You must warn people of 22 steps to get into property. Not just the steps but the condition of the steps. This property should never be rented to anyone in this condition. The overgrowth was so bad we could not get out to the beach. We had our dog with us and I was afraid for him to try to potty any where besides the sand area. It was horrible. I was so disappointed. The inside was fine except for the skillets. Because of there being no oven you need nice skillets. There was one skillet that was usable. I’m talking about non-stick skillets that the insides are peeling off which is poisonous to humans. I tried to take a shower in the master bathroom and the whole shower head fell apart. I had to use the hand held shower. This property was uninhabitable!! We are 73 and 74 years of age and my husband did look at the pictures so we should have known about the stairs. I would be embarrassed if I was the owner and I charged anyone to stay at this place. Positives- very well stocked besides the skillets and very clean and beautiful views. It just needs TLC by someone!!

Amazing View, Relaxing, & Peaceful

The house had everything we needed for relaxing and peaceful beach getaway. The views from the porch were heavenly. We enjoyed drinking coffee on the porch, listening to the waves and watching the sun rise. Morning walks on the beach were refreshing and the sunsets were spectacular. We would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing!

Our family loved the peaceful, relaxing area, and the home was a very comfortable and charming spot to make memories. The screened porch was fantastic, and the wildlife was incredible. We enjoyed the beach, as well as the nearby St. Mark’s Wildlife Refuge and Bald Point State Park. The concrete area under the home was a fun place to play games together, too! The little store was neat, and the home was very well appointed. We had a very relaxing and fun time!

Absolute perfection!!

We decided to book a last minute getaway, and found this gem on the beach! The daily views and sounds of the beach were beyond amazing!! The house was very clean and had more than enough of the essentials (especially kitchen supplies)! The only things missing, I’d say, would be a pair of binoculars to see the distant marine life and perhaps bicycles for the bike path across the street! We would definitely stay here again and we highly recommend this beach house to anyone!!

Thank you for the nice review. We appreciate your suggestions. Our bike path across the street is very new and some of our guests have been bringing their own bikes. The reason we don't provide them is that they would be rusted within a short time as we only have semi open storage for equipment. They would need time consuming maintenance and we wouldn't know how many and what size to provide as our guests have different needs according to size and age of family. Storage would be also be a problem. We do have Cornhole and a ball toss game to be played on the big cement pad under the house. Binoculars would be great but can easily be lost and some people bring those too. We do want to provide as many amenities for our guests as possible.and appreciate new ideas.

Grad trip

Family stayed together for my daughter’s graduation. Cute place, great location, plenty of room, check-in/out process was great. Was not told I would have to open an outdoor property gate when arriving close to 9pm in the dark with zero lights on. Also had to turn on the water to the house, and only figured that out by reading notes on the fridge.

Nice place to stay, but the water left a lot to be desired

The property was great, the beach was great, but the water was extremely muddy. Ten feet off-shor and the sand gave way to foot deep mud that smelled really bad. As a result, we found ourselves walking to the sandbar at the point a few hundred meters to the east to enjoy the water.

Sorry the water wasn't clear on the Gulf when you stayed. This is the 1st I have heard of this. Maybe the storms we had over the week-end muddied everything up. This is a great place to enjoy your vacation on the Gulf!

Comfortable but not the best for kids

I should have read the listing more - there is no oven! We ended up just grilling fish, so thankful for the grill! Someone else mentioned that the house is in need of a deep clean. The beds & baths were very clean, but the main area not as much. I know it's pet friendly, but it almost seemed like the air filters needed to be cleaned. On check in, it was 85 inside the house, & the water was cut off - not ideal after a long road-trip & unexpected since I knew the cleaners had just been there. The stairs are very, very steep, a little crooked, & not uniform depths. They were not stairs I thought my 2 and 4 year old could handle on their own on repeat. If you have a newly toddling child or one who is constantly reaching for counters, I would not recommend this home. The owners mark it up to a difference in decor style, but in short: the entire place is cluttered. Every surface has some trinket on it that any kid will go for; it's only a matter of time before a child pulls something off and hurts themselves. There are ~ 100 glasses & no pantry. There’s a bookshelf that's child height for food to go on, but we know how that goes b/w kids and dogs. If your dogs don't get into food, you don't need an oven, & your kids are old enough to either not get into snacks or it's vacation so who cares about diets anyway - then go for it! Location is great- you can't beat being right on the beach. Beds were comfortable, the AC worked once we turned it down to 75, & plenty of linens!

We had another great trip with our family, including our pups! We love the screened in porch with the amazing view of the beach and the proximity to the sand bar where at really low tide you can find so many natural surprises like live star fish, large hermit crabs, and great shells.

Perfect Family Getaway

My husband and his parents really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect, and Alligator Point is quiet with such little light pollution you can see the stripe of the Milky Way across the night sky. The screened in porch was absolutely wonderful to sit and enjoy the lovely view. We enjoyed daily walks on the beach with our small dogs. We are very thankful to our hosts for allowing pets on the property. The house is comfortable and cozy. The beds were quite comfortable, and the kitchen had everything necessary for cooking what we brought to prepare our meals. Just be prepared as there is no traditional oven, just a microwave and toaster oven, which was completely fine. The cement area underneath the house makes a great outdoor area as well. We truly enjoyed our stay. My mother in law was already talking about when we might plan to go again.

We stayed the weekend and had a great time. The beach is just a short walk down the stairs. Amenities were as described and just what we needed for the quick getaway before school started back up. Will definitely stay here again.

Such a gem!

This amazing property was the perfect place for a relaxing beach vacation. The quick access to the serene, semi private beach was priceless. My parents, husband, sister and myself all had enough room for ourselves and more. The best part was the covered patio with a view - perfect for morning coffee, afternoon lunch and drinks during sunset. Definitely will be back! Thank you for hosting us!

Thanks for the extra time...we needed it

First, we like this beach house for a small group. Been vacationing at Alligator/Bald Point since '93, starting w/Cook House/Alta Vista 3-4 times. But, we prefer a place with flexible policies about cancellation, and check-in/out times. We've often experienced greater flexibility at the ~dozen other houses. There was noisy construction next door, so the deck experience, which a beautiful part of this property, & sleeping and napping (we are 72 & 66) were problematic. They worked w/ power tools all day and always late including way past 9pm one night & 11:30pm on Friday, the night before checked out (so thanks for finally agreeing to let us check out late). HOWEVER, we like this place. There is much to like, and the Trinket Shop was fun to browse. We bought 5-6 things. And you guys were always friendly and helpful. Thanks for a (mostly) enjoyable week.

Perfect location needs cleaning

We absolutely loved the location and overall theme of this property. You can tell the home is well loved and honestly just needs a really good deep cleaning. Overall the space appeared clean but a look under the couch cushions or at the shower heads proved otherwise. We spent most of our time outside anyway and despite the cold weather we enjoyed walks down the beach and playing fetch with the dog. We will definitely be back to Alligator point

Nice Place

Everything was great and exactly as it was posted. The beach was very private. The ONLY bad part about the trip was the water. Once you get away from the shoreline a bit you hit some rather muddy water. Although I’m sure the tropical storm didn’t help either. All in all a nice place and would recommend to others.
