    Oceanfront Retro Beach Home on the Gulf! New Windows in 2024 to Enjoy the Views

    Breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico! Great fishing right out front and beach access is a 2 minute drive away! This nearly 1,700 sf oceanfront home has 2 bungalows that are connected by a breezeway. The front bungalow has a large living space, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and 2 bedrooms. The back bungalow has an office space with a single bed, a bedroom with a queen bed, a half bath, a laundry/shower room, and a mud room. The two homes are connected by a breezeway that makes a perfect home for a large family that either wants a private area in back or leave the doorway open for children. The exterior of the home has the best of both worlds with the gulf 60’ away in the front and a private serene backyard in the back. The dolphins are a daily site from the front porch! The back has a canal that brings in various herons and cranes for the bird lovers. In the evenings you can enjoy a fire iby one of two fire pits and view the stars without any light pollution!

    Please note that this home is located on Alligator Point. If this is your first time vacationing here, please do your research of the area and the Forgotten Coast. Alligator Point is in a secluded laid back area of Florida aka “Old Florida”.

    Nice getaway!
    It’s a nice getaway from the fast pace and busy schedule of life. The beach wasn’t crowded even though it was prime spring break time and we were able to get some good sunbathing in. The water was not the clear blue of the gulf coast that we were expecting, but it was still good to play around in and there were plenty of dolphin sightings! Star gazing was amazing as there is little to no light pollution. The owners were very responsive and helpful and great to work with. Knowing that the closest Walmart was 45 minutes away, we opted to bring our food - that worked out well for us. It was a great place to stay if a laid back, relaxed beach vacation is what you’re looking for!

    Beach house, Alligator Point
    Andrea, the owner, was very helpful on all occasions, from booking to check out. The beachside house was very clean and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The house is centrally located for easy access to hiking trails, public beaches, bird watching and cycling. The beach house on Alligator Point is definitely a rental we would consider returning to.

    Spent a week in September with the wife and dogs. House was clean and well equipped. Soft sheets and warm breezes. Wifi worked well and the beer was cold. Communication with the owners was outstanding. We're looking forward to spending time there again.

    Family vacation 23
    We enjoyed our first visit to Aligator Point. It is the most peaceful relaxing place. The house was perfect size and decorated beautifully, very cheerful and exactly what you would want in a beach house. The apartment in the back was nice but the A/C did not work adequately back there, it never cooled down the whole week we were there. The bedrooms were nice size but we found bugs in the one we stayed in so probably need to have an exterminator come out to spray. We loved the view from the front porch, watching the pelicans diving after the fish and seeing the dolphins was fun. The only disappointment was that you cannot access the water in front of the house. We saw in the photos that it was rocky but thought there would at least be access to the water. Overall we enjoyed our vacation and the beach 1/4 mile down the road was nice and very private, we found many beautiful shells.
