Blue Crab
**Complimentary COOLED Pool for Blue Crab guests during the warmest months**

With its soft, turquoise color and beachy vibe, Blue Crab begins to welcome you to the Gulf Coast the moment you drive (or boat) up. This cheerful riverfront vacation home can sleep up to 10 guests and includes a separate studio apartment on the ground floor. This layout is perfect for two families or separate couples vacationing together in the paradise we call Perdido Key.

Outside Living

It’s all about the water here in Perdido Key, and Blue Crab takes advantage of its waterfront proximity to Old River. There are multiple decks and balconies located on both sides of this home, all outfitted with new outdoor seating for access to the cool, river breeze from all levels of this three-story home. Bedroom decks offer views into the leafy green trees, gulf beach, or the river in the back. The large, riverside deck and ground floor patio both have plenty of room for gathering the entire family together for eating, playing, or just watching the dolphins search for their next meal. 

There’s also great fishing to be had right off the private pier, just a few steps from your rental. The owner has been kind enough to provide a few kayaks for your use, so get out there on the water! There are waterways to be explored and fish to catch. 
There’s a beach volleyball court set up in the side yard, ready for a few friendly, family competitions. Not into volleyball? Use that net for a paddleball or badminton game. The soft, white sand is perfect for tossing a Frisbee or football (no worries about hitting unsuspecting sunbathers), setting up a bocce ball court, corn hole game, yoga, or sandcastle building. 

You and your guests will end up spending most of your time out on the patio, decks, and balconies watching the boats and the glorious sunsets. If you’ve been lucky enough to catch your limit, clean them up and grill out on the main deck’s big Weber gas grill. Besides comfortable seating, there’s a dining table and chairs ready for your next outdoor meal. The hot tub is there to soak away the remaining stress and ease those sore muscles. A private saltwater pool was also added in 2022 and can be heated during the cooler months (additional fees apply).

**Saltwater Pool heating is a seasonal amenity. Not available from Memorial Day to Labor Day.** Additional Fees Apply**

Inside Amenities 

Bright white walls, rich warm wood floors, and beach accents will have the stress levels easing in no time. The entire wall in the living room is glass, letting in natural light and that glorious, riverfront view. There’s an electric fireplace if things cool down, and ceiling fans and AC when things heat up. 

Comfortable seating in the living room will welcome you and your tired guests after a long day of fishing, swimming, and having fun. With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, this unit can accommodate up to 10 guests- plenty of room for a large family getaway with room to spare! The dining area seats 6 at the table with 3 additional seats at the kitchen counter/bar. The open floor plan lets you enjoy the stunning river view from your fully equipped kitchen while preparing your catch-of-the-day or snacks for game night. The main bedroom and bath are on this level and share the river view. There are two more bedrooms on the upper floor with a shared bath and each of these bedrooms have their own balcony.

Blue Crab also has a studio apartment located on the ground floor with its own private entrance, perfect for a multi-generational family or several couples. The studio apartment features its own fully equipped kitchen, dining table, bathroom, and separate washer and dryer. What could be more convenient? The studio apartment opens onto the partially covered patio and more of that lovely river view. 

Green Living at Blue Crab

The owner promotes green living in this private home. The house’s power is supported by a 5.90 KW solar panel array on the south-facing portion of the roof, which makes up for a third of the energy consumption. Additionally, you will find LED light bulbs, green landscaping, and recycling, just to name a few of the other sustainable features of this home.

Perdido Key
Perdido Key is a beautiful, narrow strip of paradise on Florida’s Gulf Coast. It’s just minutes away from Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, but less crowded. Known for sugary, white sand and beautiful, emerald waters, you can enjoy all of your favorite watersports here- fishing, swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, parasailing, and more! There are several historic forts like Fort McRee, Fort Barrancas, and Fort Pickens to explore. If you enjoy hiking and biking, Big Lagoon State Park and Perdido Key State Park are great places to experience the beautiful outdoors.

If you don’t feel like cooking (who can blame you- you’re on vacation) Cobalt’s, Fisherman’s Corner, The Original Point Restaurant, The Gulf, Lillian’s Pizza are all worth a try! No visit to the Gulf Coast would be complete without a trip to the world-famous Flora-Bama Lounge or Flora-Bama Yacht Club (Yacht Club is kid-friendly) to enjoy their famous Bushwackers, oysters, and live music! Hub Stacey’s also has live music. There is something for the whole family in Perdido Key!
