The Space:
★ABOUT THE HOME★
We can’t wait to tell you about the nitty-gritty details of this home–but first, here are the basics we know you’re curious about:
✔ 3 bedrooms for up to 6 adults + 2 kids: In this house, nobody’s getting stuck on the sleeper sofa. With two king beds and two double beds spread across three private bedrooms, there’s room for everyone to sleep like royalty.
✔ 2 full bathrooms: Two semi-private bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, each have their own vanities and showers.
✔ 10-minute walk to the beach: Beach access sits across Perdido Beach Boulevard, which means you’re just about 10 minutes away from salty air and sandy toes!
✔ Dedicated beach parking, crosswalk, and boardwalk: If you'd like a shorter walk, park at one of the eight community beach parking spots immediately across the street from the beach and take the crosswalk to the community boardwalk - your toes will be in the sand in no time at all!
✔ Outdoor pool: If you’re not feeling like a 10-minute walk to the beach, how about a 10-second walk to the pool? Take a dip or relax in reclining poolside chairs at the private pool, accessible only to guests of the community.
✔ Tennis + basketball courts: Hit the tennis or basketball courts to settle–once and for all–who’s the true family champ. As for the loser? Sounds like the Waffle House run is on them.
★LIVING AREA★
This light + breezy living room is the perfect place to kick back, relax, and settle into your vacation! Lean back on the couch and put on your favorite show while you sip your coffee and get excited about what the day holds. When the sun goes down, this turns into the perfect space for a family game of charades or a spontaneous dance party.
✔ TV
✔ Sectional sofa that seats 6 + two arm chairs
✔ 4-top dining table

★KITCHEN + DINING★
Gather around the 4-top dining table for dinner + game night, or pull up a stool at the 4-top counter for a quick bite or drink. You’ll have plenty of counter space to brew a mid-day coffee, present your take-out pizza spread, and mix drinks– all at the same time, and without bumping elbows!

★THREE BEDROOMS WITH ROOM FOR 6 ADULTS + 2 KIDS★
No one’s getting relegated to a pull-out sofa here (unless couch sleeping is your jam… in which case, we fully support you). Three private bedrooms allow everyone to have a little touch of luxury away from the common areas.
✔ Bedroom 1: King bed, en-suite bathroom
✔ Bedroom 2: King bed
✔ Bedroom 3: Two double beds
✔ Bed linens
★TWO FULL BATHROOMS★
Two vanities + two showers will keep the “Hurry up!” door knocking to a minimum. Whoever won the coin toss for the primary suite will also share their bathroom with the common areas, while the two additional bedrooms will share the upstairs bathroom.
✔ Bathroom 1: First floor, en-suite, vanity, shower/tub combo
✔ Bathroom 2: Second floor, shower/tub combo
✔ Essential toiletries
✔ Hair dryer
★10-MINUTE WALK TO BEACH★
It’s just a 10-minute walk between your home and sweet, beachy freedom. You can safely cross Perdido Beach Boulevard at a designated crosswalk just slightly east of the property, and head straight down to the sand from there. Dedicated beach parking is also available at one of the eight community beach parking spots immediately across the street from the beach and community boardwalk.
If you’d prefer, you can also take a 5-minute drive down the road to Cotton Bayou Public Beach Access, where you can park your car and head straight to the coastline. We recommend this option for anybody with mobility concerns–Cotton Bayou has ADA beach access mats that make it easy for everyone to get onto the sand!
★COMMUNITY POOL★
Maybe you’re too tired to walk. Or maybe there’s rain in the forecast and you want to catch the 5-minute break between showers. Whatever the reason: if you’re looking forward to some poolside napping, you’re in luck! The community pool will be just a few steps from your door.
★BASKETBALL + TENNIS COURTS★
Who’s ready to duke it out on the courts? Whether you’re blowing off steam with some solo shots or having the most epic kids-versus-adults tennis battle in your family’s history, the courts will be ready to welcome you when the extra energy rush hits.
★BEACH CHAIRS★
Beach chairs are provided by Ike's Beach Service and are subject to availability. You can check availability or book ahead by contacting them directly.
★FIVE DAYS OF HOUSEHOLD ESSENTIALS★
We know you need more than a half-full soap pump and one roll of toilet paper for your stay. All Grand Welcome Orange Beach rental homes come thoroughly stocked with a 5-day supply of dishwasher pods, paper towels, toilet paper, toiletries, laundry detergent, hand soap, and all of those little things you shouldn’t have to think about while on vacation. Taking inventory of household essentials sounds like a chore for back home–get back to napping on the beach, knowing you’re fully stocked for your stay!
★COFFEE + TEA BARS IN EVERY HOME★
Speaking of “household essentials,” every Grand Welcome Orange Beach & Perdido Key vacation home comes with a fully-stocked coffee and tea bar with several flavors and varieties to choose from. Tea + honey? Check. Hot chocolate? Check. Medium roast, black? You got it. Decaf, precisely 1.83 tablespoons of creamer, ⅛ teaspoon of Splenda, stirred for 37 seconds, and topped with one ice cube? Go for it. Whatever your tastes, you can start the day off right with the perfect cup.
Guest Access:
This is a private home that’s all yours during your stay!
We can provide up to two parking passes (for two vehicles) at no additional cost during your stay. We will leave one parking pass on your home’s kitchen counter. If you’re bringing a second vehicle, please let us know 24 hours prior to check-in so we can make arrangements for a second parking pass.
You’ll enter the property via a door code that’s unique to your group, which we’ll confirm with you before your trip starts.
Getting Around:
We recommend arriving at your vacation home by car and having a personal or rented vehicle present to help you get around the area. You’ll have space to store two cars right outside your home–one in the garage, and one on the driveway. Please note that parking is not permitted on the grass or in the street.
