Lori Martinez - Manager/Owner
Lori's love of travel and vacations started long before she was an adult. Some of her favorite childhood
memories are those of family vacations. Lori, along with her sister and brother always looked forward to our
trips to anywhere or everywhere. Lori says the experience was priceless! Lori said "It really didn't matter
if we rented and stayed in an apartment, condo, private home or hotel. What mattered is the fact that either
one became a part of our family's past, present and future."
Her years in the U.S. Navy as a corpsman and 30 years in the medical field contributed to her personal
commitment to customer care and customer service. She is dedicated to helping vacationers find that special
place here in our Pensacola Paradise. Lori's goal is to make your visit pleasant, positive and rewarding,
and to treat you like she would want to be treated.
Surfside Properties and Lori welcome you to Pensacola.

Steve Picker - Owner
Steve attended the University of Missouri graduating with a degree in hotel and restaurant management. He
was employed at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center in Kansas City until the entrepreneurial bug kicked in. His
father started a engineering business many years ago and his entrepreneurial sprit was passed down. Steve
started his own web-development business in 1997; then in 2000, working with his grandmother, he started a
business marketing a salad dressing she perfected in 1957 called Grandma’s Cool & Zesty Dressing.
Concurrently, he received his master’s in Business Administration. In 2009, Steve purchased a condominium in
Pensacola Beach and immediately placed it in a rental program. After 9 months, he felt that a more personal
approach was needed in the industry. An approach that was based on cleanliness, open communication and
excellent customer service.
Steve invites you to give Surfside Properties a chance to impress you with excellent service and attention
to detail.
