About this property

On the Beach ... on the Gulf of Mexico ...

(10/12/2018): Perdido Key of Pensacola in the western most panhandle of Florida survived Hurricane Michael. We are fully functional and the area is as pristine as ever. Our prayers go our to our Gulf Coast neighbors to the east and we encourage you help with a donation for the area through the American Red Cross
================================================
The intro-photo is of the actual beach in front of the Condominium. We are located on Perdido Key, Florida, between Pensacola, Florida and Orange Beach, Alabama. "Perdido" means "lost" in the Spanish language, and Perdido Key is sometimes called "Lost Key" by local residents and businesses.

Perdido Key, is a barrier island located in extreme northwest Florida and southeast Alabama. The Florida district of the Gulf Islands National Seashore is located at the east end of the island. No more than a few hundred yards wide in most places, Perdido Key stretches some 16 miles (26 km) from Perdido Pass Bridge near Orange Beach, Alabama, to just across from Santa Rosa Island near Pensacola, Florida.

Environmentalists and outdoor enthusiasts enjoy Perdido Key because it is one of the few remaining unblemished stretches of wilderness in the Florida Panhandle. Miles of preserves offer a wealth of opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and bird watching. Dolphin watch excursions and sailing tours are popular with tourists, as are moonlight cruises on the bay. Perdido Key’s two state parks and an expanse of National Seashore are ripe for spotting gray foxes and blue herons in the wild. Local outfitters offer guided tours, but self-guided nature trails at Big Lagoon and Johnson Beach are perfect chances for solitude.

Location & View:
The condominium is on the beach and adjacent to Perdido Key State Park and across the street from a great little sea food restaurant. The condo, on the 1st Floor, has a wonderful beach side waterfront view looking south and east at the surf. The northern side deck looks out over Perdido Key Drive and Old River with its boat traffic.

You'll have private parking for 2 cars as well as private access to Perdido Key Beach. An outdoor shower is provided to wash off the sand and saltwater when returning from the beach and Gulf of Mexico . . . on the water side of the condo.



Golf (just up the road), boating, fishing & blue-crabbing along with many other attractions are also right here for you. Shopping and dining abound and are easily reached by car or walking . . . or boat! If you prefer a small condo complex, this is the place for you with only two stories and 10 units.

The Lost Key Golf Club is located right here on Perdido Key ... with additional courses located nearby. World class charter fishing is also available. Thinking about a beach wedding, then you have found the perfect location! We'll even hook you up with a local beach wedding planner.Your hosts live on Perdido Key, approximately 1 mile away ... and will be pleased to assist you with recommendations, directions or resolving issues that might come up.

Not as expected

We rented this condo for the beautiful location next to the state park and gorgeous beach.Unfortunately, when we arrived, it was clear that while the floors and beds had been cleaned, other areas had not--toilets were soiled, sinks had toothpaste, counters/surfaces had visible dust/marks, and comforters had stains. We kindly let the owner know, as requested in condo instructions. Despite the cleaner returning, a short time with a spray bottle and cloth was not enough to address that a deeper clean was needed. We again kindly let the owner know about the areas with continued concerns.The response to this was different than we expected, as the owner replied that they had never had a concern like this. We found this confusing, as other reviews had mentioned the condo needing a deep clean in the past. We felt that we had to let the owner know, as directed in the condo instructions, as they may not be aware or could assume that we had left a mess. Unfortunately, the owner did not respond when we explained why we had brought these concerns up. We did not ask for a deep clean during our stay (nor was it offered), as communication was already uncomfortable and addressing this was taking away from our time. We expect a level of wear, but the overall cleanliness, along with staining of linens and furniture, was different than we have experienced in many other VRBOs. Without further communication to help us understand, we were left feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome.

Great location

The condo complex is very well taken care of. The location to the beach is just a very short distance and the complex is close to several great restaurants and shops. The unit itself could use a little upkeep. It was very dusty on lampshades, overhead lights and the guest bathroom vanity. The air vents are also concerning with black growth on them. I'm unsure what it was but as a person with allergies to most everything I had to use my emergency inhaler multiple times a day while in the condo. But again the location and proximity to the beach was ideal. This complex is right next to the public beach access, which does increase beach traffic to the right of the complex.

Beautiful Location

This is a very nice location. The unit was clean and had amenities that we could use; coffee maker, fridge, etc. A few simple upgrades could make it much more enjoyable; The back sliding glass door is very hard to open and shut, if not replacing it, just adding a handle would be helpful. Things like new towels, a regular garbage can in both bathrooms, a few more glasses in the kitchen, could go a long way. We very much enjoyed our stay and Paul was a good host. Thank you!

A week away

It was nice for me and my family to get away for a week. Everything was close by and we were right on the beach so that was great, especially for the kids. We were able to cook which saved us a ton of money and also do laundry so we could have everything clean before we left. We will be back if we get the opportunity.

Quick Beach Trip

The condo was perfect for our family of 5. Our crew included 2 adults and 3 kiddos (8,4,3). The property was clean and just as pictured. We loved the close proximity to the beach and the washing station to get most of the sand off! We would definitely stay again!

Excellent Place!

We loved our stay at this condo. Very clean and fit our family perfectly. We enjoyed being located on the beach and having a private building walkout. Due to the size of the condo building, it was so quiet and peaceful. The home had everything we needed plus some items to truly enjoy our visit. The beach items were definitely a bonus!! We would definitely stay again.

If you want to stay in a large condo with noise and crowded beaches “don’t “ rent this condo. This is a small quiet condo building with uncrowded beaches. Condo is clean and has all the amenities you would need for your stay. Paul is a great host and lives 1 mile away in case you need him. Restaurants are very close. Numerous sightseeing opportunities. We plan a return trip!

Excellent Beach Front Rental!

It was our first time staying at a beach front spot—would 10/10 recommend!! Smaller condo building with a very short boardwalk stroll to a private beach area right next to perdido key state park. GORGEOUS area and always love our time in Perdido Key! When we arrived we did notice some areas in the condo that were missed with cleaning—but nothing too concerning. Overall an amazing location, condo. Will definitely plan on coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Paul

Host profile image
We are a family that loves the beach, boating and generally enjoying the outdoors. We live just a mile down the road and about 500 yards from the beach "as the crow flys" on Old River. The Key is laid back living with great restaurants and entertainment within a few miles ...

Why they chose this property

Living in Pensacola, we wanted a place to go to on the beach. Perdido Key was always a favorite with its great beach and laid back life style. We were fortunate to find our little condo and used it a lot before moving to Perdido Key in our residence on the river. Every once and a while, when the condo isn't rented we used it for a night or two to enjoy being right on the beach.

What makes this property unique

Côté de Mer (means "On The Beach"). it's a spacious and airy all-on-one 1st level 1250 square foot unit located in small two-story private beach front condominium that comfortably sleeps up to 4 adults + 2 children in 2 bedrooms. It's kitchen and large family room are centrally located between the two bedrooms. Every room except one of the bedrooms have a view of the beach, Gulf of Mexico and/or Old River. The Côté de Mer's master bedroom and family room share a deck that looks out over the beach and the clear blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The Kitchen and dinning area have a deck that looks out over the "Ole River" side of Perdido Key. Golf (just up the road), boating, fishing & blue-crabbing along with many other attractions are also right here for you. Shopping and dining abound and are easily reached by car or walking.
