Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This home was luxurious, spacious, and comfortably fit our family of 16! The pool and grounds were gorgeous, and the beach was just a short walk away. The quiet beaches made it easier to watch our little ones, and we loved seeing dolphins, stingrays, and fish.Communication was exceptional. When a shower wasn’t heating properly, they sent Brandon, who fixed it immediately and was so personable. Whenever we wanted the hot tub heated, a quick message was all it took.My dad has ALS, and this may have been our last beach vacation together as an entire family. Having such a beautiful place to gather and make memories meant more than we can express. We couldn’t have asked for a more special stay.

About the host

Hosted by Premier Vacation Group

Host profile image
Premier Vacation Group is a team of Concierges whose purpose is to provide the best vacation experience possible for our guests. We start with the best properties Perdido Key has to offer. We utilize our many years of hosting experience and knowledge of our community and activities to provide 5-star service throughout your vacation journey.

Why they chose this property

Premier Vacation Group focuses only on luxury homes in Perdido Key. Perdido (Lost) Key is a barrier island on the northwestern tip of Florida. The Key is mostly made up of a state park, so it's not overpopulated. You won't find any hotels or an overbuilt beach community in Perdido Key. It's a quieter island that is a close drive to anything you could want to do in the neighboring communities of Pensacola, Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, or Foley. Once you stay in Perdido Key, you'll want to make it your permanent beach destination.

What makes this property unique

Like our other vacation properties, Premier Vacation Group has teamed up with the owners of Once Upon a Tide to create an amenity-rich environment in this house for spending quality time with the ones you care about the most. A few of the amenities outside include a heated private pool, bean bag/cornhole boards, and beach gear for guest use. On the inside, you will find comfortable beds, high-end appliances and furnishings, and lovely coastal decor for a luxury guest experience.
