This was the most amazing house. The layout is great. There is everything you need in the kitchen, etc. I loved all the seating and big TV in the living room.The outside is the real key, though. The gorgeous pool and bay just steps away from your door can't be beat. We didn't have any issues, so we only talked to the hosts coming and going, but they were super helpful and thought of everything.

We had a great time

The house is beautiful - brand new and very accommodating for a family. Plenty of space for each of us, great kitchen and living area, wonderful pool and outside activities. Went kayaking, played cornhole and volleyball, and walked to the most beautiful beach across the street. Neighborhood is quiet and private. Great for a family getaway!

Spring Break 2023

This was by far our favorite rental experience. From the booking, to the actual stay, communication was excellent. The property was super clean and well maintained. We were very impressed with all the little details that were thought of such as the beach wagon and toys so that we didn't have to pack our own, the pool floats, life jackets and kayaks made all the water activities even better. We will most definitely be back and hope to rent other properties also owned by Mr. Bailey. Thank you!

Perfection!

We loved the house and we loved the area! The house is overflowing with amenities that we underestimated (ie. beach chairs- there are many, they’re fancy, and they’re brand new)! There is a lot of beach gear which makes beach days super easy. The refrigerator by the pool area is full-size, which is nice to know for large groups! An overall fabulous week and great rental experience!!

Perfect Property

Fantastic stay at the Castaway Cottage. Location was excellent - very quiet; easy to get to the beach and also right on the waterway. Had all the amenities you'd expect, lots of stuff for the beach, kayaks and paddle board were awesome - a big hit with the kids. House was very clean, and came stocked with anything. Gave them 1 recommendation on something they should have in the kitchen, and they Amazon'd it the very next day for arrival.Communication with the owner was fantastic and very responsive. Easy to communicate via the app or text messageHighly recommend this property - we will stay here again or in a larger property by the same owners in the future.

A very Naval Thanksgiving

Our youngest son is in flight training at NAS Pensacola and in hopes of conserving his leave for other needs we decided to head to Florida for Thanksgiving. After much research we decided to set up house in Perdido Key for the week. I can’t tell you how lucky we were to end up at Castaway Cottage. I had real doubts about the decision to cook a full T-day dinner in a beach house. My fears were put to rest when I found the kitchen stocked with everything as key as a slow cooker to chilled beer mugs. Besides the kitchen every other aspect of the house gave us the ideal setting to entertain our son and his fellow ensigns. The pool, kayaks, and volleyball court kept everyone more than happy. Proximity to the beach (3 minute walking access to the beautiful state park beach), chairs, wagon, cooler, and endless ice allowed us to make the most out of the great weather. Lindsey was super responsive to every question from the minute I hit ‘reserve’. We had never visited this part of Florida before and got a 1st class experience. We be back as our son progresses thru the next few years of training and will stay nowhere else. Thanks for everything!!

About the host

Hosted by Eric Bailey

Host profile image
Our family was looking to create a comfortable home away from home in a quiet beach setting with everything we needed except a suitcase. We hope you will enjoy your time here in Perdido paradise as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the neighborhood a couple of years before we bought anything. There is nothing like it in the area. Most other choices for a house are either on the beach with no direct bay access or on the bay with no direct beach access. This neighborhood allows you to have the best of both. We looked at several properties in the neighborhood for over two years before we purchased anything. The quality, size, and proximity to the beach access, along with numerous decks, and stunning 360-degree views sealed the deal for us. We can get involved with so many fun, different activities in one it never gets old!

Perdido 'Lost' Key is such an amazing area in itself. There is a much slower pace in general, yet still, plenty to do, and great places to eat. But, if you want to get into the thick of the coastal attractions, it's a very short drive to Orange Beach, Foley, or Gulf Shores.

What makes this property unique

Like our other vacation properties, we have created an amenity-rich environment in this house for spending quality time with the ones you care about the most. We've taken this house to a new level with a putting green, bean bag/cornhole boards, ring toss, adult kayaks, kid kayaks, SUP stand up paddleboard, and beach gear for guest use. On the inside, we provided high-end appliances and furnishings, and lovely coastal decor for a luxury guest experience.
