Great beach bungalow. Pictures don’t do it justice. Much more spacious than we anticipated. Had everything we needed. Very cute and wonderful views of the beach. Area was great for us, quiet, private, not touristy at all. We saw so many stars at night, even saw the Milky Way the first night there. Definitely recommend if you are looking for that old school small Florida beach house vibe.

A very well maintained 1950's bungalow, Super clean. The host responded to our questions quickly and repaired a water leak outside the house. His dad built the house, and I enjoyed hearing about its beginning. Very private and a wonderful white sand beach. We savored each sunset from the elevated deck. A wonderful place to get away. We will return.

Vacation Stay

Great area as its more of a private stay compared to other parts of Flordia. It was nice being directly on the beach and we loved the raised platform to lounge on. We visited multiple nearby towns that had plenty of places to eat all around a 30 minute scenic drive.

Peaceful and lovely

This was my second stay at Somewhere in the Sun. Even on Memorial Day weekend, Alligator Point was peaceful and uncrowded. The little house is as charming, comfortable and lovingly cared for as ever. I will be back.

I am glad that you enjoyed your stay and that your family was able to find houses close together! Alligator Point is a great place for families to connect and have the beach to themselves without the crowds found on a lot of beaches in the area. I hope you and your family will come again!

Great!

Great location with beautiful view of the beach from the whole house and steps away from the beach. Alligator Point is lovely (our second time in the area) and this was the perfect place to enjoy it.

The view from the upper deck must be one of the best views on all of Alligator Point. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to have you back again soon!

Property was as advertised and was a perfect setting for our family beach vacation. We have a young family, and even though it's only 1 bedroom, the couch and futon gave the kids plenty of space to sleep. The quiet, white sand, beautiful beach is right down the private walkway and was perfect. There are plenty of non-beach activities to do in the area if that peaks your interest too. Recommend "somewhere in the sun" to anyone and Alligator Point as well.
