About this property

Welcome to Lost Key Resort

Lost Key Resort is a four-star resort hotel located on Beach Heather Court in Pensacola, Florida. The property features spacious, well-maintained townhomes in a gated community with 24-hour security, offering a family-oriented and quiet atmosphere. Guests appreciate the clean facilities and the convenience of an on-site shuttle service that transports visitors to the beach and nearby amenities.

The resort includes a large, clean pool and private beach access with a small restaurant and pool area across the street. While chair rentals on the beach now require a fee, guests often enjoy the natural setting of Perdido Key and the nearby state park for outdoor activities such as swimming and fishing. Parking is somewhat limited, especially for larger groups, which is a consideration when planning a stay.

Located roughly 41 minutes by car from Pensacola International Airport, Lost Key Resort offers easy access to several notable attractions. Visitors can explore the extensive collection of restored military aircraft at the National Naval Aviation Museum or enjoy local dining and live music at the Flora-Bama bar and grill. Outdoor enthusiasts will find Perdido Key State Park’s barrier island beaches inviting for recreation and relaxation.

Reviews highlight the resort’s family-friendly environment, the convenience of the shuttle service, and proximity to restaurants and grocery stores. While some find the townhomes on the pricier side, the comfortable accommodations and secure setting make this a practical choice for those seeking a peaceful getaway near the beach.

We stayed in a townhouse right up front. Checking in and getting our placard was so easy - there's someone in the guard shack 24 hours a day. Everything was so clean and quiet. This is not a place to party - definitely a family vibe. The pool was huge and so clean. The shuttle was quick and the drivers were friendly and knowledgeable. The resort was conveniently located and central to many great restaurants. Our townhouse was spacious, superbly clean, and had everything we could have needed in the kitchen, for the beach, etc. I can't recommend this place enough!

Love the Lost Key Resort! We can’t complain about anything. It is across from the beach, but they have a shuttle service. We will definitely stay here again next year.

Town homes were nice but a little pricey. Taking shuttle to ocean was okay. Beach and beach club was very nice.

Stayed here for a family vacation and it was amazing. They have a shuttle that picks you up from your door and takes you across the street to the beach which offers restaurant and pool area. There is also a larger pool that is on site.

I stayed in a townhome here at the end of March. VERY nice accommodations! Resort is very nice, although we spent more time at the state beach down the road than the resort. The resort beach is now charging for chair rentals on the beach even though they were supposed to be included with the rental. Bring your own if you can! I would love to stay here again!

We stayed at Lost Keys Resort in September 2024 for a family vacation, and it was absolutely amazing. We booked through Airbnb, and from start to finish, the experience exceeded expectations. The resort has its own private beach access, which was a huge plus for us. Our rental was a spacious four-bedroom, four-bathroom home with a basement, and it was extremely nice and well-maintained. The location couldn’t be better—close to great restaurants, grocery stores like Publix, and other conveniences, yet still tucked away enough to feel peaceful. One of my favorite things was the sense of safety. The gated entrance is monitored by a security guard, and you need a pass to enter, which gave me peace of mind. The only downside was the parking situation. You’re limited to about three cars (possibly four if you squeeze), and while you can fit two in the garage, it can be a bit tight for larger groups. Having an electric car, I appreciated being able to charge it in the garage since I brought my own charger, but for guests with more vehicles, extra parking could be a challenge. Overall, this resort was a perfect vacation spot—beautiful, secure, and conveniently located. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Perdido Key, just be mindful of the parking limits when planning your trip.

We stayed here via AirBnB and it was great for our needs (which were fairly minimal). The location has good proximity to beaches and the many, many restaurants as you head west on the main beach road. It’s a 40 min drive from downtown Pensacola, which we didn’t quite expect, but we didn’t do that drive every day and it was fine. The resort has a small section of private beach, with a small restaurant and pool area. Unfortunately, the hours are a little limited (perhaps late April is considered pre-season), and all 3 times we went to the beach club area the restaurant and bar was closed. Overall, I had no problems but also nothing so notable that I’d go out of my way to stay here again on a return visit.
