Great Location and Good Fishing from Dock

We really enjoyed the house and all the amenities that were provided. The dock allows for some good fishing and we caught some redfish and trout in the evenings. The proximity to the beach, stores and restaurants is great, would go back and stay again!!

Home was great as we needed pet friendly and a pier for our boat. House was clean and I gave it 4 stars because we had some sewage issues in the downstairs bunk room which led to us not using the downstairs bathroom the whole trip. But the place , although could use a good painting- was great. And the rental company did try to fix our issues but it was a holiday weekend.I would like to suggest a stainless reel rack in laundry room for use of pantry items bc counter space and storage space is very limited.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad Ole River Cottage met your pet-friendly needs and provided the pier for your boat, and that the home was clean. We apologize for the sewage issue in the downstairs bunk room and the inconvenience of not being able to use that bathroom; we understand how that affected your stay. Our team did attempt to address the problem during the holiday weekend, and we will follow up with maintenance and the owner to prevent this from happening again. Thank you also for the suggestions about freshening the paint and adding a stainless reel rack in the laundry room to improve pantry and counter storage — we will pass those recommendations along to the owner. We appreciate the 4-star rating and hope to welcome you back to the Gulf Coast in the future. Sunny Regards, Luxury Coastal Vacations

It would be best to let your guests know there is a third bathroom downstairs where the bunk beds are. Also calling a bunk bed room with no curtains a bedroom is misleading! After finding the third bathroom two showers later the sewage backed up into the shower. Glad it was our last day!
Stayed 7 nights in May 2026
Response from VrboOwner on Jun 11, 2026
Thank you for the feedback. We're sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. We will update the listing to clearly note that there is a third bathroom downstairs and to better describe the bunk area — it is an open bunk space without curtains and may not meet all guests’ expectations for a private bedroom. The sewage backup is unacceptable; we have alerted our maintenance team to investigate and repair the plumbing right away so this does not happen again. We only wish we had known during your stay so we could have sent someone out to resolve it. If you’d like to share any additional details, please message us through Vrbo.

great place and location

We enjoyed our stay. great location. The kids and adults enjoyed the pier. The only issue is that the house itself could use some updating and repair. Especially the deck of the house. The wifi was also spotty but this could have been a carrier issue.

Perdido Key

Great stay! This cabin is nestled among exotic looking low lying oak trees. Just yards away from the back bay with access to a pier and just right off the beach road - has it's own shell road to get to the cabin. Ample parking for us right next to the cabin. Has a really nice lookout tower/room upstairs. Very short drive or even a walk to the Crab Trap Restaurant with beach access from there. We loved the fried calamari while the kids played on the playset.

Great escape

A great escape. Even though there are other developments around, you still have a sense of privacy. It offers a great escape downstairs for the kids. The pier is excellent for watching wildlife and dolphins cruising the river. The management company offers excellent customer service!

Enjoyed our stay

This place is my dream home. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and looking out at the bay. Very relaxing. Beach is across the street. We also enjoyed walking to the Crab trap across the street for lunch. Couldn’t ask for a better vacation. We had a problem with the smoke detector beeping low battery and got it replaced within the hour. Loved the idea of separate bunk beds for our older teens. They had so much fun in that room. Will definitely be back!

Lots of space

Lots of space for our family (house and property). Loved the access to the dock for fishing and viewing. We used this daily. Parents of younger kids please note: bunk room and 3rd bathroom has separate outdoor first floor entrance not accessible from main 2nd floor living space. Beach access is short 5-10 min. walk down to Crab Trap and must cross street that can be busy at times. Water pressure is very low when running 2 different water sources at once.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Megan. We're glad the space and dock access added to your stay. We appreciate your notes regarding the bunk room layout, beach access, and water pressure.

Safe, enjoyable spot for the family!

We had a great time! The house and property were perfect for relaxing. Tranquil, safe area but still close to town. 5 minute walk to the beach directly across the street. Plenty of parking. The dogs loved the yard and the dock was fit for coffee in the morning or fishing throughout the day. Block the stairs and the wrap around porch could be utilized for a safe children’s play area. The bunk room downstairs was the perfect space for the teenagers. Reminders for the mommas…the house is under several live oak trees which is perfect for shade and privacy but with live oaks also comes critters, so bring spray …. Also recommend bringing a small fan to drown out the teenage noise from downstairs, and beach equipment. Really a wonderful spot for the family. Management was very professional, inviting, responsive, and even offered early check in! 10/10 recommend.

Poor representation!

The outside is poorly kept and the structure is rotting out under the house and stairs. This is a dangerous property and should not be rented until the structure is repaired. Inside had a heavy smell of mold upon arrival. Would not recommend due to safety and health reasons. The pictures do not show the property as it is today maybe 10 years ago.

Riverfront home

Took some time and phone calls to enter due to wrong code. After hours call center was extremely polite and got us in. Super clean place with beautiful dock and surroundings. Unfortunately we were told it was a three bedroom home and we could only access two. The downstairs room was locked off so one of my guests slept on couch. Amenities listed are very clear but be advised there are no extras such as beach towels, beach chairs, bikes, fishing poles, etc. typically found at other rentals. We bought our own and left them for future guests. All in all, it was a nice place, perfect location with many things to do in the area including boating, an array of restaurants, etc.
