We grew up coming to Perdido Sun resort every summer of my childhood, so I am quite familiar with this resort and the Perdido Key area, both of which we enjoy as a family, and this trip was no exception. However, we were disappointed by aspects of this particular unit.
For starters, no pictures were posted of this unit prior to the final cancellation with refund date. We asked about this and were told they would be made available as soon as possible, but it was not in time for us to receive a full refund. The decor is described “a blend of beach-chic meets coastal contemporary”. However, it is not. While everyone is entitled to their own design style, at this price—and with this description—you would expect something light, bright, beachy and evocative of the emerald coast the unit looks out on. We were disappointed that it did not match the description or truly feel like a beach retreat.
The decor, the bathrooms, and the unit itself (e.g. carpet in master bedroom) require a good bit of updating in order to justify the set rental price.
While the master bedroom tv is a Roku TV, there is no streaming device in the living room. It has been several years since I’ve encountered a VRBO rental without streaming capabilities; again, at this price point I would expect it would be a standard amenity in 2023.
The Gulf Coast location and the Perdido Sun resort are excellent attributes, and this unit could certainly be excellent in the future once these issues are addressed.
