All reservations are subject to a 30% deposit. A deposit guarantees we will hold the room reserved and that you will take the room for the entire period booked, rain or shine (or red tide).

The Pearl Beach Inn requires 14 days' notice of cancellation in order to be fully refunded your deposit.  Any cancellation or change made in the 13-day window prior to arrival will result in forfeit of your deposit. If you arrive after your scheduled check-in date, or decide to depart before your scheduled check-out date, you will not receive a partial or full refund for the unused nights at the property.  Reservations cancelled same day of arrival, and no shows will result in a 100% charge of the total stay.  You are responsible for the number of nights reserved.

“Change” includes moving the reservation to a later date. Please understand we have reserved your room for you, and if you make a change (or cancel) we may not be able to fill the room.  

 

We care about your safety and your use and enjoyment of our beach and common spaces.  That is why we limit the use of our property to our registered guests. We understand you may wish to share the beach with a friend who lives nearby, but there is only so much room here at the Pearl, and we want all our guests to enjoy the privacy and serenity of our Gulf-front beach, and our other common areas. We reserve the right to charge additional fees for unregistered guests.
Thank you for understanding.

While your ability to swim in the Gulf may be impacted – you can always head inland to experience all that Englewood has to offer. Please see the attached list of things to do in the area! Per our policy, we do not refund rates for days impacted by red tide.
