If your idea of a perfect extended vacation includes warm weather, emerald green beaches and plenty of ocean-front golf, Pensacola, Florida, has everything you need. Pensacola is home of the most beautiful beaches in the world, perfect weather nearly year-round and plenty of championship golf courses. No matter how long your stay in Pensacola, you will likely find that it's not long enough. Luckily, many area hotels are equipped to keep you comfortable no matter how long you stay.
Extended StayAmerica
Just four miles from Scenic Hills Golf Course and convenient to three of Pensacola's busiest college campuses, Extended StayAmerica offers rooms and suites that allow you to make yourself at home for a longer stay. The hotel offers discounted nightly rates when you stay a week or longer, making it an affordable option.
All of the rooms have a refrigerator, microwave and stove top, allowing you to cook meals in your room. You will even find basic cooking pots and utensils in the cupboards to get you started on dinner. Internet access is available, but there is a small one-time fee to activate your connection. And if you don't want to leave Fido behind on your extended trip, you don't have to. Pets are welcome in all but the newly remodeled Signature Suites.

Suburban Extended Stay Hotel

The hotel offers a range of extended-stay suites, from one-bedroom suites with a small kitchen and work area to a six-person deluxe suite with two bedrooms, a living room, dining room and full kitchen.
Unlike the Extended Stay America hotel, Suburban Extended Stay does not allow pets. It does have free high-speed Internet in all rooms, however.

Staybridge Suites
If you prefer a hotel closer to the Gulf of Mexico and golf courses overlooking the emerald green water, Staybridge Suites will suit your extended vacation needs. Staybridge offers not only full kitchens in every suite, but TVs with DVD players, dishwashers and free wireless Internet for all guests.
The hotel has an outdoor pool and laundry services. Unfortunately, none of the 88 suites are pets-friendly, so if your puppy goes everywhere you go, this hotel is not the right one for you. On the other hand, if you love a good workout, Staybridge will keep your heart pumping in the on-site exercise room.
