I Don't Mind Saying It ... Perfect!

All the previous reviews are spot-on. The condo is squeaky clean and the owners have focused on so many comfy, homey details than I can't list them all. That view from the balcony is utterly unforgettable (seriously, you can't get enough of it from the 4th floor location less than half a football field from the waters edge). Sandra and Jay were an easy delight to work with ... from the time we booked last January until getting our deposit returned lightning-fast with a nice hand-written letter thanking us for our stay ... can't ask for better than that! Sandy Key (the condo complex itself) is a gated, beautifully landscaped property that's well-run and has all the right amenities. It doesn't feel pretentious, yet has two pools, an outdoor hot tub, beach-side picnic and sitting areas, and a workout room that overlooks the gulf. Best of all, it's the last complex before a US national park - Gulf Islands National Seashore - which lies immediately to the east. I was able to hop on the elevator (just across from the front door of our condo) and be on the beach in less than three minutes. This building is the last one on the east. Strolling down the beach you'll pass six beach houses, one final high-rise, then nothing but undeveloped national beach for the next several miles. Such a treasure, so close, and ... those unforgettable sunrises! In a word - perfect.

Just like being at home.

This was our first time staying here and in Perdido Key. What a wonderful place. The condo was so nice, clean and comfortable. It was just like being at home. All the extras comforts you could ask for. And Perdido Key is such a nice, quite area. We practically had the beach to ourselves. But Pensacola and Orange Beach are just minutes away. The owners are so excellent to deal with and very helpful. They really take care of this property and treat you like family. I would recommend to anyone and have already recommended it to family.

This condo is fantastic! The pictures do not do it justice (or maybe there have been some upgrades since photos?) Regardless, we really enjoyed it and hope to come back to this exact unit next time. We have stayed in a few now and we liked this one the best - it just felt like a home; comfortable bed, comfortable furniture, amazing balcony (huge!). We enjoyed the low traffic on the beach because of the park just past the condo. And a small thing like having chairs and umbrella and boards and toys provided right downstairs is worth so much when you realize you don't have to pack or buy these things (you don't have to try to cram these odd things into your trunk!) The place was very clean, fresh, modern and neat. The owners were great to deal with; no surprises, smooth transactions on front and back end. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice place in a lower traffic area of the beach. You will not be disappointed.

Owner response:Robert Thank your for the nice complements, we appreciate our guest and will do everything we can to make their visit comfortable and enjoyable. We are on a continuous upgrade program, that is we look for things that need to be upgraded everytime we go there and we look for ideas from our clients. Thanks again and we look forward to having you again in the future. Sandra & Jay Roccaforte

Our family stayed in this condo a few weeks ago and we had a wonderful experience. It was beautiful and very well decorated. The kitchen was well furnished. The owner was very kind and even called to check on us after we arrived. The use of the beach toys was just an added bonus and such a nice gesture. And the view...amazing!! We will definitely be back!

Owner response:Marty and Amanda It was really nice of you to take the time to post these very nice comments. We will continue to look for opportunities to improve our condo for our clients enjoyment. Thanks for staying with us and we hope you will return again in the future. Sandra and Jay

Great Family Vacation July 16th thru 23rd

Date of Stay: 07/16/11 Review Submitted: 07/27/11

Thank you for sharing your Condo with my family. It was very clean and the furniture and bedding was very comfortable. The view from the balcony was great, and we just loved having just a few steps to the beach. My two sons ages 13 and 16 really enjoyed Coach Mike with the daily activities that they had scheduled everyday from beach volleyball, water volleyball and baseball. We would definitely return here. Your on the 8th floor, just across from the elevator, and loved having a full size washer and dryer. Most places we have rented from had a stackable. And we have come every year for 21 years.

Thank you again Sandra and Jay. My husband made a comment it was the best vacation we have ever taken. We have been coming to Perdido Key for 14 years and that says a lot. My kids had a great time in the pool meeting and playing with other families. We felt like we were home. The location was superb! If you want famly time and a chance to let the rest of the world wait while you catch your breath this is the perfect place. I would also like to invite owners to Arkansas to see and visit our beautiful White River and Norfork & Bull Shoals Lake. It is a smaller body of water but still beautiful too! Come one and all to the best place on Perdido Key!

Owner response:Robin and Randy It was great to have you at our condo, thank you for the kind words about our condo and the complex. We try to pay attention to detail for our guest convenience. Also, I am President of the Board of the Association so I can stay on top of what is taking place on the grounds and overall complex. I am going to look into White River and Norfork & Bull Shoals Lake, sounds like a place we would like to visit. Hope to see you again soon. Thank you Sandra & Jay

What a wonderful condo!!! This condo was a perfect get away for our family. The condo was beautiful and the kitchen was perfect. The stainless appliances and granite countertops were a plus. The flat screen TVs in every room were great. All of the kids were able to watch what they wanted at night. We will definately be returning for years to come!

Owner response:Addy Thank you for the nice comments, we are really glad to hear that you enjoyed our unit and Sandy Key. It is a great family property and we work very hard to make sure that everything in our unit is first class. We look forward to your return. Thanks again Jay & Sandra Roccaforte

Wonderful balcony

Date of Stay: 11/24/10 Review Submitted: 12/15/10

The condo was as nice as it appears online. A very nice condo and the balacny was the best with sunrises and sunsets. Had the weather been warmer it was nice to have the beach supplies in the storage area downstairs. I would go back.

Owner response:Deb Thanks for the nice comments, we look forward to you returning again soon and hope you will refer someone to our unit. Please have them mention your name and I will give you a 5% discount the next time you return. Don't forget to remind me so it won't slip through the cracks. Sandra and Jay

I have already sumbitted this review with a Youtube link of a song I wrote that was inspired by my time at Perdido Key. Unfortunately, I need to correct the link on the review. The previous video needed some repairs and subsequently had to be reloaded on Youtube. The new link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTOmAcZoy8o

My family stayed here several years ago and loved it. I was inspired to write this song during an exquisite evening on the balcony. Below is the link to the song along with pictures from that trip. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vuq1wx3gdHI
