We absolutely loved this house. It was so peaceful with just a handful of people either way you looked on the beach any day of the week or the weekend. People were so friendly and it felt like heaven on earth. The house had everything you would need and if we ever had a question about anything. We would get a response within minutes. Plenty of room for parking that was shaded which was a plus. It was perfect!!

My husband and I stayed 12 nights and didn’t want to leave! The house was clean, well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. We watched dolphins every morning from our balcony. The serene atmosphere was perfect for us. The Pickleball courts were a plus! We will be back.

Fantastic stay at the Skipper!

The perfect place for a group of four. This a not a place to go if you a looking for a touristy area. It was absolutely perfect for us. Quiet, beach access right out back. All the amenities we needed and spacious enough we weren’t in each others way. We’d definitely stay here again.

A quiet, restful getaway.

My husband, myself and our 2 dogs spent a week at this lovely home. Set right on the beach, you can hear the waves lapping all day, and that's about the only sound you'll hear. Beautiful sunsets/sunrises. Absolute tranquility. The house is well stocked, bed very comfortable. Everything as described in listing. Would love to come back.

Would not stay here again

The property location was great. The deck views are beautiful, however, the property changed from initial listing. The property had a serious issue with black mold and roaches. We came into the house with 5 dead roaches and they consistently entered the house throughout our stay despite our best efforts at cleaning, closing doors, etc. There is rust everywhere making opening and shutting doors difficult. This property has good bones, but needs a serious remodel. If I were to go to Alligator Point again, I would not stay here.

Great Sunsets

This beach house was very clean and well outfitted. The 2 covered decks overlook the beach and provide the best sunsets. The master bed might be the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The living room could use a more comfortable couch. Having laundry was a bonus. We really enjoyed our stay!

Retirement trip for myself

I spent 2 glorious weeks at this property. I can't temember when I've been so relaxed. I dont think I've ever seen my reactive 4-legged baby so relaxed and calm. I'm already planning my next stay the the Skipper. It was perfect. For me, the location was wonderful. It was exactly what I"ve been looking for for years! It was quiet. Even in this peak season, there were no crowds, only neighbors. The view from the deck off of the living room area was incredible. Always a breeze. So pleasant to sit out there. It's where I spent a lot of time. I loved the little dog run area off of the main bedroom. It was so convenient to let my dog out for potty breaks. Only a couple of issues with the internet here and there, but overall it was an absolute wonderful stay. I was sad to leave and I'm looking forward to returning.

Nature at its finest

We had a wonderful stay at the Skipper. The home overlooks the beach and the two balconies were perfect areas to read, play games, & eat meals. The beds were extremely comfortable, the A/C works GREAT, & the showers have water pressure! We did not see dolphins this trip but we did see a family manatees! We will definitely try to book the Skipper when we come back to Alligator Point.

Amazing!!

We had a great time in this cute house! It was very clean and well stocked. The location is perfect, view was incredible, with the beach on one side and dock on the other. We loved walking straight out to the beach for a walk! Pickleball was so fun! Loved this stay and wished it could last longer:)

We had a wonderful vacation. We will rent this place again. A larger grill would be better than a table top grill. The outdoor shower head needs to be glued. It came off & hit me in the forehead. We were uncertain of which pier went with the house.

Beautiful location

The Skipper did not disappoint! The house was extremely clean, right down to the baseboards and corners! The beach was beautiful and quiet. We lucked out with a gorgeous week of weather. Found beach treasures galore. Enjoyed sunset walks everyday with the best photo ops because there were no crowds of people to contend with. The ice machine in the freezer was the only thing out of order, but we were able to get ice at the marina very near by! Thanks for sharing your place with us Robin!

Serenity and Seclusion

Our stay at the Skipper Beach House was delightful! We spent New Year's at the Skipper and the beaches were serene and not over run by tourists. The views are absolutely breathtaking from all areas of the beach house! I loved sitting on the balcony with my pups while I indulged in a book with the sounds of the ocean in the background! Robin was a great host! I will definitely be coming back to this piece of paradise!

I have personally been in the vacation rental business since 2006. We are from Atlanta Georgia. We discovered and fell in love with Alligator Point in 2017. We feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to acquire this unique beach front property with harbor views and to be able to share it.
