About this property

Great vacation get away. Private 2-Story, 2-Bedroom Villa, Cottage #3B

The cold winter weather won't effect your time in the water at the Purple Parrot indoor heated pool. The indoor pool, exercise area and sauna open for your enjoyment. The large outdoor grotto-style pool, next to the Tiki bar and grill, is open for you. They offer a different band every night, playing those great oldies, or country music! Of course, the entire Perdido Key area has suffered some damage from Hurricane Sally, but all of the beaches are open and beautiful.
The Sun-Kissed Cottage condo is a fantastic vacation spot that has been newly painted with great coastal colors throughout located in the heart of the Purple Parrot. It is located just steps away from the indoor pool, fitness center, saunas and is near the outdoor pool area and tiki bar as well. For check-in/out details you may call the property managment office at 850-492-9999.
This Purple Parrot Village Resort, 2-Bedroom Villa has been stunningly decorated and has a lively Caribbean feel from the moment you step inside! The villa has a king bed with flat screened TV in the master bedroom, a king size bed and two full size beds in the newly updated second bedroom and both bedrooms have their own en suite bathroom to give the feel of two master suites. The condo has also been equipped with a secure high-speed wireless internet connection, a deck on the lower level and an open-air full deck on the upper level, as well as a small balcony accessible through the second bedroom. Both bedrooms have their own television with full access to cable. (NOTE: At this time reservations will only be made via a credit card.)

A little history about Perdido Key:
The Key was discovered by the Spanish in the 15th century and literally translates as "Lost Island." Sixty-five percent of Perdido Key, Florida is protected from development by state and federal parks. The Purple Parrot Village Resort features Caribbean-themed villas, a lagoon pool surrounded by palm trees, a continuous waterfall cave and surrounds a bridge-accessible island hot tub. For rainy days, utilize the heated indoor pool, hot tub, gym, and saunas. The on-site Tiki Bar features nightly music and a delicious menu. Johnson Beach - part of the federal national seashore - is a short two-minute drive from the Purple Parrot Village Resort, allowing access to some of the most magnificent white sand beaches in the world.

Great Stay! But outdated check in

We love this resort and this is our second stay there! This property was very clean and located right near the indoor pool, gym, and tiki bar! Parking was also directly in front which was super convenient. My only complaint is that we had to go to a separate location to pick up a physical key and return it upon checkout. I use sites like this to book regularly and couldn’t tell you the last time I had to use a physical key vs. a key code. The door was even key code capable. I understand updating that code constantly may be difficult for the hosts, but every other property I have booked in the last few years have done it. Otherwise, this was a great property!!! Thanks!!

Nice Overall

Place was nice overall. Plenty of room for our family trip of four adults. Nice pool/bar (though it was a bit chilly due to the time of year - not their fault). Beach access (and a Publix for groceries) was nearby.

Home away from home

This place was perfect for a quiet, simple setting but drivable to all the big stuff. We loved the Blue Angels and the Naval Base. Walk to the beach was perfect! House was nicely equipped and decorated.

Good location + a few notes

Great location! Good size for families. Beach is walkable but we took bikes. There are some paved pathways that made riding/walking easy. Close to the Publix for grocery needs. Not a ton of restaurants in the area but at least four within walk/bike distance. The resort was mostly families, in addition to being gated to keep it secure. The sand and pool were nice (albeit the pool was cold). Indoor pool needs attention. Did NOT love that the tiki bar is directly across the street and had music every single night (including people screaming karaoke). Space was clean, beds comfortable. Except Master bathroom had a musty smell and noticeable water damage on the door trim. It seemed it was just painted over which is why it still smelled. I ran the fan every time I was in the bathroom to try to lessen it. Only additional note for the owner would be the lack of a few "modern connivence's". Coffee maker is traditional (not a Kurieg) so we had to bring filters instead of pods. Televisions are cable only so there's no way to access any streaming services. I didn't even think to check on this as most modern TVs seem to be smart TVs. Had issues reaching owner as his voicemail was full and slow to respond to emails. There were no pool bracelets but I luckily ran into a property worker who could get me some. Additionally visitors should be aware of the new beach laws in the area which mean all the beach front resorts have the area in front of them roped off to the wet sand.

Great spring break trip

We had a wonderful time at Tommy's place for our spring break. The house is beautiful and well stocked for cooking needs, bedding, etc. Check in was tricky because the keyless entry code did not work, you need to go to the vacation rental property forst and get actual keys. My only criticism would be for whoever cleans the property, the master bathroom was not clean by a long stretch when we first arrived, it had clean towels but there was hair everywhere. So I'm sure that could be addressed easily. We did have to leave for a bit for a realty showing of this property but Tommy was kind enough to say he would give us a $50 refund for the inconvenience. Overall, the house was great for our family of 6! The screened in porch was a delight as was the lit up top balcony. We stayed out there often listening to the live music at the bar. The outdoor is beautiful, definitely not heated so it was very cold but we had fun. The indoor pool is heated though and there is a nice indoor and outdoor hot tub, super close to this property.

Great Location, Friendly workers at the tiki bar

You get the whole shabang while staying at the Purple Parrot. Not only is it gated, you have access to so many ammenities. Such as, an indoor pool, gym, tiki bar, and an outdoor pool. It’s in a quiet area with close beach access. If you are ever wondering what to do in the area hop on over to the Tiki Bar and they will be more than happy guide you to what you are looking for!

Fabulous vacation spot!

We had the pleasure of staying at this quaint home in the Purple Parrot. It was everything the ad stated and more. We found the house clean and well stocked. The beds were comfy! The Tiki bar was an added bonus with live music nightly. And what was really appreciated was corresponding with the owner, Tommy. He answered questions in a timely manner and was very helpful with all questions. I would HIGHLY recommend if you want a place in this area, to check it out. Thanks again, Tommy!!

This cottage is a great getaway. Very conveniently located to the beach and restaurants. It was spotless and worked perfectly for our family. Excellent communication with the property owner, who offered some tips for our first trip to Perdido Key. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay, and we hope to come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Tommy Douglas

Host profile image
I am a real estate investor that often stays in this property myself and I love it!. Retired from the U.S. Air Force in 1990, as a Master Sergeant. I was stationed at Tyndall AFB for 5 years and wanted to be near the Gulf Coast again. After marrying, I finally convinced my wife to go visit there and we were both sold on this property. While looking for a nice place to stay and live we found the Purple Parrot. It has everything you could want in a vacation, or even a permanent place to stay! So we stay whenever we can.

Why they chose this property

It has all of the amenities that you could ask for in a vacation property, including 2 nice size bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, fully furnished kitchen, washer and dryer and nice furnishings through-out.

What makes this property unique

There are too many unique benefits to mention, but I would say the huge grotto style pool with water fall is the best! And the Tiki Bar and Grill, with live music and karaoke, at pool side, make it a true vacation.
