About this property

Direct Beach front-Pet Friendly-Immaculate, 3 Bedroom Oceanfront Paradise

Beautifully furnished, immaculately kept and recently redecorated 3 bedroom, 2 bath, ocean front beach home welcomes everyone along with their furry family members to a relaxing, fun-filled vacation on the Forgotten Coast at Alligator Point. MoonShadow has a fully equipped kitchen with all the pots/pans and tools you'll need to prepare that gourmet meal. There are plenty of towels, beach towels and even doggy towels for everyone. All the bedrooms and livingroom have huge flatscreen tv's with cable. The comfy sunporch features a daybed that opens into 2 twin beds and the huge comfy couch will accommodate someone comfortably. The outside of the house offers plenty of seating areas on both upper and lower decks. The upper deck features a firetable for those evenings of wine and stargazing while the lower deck has a gas bbq, dining table, couch and lounge chairs including an outside shower and fish sink. Swim or work on your tan at the beach which is just a couple of steps down our walkway to the beach. Take a long walk on our white sand beach where most times you have the beach to yourself and our local dolphins will swim next to you while you walk. Catch your own dinner and cook it yourself on the BBQ or treat yourself and enjoy one of our local seafood restaurants.
Stay a week or two and forget all about your problems, rekindle that romance, connect again to the kids and rejuvenate your soul by the Gulf of Mexico. Spend some time at MoonShadow and leave renewed.

I did not read the reviews of this house when I booked it. I saw it had a 10/10 rating and that was good enough. I have been booking houses on VRBO for nearly 20 years now and I have never stayed in a house this good before. The house was nice, clean and exactly as advertised. But what made it stand out was the thoughtfulness and preparation of the house owners. As a mother, I truly appreciated the "little things" -- things that you forget to bring -- like Qtips, bandaids, sunscreen. All this and more was stocked and ready for us to use. We had to buy very little. A turtle nest was discovered near the house and they contacted us to let us know and provided instructions for the protection of the turtles. Their care and concern for us and wildlife made it a most pleasant stay.

We returned to Moon Shadow following a wonderful visit this past summer. It lived up to our expectations, and was absolutely magical with the empty beaches and unbeatable accommodations. Moon Shadow is the cleanest, most well stocked rental we've ever experienced and we highly recommend.

Best VRBO we’ve ever booked. And that’s saying something because we’ve stayed in a lot of VRBOs over the years, including two others in Alligator Point, which we absolutely love for the peace and quiet. This home was hands-down the best.Everything from the communication to check-in was smooth and easy. The home was spotless and so thoughtfully put together with the nicest little touches throughout. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked. Honestly, if they didn’t have a kitchen tool, you probably didn’t need it.One thing I especially appreciated was how easy it was to get in and out of the house. If you’ve ever dealt with complicated locks or awkward entry systems at rentals, you know exactly what I mean. This setup was simple and stress-free.We brought our Labrador with us, and I loved not having to constantly worry about him getting off the property. And the rugs on the boardwalk? Absolutely priceless. No hot feet, no splinters, and no hot paws either.Thank you for sharing such a wonderful home. We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this property. Perfect for families with pets. The host went above a beyond anything we expected (or have experienced) at other properties. The home is unbelievably well equipped and ready for anything we needed. We’ve never booked the same property twice, but we’re already planning to rebook this property for the upcoming summer!

The house was beautiful, it had everything you needed and I mean everything. We even had a little welcome package and I thought that was very nice. The only down fall was the weather but we still enjoyed ourselves. I would recommend this property to anyone, it was just beautiful.

Amazing!!

Vacationing at Moonshadow is fabulous!! It feels like coming home, to the beach. They thought of everything to make it comfortable. Our favorites included the fully equipped kitchen, beautiful ocean view from every room, outdoor living area, outdoor shower, and by far the cleanest place we have every stayed. The fenced in area was a bonus for our fur baby. Such a great place to enjoy the beach!!

Spacious and well-appointed

Our family group of six adults stayed over a holiday weekend. Multiple sitting areas inside and out provided room for togetherness and for solitude. It's ideal fo people who like to cook -- the kitchen had everything! We liked the split floor plan, with the master bedroom at one end of the house and the other bedrooms at the opposite end. The outdoor was just as thoughtfully equipped as the inside, and our host made us feel very welcome.

Best Stocked Rental Ever

They have really thought of everything, from the welcome bottle of wine and eggs to the bar and the well stocked bathrooms. We had everything we could need and more. The house is amazing and the beach is beautiful. The local parrot, Marley, was a hoot and really confusing to our dogs. Our only complaint is that the water is not clear, so this beach isn't really good for swimming, though the dogs sure enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We really try to think of everything that you could need to make your vacation great. Unfortunately the beach is not as nice as it usually is in the spring and summer months as it is in September when you guys were there. This is usually due to rain runoff and the river feeding into the ocean, etc., etc. the good news is that the water is rated one of the cleanest in the gulf. And the dolphins love it! Thanks again and hope to see you’ll again. Jackie

Best Place Ever!

I have been using VRBO for 15-plus years and have stayed in many houses, usually twice a year. This beach house is by far the best place for my family! The graciousness and communication with the host is absolutely superior! The location is perfect and right on the beach. The amenities are perfect! If you love to be in a private and quiet place away from crowds and loud noises, this is the place for you! The house on the beach with a lovely boardwalk right out to the beach! The outdoor area is amazing! We love Alligator Point and will definitely be coming back for years to come!

Beyond Expectations!

I’ve looked forward to this trip for about a year. Arriving at the house I was blown away at the attention to detail by the amenities, decor and special touches made to make me and my family feel welcome. We love the area and have come for years. I rent homes several times a year and this one by far has been the best for me and my family so much so we’ve reserved it again for next year. The home is everything and more in the description. The master features a bathroom that is accommodating to some that might have minor mobility issues with bars in the shower. The downstairs shower was amazing and helped with the number of folks we had it served as an extra shower. Additionally my family includes our furbabies and we were allowed to have them all with us. The home is so great with a fenced yard for them to play as you hang out in the amazing downstairs outside area! Lastly the owner is a woman that exemplifies honesty and integrity. I didn’t realize I reserved the house for an extra night (a Sunday) and thought I’d reserved Saturday to Saturday. When she brought it to my attention after letting them know we’d left the home, she immediately said she’d refund me the night. This she did not have to do as it was my mistake but we’d already left and were several hours away. She did refund me and I was so grateful! She is definitely and honest and wonderful host! I’d recommend her and this home to anyone looking for a nice family getaway!

Sarah, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It’s guests like you and your family that make us love what we’re doing. As far as the refund for the extra night, we all make mistakes and there was no way in good conscious that I could have not sent it back to you. I would only hope to be treated fairly like this if I made such a mistake. Which, by the way, I do quite often. Thank you for taking such good care of the house. We’re looking forward to having you all back next year. Once again thank you for your kind words. Jackie
