About this property

This Alligator Point Cottage is located beachfront on the Gulf of Mexico in what’s known as Florida’s Forgotten Coast. While the Forgotten Coast is not as developed as is other Florida Gulf beaches, such as Destin or Panama City, this stretch of Gulf waters has it’s own unique peaceful beauty. Large white sand beaches are accessible directly in front of the home via a private walkway straight to the water.

A Natural for Family Enjoyment:
Alligator Court Cottage is perfect for young families, seniors or just a group of friends looking for a peaceful beach stay. Alligator Point is in an excellent white sand beach and awaits you for sunning, swimming, fishing from shore or just reading a good book.

The home:
This home features two bedrooms as well as two dual living-rooms with one sleeper sofa per living room. A large screened porch for dining and watching the sunset. A fully stocked kitchen for preparing your catch of the day.

great quiet location

Good..... If you like having the beach practically to yourself, and we did, its a perfect location. However, just FYI, there are no resturaunts in the vicinity, and the nearest grocery is 17 mile one way. We did not mind this as we prefer to bring groceries and cook. The kitchen was well stocked with all cooking utensils you need. Also the property manager was very nice and easy to work with. We did not complain to her because there was not anything she could do, the owners need to step it up. Bad.....Furnishings are very old and worn out. The one couch with a throw on it is filthy! . Spent first day cleaning. Really needs to be updated and cleaned. If this was done we would not hesitate to come back for the location.

A perfect getaway

50 steps to the beach (we measured), beautiful Gulf of Mexico, and all the house accommodations we could ask for at this price. What else you should know... The closest small food store is 5 miles away. The beach sand is gorgeous. The water is a bit stained due to the nearby Ochlockonee River (might vary with the tide.)

Perfect spot right on the beach

This little old style cottage was the perfect spot for my aunt and I to have a little getaway at the beach. Since it sits right on the ground, there were few steps to navigate into the house or to go out to the beach and the view couldn't have been more perfect! We loved walking to the beach and down along the water each day. The house is set up so that on each side of the house is a bedroom and bath with a little sitting area. It is the perfect layout for two couples or two friends to enjoy time at the beach together.

Best vacation spot ever!!

This place was perfect for the girl'a getaway we had planned. The separate living quarters gave us space but we spent most of our time in the screened in porch in the back of the house or on the beach, which is right there! The house was clean and had everything we needed to cook while we were there. We couldn't have asked for a better place. And the property manager was very nice and accommodating when out plans changed. We are already planning our next trip back!

Perfect family vacation, away from it all

We had a great time at Alligator Point!! The house was the perfect size for our 2 families. The beach and area are beautiful! We enjoyed fishing off the shore, spending time at the beach, and finding shells. We saw dolphins everyday and it was amazing to see them play right in front of us off the shore. We also saw sting rays swimming close to shore, feeding. We visited the gulf shore aquarium and Bald Point State Park, both worth checking out!

Will be returning

This house was perfect for my family! Easy check in process and communication. The house had a wide open kitchen and the 2 living areas were perfect for watching Andy while the kids had cartoons on for the rainy day. Two outside showers were great for rinsing off sand. There were extra towels and sheets. We also enjoyed the screen porch with the kids for evening dinner! Loved staying here, will definitely return.

Great and quite place for a family

We were family of 4. Sufficient space for all. Clean and well equipped. The beach and the few restaurants around were great. We saw the owner just for few minutes upon arrival and did not need calling them during our stay. If you are looking for a place to relax and spend some time with your family this is the place to be. Will definetelly consider this house in the feature.

Alligator Point

What a place to visit to make memories of a lifetime. Like seashell? This is your spot. Tiny to large and as many as you can take back with you. Wave were minimal. Great for little ones. During high tide though they got it was perfect for the 5 and up ages. Clean beaches. They even had turtle eggs buried up down the beach. I do recommend visiting on WED-SUN. For that you can hit the small amount of restaurants in the area. They are only open Thursday thur sunday. Get what you need before you get there the Walmart is 40 minutes out. We loved it and will return to the forgotten shores.

Awesome Vacation House!

Our family had a WONDERFUL time at this vacation house! The house was very well equipped with EVERYTHING that we needed and the location can't be beat! We spent mornings and evenings taking in the views from the screened in porch and spent our days on the beach right outside the front door. There was a ton of wildlife in the area too (starfish, dolphins, seabirds). We had 2 couples with 3 young kids between us and the layout of the house worked perfect for us. There are 2 master suites (with full bathrooms) and 2 living rooms (both with fold out beds) joined together by a nice open kitchen. There are not a lot of restaurants or shops in the area, which is kind of the idea. The two places that we chose for dinners out were Angelo's and Posey's. Both were delicious! All in all, if you're looking for a quiet place to spend some quality time in a beautiful location this is the spot for you. I truly hope that we get the opportunity to visit again soon!
