$$. The beachfront is significantly less crowded than main beach, outdoor pool, small gym, and free breakfast. Under each block, we have reserved rooms with a direct view of the gulf with 2 queen beds and a private balcony. This is a 13 min walk to the venue/pier as it is 0.6 miles away on the flat ground/road, but you are also able to walk along the shore. There are also bike rentals inside the hotel via Spinway on the Gulf: would highly recommend so you can explore all the delicious restaurants/beach bars on Pensacola Beach! It is only a 4 min bike ride to the venue/pier

$$. This hotel is located in Gulf Breeze, which is an island located in between Pensacola and Pensacola Beach, about a 25 min drive from Pensacola International Airport and an 8 min drive to our venue & Pensacola Beach. Amenities include an outdoor pool, small gym, and a free breakfast buffet. Under each block, we have reserved double rooms. Nearby the hotel is a Neighborhood Walmart, Starbucks, Chick-Fil-A, Publix, among many other chain restaurants. If staying here, we would recommend obtaining a rental car for the weekend for easier access to the beach.
There are plenty of Airbnb's and VRBO's on the beach - these can be great options if you are staying with a larger group or even smaller groups! Additionally, there are lots of hotels on the beach that offer lots of amenities, easy access to the beach, and is close to our venue.
If you are opting for a cheaper stay, we would recommend looking for hotels/Airbnb's in the Gulf Breeze area, which is an island located between mainland Pensacola and Pensacola Beach, and is a 5-10 min drive to the beach. However, if you opt for Gulf Breeze, we'd recommend renting a car.
Additionally, you may find the cheapest hotels and Airbnb's in Pensacola (where we live!). However, if you do opt to stay in Pensacola, it is crucial that you rent a car, as Ubers are not as easily accessible on Pensacola Beach and the beach is at least 20 min away from anywhere in Pensacola.

An hour away from Pensacola Beach and the venue, but depending on what you want to do over the weekend may be worth the distance! Destin/Miramar Beach has some more upscale/luxury resorts like Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort and Seascape Resort. Destin also has multiple championship golf courses, tons of dining, and shopping (including Silver Sands which is a designer outlet). Destin generally has more to do on the island, while on Pensacola Beach, there is definitely a variety of stuff to do but more dining and shopping is found inland. Destin is also usually more crowded. If you travel up to an hour East of Destin, you will reach the towns of 30A including Rosemary Beach, Aly's Beach, Grayton Beach, and Seaside/Seagrove/Watercolor, which are beautiful towns with their own charm and tons of Airbnb's to stay in. If you choose to stay in this area, it is crucial to rent a car for the weekend in order to drive over for the wedding. Additionally, it can be difficult to get an uber/lyft in this area!
