Private pool, boat dock & screened porches - 1.5 blocks to public beach access.

Our beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath beach house with a covered boat dock and saltwater pool overlooks the first of three canals leading to Alligator Harbor and the Gulf -- the perfect spot for paddle boarding, fishing, and kayaking, or escaping to unplug and relax. Our home is located on a child friendly dead end street with a wood fenced in backyard.

Our 15' x 30' saltwater pool surrounded by a huge open deck, with locking gates at both entrances, is the perfect place to completely unwind and create new memories. The water is usually warm enough to swim from March through mid-October.

One of the only three public beach access points is less than a block and a half from home, and we provide a wheeled fishing cart, rolling chair and cooler cart, and wheeled cooler to get you there with ease. Assorted coolers, kids beach toys, and lifejackets are available as well. A delightful hot/cold outdoor lighted shower will wash off the sand and surf before you plunge back into the pool.

Our dock offers running water, a fish cleaning station, power, lights, and a peaceful place to watch the blue herons, white egrets, and bald eagles. Cast your net for a mullet dinner, catch live bait for fishing, or bait up and toss out the provided blue crab traps. The kids will love catching crabs, and you'll love eating them.

With a dock for your boat or one you decide to rent, beach access just steps away, and a gorgeous private pool, it's no surprise that many guests return year after year.

Two long screened in porches with ceiling fans and gulf and bay breezes makes reclining on the day bed or eating outside inviting and bug free. Having screened in porches in Florida are a must! Sliding glass doors on all four corners of the house give you a wonderful cross breeze in spring and fall along with wonderful views year round.

We offer a wall-mounted swinging arm 55" screen in the living room/dining room/kitchen, and another smart TV downstairs. Wireless internet, ethernet cable, and HDMI connection available for high speed gaming access and movie downloads on your Apple TV or game system. Or pop one of the DVDs in the players that we provide. If you need to work or attend classes remotely, we've got you covered.

Free standing small ice machine provides roughly 150 lbs of ice per day. No more trips to the store for enough ice to take to the beach - fill your cooler and when you return you'll have plenty of ice for cocktail hour.

Start each day with breakfast seating for 8 on the screened in front porch and a walk on the beach hunting for shells. Ride bikes down to the Tiki Bar, hit the hiking trails in Bald Point, grab a camera for birding in St. Marks, go shopping in Apalachicola, or take the kids to the outdoor Gulf Specimen Marine Lab & Aquarium in Panacea. After a swim and sand castle building at the beach, wrap up the day with a dip in the pool and cocktails on the screened in back porch at sunset, then toss your catch of the day on the gas grill.

Breathe in the aroma of blooming flowers and pine scented salt air, and let Alligator Point work its' magic on your soul. It's the perfect place for your much needed getaway.

Let ''Bottoms Up'' be your next family vacation paradise.
