Our own little paradise

We had the best time at this property with our family and friends. Being close to a few restaurants and the boat rental place meant fewer trips in our car. The beach was gorgeous and never busy where we were at. We loved being directly on the bay and spent a lot of nights fishing and checking our crab traps in the morning. We can’t wait to go back.

Great Place to Enjoy Perdido Beach

We had a wonderful time at this property. We had a large family group and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms worked very well for us. We couldn't ask for a better location - the property has an area right at the back of the house where you can swim or kayak with the kayaks they provided. We were across the street and a short walk to a public beach access. The property owner was very responsive to any questions or requests we had. Great place to stay!!

Perfect Beach getaway

What a great location! We had access to a little ocean right out the back door, Perfect for the kids. The adults even took a morning ride in the kayak. The views where beautiful from the back porch and the beach is right across the street. Perdido Keys was the perfect location as it was not as congested as the other beach destinations. The house was clean and provided any and everything we might have needed for a relaxing vacation. We can’t wait to book this house again next year! Highly recommended!

Great home!!

We had a great time! My daughter, her husband along w their 3 young sons plus my other 2 daughters and their boyfriends stayed in the house with my husband and I and we had plenty of room. My grandsons loved playing at the little beach in the backyard almost more than the ‘big’ beach across the street. The guys enjoyed fishing from the dock, my son in law fished everyday although he didn’t catch anything. We all sat out on the deck of the house to eat dinner and listened to live music drift over from Flora Bama while watching the boats and jet skis go up and down the river. The sunsets are amazing from the back of the house and we also saw dolphins out in the water! I loved this home and it’s location, my family told me at different times how much they loved it as well. I am so thankful and appreciative of April and her family for renting this home out. We have some great family memories from this vacation that I’ll treasure forever!

Great location and beautiful place to stay! We had 9 adults and 3 little ones, and had plenty of room. Loved spending the evenings on the deck(s) or even hanging out in the living room. The kids loved the little beach and the adults enjoyed it too :) Short walk to the beach across the street which we did everyday as well. Can also walk to plenty restaurants, bars, ice cream, etc. We would definitely stay here again!

Family Reunion

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. There were 11 of us ranging in age from 18-76. The accommodations were comfortable and we had plenty of room to spread out. We just loved being on the water. We went kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing…. This was such a relaxing place to hang out. The location is great—the beach is just a short walk away, it is walking distance to FloraBama and boat rentals. Short drive to a variety of shopping venues and attractions. We loved it!!

Loved the sunsets

My family and my sister's family stayed for a week. There were 10 adults, a three year-old and a 6 month old. There was plenty of room for all of us. The bed in the master was so comfortable!! The house has everything you need from kitchen wear to fishing poles. My husband and brother-in-law loved walking next door to the FloraBama Yacht Club for a cold beverage and a snack. My very favorite thing was enjoying a glass of wine while watching the beautiful sunset every night. We took our paddle boards and were able to leave right from the back door into the Old River. April was very responsive to questions. My only negative is that the beach access that had previously been available to guests had been taken away so we had to walk down the road just a bit and go to the beach on an unofficial and slightly rough trail. Lots of sand spurs in feet and it was difficult to transport a three year old and all of the beach equipment. April did make us aware of this before we went. This is just something to consider if you like easy beach access.

Great

The home was perfect with plenty of room for the 10 of us. The dock was a great place to fish as well as sitting out some crab traps. The beach area was also enjoyed some by the family. Ole River grill is a easy walk around the fence along the shoreline and great food and drinks. I would suggest if your going to try and go out to eat with a large group as we did 1 or 2 nights that you go onto opentable a couple weeks before you go and make reservations if during peak times. Hope to be able to enjoy the home again soon.
