WHY Perdido Realty Vacations?

Your Trusted Vacation Partner on The Gulf Coast Since 1971

Perdido Realty Vacations has been helping guests make memories on the beautiful shores of Perdido Key for more than 50 years. Founded in 1971, our company has grown from a small family-run business into one of the most trusted vacation rental providers on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Our story begins with Valerie and Allan Hawkins, who purchased Perdido Realty in 1994 after falling in love with Perdido Key's quiet beaches, tight-knit community, and laid-back coastal lifestyle. What started as a local real estate office grew into Perdido Realty Vacations—built on integrity, exceptional service, and a deep love for this one-of-a-kind island paradise. Over the years, Valerie and Allan nurtured strong relationships with homeowners and guests alike, and their legacy continues to guide every aspect of our business today.

In 2025, Perdido Realty Vacations partnered with Pointe South, a fellow Gulf Coast hospitality leader, to expand vacation rental services and provide even more options for our owners and guests. This partnership allows us to offer increased marketing exposure, enhanced technology, more destinations, and a broader team of local professionals—all while staying true to the personal, attentive service that’s always set us apart.

Together with Pointe South, we now offer an even greater selection of premium vacation rentals throughout Perdido Key and beyond. Whether you're searching for a cozy beachfront resort condo or a spacious private beach home, our combined teams are here to help you find the perfect coastal escape.

Our team remains proudly local, with deep roots in the Perdido Key community. From our reservation specialists to our property care staff, each member of the Perdido Realty Vacations and Pointe South team shares the same commitment to guest satisfaction and homeowner success.

We know Perdido Key—because we live here, work here, and care deeply about preserving the beauty and spirit of our coastal home.
