“Nice Home On The Bay” Exactly as advertised and value priced for beach trip at peak season. Very nice CLEAN unit in beach home in a small cove on Hudson Bay. Convenient access to Marina, quick walk to the bay, and less than 5 minutes to several choices of public beach accesses, three of which we utilized, all wonderful. Owner and unit manager responded quickly to email/call with brief wifi outage (no fault of owner) and manager showed up at unit to trouble-shoot issue within minutes. Unit C is upstairs, not appropriate for anyone who cannot climb stairs to enter an apartment. Loft bedroom was perfect for two young adult daughters. Living/den area was very clean and roomy for family of four plus family dog. Master bedroom average size. All mattresses, including sofa mattress very comfortable. If interested in kayaking or canoeing, this rental would be ideal, as there is a public launch within 25-50 yards, bring your own and fishing gear, lots of old wooden structures near the marina that should be great fishing. Charter cruisers and fishing are also located next door.

“Everything we hoped for...” This is our second year to visit Gulf Shores, and the accommodations were fantastic. The location was ideal. The house itself was in great shape, clean and roomy. We had 6 adults, with more than enough room for everyone. The pool was an added bonus, as well as the outdoor grill area, which we used every night. It was large enough to share with the other units at the same time, The owners were very responsive, and answered my text messages immediately. I would certainly stay here again. Everything was as advertised, and then some. It has been a great trip this year, and I highly recommend this property.

“Beach 2017” We loved staying in this condo! It was absolutely beautiful! If I had any questions the owner was very prompt in answering. She was so good to work with. We will definitely stay there the next time we are at Orange Beach.

“Peaceful, homey cabin on bay near Gulf beaches” We loved this cabin! I hung out on the wayside dock with a crane next door while watching beautiful sunsets. The Gulf beaches are close by, easy to access, and not crowded. The cabin reminds me of what Gulf Shores used to be like before all the development on the beach. This is a wonderful site for a family vacation.

“Awesome!” Great place for the family! Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels. Will definitely book again.

“This is a perfect condo for a small family.” The condo is conveniently located on the beach with excellent restaurants and shopping nearby. The rental is very well equipped with items you need for a relaxing stay. Everything went very smooth while we were there ...no trouble at all. The property is NOT so big that is overly crowded on elevators or beach. NO long waits for an elevator and lots of space on beach to spread out. We'll consider this rental again!!!!

“Great condo!” We really enjoyed our stay at the Purple Parrott. The condo was very nice and clean and had everything we needed. They even had Netflix. The kitchen was very well equipped...including a blender and crockpot. It was a short walk to both pools and the gym. The outdoor pool was wonderful and had plenty of lounge chairs. We loved being able to take our own drinks to the pool. The beach was less than a mile away. This was the first time we had not stayed directly on the beach, but it was a much better bargain than a hotel room. We would definitely stay here again.

“Wonderful Christmas!” This condo was so much more than the pictures depict! It was a wonderful place to stay for Christmas! Dana was the absolute best person to work with! She quickly returns any phone calls and emails. She was even nice enough to text us to see if we had everything we needed!

“comfortable and convenient” We recently spent a long weekend at the Purple Parrot for an impromptu family reunion. We chose Yosanmine 10ad for its location near the pool and its proximity to Jump Up 5ad, where the rest of our family stayed. We ate meals and relaxed in 5ad, but during the time we spent in 10ad, we found it to be well equipped, comfortable, nicely decorated, and convenient for our purposes. The bed is firm, which we appreciated. My only recommendation is for the bathroom towels to be upgraded. They were thin and needing to be replaced. The management company is stellar, and we really appreciated the personal attention, friendliness, and responsiveness of the staff. The weather was great during our visit in the first week of October and we especially enjoyed being poolside in the glorious mornings.

“Great vacation” This was one the best vacations that my family has been on in a along time

“homely accomodation” accomodation was very clean. we had no problem during our stay.The staff at perdido rental office were very friendly and helpful.I would recommend this accomodation to anyone who wants privacy and a pleasant holiday.

“Very relaxing” We very much enjoyed our stay. All the comforts of home right there at your fingertips. The resort had a laid back feel that contributed to the overall vacation experience. Close beach access made it all the more convenient.

“Wonderful Cottage -- Unless it rains 17 inches!!!” We loved 18C and Purple Parade. The location near the pristine beaches and glassy green water of Johnson Beach were perfect. And what a deal ... $8 pass for a week. We went to the beach with lifeguards and those without. We loved it. We had a couple of small glitchesn with the condo, mainly trying to use the ice maker... but the decore and extras provided were great. The giant was great, but suggest you leave instructions on how to use the shower. the most features were above great! Leda at the management got us into the place with only a few hours notice. Only negative was when we faced the record breaking rain on the morning we were leaving. They knew next to nothing about the evacation or driving dangers. Waiting 4 hours for the rain to slow so we could load our car... water was over the second step and pouring our of the sky like an open faucet

“A Little Piece of Heaven” This was the 2nd year our family chose to stay at the Purple Parrot Resort. We love everything about it...incredible value, location, the pool area, live entertainment and cleanliness of the unit. Jd and staff are the best, excellent customer service! Looking forward to a Girlfriend Getaway on Labor Day week-end!

“Great Week-End” We have a grandchild in the Navy and this rental works very well for the Pensacola area. Our last 4 visits we have stayed in a hotel which does not work as well as renting this condo did for all involved. This rental allowed kids to come to us so it was more like a vacation for them as well. Condo was clean and well stocked for our needs. Area was very nice and close to lots of things to do.

“Laid Back November Vacation” We stayed at Boogie Man in November, visiting our son, who was attending school at NaS Pensacola. Unit is in a good location with ample parking right out front and only steps from the indoor pool and gym. Easy drive over to the beach with a couple of nearby public parking lots. The unit was spacious,comfortable and nicely decorated. Good internet connection was nice. Would like to see a few additions to the kitchen like "normal size" bowls and cups. The front screened porch was nice but the plastic furniture should be upgraded. My wife pointed out that the master bed was quite soft. Overall, wWe would gladly pick the unit when we are back in the area.

“Very well appointed place to spend a vacation.” We thought to vacation home was very attractive, well situated, and quite satisfying for our needs. The only negative we had was the inability to get the broadband internet service to function.

“Nice Condo - Ocean View From 2nd Floor” Pleasant and helpful staff. Very accommodating. The condo was clean and well maintained. Both indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs. The outdoor pool is quite scenic with its own waterfall. The only thing more I could have asked for would have been a large flat screen TV (the condo only had a standard TV - not HD). They offer a military discount.

“Very delightful and restful” Service was excellent. Home was well stocked with cooking and cleaning goods. More channels on the TV would be good, and teh wifi worked well.

“relaxing” the house was really relaxing and quiet. one of the chairs on the porch you couldnt sit in because it was broke but that was the only flaw

“Clean, but in need of repairs” Our stay was pleasant - it was easy enough to check-in and get settled, despite the lack of on-site management 24/7. The rental was mostly clean, save for the roaches in the bathtub (eww). I'm guessing no one had been in the condo since the last renters (and maid) several weeks before. But, several doors, drapes, etc., were broken and in need of repair. From my understanding speaking with people at the resort, the previous owners lost the property; and, it is currently being managed by a temporary agency. That's fine, but be aware of it up-front. This property is not what it once was. The pool was probably the best part of the resort. We were there shortly after Hurricane Isaac, and there was hardly anyone there at the resort or on Perdido Key. And, that made it very peaceful. The neighbors were friendly (some folks apparently live in the condos, in addition to renters). Mosquitos are plentiful, and a neighbor killed a cottonmouth snake outside the condo one evening, so be aware of your surroundings. All in all, it was a good stay - I feel like the stay should have been discounted, as it obviously wasn't summer season anymore. But, we paid what we paid. For the size of the condo and amenities, it was a good value.

“Thanksgiving Stay” What a vacation. We came to Pensacola to spend the holiday with our son who is in the Marines. Our stay at the bungalow was so very relaxing. I was very pleased with how clean and comfortable the rental was. The only thing I would do different is get one with a screened in porch. I wanted to sleep with the door open but was afraid the raccoons would come visit. Being close to the beach was also nice. I do wish there was a better view of the water, but I read three books and enjoyed the birds.

“Comfortable, Very Clean, Quiet & Relaxing!!” Great stay that exceeded expectations. All the amenities were exactly as stated on the website. The unit felt like a home away from home. All that is required is to unpack and bring in groceries. We enjoyed the beach chairs and beach umbrella. The restuarants nearby were wonderful. We already reccomended this location to a friend.

“Great Stay in 37c” I was very surprised that the condo was better in person than on the internet. Everything was great except for the bed. The bed was hard and very uncomfortable. It should be replaced asap. It was quiet and clean and all the items you need to survive on vacation. We would definitely stay at the Purple Parrot again, maybe not in 37c though.

“Wonderful time” Our family of four enjoyed every moment of our week long stay in 8ad Island Paradise at the Purple Parrot. The condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable.
