Stylish and spacious 70’s bungalow on Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Perfectly peaceful getaway for birdwatching, beach time, and embracing a slower pace. Watch dolphins from your couch. Fish from the beach. Relax and recharge in this renovated ranch!
The space
Get ready to relax and recharge in this fully remodeled 3-bedroom house on remote, peaceful Alligator Point, Florida – a hidden gem nestled along the Gulf of Mexico that boasts eight miles of pristine coastline, world-class fishing, and abundant wildlife. You’ve come to the perfect place as a traveler seeking unspoiled beaches and unforgettable experiences.
This "old Florida" 1970s build single-story bungalow offers plenty of space for a family respite or grown ups’ getaway, a soothing atmosphere to make guests feel right at home, with direct access to the dunes and beach. Totally remodeled with all modern conveniences and amenities, you'll love living among the exposed wooden beams, Spanish tiles, quartz countertops, curated artwork, comfy couches and more. Spend endless days on the large outdoor deck, in a rocking chair, watching dolphins or sea birds, and witnessing Florida's most beautiful sunset views.
With 1 king, 1 queen, and 2 full bunked beds, there's plenty of space for everyone to unwind and recharge. There are three dens - two facing the beach. The main living room faces the water. You can watch dolphins from our enormous, comfortable sectional sofa!
Behind the sectional is an oversized dinner table also facing the beach and it seats 6. The kitchen has bar stools and another small 4-person table for breakfast, arts & crafts, or puzzles. There is also a dedicated desk space at the front of the house for any "work from home" enthusiasts.
The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, cooktop, pots & pans, toaster, coffee maker, air fryer, refrigerator, dishes/silverware/cups, and even kids' dishes. You will LOVE cooking up fresh seafood from one of our favorite vendors (check out Mineral Springs Seafood!) and serving it up family-style in our oversized dining area. Pack your coolers, fish on the beach, cook, carry on and ENJOY the slower pace at Alligator Point!
Two newly remodeled bathrooms - one with a tub for easy kids’ baths! A third shower outdoors and a rinse-off station for beach days. You and your guests will truly love how simple it is to visit the beach! Start your morning searching for seashells and end your day walking the coast to see our unique, satsuma-orange colored sunsets.
Fast WiFi (with boosters throughout the house!), indoor washer/dryer, AC, ceiling fans and Smart TVs in every bedroom, with direct beach access. We provide all towels and a starter-pack of toilet paper and paper towels. Please bring your own toiletries and food. If you plan on fishing please bring separate bait containers.
Whether you're lounging in the cozy indoors or exploring the beautiful surrounding areas, we hope you enjoy our secret hideaway! Alligator Point is a best kept secret of Florida's "Forgotten Coast!" Embrace the slower pace of life here!
By the way -- NO there are not alligators here (that we know of!?). The Point got it's name from the shape of the peninsula and how its lush pine tree landscape resembles that of an Alligator's open mouth from the coast.
NOTE: This is a well-loved, family property - used frequently by its owners. We have a firm no parties and no unannounced guests policy. No pets. Unauthorized guests or pets will result in immediate removal without refund. Absolutely no drugs or smoking on the premises. There are exterior cameras on the property. Thank you!
