This secluded Old Florida oasis spans eight miles of natural coastline along a narrow beach peninsula. Alligator Point offers unspoiled beaches, fabulous fishing, unsurpassed wildlife viewing and absolute tranquility.
This historic beach property is an enchanting trip back in time, with the comforts of today's modern conveniences and plenty of original character. It is configured as two private units that may be rented individually or together by the same travel party.
