Private Pool – Perdido Bay Views – Pet-Friendly Escape!

The house and the view were absolutely beautiful, and we enjoyed our stay overall. However, there are a few things future guests may want to be aware of before booking.First, there is no direct beach or water access from the back of the property. Fortunately, the neighbor next door was incredibly kind and allowed our children to use her beach area to access the water.Second, the grill pictured in the listing was not operational during our stay. We had planned to use it for several meals, so this was a bit disappointing.Additionally, the pool appeared to need a thorough cleaning, particularly on the bottom. We contacted the host to ask if there was a pool vacuum available for guest use. The host informed us that someone would come out the following day to address it, but no one arrived during our stay.Lastly, the dryer was not working. To the host’s credit, they did send someone to inspect it the day before we left. We were told the heating element had failed and a replacement part would need to be ordered. With five people staying in the house, not having a functioning dryer made laundry a challenge.Overall, the home and property are beautiful, and we had a nice vacation. I simply wanted to share these details so future guests can plan accordingly and know what to expect.

We have 2 new dogs and needed to prioritize a place that we bring them with us. The property is fenced in, but keep any eye on smaller dogs ( 10lbs) because of natural erosion at the fence line. We also wanted to find a place that wasn't as crowded as the touristy parts of the gulf. This property is just that. You can tell that someone raised a family there -- there is a grand old oak that shades the pool in the afternoon and the porch is really pleasant with excellent views all around. There is a yard along the side for dogs and kids to run. The bedrooms are on each corner with 2 adjacent, so they are fairly private. There is a gate at center back for accessing the bay and there is nice string lighting around the pool for warm nights. It's about a 15 minute drive by land to restaurants, so bring your food down with you so you can just unplug and check out. There is a Big Green Egg by the pool, though we did not use it during our stay. Management has just replaced the pool pump. Laundry, stove/oven, dishwasher, and internet were in good working order and the kitchen is stocked well. There is a public boat ramp nearby, and if you bring your boat, you'll have no trouble getting to a lot of restaurants and shopping across the bay. We met a lot of the locals walking our dogs in the evening around the neighborhood and everyone was very friendly. We plan to return again.

The pool was a swamp the day we checked in and the entire 2 weeks. Repairs were due the day we left. Very frustrating given that beach is 30-40mins away. Exterior of house was very unclean, we never used table and chairs under house - they had mildew and months of dirt on them. Grill was also not something we would use. Cobwebs and bugs on back porch, and outlets were unsafe to use with burn marks on them. This house needs a clean up!!!

Quiet home on the bay with all the amenities required for a great stay

The property is amazing. We needed a getaway for peace and quiet. This property is remote and private. We didn’t have to share the pool with anyone. We enjoyed watching the bay activity. The property is a 30-minute drive to Gulf Shores. Amenities were perfect. House was clean and bed was very comfy. We hated to leave but reality called.

Four kids and parents had great time.

We stayed for 6 nights for a family vacation. The house was the perfect size for our group of 9. Having our own pool and the view of the bay was really great. We spent a lot of time on the deck in the evenings. The patio furniture was comfy and there is evening a swing. There was one rain day and the covered patio and the area underneath the house made it nice to still enjoy being outside. The fenced in yard was great for my dogs. The bad…it rained and we woke up to water dripping on our face. The roof was leaking! We did let the rental company know and I was a little annoyed by the “oh well that will be a funny memory to write in your vacation journal”. I felt like it should’ve been more like “I’m so sorry this happened and what can we do to make this better?”. Next…spindles on the deck and front step railings are rotting and loose. My 2 yr old granddaughter almost fell off the deck because she was holding onto one that broke loose!! Thankfully we grabbed her and pulled her away. This railing and deck really needs replaced. The picnic table is rotten. My son sat on it the first day and the seat broke in half. This needs replaced as well. The kitchen had pretty much all the basics you need to prepare meals. There were pots and pans but anything we cooked in the stainless steel skillets stuck to them no matter what we did to stop it. The location is private and we loved that but it’s also 30 minutes to anything from here so that did get a little old.

The house is really nice, minus the missing leg on the couch. It is secluded, about 40 minutes from Gulf Shores, 25 from PCB and 30 from OB. The Pool is not heated which should be no issue for the summer. The hosts were very diligent in answering texts/emails before and during the stay. If you are looking for quiet and secluded spot with nice amenities this is your spot.

excellent location ,quiet rural, nice pool

Really nice spot with front bay view, we saw some pretty amazing sunrises. Quiet and peaceful. For us it was the perfect location that allowed us to bring our dog.
