Our stay was pleasant despite an injury self sustained falling. Our family enjoyed the location and The Blue Heron. Thanksgiving on the beach was perfect. Shout out to first responders on Alligator Point who responded quickly with warmth and compassion. Will visit again!
Our family had the most perfect week at The Blue Heron. The listing is even better than the pictures show - so spacious, clean, and can see the ocean from every room. Alligator Point is a hidden gem & we couldn’t have asked for better accommodations/host!
Big thing about this place was SPACE. We loved our stay at Josh's place, there was 20 of us of all ages and there was so many different spaces inside and out.
We loved our stay and will defiantly be back!
We had a family vacation ages zero- 86
Everyone loved it!!!
Dolphins were so close and we were able to kayak right up to them!!
House was amazing- plenty of room for everyone!!
Very nice and spacious home. The house is nicely decorated and is open, bright and cheerful with lots of big windows for enjoying the ocean and bay views. There are also, lots of spacious comfortable bedrooms and multiple porches which were so nice for dining and getting out of the sun. The pool was a nice perk too for taking a break from the beach. We would definitely recommend this lovely home for anyone.
We had a great time staying at this beachfront property. The kitchen was fantastic for cooking family meals, the beach was beautiful, ample space for 4 families (the kids loved the bunk bed room), and Josh was a great host. Thank you!
Overall, the house served its purpose for our family vacation. If you are looking to get away from everything this is the place to go, it is miles from anything groceries, restaurants and people.
The location is superb! The house is right on the beach and across the street from more water. Every window you look out has a calming view! There was plenty of space for us 9 adults and 8 kids (what an awesome bunk room!) We really enjoyed the back porch with loads of seating. We were also worried about enough room to store food for the entire weekend - but the fridge and storage spaces are huge. Thanks for a great stay!
Despite a little disruption by Hurricane Debby, we had a wonderful time! The house was beautiful, clean, and just steps away from the beach. We enjoyed fishing, collecting sea shells, and spending time on the beach! Josh was a great host!
This house was perfect for our three families with teenage kids (13 people). Large gathering areas and places to get away all in one house. Water views out all windows. Steps from the beach. Access to the dock was a nice addition and gives something more to do. Very quiet area, basically had the beach to ourselves most days. Josh is very helpful and quick to respond! Would recommend this house and Josh to anyone.
We had a wonderful time at the house. The house was very clean and well appointed. Plenty of space to spread out with multiple sitting areas and tables for games. Loved the pool and all of the porches. We had everything we needed and more.
Beautiful home on the beach with a pool. We so enjoyed our time and utilized the whole house. It was spacious and so comfortable. Will definitely keep in mind for future trips!
Wonderful, Large House for a Large Family Gathering!
It's pretty amazing to find a house that will fit our entire family (11 Adults + 5 Kids) - it was the perfect place to host a celebration for my parent's 40th Wedding Anniversary. The host was super responsive and helpful each step of the way!
This house is everything as described and more. We had the best time. Alligator point is a beautiful location. The house is well appointed and cared for, great pool, amazing kitchen, beautiful rooms. Josh is a wonderful host and we would love to come back again!!

About the host
Hosted by Josh Simmons
Welcome to our beach house! This home was custom built over a 2 year period, many custom touches to be the best house on the gulf. Too many features to include online. Built to exceed hurricane standards and leave nothing to be desired in a relaxing beach vacation.
Why they chose this property
Once you've stayed with us, all other vacation rentals pale by comparison. You won't find a better house on the gulf. After years on the gulf, having lived in and owned a dozen beach houses, this house was conceived and designed by the owner/builder to incorporate all the best features. Combined with an amazing gulf to bay setting with beautiful wide beaches and surrounded by water, it doesn't get any better. The house was designed to bring large groups and families together yet have areas to retreat for privacy and relaxation. When you're not on the private beach enjoying the gulf or headed to your boat moored on the bay in front of the property, sneak away to the 3rd floor porch and relax on the outdoor sectional sofa and enjoy the sea breeze, make a splash in the pool, soak in the sun on the composite raised decks or cool off in the shade on the 600 sq foot ipe deck.
What makes this property unique
Open and spacious common areas and huge bedrooms with 10 foot ceilings on main level and soaring lofted ceiling on the upper level with gulf or bay view from every room -- many with both.
