The Purple Parrot has 3 levels of fun, including a 3rd story game room, called the “Crow’s Nest”. Conveniently located in a small, private beach-side community of DeSoto Landings, it features Gulf views from the second floor, and a panoramic view from the third floor- all the way to the Sand Island lighthouse.
While not located directly on the beach, the Purple Parrot is just a few hundred yards from the boardwalk to the neighborhood’s private Gulf of Mexico beach, Pool, Tennis Courts, or boardwalk to the neighborhoods’ Gulf Beach. This small, private, gated community shares a pool, cabana, tennis court and Gulf of Mexico beach.
As with all of our Dauphin Island homes, all linens and towels are provided, WIFI, along with a fully-outfitted kitchen. Everything you need for a great beach vacation is here. This house may be pet-friendly, with prior written permission.

Very Nice Place!
Very nice place! Everything that I thought it would be. If they fix the gate coming into the community, there is nothing else negative to say. The house was awesome. This would be a great set-up for a big family or a couple of families. Bring your groceries!!!! or plan on traveling back across the bridge. Not much on the island (grocery stores or restaurants)… especially in the off season.
Adam Johnson says
Thank you Grady! We are so glad you enjoyed the house and our island. We appreciate your kind words. Dauphin Island is a great place to bring the whole family. There is lots of space for everyone to have their own space. You should come back next time!

Purple Parrot In a word awesome… 11 of us stayed here for 10 days while we trained with the City of Mobile Police Department Motorcycle Unit Mardi Gras training. Although the drive back to town each day was a little long it was a way to relax and unwind. The house was great thanks for everything. John Hankins

Lovely!
Just returned from a fall weekend at Purple Parrot. The web site pictures do NOT do it justice. The house is very large, comfortable and well appointed. It truly exceeded our expectations! Have never been to Dauphin Island and found it very charming. Nancy from the rental agency was extremely helpful. I would definitely rent this house in the future. Thank you for a delightful stay!
Adam Johnson says
Thank you so much for your review! This is a beautiful home and we are happy you enjoyed your stay. I am thrilled that you will be back in the future. Have a lovely day!

The Purple Parrot exceeded our expectations!
When our family arrived at the Purple Parrot each of us was a bit stressed in our own way…work/school/life was a bit overwhelming. We were only coming from Mobile so this was a different sort of vacation for us. BUT the minute we walked into the Purple Parrot we knew we were in for a good relaxing weekend. The pictures on the internet do not do justice to this beautiful home. From the king sized beds to the claw foot bath tubs to the huge showers to the third floor game room and the large amazing kitchen – it was all perfect! Also the golf cart and the large decks – the quiet community…all put together for a memory making time our family will not quickly forget! We did have a few minor issues – such as the internet service and the microwave not working but they really were minor issues…our time at the Purple Parrot was one of our best vacations ever! Thanks you so much!
Adam Johnson says

Fun Break
Ages 7-69 enjoyed a fun week. Some minor problems with the internet and house but we had a wonderful time. We thoroughly enjoyed the beach and Dauphin Island. The family took the golf cart all around the area. Lots of walking up and down the beautiful beach. The area was dog friendly. I would be thrilled to go back to the Purple Parrot.
Adam Johnson says
Thank you for your wonderful review, Kaylie. I was very excited to read that your family of all ages enjoyed their time at the Purple Parrot! It sounds like you had a really great time and took advantage of the amenities that we offer such as walking the beach and enjoying Dauphin Island’s pet-friendly beaches. I am so glad to hear that you had a wonderful stay with us and hope we can accommodate you again on your next vacation to Dauphin Island!

Easter Week Vacation 2010
We had never been to Alabama and had a nice time. The house was absolutely beautiful. The bikes were not in working order, I think it would be nice to purchase a few new ones. The golf cart was way TO SLOW. I would love to stay in the house yearly but don’t think we would ever come back to the island again. Not near enough to do or see. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share our thoughts. The Putnams
Adam Johnson says
Hi Putnam family, I’m glad you had a nice time and that the house was beautiful! We hope you will consider coming back again in the future. We’re sorry to hear about the bikes and golf cart, we’ll get on that right away. Thank you for your constructive feedback!

Wonderful Time
We had three generations at the house and enjoyed our stay there.
