Summary:
Welcome to The Boat House!

This spacious 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom, pet-friendly private retreat sits right on Perdido Bay.

The Space:
★ABOUT THE HOME★
Before you settle in, claim your bedroom of choice, and sip your coffee on the covered dock, let’s get some of those up-front logistical questions answered:
✔ 6 bedrooms + more for 23 guests: This property sleeps up to 23 guests across 6 private bedrooms, one living room (home to 2 sofa beds), and one cozy sleeping nook (home to two twin beds).
✔ 7 bathrooms: With 7 full bathrooms available in the house, you’ll never have to fight over who’s been hogging the shower the longest.
✔ Parking for ~8 vehicles + boat trailers: The driveway and roundabout has room for at least 8 vehicles plus 1-2 boat trailers. Go ahead and tell Uncle Bill he can bring his new sports car to show off. You’ve got the space. (And if you’re worried about whether all of your vehicles will fit, just let us know how many you’re bringing–we’ll confirm)!
✔ Private boat dock: While you’re at it, bring your boat along, too! As a bonus, the dock has a covered seating area and a wet bar. You might even end up spending more time outside than inside. We wouldn’t blame you if you did.
✔ TWO full kitchens: Are you planning a mega-feast? Or do you need a secret test kitchen before you deploy your new pasta salad recipe to the fam? The reasons don’t matter to us. In this home, you can make use of two fully-equipped kitchens and two full dining tables at your leisure.
✔ Washer, dryer, + iron board: Get your beach clothes looking good as new for another day. The full washer and dryer can easily handle everyone’s laundry during your stay.
✔ Pets allowed: Bring your furrier members of the family along, too! We welcome up to 2 dogs per stay at this home, pending a $250 pet fee.
