About this property
SPECTACULAR VIEWS!-Luxury Beachfront Townhome with DIRECT Ocean Views!
WAKE UP TO A VIEW OF WAVES CRASHING SOFTLY ON THE SAND!!! The Salty Dawg is an amazing, luxury townhome, in Perdido Key, Florida, which directly faces the Gulf of Mexico. It is decorated and furnished NOT as a rental property, but rather as an opulent yet comfortable beach retreat for discerning guests (don't take my word for it, read our past clients' reviews). It boasts a direct, unobstructed view of the ocean from the family room AND the master bedroom. On cool summer evenings, you can open the sliding glass door in the Master, lie down on the pillow top king size bed, and be lulled to sleep by the gentle sound of crashing waves. This unit sleeps 4 adults and 4 children comfortably with KING BEDS in the third floor master bedroom as well as the second floor guest bedroom. Both of the king bedrooms also have en suite bathrooms. The third guest room shares the top (third) floor with the Master and sleeps up to four people in twin bunk beds, a separate twin bed, and a trundle bed. The Salty Dawg has a functional and well-appointed kitchen with brand new, top of the line, Kitchen Aid appliances, including both a convection range and a convection microwave.
The Salty Dawg is one of just six units in this small, intimate, private complex. That means that you won’t be fighting for space on the beach or waiting on overcrowded elevators as you might in a high density condominium, during peak season. This home has its own private exit to the beach with a rather unique “bonus” feature; it has a huge, covered, screened in porch/outdoor living room on the bottom level facing toward the ocean. On the porch, you and your friends and family can enjoy a pleasant summer evening while engaging in a seriously challenging game of “Bimini Ring”.
Another unique and convenient feature to this home is its fully enclosed garage, which is large enough for a Chevy Tahoe.
Check-in 4:00PM CST and Check out 11:00AM CST

About the host
Hosted by Brent E
I was born in Pensacola FL, son of a Pensacola native who married a Naval officer, whom she met during his flight training. I grew up enjoying the Pensacola area, its beaches, the great people and amazing history it has to share. After years in the General Contracting trade, building, rebuilding and remodeling dream homes for clients in places like Atlanta, GA, Park City, UT and New Orleans, LA, my wife and I were drawn back to settle down near our roots in The South. Prior to moving back we frequently rented properties at the beach for our own vacations. Many were nice and reasonably well kept, but often times, the units were "rental caliber", filled with disgusting 20+ year old furniture and bed mattresses.
We made the decision that if we were going to invite guests to stay in our properties, then they needed to be treated as... our honored guests!!! The FIRST thing that we do to any of our units is remodel it as if we were staying there (because we frequently do). And I don't mean redo it to newer "rental caliber" (my wife has MUCH higher standards than that), but redesign each unit into a luxury beach home to every extent possible.
I never want to be embarrassed to have guests stay in one of my properties. I am local to the area and a skilled contractor! If you find something in one of our units which you feel is deficient, even if it's just a blown light bulb or a single drip of water under a sink, PLEASE email, text or call me so I can fix it ASAP. My eyes are getting older, so I am grateful to anyone who can help me find something I missed.

Why they chose this property
This beautiful beachfront property is in a low density complex (just 6 units share the private beach), located in the heart of Perdido Key with no neighboring high rises for a hundred of yards or more in either direction.
Perdido Key has excellent proximity to amenities in Orange Beach and Pensacola; including NAS Pensacola and the National Naval Aviation Museum (the world’s largest Naval Aviation museum and one of the most-visited museums in Florida). NAS Pensacola is also the home and HQ of the Blue Angels. On many weekdays between March and October, The Blues can be seen practicing overhead on Perdido Key (their practice schedule can be found online).
This area is much less crowded than neighboring Orange Beach and Gulf Shores thanks to a decade long building moratorium (which has just recently been lifted) and sensible project approval by the planning commission. More importantly, roughly 60% of the island of Perdido Key is occupied by The Gulf Island National Seashore and The Perdido Key State Park, further ensuring that this relaxed little island paradise will continue to resist the overbuilding and overcrowding which plagues so many other beach communities. When our island was discovered by Spanish explorers in 1693, they appropriately named it Perdido Key, or “Lost” Key. Come and personally experience that sense of getting "lost in paradise".

What makes this property unique
This home is fairly unique among condos and townhomes in that it has both an enclosed garage and, as a huge bonus, a large secured, screened in porch area on the ground floor. This protected outdoor space acts as a second living room and/or relaxation area, allowing adults and children distinctly separate areas to congregate and enjoy the beach lifestyle.
