Frequently Asked questions

A $300.00 pre-payment (booking deposit) is required to reserve a condo. The remaining balance can be paid as late as 6-weeks prior to your arrival.

Once your reservation is confirmed by the Reservation Confirmation Email, all payments are non-refundable and there will be no refunds given for any reason, including reasons such as inclement weather and Guest Family emergencies unless you have purchased RedSky Travel Insurance Protection. If you have purchased RedSky Travel Insurance you may contact RedSky to submit your claim. PKRM strongly recommends that you protect your vacation investment with RedSky Travel Insurance Protection.

The resort is not far from the beach, but the Purple Parrot primarily attracts families and Perdido Key does not have sidewalks along the road. That being said, I never feel comfortable advertising the resort as within easy walking distance. The best stretch of beach is about 2 minutes away by car and, though it is not the closest beach, it is definitely the nicest. I am referring to the National Park area and they have restrooms, showers, picnic tables, a walking trail, and covered pavilions in case anyone gets too much sun. More importantly, the Park area is the only area on the island with lifeguards. So, you can see why I recommend the short drive. The closest beach is the public beach access and is ½ to the park area.

Check-in either happens at:
13700 Perdido Key Drive ste 122
Perdido Key, FL 32507
This is just around the corner from the resort!

Above our office doors is a sign 12 feet wide that reads "VACATION RENTALS" and has the Perdido Key Resort Management logo on the left-hand side of the sign.

The office closes at 5:45pm and we are closed on Sundays. Know that we can make arrangements for you to arrive after-hours or on Sundays if your travel dates require.

Please let one of our Vacation Planners know that you will need arrival assistance if you plan to get to Perdido Key outside of the office's hours.

Check-in is at 4PM. If you arrive early (after 1130am and before 400pm), we will not turn you away. You may not be able to get into your condo yet, but we will certainly allow you to enjoy the pools while you wait. Please let us know if you will be arriving early so that we can have your pool passes, parking passes and check-in paperwork ready for your arrival.

*Please note that these times are not a guarantee, but that every effort will be made to have your condo available by 4PM. Delays may be expected, especially during the Summer months, due to our commitment to provide pristine conditions and high standards of cleanliness.

We have people check-in late every week and the process is simple. It is your responsibility to let us know that you are going to be late. Call us in the office at 850-492-9999 to let us know and we will walk you through the late-arrival process. Be sure to have a pen and paper ready to write down the instructions.

Upon initial arrival, it is your responsibility to inspect your rental, as any damages or maintenance issues not reported will be deducted from your damage deposit. Please notify our office within 24 hours of any maintenance items that arise during your stay. Guests will be responsible for any damages or replacement costs that arise during occupancy.

Generally, no. You may bring water and kids juice pouches/box out to the pool deck, but no other food or drinks may be on the pool deck unless purchased from the Tiki Bar and Grill when open.

Yes. The resort has a Tiki Bar and Grill on site. PLEASE NOTE: The rental office has no control over the hours of operation, days or times of the year in which the Bar/Grill is open. The Vacation Rental Condos are managed by Perdido Key Resort Management, the Bar is not. No Refunds or Rent Reductions will be available due to the Bar/Grill being closed.

Check-out is promptly at 10AM. This means that we need to have everything (pool passes, pool keys, and condo keys) back in our office by 10AM. No exceptions unless authorized by our office at least 48 hours in advance. Our housekeeping schedule is distributed days in advance so we know how to staff for our departures. Guests who are not checked out with the office by 10AM may be charged as per our rental agreement. Sorry to be so tough on this one, but we want the folks staying after you to have a good experience as well and it takes time to get these condos cleaned up properly - especially the 2-story two and three-bedroom condos.

Bring everything issued at check-in back to our office. The keys belong to the condo owner, not the rental office. Consequently, they have a replacement value of $25 per key. It is important that they are returned as we issue these same keys to the next guests. If we are not in the office when you leave, please place the keys and passes in our green drop box to the right of the office doors.

• Load and start the dishwasher.
• Remove all food, bag all trash & place it in the dumpster.
• Ensure that all furniture is returned to its original placement.
• Leave beds unmade and set the thermostat to the cooling mode set at 80 degrees in the summer and the heating mode set at 50 degrees in the winter.

PLEASE NOTE: Guests which do not adhere to the check-out conditions will be charged for excessive cleaning. The cleaning fee imposed is not to pick up after you, but rather to sanitize the condo prior to the next guest's arrival. The housekeeping should expect to launder the linens, sweep, mop, and sanitize bathrooms and kitchens. The housekeeping should not have to rearrange furniture, take out bags of garbage, or wash the dishes you dirtied. Please leave the condo in the condition you found it in upon arrival. Please remember that, unlike a hotel room, these condos are privately owned by individuals like yourself.

You may have up to 2 cars on the property per condo reserved. All other vehicles will have to park outside of the resort gates. Street parking on Perdido Key Drive is prohibited by county ordinance. Do not park on the sand around condos or over curbs. Boats, RV's, fifth wheels, personal watercraft, as well as any and all trailers are strictly prohibited. All guests must keep the parking pass prominently displayed on the dashboard when parking on the property. Failure to do so may result in towing at the owner’s expense.

If you are planning to have a party, it will probably be best that you make reservations elsewhere. There are no parties allowed on the property. Ever.

If at any point in time, the police are called out due to a disturbance coming from your condo you will forfeit your deposit(s), your rental will be subject to additional charges or immediate cancellation of your reservation and you will receive no refund or rebate for time unused.

Perdido Key Resort Management and the Purple Parrot Resort are not responsible for any personal items which may be lost or stolen from your rental. This includes items left behind following your departure. If found, you will be notified and given the option to pay for their return.

Your reservation is subject to immediate cancellation or additional charges if you have brought more guests than allowed. Please note that fire safety codes and insurance restrictions place limits on the number of guests residing in these units.

Additionally, you are never allowed to sublet or have roommates when renting for an extended stay.

We require one (1) parent for every three (3) persons under the age of 25. The parent must be present at check-in and must remain in the property at all times during the reservation. PKRM rental properties are closely monitored for violation of this policy. Violators will be subject to expedited eviction and forfeiture of all rental payments with no refund.

If damages exceed your security deposit you may be liable for any charges in excess of your security deposit. Those charges will be billed against the credit card on file.

No. If you're a smoker you must go outside off of the condo deck, have all doors and windows closed so that the smoke cannot get into the condo, and be sure not to bring the lingering smell back into the condo. Guest understands that ALL PKRM PROPERTIES are “Non-Smoking” properties. Smoking is not permitted in the Property or in the common areas of the Property. Guest understands a sanitation fee of $1,500.00 minimum will be charged if smoke is detected in the Property at any time.
