June 2025 About Us, Things to do, Where to eat

Hello Florida! Our New Chapter in Perdido Key Has Begun

Y’all, we’ve got big news—and it’s sweeter than iced tea on a porch swing in July! For years, we’ve been your go-to vacation rental company for beach getaways in Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach. You’ve trusted us to help you make memories in the heart of Alabama’s beautiful Gulf Coast, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

But now? Well, honey, we’re crossing the state line and planting our flip-flops in new sand. That’s right—we’re officially in Florida! We’re tickled pink to announce that we’ve opened our first vacation rental in Perdido Key, and it’s just the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

So grab a cold drink, settle in, and let us tell you all about our new home-away-from-home in the Sunshine State.

A Stone’s Throw from Home. A World Away in Charm.

Now before anybody gets their feathers ruffled, let us clear something up—Perdido Key may have a Florida zip code, but it’s still got that easy, laid-back Southern soul we all know and love. Just a hop east of Orange Beach, this little slice of paradise feels like a natural extension of the Gulf Coast we’ve always served.

You won’t find big crowds or high-rise hustle here. Perdido Key is all about slowing down, soaking up the sun, and living on island time.

It’s the kind of place where the waves set the pace, the gulls do the talking, and the views will flat-out steal your breath. Sugar-white sand, turquoise water, and sunsets so pretty they’ll have you feeling poetic.

Why Perdido Key?

We’ll shoot you straight—we’ve had our eye on Perdido Key for a while now. Guests have been asking for it, and we couldn’t ignore the call of that powdery-soft sand and those picture-perfect views. It offers everything our folks already love about Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach: peace, privacy, and pristine shoreline. But it also adds a little Florida flair—plus easy access to Pensacola, which is just a hop, skip, and a cannonball away.

Whether you’re a longtime beach bum or just itching to try something new, Perdido Key offers the best of both worlds: quiet charm and coastal adventure.

Say Hello to Our First Perdido Property!

We’re thrilled to introduce Sweet Retreat, our very first vacation rental in Perdido Key, Florida. This spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom condo comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests, making it perfect for families, couples, or anyone ready to trade their to-do list for some well-deserved beach time.

Sitting just back from the shoreline, you’re only steps away from the sand—no car, no shuttle, just a short stroll to paradise. Inside, Sweet Retreat is styled in calming coastal tones and packed with all the comforts of home, including a full kitchen, comfy beds, and plenty of space to unwind after a day in the sun.

Local Flavor and Florida Fun

Perdido Key may be new territory for us, but y’all know we did our homework. This place is brimming with things to do—if you ever get tired of the beach (but let’s be honest, who does?).

From boat rentals to backwater kayaking, fresh seafood shacks to ice-cold bushwhackers, there’s something for everyone. Nature lovers can explore Big Lagoon State Park or take a dolphin cruise. Foodies will fall head over heels for the fresh catch at The Jellyfish or the fried shrimp at Fisherman’s Corner—which, by the way, is as down-home as it gets.

And if you’re up for a little culture with your sunshine, head on over to Pensacola Naval Air Station and check out the National Naval Aviation Museum—or catch a glimpse of the Blue Angels flying high overhead. Trust us, it’s enough to give you goosebumps.

Still Lovin’ Our Alabama Roots

Don’t worry—we’re not going anywhere. Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach are still home, and we’re as committed as ever to bringing y’all the best rentals and Southern hospitality on the Alabama coast.

But we believe when life opens a new door, you don’t just peek through it—you walk through it barefoot and ready for the next adventure.

That’s why we’re so excited to grow with y’all. This isn’t just business—it’s a labor of love. You value a clean space, a team you can trust, and a vacation that feels like a warm hug—and that’s exactly what we’re here to give.

Come On Over, Y’all

So whether you’re already planning your next getaway or just daydreaming about toes in the sand, now’s the perfect time to check out Sweet Retreat—our brand-new condo in Perdido Key.

If you’ve never stayed with us before, now’s a great time to see why so many folks trust BEACHBALL PROPERTIES. We treat you like family and take pride in getting the details right—every single time. Book your stay at Sweet Retreat today and be part of this exciting new chapter. We’ll leave the porch light on for you.
