Summary:
Welcome to The Boat House!
This spacious 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom, pet-friendly private retreat sits right on Perdido Bay.

The Space:
★ABOUT THE HOME★
Before you settle in, claim your bedroom of choice, and sip your coffee on the covered dock, let’s get some of those up-front logistical questions answered:
✔ 6 bedrooms + more for 23 guests: This property sleeps up to 23 guests across 6 private bedrooms, one living room (home to 2 sofa beds), and one cozy sleeping nook (home to two twin beds).
✔ 7 bathrooms: With 7 full bathrooms available in the house, you’ll never have to fight over who’s been hogging the shower the longest.
✔ Parking for ~8 vehicles + boat trailers: The driveway and roundabout has room for at least 8 vehicles plus 1-2 boat trailers. Go ahead and tell Uncle Bill he can bring his new sports car to show off. You’ve got the space. (And if you’re worried about whether all of your vehicles will fit, just let us know how many you’re bringing–we’ll confirm)!
✔ Private boat dock: While you’re at it, bring your boat along, too! As a bonus, the dock has a covered seating area and a wet bar. You might even end up spending more time outside than inside. We wouldn’t blame you if you did.
✔ TWO full kitchens: Are you planning a mega-feast? Or do you need a secret test kitchen before you deploy your new pasta salad recipe to the fam? The reasons don’t matter to us. In this home, you can make use of two fully-equipped kitchens and two full dining tables at your leisure.
✔ Washer, dryer, + iron board: Get your beach clothes looking good as new for another day. The full washer and dryer can easily handle everyone’s laundry during your stay.
✔ Pets allowed: Bring your furrier members of the family along, too! We welcome up to 2 dogs per stay at this home, pending a $250 pet fee.

★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.

This is a private home that’s all yours during your stay! You’ll also have a private driveway that can hold about 8 cars + two boat trailers. No additional payment for parking is required.

We recommend arriving to your vacation home by car or by boat and having a personal or rented vehicle present to help you get around the area. You’ll have plenty of space to store about 8 cars and 1-2 boat trailers in the driveway, and dock space for up to 3 boats out back!
