Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Take that long-awaited vacation to the salty breezes and warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and make Purple House East your home-away-from-home! With beach access mere steps away and a shared, outdoor pool on-site, you and your guests will have no shortage of ways to soak up sunshine each and every day. Inside, you will find beachy colors, fun furnishings, and an open layout that will make entertaining the whole group a blast. The well-equipped, full kitchen will be the hub for cooking and reminiscing, as it is equipped with all of the appliances of home and breakfast bar seating along the main counter. As the smells of a delicious meal fill the room, everyone else can kick back on one of the sofas and watch a movie or favorite show on the flatscreen TV.

When it is time to hit the hay, this home features four wonderful bedrooms that guarantees everyone their own peaceful and quiet space. The first bedroom is located on the lower floor featuring a king bed and an en suite bathroom. Head upstairs and you will find three more bedrooms. Two offer king beds and en suite bathroom, while the other will be great for the kids with two twin-over-full bunks and an attached bathroom.

the stay as a whole we're good. great location, home was perfect in size. we had several issues. which management responded very quickly. the place wasn't clean like management expects. The management group made the trip really great. and so the trip was really good. The only recommendation I would make is, hire me or someone else to clean your properties.

Large home but not safe for children or anyone with mobility issues
This is a large home that can accommodate a lot. It was spacious but that’s about all I can say positive about it. IF YOU HAVE YOUNG KIDS THIS HOUSE IS NOT SAFE!!!! There was bugs!!! I’m just hoping and praying we didn’t come back with bedbugs. There is multiple cockroaches even in places like the ice maker. The deck is really in disrepair and not safe at all. You cannot properly latch any of the gates to ensure littles are not getting to the pool. It’s basically like a fully open pool. It was very nerve wrecking. You can’t let your kids play on the deck because of the possibility of getting to the pool or wiggling the deck and falling over. It’s very insecure. This home is not clean. The moment we stepped in the floor was sticky. It could be a great affordable option but really it needs a lot of love to make it decent. The beach access was great.

Great price and location, but disappointing conditions throughout
We were extremely surprised with our recent stay at the Purple House East given the description, photos, 4.5 star rating, and previous reviews. The location, proximity to the beach, the space the home provided, and the price/night were definitely the positive features. Unfortunately, the negatives outweigh these previous aspects. Upon our arrival, the renters of the west side had at least six vehicles and a motorhome parked all around the property so we did not have any parking spaces. The property itself is in need of updates and maintenance throughout. On the main level, there were many cracked floor tiles, the finish was peeling off of the kitchen cabinets, some of the furniture was broken/in need of replacement, water stains and peeling drywall tape were on ceilings and walls, and there was mold on the bathroom ceiling, which had been sprayed with a mold remover that has streaked the wall paint. We also had bugs crawling across the floor on several occasions. The ice maker seemed to be an awesome feature, until it started overheating, indicating it was in need of service, and had bugs in the bottom. The management company was called on our second day to report the issue and we were told they would send someone out the following day, but no one ever called or showed up to repair it throughout the remainder of our stay. The second floor had more of the same conditions with needed drywall repair, peeling wall paint, rusting light fixtures, finishes peeling off of the shower/tub, closet shelving ripped out of the wall in one closet, scratches from pets on the back of the doors/trim (although it is stated pets aren't allowed). In addition there were loose door handles (that I had to tighten or else they would have fallen off), a loose shower handle, dead bugs in light globes, TV remotes with missing batteries, and a missing blind on a patio door. There were major safety concerns on the exterior of the property. The patio and stairway railings were extremely loose, gates that didn't latch or were broken, and there were nails sticking up in all of the decking. The deck railing can be easily wiggled. You cannot lean on it and we had to warn the children not to lean on it or touch it for fear that it would collapse. I'm not sure if all these issues are deferred maintenance by the owners or a lack of communication between the management company and the owners regarding the current condition of the property.

Plenty of room
The purple house east was perfect for our family of 7. Kitchen is well stocked with kitchen necessities! You will most likely need trash bags and paper towels. Access to beach is just past the houses in the first row and the pool was perfect. Views from the upper deck are spectacular!

Relaxing and plenty of room!
This place was very relaxing for a large family. You are steps away from the beach. The house is ocean front, but there is home just in front of you, but don’t let that deter you from booking because you are steps away from the beach. We could hear the waves and see some of the beach from our balconies. We loved the pool area and were very happy to know they provided floats, beach toys and even a propane grill. We’re we’re able to grill and watch the kids play in the pool. We saw some of the best sunrises and sunsets at this place. Everyone was comfortable having their own bathroom. Also there is cable tv in each room so everyone had spaces to watch their own programs. Kitchen is stocked for cooking. And they had an ice machine. I loved that feature for our coolers for the beach!

Quick Getaway
We stayed at Purple House East this past weekend. House was perfect for a large group and very close to the beach. There are updates needed and we really wished it had a working ice maker but overall would definitely stay again!
