Wonder spot!

Cannot recommend this place enough! From easy check in/out, to onsite amenities it's a 10/10. The pool was great and right next to the tiki bar. They have live music daily. It's just a quick 5 min drive to beach, restaurants, and grocery. The condo itself was clean and well cared for. We will definitely be back again!

This condo is in a great location, close to the pool. It had everything we needed. It was clean and the beds were comfy. The shower in the master bath was AWESOME with an overhead shower head and a regular shower head. We will definitely stay here again.

Hidden Gem
by John
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This updated bungalow is perfectly placed in the middle of Perdido Key nestled between incredible restaurants that aren’t over crowded and literally 50 paces away from the pool, Tiki Bar and snack shack. Screened in porches are perfect for evening relaxing and the locals are more than willing to help guide you to the best spots to visit off the beaten path. The beach is only a few miles away and easy to access. Loved seeing all the military men and women calling this location their Hidden Gem where they get the best of everything a resort could provide without the resort price! We will definitely be booking again in the fall! 6 Days was not enough!

Lovely time
by Melissa
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We had a wonderful stay in 11A. The house was beautiful and conveniently located to the pool. We appreciated the fact that there were starter items (toilet paper, trash bags) in the house until we could get to the store the next day. The outdoor pool was AMAZING. We didn’t utilize the indoor pool, but did use the on site gym which was also very nice. While our family didn’t visit the bar specifically because we don’t drink, we were able to enjoy the nightly music from our porch. Only issue we had was the fact that I stubbed my toe multiple times on the dresser in the main bedroom when I was trying to get in and out of bed. If you’re heading to Purple Parrot, invest in the pass for Johnson Beach. It’s a super short drive and truly one of the most beautiful and unpopulated beaches we’ve seen in the area. We agreed that we would definitely return to this home and resort. Thanks for a delightful 7 days in paradise!

This villa was perfect in every way. It’s completely updated, I loved the kitchen! The villa has parking and 1 away from the pool and tiki bar. I sat with my girlfriends but he pool and heard the waterfall. We also went to the beach which is very very close. There were no large buildings and the sand is white and soft. The food around the place was also really good like jellyfish and Pedro’s. I recommend 100%!

Stop Scrolling - This is the One!
by John
★★★★★ 5 of 5
First of all- this community is so cute! Gym, Indoor pool if it rains, Outdoor pool is right outside the Full Service Tiki Bar with evening music! But this house is a gem- UPDATED everywhere with comfy furniture, rainfall shower in the main bedroom and the screened in porches are adorable! Only 30 minutes from the PNS airport! The beach is close by - and a National Park therefore the parking is so cheap and lots of open space filled with sand dunes NOT high rises! Food choices around the villa are soooo good. You cannot go wrong. Even the pizza delivery was outstanding. The owners were so kind and easy to work with on questions and you can tell they want you to be comfortable in their home! This was the best vacation for super price! Will be back. Almost don’t want to share this hidden gem in fears it’s going to be booked next year!

The condo unit was very well equipped with dishes, baking pans, pots and pans for cooking. The owners had also left a good supply of new spices which we appreciated because it is hard to do much with just salt and pepper and we don't travel with a whole array of spices. It was obvious that the owners have spent some time at the unit because there was always a hook or towel rack handy when and where you needed it which made it very cozy and easy to live in. The appliances were in good shape, in fact the washing machine, dryer, coffee maker and toaster looked new. We were missing a vacuum cleaner when we arrived and since we were there for a month, the management company was very good about delivering a new one as soon as we arrived. We didn't spend all of our time in the condo though. We got a pass to the National Park and enjoyed the beach on most days. Other days we enjoyed the musical entertainments at the various locations nearby - even went dancing at the Over 50 Ballroom Dance Club. Great area to visit with lots of activities.

Amazing Weekend in Perdido Key Resort
by John
★★★★★ 5 of 5
My family and I were attending an event in Pensacola and we stayed at Perdi Paradise 11A. The place is beautifully designed and had everything our small family needed while on vacation: access to a pool, close proximity to the beach, great A/C and wifi, convenient for food delivery, smart TV so we could Netflix and chill, and all in a safe area close to so many restaurants and attractions. The management company was very responsive to the questions we had about checkout and the check in process was a breeze. Convenient, cool and coastal, all at the right price for our family budget! We highly recommend this place and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful cottage close to beach access

★★★★★ 5 of 5
We had the best time staying in this cottage. It's very clean, updated and convenient to food places and also beach access! The beach is a 2 min drive by car. The pool at this cottage is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! My kids did not want to leave the pool at all so we stayed in it all day! And even when the weather's not the greatest, they have an indoor pool to hang out at!! All in all, you can't go wrong with this place! Will definitely be back again!

Nice but lacked a few things
by Cassie
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We really liked the layout. The kids loved the loft. There were some issues. The tv didn’t work, the lights on the stairs at night didn’t work, the washing machine didn’t work right and the electrical in the loft didn’t work. The dishes we did use had to be washed by hand first because they were all noticeably dirty. For a stay of 5 nights, I would recommend leaving an extra trash bag for the kitchen and toilet paper for the bathroom.

★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Sea Robin was just as pictures described. It is probably one of the most well-appointed kitchens and linens and towels we have ever rented from. The baths were outdated but still in good shape. However there was an exception to this and it was the master showerhead. It is about a thousand uses after its life expectancy. What spouts work, spray in different directions. It's comical trying to wash your hair. Owners really need to replace. The place was pretty clean on first floor but upstairs, we swept and had to put linens on twin beds. Took but a moment and linens were really easy to find and plentiful. Lots of storage in closets and bathrooms were available. Overall, great unit. It is close to the pool so it is kind of loud until 9pm which the live music from the tiki bar ended. It's a nice touch but my young kiddos didn't fall asleep until 9pm when it stopped. I didn't hear it in master but did on first floor - which I thought was a nice touch but if you want quiet, you need a C unit. The tiki bar made good drinks and bartenders were nice enough. Some days the pool was strict about nothing from outside other than kids drinks being brought in. Then other days people wheeled in coolers. the outdoor pool is super nice but was frigid temp. Indoor pool was nice - small but nice and warm. Decent work out space too. The grounds were clean and nice. Parking right next to the front door was super nice at Sea Robin! That was an amazing plus. We would definitely stay at Sea Robin again

We enjoyed our stay at the Sea Robin & would come back here another time. The kitchen was sparsely equipped. We have a family reunion every summer that we come to the Purple Parrot. We had to borrow silverware, pots & pans, serving dishes. There was a chair missing in the dining room, the dishwasher was not bolted down, & when you put the dishes in, the dishwasher would come out of the frame. And the closet door in the twin bedroom is off the track.

This is my second stay at the Purple Parrot Resort. Overall it was a great stay; however, there's a couple of small details of this condo that could be improved. the configuration of the kitchen is not very good,
You cannot fully open the freezer door due to it being against the wall. Also there is no pantry space for food.
There is a leak in the roof in the 2nd bedroom upstairs that def needs to be repaired.
Other than that great clean condo.

We thoroughly enjoyed the condo. We rented two units this one and one next to it for the extended family vacation. We enjoyed both and the setting that they are situated in. Perfect for young children.
But the pool was being repaired three of the days during our week at the Parrot. With the tile work being done, the waterfalls were not functioning. The kids were disappointed. It seems to us that this type of repair should be done in March, not July when you are charging prime season rates

We were thrilled with our accomodations. The condo was beautiful, clean, and equipted with everything we may have needed. When we booked the reservation, we were conserned about it not being on the beach. However, there is a great beach (Johnson's beach) right down the road. It is almost empty. It has pavillions, restrooms and a shower. We looked down the beach at the crowded beach front condo and felt lucky to be where we were!

The sea robin 11a
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
We liked the location and for the most part, we liked the sea robin. There were a few things that would have made it more comfortable. I left a note on the requirements for the items that should be in the sea robin. I did point out what was missing and the things that would have made it better for us. A rack by the downstairs bathroom to hang coats would be most help. Just 6 hooks on a board mounted on the wall. This was something that was in the first one we stayed in and we really missed it in the sea robin..helped to keep things neater and saved running up and down stairs to hang coats. The weather was such we needed to wear coats frequently. Not sure about the king size mattress. It did seem a little uncomfortable. Had trouble getting items into the freezer . Think either a smaller fridge so doors could open or wall moved to make room for present one. I'm sure replacing present one would make more sense than knocking out a wall.
We were happy with the management in there response to our needs and concerns.
We plan on returning next year, God willing.

We called in and were steered right in to get our keys and pool bands. Went on to our place at the Sea Robin. We didn't understand the lock, we called and were told it would be just 5 minutes, not true, it was actually 2.5 minutes. As it turned out it was operator problems, I didn't understand how to use the fancy convenience lock on the front door. The pool, the pool, the pool.

Let me start by saying we arrived at midnight and could not find our door code. I'm sure they emailed it to me, but I just couldn't find it. I had to call the resort manager at midnight and wake him up to get in. He was so nice and got out of bed so I could get my family into theirs, without a hint of attitude I might add. This really made a positive impression on me right from the start. The Sea Robbin was a great, the owners have went the extra mile to make it feel like home. we will be back for sure. The amenities where great, we had one rainy day on our vacation and the indoor pool and hot tub still gave us something enjoyable to do. with three small children it would have been a nightmare to be stuck in a small hotel room all day. We love the purple parrot and 11a is just one of many great places to stay there. The staff was very helpful, Great location, and affordable, we have nothing bad to say.

Very cozy.
★★★☆☆ 3 of 5
The house was very cozy and well furnished. Plenty of towels and extra pillows. For the most part, it was pretty clean when we checked in. Shower curtain in the master bath had mold on it and needed replacing long ago. Slight smell that could have benefited from some air fresheners on bottom floor. Tv in master bedroom needed replacing with flatscreen. Old box style with poor picture quality. The complex itself was very nice. Able to park right in front of the house. Loved the pool area. Water was a little cold, but to be expected in early april. Staff at check in was very polite and helpful. Location was good for restuarants and close driving beach access. Would recommend Bella Luna for pizza. The rating choices are 3 stars average to 4 stars very good. I would opt for 3 1/2 starts Good if that was a choice. It was better than average, but not very Good.

Our stay at the Sea Robin at Purple Parrot was wonderful! We were blessed by the nice place the Sea Robin was: Clean, well-kept, and cute decorations that made it feel like home! We enjoyed the nice pool and the beaches close by, and the indoor pool and exercise room were such a great amenity when it rained a few days while we were there. We will definitely be back!

The Perfect Vacation
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We've stayed at the Purple parrot about five times. We always try out a different house and have absolutely loved them all. It is the perfect place to get away from it all and really just rest. Sometimes you come back froma vacation feeling more tired than when you left...not with this one! They take very good care of you and everything you need is already there! We will be back for our annual visit next October!

42C Rocks!
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We rented Beach Mama's 42C for a weekend getaway with my sister and her family. It was more than we could have ever asked for. We required late check-in and as promised the key was readily available and the pool passes were inside waiting! The condo was very clean and outfitted with all the modern convienences. Although it was not on the beach it was a quick drive. We grilled out in the courtyard and enjoyed a peaceful picnic dinner! Thank you for a great weekend!

We truly enjoyed out stay at Perdido Key Resort. The Sea Robin 11a was very nice. Comfortable beds, well furnished, and the marguarita machine worked great! We came to Pensacola to visit our son in the air Force there. We cooked out at our condo, enjoyed the pool, and the music entertainment at the Tiki Bar. The folks in the office were extremely friendly.

Purple parrot for locals and not for families!
★☆☆☆☆ 1 of 5
This place is really good at marketing and not good at reality! Locals can constantly come in and out of the development. Locals can use the bar, the pool, and listen to the band. You are charged for all drinks at the pool and you cannot bring your own drinks or food to the pool. The beach is not close by. The beach is miles away. This is a pain in the family plans for sure! I would not stay here again and families should not stay here. Just plain awful!

★★★★★ 5 of 5
My wife and son stayed at Beach Mama's at the Purple Parrot during the week of July 4th. The staff was fantastic and very eager to make sure all of our needs were fulfilled. Thank you very much! As for the house, it was very cozy and relaxing. We were in the back part of the complex and the music from the live band was not loud at all. Thank you to the owners of Beach Mama's for having some beach amenities in the house. My son kept himself busy with the beach toys. We stayed in the house the majority of the time we were there. The beach access was a quick drive from the Parrot. Everything was close and convient. I could go on about the great time I had there, but if I do i'm afraid the house will be so booked that we won't be able to get a spot next year! If you are considering staying here then do it!

The Sea Robin was great and very comfortable. In October the water was chilly but the indoor pool was great and we swam till it closed. The staff was very friendly and even helped us out finding a boat rental. Also the Tiki bar played live music at night which was nice to listen on the porch. The music also stopped at a decent time. This place is excellent for the family.

★★★★★ 5 of 5
I did alot of research before making reservations for this beach trip. Although I really liked the idea of being able to see the beach from our condo, we are not high rise condominium kind of people. So the Purple Parrot was an excellent alternative for us!
It truly was not a hazzle to drive to the beach the days that we went and our kids really enjoyed the awesome pool at the complex. We visited several of the park beaches in the area. The whole family, especially our two and four year old children enjoyed taking a stroll down the fishing pier at Orange Beach. The comfortable setting of this house was great for my non-waterloving husband to be able to relax and enjoy watching the kickoff to the NFL season through the use of the great cable package included with the rental! He also really enjoyed getting to see the Blue angels practice their high flying and amazing show on their home base just 15 minutes from the house!
Our kids loved playing with the beach toys left inside the front door and kept themselves busy playing in the "sand box" just down the steps several times during our stay!
Thanks to the management for working with us in rescheduling after a family illness! It was a much needed break from alot of stress!
Lots of enjoyment to be had by all at the Purple Parrot and the Sea Robin!

Love the Pool
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
We stayed because I have family with a beach house nearby and we wanted a pool for the kids, especially with the potential for oil in the bay and gulf. The big pool is always a delight. Disappointed the Tiki Bar was closed. Our unit had a couple of maintenance issues (water stain on ceiling, broken stair rail) that needed attention and I was concerned that the stair rail didn't merit immediate attention. The place is very nice, but a bit expensive compared to others.

Like having a private luxury beach house!
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The Sea Robin is in the perfect location, near the pool but not too close. If you stay over the weekend, you can hear the live music coming from the Tiki Bar when you sit on the patio!
The furnishings are comfortable, it was clean, and there are plenty of towels, sheets, and pots & pans to cook with. We loved the privacy, we loved that the beach was just a couple of minutes away -- and we loved that the Johnson's Beach Pass came with the rental.
The only reason I gave cleanliness four stars instead of five was because there was a roach the size of a mouse inhabiting the kitchen. Other than that, the house was spotless!
I would definitely recommend The Sea Robin to anyone, and we will definitely be back next year!

The property is well laid-out, with 2 bedrooms & bathrooms upstairs and kitchen/dining/living area downstairs. Everytime I go to Pensacola I remember how beautiful the beaches and sands are - it's a quick trip to the beach (although too cold for swimming in Feb.). Beach Mama's has a great location at the Purple Parrot - not too far from the pool, not too far from the parking lot for unloading the car, and it has a sandy area and gazebo that was great for the kids to play. We had problems with the broadband but that was being replaced when we left.

February 2010 was relaxing, refreshing, and enjoyable.
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
What we liked best about Purple Parrot Resort was that the condos are individual homes in a village of 60 stand alone homes, unlike the high rise condo buildings which line the beach. Our condo contained everything we needed to make our month long stay pleasant. The beds were comfortable, the unit contained a washer and dryer, the kitchen was fully equipped for preparing any meals we chose to eat at the condo; in short, the condo contained everything we needed to be comfortable and to enjoy our stay.
The condo is part of the Purple Parrot Resort at Perdido Key. We were within short walking distance to the beach and a national park. A great Mexican restaurant, Vallarta, was across the street about one block away. We were close to a delicious Italian/pizza restaurant, Lillians. The Naval Air Station nearby contains a Naval Air Museum which is free and open to the public. It contains an I-max theatre which features interesting movies. One of our frequent stops during our stay was Joe Patti's Seafood, which sells delicious fresh fish and seafood.
The resort itself is quiet, clean, has many very pleasant owners and guests, and is staffed by friendly, competent staff.
The recreation center contained an indoor pool, sauna, hot tub, and complete shower rooms for men and women. The part of the center which we enjoyed and used most was the fully equipped exercise room which was like our own private facility. It contains two treadmills, two exercise bikes, an elliptical trainer, and a weight machine. We rarely had to delay our exercise due to other folks using the machines we desired. Unfortunately, the weather didn't allow us to use the outdoor pool which is lovely.
Our stay was a plus. The height of the tubs in both bathrooms was a challenge for us and our guests. We had problems with the ice maker, phones, and Internet access; however, these were not major issues. We will recommend the Purple Parrot Resort to those planning a trip to Florida.

We stayed at the Happy Place 8/6-8/9 2009. When we unlocked the front door we knew we had done good!!!! The house was very, very nice very well maintained and updated. I can't think of enough good thing to say. The overall experience was great we had no desire to come home!!!!! It was very close to a nice beach area and the pool at the resort was very nice with a cool waterfall that the kids really liked. The accomodations were spectacular. The only thing I could say in any negative way at all was we really wanted to stay one more night and left 2 messages with management to see if the house was available and never got a call back. I have and will continue to recommend this resort to everyone I know and will most definitely be back next year!!!

We'll See You Next Year
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We returned to the Purple Parrot for a second year and was not disappointed. We love the privacy and homey feel of the units over a hotel or high rise condo.
Beach Mama's was a very nice unit and we enjoyed the little extras - beach umbrella, beach/pool toys, books to read, and those little extras that made it more confortable for relaxing.
We would have liked some extra storage in the master bath, a key rack to help keep track of pool keys, and a few more cooking untensils (cookie sheet, pizza cutter), but these are minor in the big sceme of things.
We will definitely be back next year and will ask for this unit.

Spring Break
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We were searching for a vacation property that would accommodate my wife and I as well as our 21 year old daughter and 6 friends. The solution, we rented Happy Place and Yosandmine (1 bedroom). We all had a wonderful time. Both units were well equipped and comfortable. The closest beach was an easy walk. The pools were clean and well kept.
The Tiki bar had live entertainment on the weekend and made our arrival day (my birthday) lots of fun.
I recommend the Purple Parrot to anyone who wants to escape the high rise condo experience.

★★★★☆ 4 of 5
This home was a great selection for our family. The price was reasonable and the location was great. The setting was quiet and peaceful. The site was placed near great family dining. The home was also within walking distance of the Gulf Shores National Seashore, if one doesn't mind a short hike. The beach was never overcrowded. One problem with the beach we found was that it was difficult to swim in the ocean because of the jellyfish infestation. However, our family got a chance to see some great wildlife on this beach.
The pool was nice and relaxing but needed a few repairs. The only issue we had was that our laptops would not connect properly to the wireless internet. The young lady from the main office was very nice and tried to help us with the problem but could not establish a connection. However, the office provided us a network cable with which we could connect.
Other than that, our stay at "The Happy Place" was quite pleasant. We would definitely recommend this rental community and would consider staying there again.

Favorite in Perdido Key
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The Purple Parrott is always my first pick and favorite place to stay in Perdido Key. While it's not on the beach, the bungalows are all modern, clean, private and roomy. But because it's not directly on the beach, it's always a great price. (And the beach is a just a 3 minute drive.)
The pool is awesome and the TIKI Bar is a perfect spot to relax after the kids have gone to bed!
Service has always been friendly and prompt whenever I've had an issue. Once we couldn't get the dvd player to play and it was replaced that day with a brand new one!
I've stayed 4-5 times and have recommended to many friends.
