Amazing vacation

This is our second time staying here. Since our last vacation, there has been a new deck added to the back of the house. So relaxing as we watch dolphins swim in the morning. We love the setup of the house. Everything is just so comfortable and relaxing!!

Family of 8 vacationing Memorial Day Week at our favorite part of the Forgotten Coast - Alligator Point. Great house that balances great modern conveniences with the old charm of your grandparents beach cottage. It has an elevator so you can bring mobile limited relatives. Direct access to your own beach 20 steps from the house. Owner is immediately responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work out any issues. Will return and visit again.

Shifting Sands

The property was perfect for us. So much open outdoor space, with 7 of us there, we never felt cooped up. The beach was amazing. Our son and his girlfriend got engaged on the beach and the engagement pics turned out great. One thing to note, there was a lot of sea grass coming in. Amenities were as described and all bed and bath linens were clean and in abundance. Chip and Josh were prompt with responses and super helpful with any questions we had. We would love to stay here again!

Fabulous getaway!!

We had the best time at Shifting Sands!! The decks on the front and the back of the house are amazing! We spent a lot of time on both of them! The view from inside of the house was incredible and we couldn't get enough of it! The house was very comfortable and very spacious. We loved the layout. Everything was just as expected! We enjoyed long walks on the beach and watching the birds and the dolphins! Josh was an excellent host and we really appreciated him.

Beautiful Beach Home!

We had a wonderful stay at Alligator Point! The house was beautiful, kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and the fish cleaning station was a great bonus for our family that loves to fish on the beach. This is our third trip to Alligator Point and it’s always a great time!

Perfect secluded getaway!

Perfect family vacation spot, especially during the pandemic when being away from crowds was highly desired. Josh is a great host- easily accessible if anything is needed and he even checked in during our stay when he was planning to come to the point for something else to see if we needed anything!

About the house and the host...

We arrived, got inside easily, loved the place. Cometh then the hurricane. Josh urged us to leave, told us why, and later refunded us the 3 days lost. I almost told him to keep it in exchange for a future stay but we'll take the money and pay it back to him if we're fortunate enough to get back there.
