Secluded Waterfront Home on the Bay

Coastal Serenity on Perdido Bay – Waterfront, Fire Pit, & Dog Friendly!

Escape to a private waterfront sanctuary where the oak trees drape in Spanish moss and the rhythm of Perdido Bay sets the pace. This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage offers the perfect blend of "old Florida" charm and modern relaxation.

Start your mornings with coffee on the beachfront deck as the sun rises over the water, and spend your afternoons fishing off the shore or exploring the bay. Whether you’re grilling a fresh catch under the stars or gathering around the crackling fire pit for s'mores, this is where memories are made.

Private Waterfront Lot: Direct access to the bay.

Outdoor Living: Expansive deck, BBQ grill, and a cozy fire pit.

Bring the Whole Family: We are proudly dog-friendly!

The Vibe: Peace, quiet, and a touch of adventure.

House was great but not the reason we chose this property, the ability to walk out in the morning and get right in the boat to head out for a day of fishing each day is what sold us on this listing.

It was a reasonable price for my family to afford a getaway. The views were outstanding and we loved having our own private beach that we could play on with our dogs. The hostess was responsive and empathetic to our needs especially when it came to our dogs. We would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing time to escape a busy working life.
Sitting on the beach of the bay will wash away any stress😌

I appreciated Michelle being very responsive to my questions. We loved the dock going out to the water. The house was nice. Rather skimpy on the amenities. Luckily we brought laundry sheets with us. Also no facial tissues and only very small sample bottles of shampoo and conditioner. Quarter size bar of soap. Other than that it was nice. We would recommend to others. Great location for going to wherever you want to go.

Peaceful and beautiful location

We were looking for a peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle of spring break and this was exact that. We loved the dock, the small beach, the deck, and the fire pit area. The house works, it wasn't as clean as I prefer and there were a few maintenance issues that need to be resolved which I trust that the host will take care of. Overall we were pleased with our stay.

Great Escape

We came on vacation with our 2 boys and grandparents in their 80’s. The grandparents couldn’t make it out to the beach so having the bay in the back yard was amazing. We disconnected and had an amazing time. Our doodles swam every day in the bay, we fished tons and are going home with lots of memories. We loved this house. It was perfect for a week with family. The kayaks were a great treat. We will definitely be back.

Relaxing on the bay.

We were in town for a memorial service. It was nice to stay in one location with my children and grandson. The weather was decent and the cottage was cozy. We did not have the time to fully enjoy the waterfront features, but our stay allowed us to be together during a difficult time for our family. Thank you for sharing your cottage.

Secluded, peaceful, beautiful backyard with great fire pit area, super cozy deck and nice private dock. Absolutely loved the old oak trees with Spanish moss and the cypress knees. This nice older home had been decorated nicely and was very clean. The hostess was great with communication. A little water damage could be fixed pretty easily and the automatic light by back door could stay on a little longer. Not a big deal. Loved the mandarin tree!! We absolutely enjoyed our stay!

Had a wonderful time on the bay!

We loved staying at Uncle Tubby's!! This was our first trip to the area to visit our son. We would stay here again. The outdoor space was amazing. Michelle was a great host and responded quickly with any inquires. The dock and fire pit were the highlights of our stay. We grilled and made smores. We loved exploring the bay on the kayaks. The rooms were nice and the AC was perfect. The check in and easy entry was great. Can't wait to come for our next visit!

Everything was as described. Host responded quickly to our questions. The pier was magical. The air conditioning was great, which is not always a given in a rental in July in Florida! The grounds and house could use some TLC, but it didn’t negatively impact our stay much. Bring a headlamp, there is not much light outside! There are motion sensor lights but they only stay on for a few seconds. There are also solar powered lights out back as the pictures show which help, but are more for ambiance. Overall we were pleased with our stay! Great for a low key vacation off the beaten path. Highly recommend the restaurant Fisherman’s Corner which is less than 20 minutes away by the canal in Perdido Key.

We arrived in the middle of the night, tired, ready for bed but when we arrived the sheets were dirty. They offered to clean them the next day when they responded after we had to clean them in the middle of the night. The “beach” was FULL of trash-tires, bricks, pots and lids, concrete lots of debris. Not what the pictures looked like on the posting.

The back door needs some attention- if you don't have the top locked the door comes open. The drain in the kitchen needs re-done- per my husband that is not how a pea trap should be- its smells. He fixed your fence in the front yard, he also fixed a couple of your cabinets that the doors where not working. Also the remote in the living room- you may want to get a new one or replace those batteries- we had to take the sticky tap off of it and turn the batteries around for it to work.

This home left a lot to be desired! Our stay was not appealing to us. The home was full of bugs, the dispenser to the freezer was not working, wisteria growing wild and not appealing. The outside of the home was nothing like the photos. No beach due to brush everywhere. This homes needed more curb appeal for sure! Lot not miniatured like it should be for the price we paid. Pots and Pan were very old. Camera's on the property and the ad did not disclose this!!The only good and enjoyable thing was the private boat dock.
