3/2 Spacious Gulf Front Corner Unit , Perdido Key, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

My family absolutely loved our stay at Pelican Perch. We love the quaintness of Perdido Key, and this beautiful low-density condo was exactly what we were looking for. We vacationed with our three adult children and had plenty of space to spread out. We loved the view from the balcony and even saw dolphins a couple times. The beach and pool never felt crowded and the beach chairs, beach towels and toys made this the most stocked condo we have ever stayed in. The beds were all comfortable and the showers were great!! We will definitely we be returning!!

Jim and Anne were wonderful host on my family’s trip to Perdido Key. They were easy to work with and very quick to respond to any question we had. Their condo is beautiful and has super comfortable beds and couches. I know it has a ‘starter’ for supplies, but was enough detergents/soaps, dryer sheets, paper towels and toilet paper that we didn’t have to go buy any. The kitchen has a variety of pots and pans, dishes and utensils. Only thing we lacked for are storage bowls with lids and a pasta scoop (which I’ve shared with Anne). They also had plenty of beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, cooler, towels, toys, flashlights,..) so there’s no reason to bring anything but sunscreen! One of the best parts is the beach wasn’t crowded. The building is fairly small and isn’t surrounded with tons of other high rise condo buildings. It was perfect! We had a great stay and highly recommend!

We have been coming to Perdido Key for around 8 years now. We’ve stayed at several different condos, but Pelican Perch is now our favorite! Perfect location, the beach was not crowded and we had plenty of space to venture to the left or right of the condo if it was. Beautiful view of the bay in front. Best stocked condo ever - plenty of supplies - even beach towels, chairs and toys. We will absolutely return next year, and hopefully many years to come, to Pelican Perch! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks so much for your review! We offer 10% discount to returning guests! Would love to have you again!

We had a wonderful stay at Pelican Perch. It's the most well-stocked condo we've ever stayed in, from kitchen to beach accessories and had pretty much everything we needed. We weren't able to use the balconies or pool due to ongoing construction, but the owners were up front with us about that before we got there. Even though we couldn't go ON the balcony, the view was still amazing and mesmerizing and we saw dolphins almost every day! Jim and Anne were great to work with, promptly answering questions. We woukd definitely stay there again!

Anne and Jim Duhig's reply:

Thanks so much for your kind review! You will have to come again once the restoration is completed in May!

The Pelican Perch is a very comfortable condo with a beautiful ocean view. We loved the decorations, comfy beach towels, washer and dryer, beach chairs and umbrellas, small cooler, and the balcony. Beach access is super easy! The owners communicate very well. We had the best time with our original family of five and we hope to be back again!! Thank you for the use of your lovely condo!!

Anne and Jim Duhig's reply:

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed your stay! Come again soon.

Loved staying here. I could sit on the balcony all day long and never get tired of the view.

Anne and Jim Duhig's reply:

Glad you enjoyed your stay! Views cannot be beat! Hope you can visit again soon!

This was our second time staying at Pelican Perch. It’s spacious enough for our family. The kitchen is well stocked. We like the short walk to the beach. There are chairs and umbrellas provided in the outdoor closet, and a small cooler. My only complaint is the master bedroom is at the end of the hall and can get hot later in the day. It needs a separate a/c unit. Perdido Key is far enough from the congestion of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, but close enough to drive to favorite restaurants and The Track for go carts. We had a great vacation and would definitely stay here again.

Anne and Jim Duhig's reply:

Thanks Jennifer! Glad you came back! We were experiencing unusually high temperatures this summer!! I just purchased a tower oscillating fan for the back bedroom. I appreciate your feedback and hope you will come again soon!

First of all Jim and Anne were great. They responded quickly to all my questions and messages. They are gracious hosts. I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the condo and their attention to the small details. My only criticism would be there is only one coffee pot and it is slow to make a pot of coffee. My companions and I frequently wanted only one cup of coffee and a Keurig would have really been appreciated. The condo is very well stocked with everything you might need. The linens were good quality and plentiful. The view is gorgeous and we saw dolphins a few times. The construction next door is ongoing and I enjoyed watching their progress. If all goes as planned I hope to return to this condo again next year.

Anne and Jim Duhig's reply:

Thanks Nancy, glad you enjoyed your stay! The construction is due to be finished in the next couple of weeks! So glad it did not affect our gorgeous view! We'll look into your request on the Keurig. Thanks again!

Such a great place to enjoy the uncrowded off-season beach! We loved the spacious condo and all the extras they had for us there to make our stay very comfortable! The ocean view was awesome. Beds were very comfortable, and the place was very quiet. Would definitely stay there again!

Anne and Jim Duhig's reply:

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed your stay! Hope you got your baking done. Come again soon!

Our first visit to a Perdido Key was amazing. We could not have picked a better place to stay!!! The condo was very comfortable for two families. We were really surprised with how “stocked” the condo was. Plenty of trash bags, laundry detergent, etc. the patio closet was full of chairs and beach toys. Communication with the condo was easy and quick. We watched the Blue Angels and took a trip to Alligator Alley. Food at The Pointe, Sunset Grill, The Jellyfish we’re all really good. Drove to Pensacola and ate at The Oar and Shaggys. Can’t wait to stay here again!!

Anne and Jim Duhig's reply:

Glad you enjoyed your stay! Fall is a beautiful time to come to Perdido Key. Look forward to welcoming you back!

I second everything that Barbara stated in the comment below. It was a great condo. The condo had everything you needed. The games and books were a great addition. Our granddaughter loved all the kid books and games. The construction next door was of no concern because you were unable to hear it when inside and they were gone by the evening when we wanted to enjoy the balcony. We had a great family vacation.

Anne and Jim Duhig's reply:

Thanks so much for your kind words! We enjoyed having you & hope you can return soon!

This condo exceeded our expectations! A quick getaway with our adult children & granddaughter. Plenty of space. Owners were wonderful to work with & there is nothing they have not thought of for this unit; beach towels, chairs, umbrellas-this is unheard of! Next time, we will only bring clothing! Construction next door is of no concern bc inside you can’t hear them inside, during the day we were on the beach & by evening when we were ready to enjoy the front deck, they were gone. The only upgrade I could even recommend may be a broom!! This place is a gem, as are the owners!! Oh yeah, the beach is pretty nice too!??

Anne and Jim Duhig's reply:

Thanks so much! Sorry your trip was so short! Hope your granddaughter enjoyed her first beach trip. We enjoyed having ya'll.

We rented this at last minute and we were not disappointed! We usually don't rent a 3 BR due to availability. Like others have said - this place does NOT disappoint. The condo is very large and being a corner unit was even more a bonus. I loved that the building was only 8 floors not the big high rises. The area was not crowded but yet close to plenty to do. We watched the Blue Angels practice two days. This condo was so fully equipped and stocked all you need is your bathing suit :). They have done a spectacular job at every corner. Plenty of chairs, towels, beach towels - high quality. They were very communicative and reply quickly to any questions or concerns. This was the area we were needing. We thank you so much for sharing your place. We even left a couple items behind and they were gracious to make sure we got them asap. All the 5 star ratings are legit!!!

Anne and Jim Duhig's reply:

Thanks so much for your kind words! We enjoyed having you & hope you can return soon!

The condo was very spacious and slept our family comfortably. The owners were very helpful, and very quick to answer any questions we had. Short walk to the beach. At the time we were there, the beach area was small, so you were very close to the other guest. Most of them were very friendly, and we enjoyed getting to know them. It was great being able to use the chairs and umbrellas provided so we didn't have to bring our own from home. The construction noise wasn't bad inside the condo, however, there were a couple days it was loud when down on the beach. Even the sound of the waves couldn't block out some of the noise. Overall, we had a wonderful family vacation, and would stay at Pelican Perch again.

Anne and Jim Duhig's reply:

Glad you enjoyed the condo! So sorry the construction was bothersome! They were supposed to be done with the crane and moved on to interior work before the summer, but the weather has delayed their progress. We hope they have the noisier parts done very soon! Mother Nature has certainly shifted the sands a bit, but if you walk just a little to the left, in front of the vacant lot next door, the beach is wide and the rental chairs do not set up there, so plenty of room! That's what we do! Hopefully our nice wide beach returns with the tides soon too!

We stayed in Pelican Perch for 2-weeks. We have been going to Destin for the past 20 years but decided to try out Perdido Key for the first time this year. In comparison to other places, Pelican Perch was larger, cleaner, and overall, just nicer. The pictures here don’t show just how nice and spacious this unit really is. The owners have really thought of everything. We found every cooking utensil needed and the appliances were excellent. Soaps, lotion, laundry detergent, paper towels, as well as lots of board games and even binoculars for viewing the dolphins were a nice surprise. We haven’t ever stayed in a place that provided these things. Anne and Jim have gone out of their way to ensure that guests have everything necessary for a comfortable stay. The beach towels they provided were huge and plush! We have always arranged beach service on our, but the chairs (4) and umbrellas (2) provided by the Duhigs are high quality, so it isn’t necessary to pay the extra money for a set-up. Beyond the individual unit, the rest of the facility is very clean and well-kept. We happily and easily give Pelican Perch and the Duhigs the highest possible rating, but there are a couple of minor caveats. A new high-rise is under construction on the east side of Ocean Breeze West. As such, construction noise was present on weekdays although it isn’t too loud inside the condo when the doors are shut. It’s just noisy on the balcony or if you have light sleepers, and they start work at 7:00. A construction dumpster hindered the view of traffic while exiting the parking lot in our car. Also, the size of the beach (distance from dunes to waterline) was not quite as large as that shown in pictures. Most realize the beaches are always changing, but it’s worth noting that space on the beach was not optimum during our stay. Even with these minor issues, we will not hesitate to stay at Pelican Perch for all future visits to Perdido Key!!

Anne and Jim Duhig's reply:

Thanks so much! We enjoyed having ya'll and are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Mother Nature has certainly changed the width of our beach recently, but as you note, she'll bring it back in due time. The construction is unfortunate, but it is happening all over the key...luckily the one next to OBW will be a good neighbor! The new building just has 27 luxury condos and will not be allowing short term rentals! Our beach should remain uncrowded & we'll keep our million-dollar view! Look forward to your return visit!

This condominium is truly exceptional! It's quite spacious and comfortable and nicely decorated with soft colors and a well-equipped kitchen. We are three girlfriends in our 60s and 70s, and having HIGH QUALITY beach chairs, beach towels, and umbrellas included is fantastic!!! Another great amenity is having smart TVs in the living room and bedrooms. Being on the 7th floor offers an expansive view of the skyline, the vast, white powdery beach, and the sunsets, when we'd enjoy happy hour every evening on the huge corner balcony, watching the pelicans fly by...just a wonderful experience! This was our second time staying at Pelican Perch, and we can't wait to return. HIGHLY RECOMMEND PELICAN PERCH!
