Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Slow Mo is a one-bedroom beach cottage located within the Purple Parrot Resort, a Key West-style property on the barrier island of Perdido Key, Florida. The ground-level unit sits just steps from the resort's swimming pool and Tiki Bar/Grill and about three minutes from white sand Gulf beaches. It has been recently renovated with a coastal design theme and is positioned for guests who want beach proximity without being in a crowded high-rise setting.
Rooms & Layout
The cottage features a new king-size bed, a queen sleeper sofa, two large flat-screen TVs, two chairs, and a screened-in porch for relaxing outdoors. Parking is directly in front of the unit for easy ground-level access. Air conditioning, heating, cable TV, an ironing board, and free Wi-Fi round out the in-unit comforts.
Kitchen & Dining
A well-stocked kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave allows guests to cook full meals if they prefer dining in. For eating out, the on-site Purple Parrot Beach Bar & Grill is roughly 75 meters away, and nearby options include Perdido Key Sports Bar & Restaurant, Perdido Key Breakfast Club, The Jellyfish, Fisherman's Corner, Sunset Grille, and Bushwackers Landing, all within about a two-kilometer walk.
Amenities & Recreation
The resort offers an outdoor pool with two waterfalls, an island hot tub, an indoor heated pool for cooler months, an indoor hot tub, two saunas, and a fitness center. In-unit, guests also have access to a washer for laundry, making longer stays more convenient. The surrounding area supports snorkeling, motor boating, cycling, hiking, golf, fishing, and a marina.
Location
Perdido Key Beach and Orange Beach Beaches are within easy reach, and attractions such as The Wharf, the Orange Beach Indian and Sea Museum, and Adventure Island are nearby for those seeking activities beyond the sand. The closest airport is Gulf Shores International Airport at Jack Edwards Field (about 23.7 km), with Pensacola International Airport roughly 29.7 km away.
Best for
This cottage suits couples and small families seeking a quiet beach getaway with resort-style amenities, thanks to its proximity to the pool, Tiki Bar, and Gulf beaches just minutes away. It also appeals to self-catering travelers, given the fully equipped kitchen and in-unit washer, and to those wanting an active vacation with nearby snorkeling, boating, cycling, and fishing.
Travel tips
Gulf Shores International Airport at Jack Edwards Field is the closest airport at about 24 kilometers, making it the most convenient arrival point, though Pensacola International Airport is also nearby. Since the cottage is ground-level with parking directly out front, having a car is useful for reaching restaurants along Perdido Key and side trips to attractions like The Wharf. Many dining options, including the on-site Purple Parrot Beach Bar & Grill, are within a short walk, so guests can plan car-free evenings around the resort.
