of the facilities when we were there, however the unit we were in was in great condition, clean, and had everything we could need in it. The pool, and hot tub were excellent, and the pier was a nice place to retreat for a quiet time to read a book.

It was a great facility but it did have a couple negatives that keep it from a 5/5. The repair crew for the storm damage started promptly at 8 every morning and woke everyone up then. At this point that should not be an issue as the repairs will be complete. If you get back to the facilities late parking is going to be a bit touch and go. You'll find a place it just might be inconvenient and crowded. Lastly there was what appeared to be a biker bar next door that would get somewhat rowdy and loud at night.

Overall the negatives were small, and the positives highly outweighed them. As long as my friend remains stationed there I greatly anticipate returning!

“Great Place to Stay”

Soundside Holiday Beach Resort

16 Dec 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

This is such a nice place to stay. We were there 5 nights, and on Tuesday morning the management had a complimentary breakfast with biscuits and gravy, eggs, fresh fruit, sausage, pastries, and juice. The two bedrooms are large, and the entire condo was very clean and comfortable. It is large enough that I think two people could live in it comfortably full time. The entire island is clean, no trash with several good restaurants. Nice relaxing vacation, and in December, no crowds.

“Had a Great time”

Champaign, IL
10 Oct 2007

We stayed at Soundside September 15-22, 2007 and really loved the place. We were on the top floor and really enjoyed the screened in porch. The unit was very spacious and clean. We didn't even get in our car for a couple of days, were able to walk to everything around. Drove to Destin one day and into Pensacola a couple of days, but the rest of the time we spent at the beach or walking around the area. I would definately recommend this place to stay. Some other reviewers commented on the loud music next door but we actually enjoyed listening to it on the porch or out in the pool. After Labor Day the places around the really slow down. Not alot of people during the week. I'm not sure how it would be during the summer season. The weather was great except the last night and day we were there (tropical storm). The wind picked up but it wasn't too bad. We enjoyed walking the beach looking for shells and sand dollars. We even saw dolphins one day. We would definately return to Soundside.
