About this property

Gorgeous Ocean Views in Modern Beachfront Home

La Vista Bonita, meaning the beautiful view in Spanish, lives up to it's name! This home sits oceanfront on a secluded white sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Your feet hit the sand at the bottom of the stairs. This 3 bedroom home is perfect for families and couples looking to relax and unwind.

A serene retreat on Alligator Point located within Bald Point State Park creates a secluded, natural environment. During your tranquil walks on the beach you may not pass anyone else along the way. This is old Florida at its finest, known as the "Forgotten Coast".

The house itself was built in 2009 and extensively remodeled in 2024. The home is finished throughout with custom details and furnishings. The improvements done in 2024 include a new primary suite bathroom with a beautiful tile shower, new custom tile shower in the hall main bath, new blinds, painting, lights and many new pieces of furniture. The open floor plan offers living areas that include the kitchen, dining, and living room. Enjoy gorgeous ocean view from all windows, including the two large bedrooms upstairs. There are two covered decks with incredible views. Watch amazing sunrises and full moons from inside or out. See dolphins as they break the waves. Fish, hunt for shells, sunbathe, or just sit waterside with a cold beverage and take in the scenery. Ocean breezes and sunlit skies make for the perfect day!

DirectTV, Wifi, and a DVD player are included, along with a large selection of movies for adults and children.

Cook your catch of the day on the gas grill and enjoy your meal on the deck with view of the ocean. In the evening sit around the beach fire pit while gazing at the stars.

This home does not have an elevator and is not handicap accessible. The stairs as show in the pictures are the only access to the home.

Awesome stay

We had a truly amazing stay. House was right on the beach and we could hear the waves and watch the dolphins swim by. Close to the state park so extra exploring there. Nice to relax with the family!!!

Quiet beach, great house

This house and beach are just as described in the listing. The house is steps from the water and the beach is so quiet. If I could give more stars I would. Everything with the house was so comfortable and the views were beautiful.

Beautiful views

Amazing sunrises! This property was comfy with great amenities. The area is quiet and great for nature lovers. We saw dolphins and deer everyday. Great views but lots of stairs so take that into consideration when booking. We loved the Adirondack chairs by the fire pit, the desk with a great view for puzzles, and the back patio for coffee in the morning. Go to the Salty Donkey for dinner. So good! Enjoy!

Fabulous Beach Getaway

10 days of beach, sun and laughter. Days spent swimming, walking miles on the beach and tranquility. Views are spectacular. We saw dolphins swim by everyday. Enjoyed numerous local restaurants for dinners. Owners responded quickly to all questions. We would highly recommend!

Great home away from home!

We had a short stay, but we enjoyed our time here a lot! The home is furnished with just about everything you could possibly need other than your food/drinks! Which makes everything even easier. We couldn't have asked for better! If you are looking for peace and quiet thos is definitely the place to stay

Nice Place

House was very nice and located in a quiet area. We felt really safe in this area. The water was clam. The only con would be we like a little more ocean depth and this was on a swallow area. We did like having all the beach toys and supplies that the owners let you borrow at no extra cost.

Absolutely fantastic. VRBO has been our "go to" for vacation since 2008. This was one of the best properties we have stayed at and will definitely be renting this one again! The house was beautiful, and the quiet beach was wonderful. Really enjoyed using the kayaks to get up close to the dolphins.

Great Vacation

We had a great time staying here. You could not ask for any better of a view. The house was really close to the beach which made it extra easy having the kids out in the beach. We needed up booking another day last minuet and Brian was very easy to work with.

About the host

Hosted by Brian and Lisa Brickley

Host profile image
We live in Michigan and have owned a tavern in Ypsilanti for 28 years which Lisa manages. Brian has been a real estate broker for over 30 years. We love Michigan but it GETS COLD up here so the search began to find a warmer get away.

Why they chose this property

Having visited the panhandle many years ago when our son was young we found the Forgotten Coast to be beautiful, quiet and free from the endless high rise buildings found through out most of Florida. Lisa had one major criteria for finding our dream home " I have to have a view of the water!" When we found this home in Alligator Point right on the gulf, we knew we had found "La Vista Bonita"!

What makes this property unique

Did we mention the view! It's absolutely breathtaking! And the fact that this is a modern home with everything you need means the perfect vacation. Being surrounded by nature within the Bald Point State Park gives opportunities for amazing outside activities such as nature hikes, biking, fishing, and boating. Although secluded you are still close to many restaurants.
