Perdido Bay Regionals
Our Golf team, needed to travel to Perdido Bay Golf Club to compete for our Regionals HS Golf Tournament. We were able to find this gem of a condo to accommodate the team. From the initial reservation, Bill was in contact with me to make sure that everything would be set before we arrived. Their communication is very professional and quick. Needless to say, their lovely home was clean, quiet, and the location had easy access to the pool and gym area. It was the perfect stay. TY again for lending us your home.

Family time
Pool at the lost key beach club is tiny. Never any beach chairs available unless you got there at 8 o’clock in the morning.Probably need to invest in new frying pans and maybe more storage containers.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Sept 2023
Thank you for the feedback Cindy. We regret you had some concerns with your stay and are disappointed you didn't mention them so that we could have resolved any issues while you were still vacationing. We love to actively help our guests during their stay in any way we can. The main pool next to the house is huge. The pool at the Beach Club is small because it's on the beach 100 feet from the Gulf of Mexico. Most people opt for the beach. We include pics of both pools in our listing so that guests can see the amenities ahead of time and see what the resort offers. The beach chair and umbrella service begins at 9am and each unit is limited to 4 chairs and 2 umbrellas. During the height of peak season in July, this amenity is very popular and all the chairs are claimed early in the day. We apologize they were in use when you visited the beach. We will take a look at the pans and replace if needed. It's possible they were damaged recently. We can also order more storage containers. You did text us and thank us "...for having the place well stocked" so we are a little surprised by this feedback. Finally, we do strive to provide our guests with a 5-star vacation which is why we arranged for your family to check-in 4 hours early at no charge. We would have loved to help you during your stay. I wish we would have known of your concerns!

Perdido Key Family Vacation 7/2023
It was my mom's dream to have a family beach vacation. She picked Bill and Mindy's property because it was close to the beach and could house all 13 of us (ranging from 4 months to 60). Everything was exactly as pictured. When we arrived Bill and Mindy were super responsive and answered my questions within minutes. Our large group took advantage of the beach shuttle, the provided bicycles, new gas grill and the next door pool. Great neighborhood for the kids to hang out during the day or at night. We felt comfortable letting them go out on their own. We highly recommend Bill and Mindy's property.

Beautiful Home Just as Advertised!
We took our entire family... 14 of us, ranging from 4 months to 63. Everything was exactly as advertised. Hosts were super responsive and answered my questions within minutes. Our large group took advantage of the beach shuttle, the provided bicycles, and the next door pool. Pretty much everything you need is here. This specific area seemed less congested than other beach areas we have vacationed at in the past. Also, we needed a different check in and check out date than the usual Saturday to Saturday schedule. Bill and Mindy allowed us this flexibility. We would not hesitate to return again. BTW... the Lost Key Golf Club is in the back yard. If you decide to play, bring extra balls! Lol! Thank you hosts on a great beach vacation!

Great find in Orange Beach!
Owners were very responsive to any questions. The pictures don't do it justice. Spacious areas to gather family, screened balcony was a great place to read, all you need to bring is food. Stocked kitchen with any pot, pan or even crockpot appliances. Love the table lots of room to eat, talk and laugh with your family. They supplied bikes that would be great to ride to the beach. It's close to the entrance and the beach is just across the street. The pool was so pretty and nice to take a dip to cool off. Quiet neighborhood. Must eat at shrimp boat and Lilians pizza, they both were incredible! We will be back to stay!

Wonderful Home Away from Home!
We so enjoyed our stay at Bill and Mindy's home in Perdido Key! It was our first time to the area, and they were so helpful with any information about the house or area. They were great to communicate with! The home was beautiful and exactly as shown in the photos! It was roomy and comfortable and felt like a home away from home! The location was amazing right next to the pool and fitness center. We loved being able to use the bikes to ride to the beach club/beach! That was a great amenity! We greatly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again! Thank you, Bill and Mindy!

A week with friends and family
Our group of 13 enjoyed our week at Lost Key. The house was so well stocked, we never even had to use the stuff we brought (paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, dish pods/soap, etc). The open floor plan downstairs with the kitchen, living room and dining area was great for our large group. We really enjoyed the screened in porch. You could see the pool next door. The beach is a longer walk, especially with lots of kids. They have the shuttle available, but we opted to rent a golf cart to shuttle back and forth. The bikes came in handy for the beach too. The owners were super responsive and clearly value their guests and their experience.

Really good property
Bill was amazing. The communication was amazing and he was very responsive to all of my questions. The house was perfect for our family of 14! The rules seemed a little overwhelming at first but was fine once you go into the property. I will say that you have to drive to the beach. With as many people as we had, with the amount of "stuff"(for the kids), it was not convenient to walk over to the beach club. The parking was very limit. Overall, this property was great and Bill was amazing. If you are ok with a little walk and are not bringing "every beach item known to man," t is a great place!

Great place
Great place to stay at I lived the place and location. One thing we didn't like was them having cameras and checking everything we did outside and texting us about claiming the neighbors told them. This was alittle to much and we didn't like the place was fine other than that.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Sept 2023
Hi Lloan. We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with us. While there are ADT cameras on the property, we don't watch our guests or invade privacy. Community HOA owners contacted us to let us know you were parking your vehicles on the lawn and moving mattresses in and out of our house and storage room. Parking on the lawn is not allowed in the resort. It's a huge deal right now because numerous sprinkler heads in our community have been broken in the past few months. We contacted you directly about moving mattresses in and out of the house and storage room to see if there was a problem with the beds or if damage had occurred that needed to be addressed. We believe these are reasonable reasons to communicate with you to get more information and avoid violations issued by our HOA. All the best to you and your family.
