EXTRA, EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT OUR NEW SEALY PERFECT SLEEPER QUEEN MATTRESS purchased September 2009. You asked for it, we got it! And while we were doing our part to stimulate the economy we also replaced our aging air conditioning and heating system. Even our Building 4 elevator is getting all new electronics! Now we need you to come and enjoy these and all the other amenities both inside Parrots Perch and all around the Gulf Shores Plantation complex we love. So while you're on your computer, check our calendar, choose your date, then call or email to reserve your roost at Parrots Perch, where you will find a palm and parrot theme and a beautiful view of the sugar sand beach and deep blue water of the Gulf of Mexico from the living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and its 4th floor balcony. As a matter of fact, if the living room draperies are open, you can see the water straight through from the front door as soon as you get it open!
At this spacious gated resort, your children will never be bored. They will love to go from swimming pool to swimming pool - there are seven on the property.(See if your family can spot the underwater bench at our newest pool with soothing jet sprays for your tired back?) This summer we added a big red wagon for hauling your stuff to the beach, which seems to be appreciated by our renters who wrote after their 09 visits. There is an outdoor shower right on the beach boardwalk for rinsing off sandy feet. Take flashlights and buckets and head for the beach with the children at nightfall where they will be so excited to try catching ghost crabs. A good place for your serious crab fishing is the small pier across the highway from the resort, which also has a public boat ramp.
You will enjoy the any-weather convenience of an indoor heated pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, washateria, and game room all in the same Building 4 as Parrots Perch, and a Starbucks restaurant and fitness room in Building 5 nearby. On the day or night you arrive, take your tennis racquets (or badminton racquets)and enjoy some exercise after your long trip. No problem if its already dark, just punch the button on the fence that lights up the courts at night.
Parents can watch children play from the wide deck of the condo - the tennis courts are right across the parking lot in back. And courtside you will see a basketball goal - there is a basketball inside the condo for your use while visiting. Some other recreational features are shuffleboard,volleyball, and a golf putting range where you can practice before heading over to the adjacent championship course at Kiva Dunes, our sister complex.
Condo specifics include a queen bed in the blue-and-white master bedroom with private matching bath. An unusual window treatment here features battenburg lace above the white wooden blinds with a parrot perched on its wooden cornice. In this room there is a new 19-inch flat screen television/DVD combination and a clock radio with correct time kept by satellite. Another condo feature that many guests appreciate is the WIRELESS INTERNET SERVICE so bring your laptop computer!
The jungle green guest room includes plantation shutters,twin beds, and original art parrot pictures. There is a small TV in an armoire/chest of drawers with mirrored doors for hair and makeup arranging. A separate bath serves these guests.
The living room contains a large TV armoire serving the striped sofabed with pullout baskets behind its louvered doors for sofa sleepers to use. Armoire doors have also been fitted with mirrors for these guests as well as the 27-inch televison,DVD, and VCR. Lined draperies keep out the morning sun for our sofa sleepers.
The kitchen has plenty of beach-themed dishes and microwave,coffeepot, blender, hand mixer, toaster, hot pot, and plenty of pots and pans. All you have to bring is your food, spices, and paper towels to be the kitchen gourmet or just to boil shrimp in the large pot we keep on hand. There is a Parrot Dining Table you'll just have to see! And you will find a parrot on the wall welcoming you to 4406 where we know you'll have as wonderful a time as we do every time we go!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
My rental site has directed me to describe why I chose to buy a vacation rental in this location. Are they kidding?? Have they never been here? I don't think so or there would be no such silly question! My extended family has been vacationing at Gulf Shores beaches forever. When my aunt died, there was a beach poem in her funeral service program I cut out and pasted in my first condo guest book. Who wouldn't choose to buy a vacation home in this place?? It has the beach, the pools, the tennis courts and everything a vacationer needs. Indoor pool in my building. Now I always have a happy place to go and enjoy, to take family and friends, and my renters love it too - just read their notes in the "Guest Comments" section!
Why the Owner Chose Gulf Shores Plantation
When I come here to open the door is instant happiness: I didn't want it "Homey". It's different, its a vacation from home. Home is where I leave my problems along with the cherry furniture to deal with another day. Found a table with parrots painted on it. Painted one on the wall. Perched one on a bedroom cornice. Bought 2 parrot paintings from the Artists Gallery for the guest bedroom. Got 3 TV's in the place for instant escapism should it rain! Can walk downstairs to the indoor pool and hot tub without getting wet on the way to get wet! Outside the condo no barking dogs, no speeding cars or honking horns. All you hear are laughing children and happy shouts. It's Heaven!
