About this property

Huge deck and screen porch on the gulf, overlooking beautiful sand dunes and private beach. Front deck overlooks Alligator Bay and natural forest area. Sleeps 7. Air conditioned, dishwasher, washer/dryer, cable TV, DVD, VCR, gas grill, fully furnished. High speed wireless internet and Cable TV provided.

Need multiple houses for large group or can't find the dates your looking for, check out our other VRBO listings Shifting Sands (3bd/2bath sleeps 8) and Blue Heron (7bd/5bath sleeps 20 with pool)

Activities: Very quiet area. No theme parks, roller coasters, kiddie parks, etc. Shopping within 30-45 minutes; trips to Carrabelle, Wakulla, Apalachicola, East Point, Tallahassee are popular. Deep sea fishing boats leave from several local marinas. Wonderful restaurants within 15 minutes drive. Fishing from surf in front of the house this year yielded Spanish mackerel, flounder, whiting, and Redfish.

Area: Alligator Point is a narrow spit of land about 4 miles long. Most maps don't list it. Years ago, the area was called 'Lighthouse Point' before it was developed. Our house is at the most narrow part, thus the gulf-to-bay location. Our back yard is the Gulf of Mexico; our front yard is Alligator Bay. Nice easy sand path through the dunes to the beach....the bay is accessible in the front of the house and we recently added a 420' dock for fishing and boat mooring available upon request (inquire for details).

Highway 98 is the main highway that runs along the coast. Alligator Drive (Highway 370) cuts down to the peninsula just west of the big bridge over Ochlocknee Bay. Light shopping is available within 15 minutes of the house.

Rentals typically 7 day minimum but some exceptions

Amazing spot

The best home we have stayed in to date! Loved the location, right on the beach! Home was comfortable and clean. My only suggestion would be to add a teapot for tea drinkers. Thanks for the wonderful vacation!

Excellent!

Our second visit to Alligator Point and first time staying at the White Pelican did not disappoint. The house offers lots of space for everyone, the screened porch and deck were perfect spaces to enjoy a cup of coffee and read. Amazing views of the Gulf and quiet beach made our family's Christmas at the beach exactly what we all needed!

Exploring the Area

My stay included biking in Bald Point State Park and walking to the nature preserve at the west end of alligator point. The beach house was excellent. Really nice screened porch and deck. Beautiful beach with lots of shells on days when tide brings them in! My friends and I enjoyed this house and location, even with a couple of days of rain.

Awesome get-a-way

What’s not to like about the Gulf steps away from your back door and the Bay with a private 420’ dock steps away from your front door. A fisherman’s dream! The house was clean and well stocked. Josh and Kate were very personable and checked to make sure there was nothing we needed. We would give our stay at the White Pelican 6 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if we could!

About the host

Hosted by Josh Simmons

This is our personal vacation home not a shabby rental investment filled with inexpensive worn furniture and run by a corporation. We take great pride in making it inviting and well appointed. The home has been renovated from top to bottom since we purchased the home and we have just renovated the master suite with new glass enclosed master shower and ship lap bedroom in the winter of 17. We are avid divers and spearfish year around in the amazingly bountiful waters of the gulf.

What makes this property unique

One of the coveted few gulf to bay properties on The Point with waterviews from every room! Composite 420 sq ft deck overlooks the gulf as does the large screened porch.
