About this property

This beautiful beach home has beach views across the entire back and sides of the home. It's comfortable, clean and charming. A short walk down the back steps lead to the best beach views on the island. Grab a beach chair, your best friend and a favorite book and dig your toes in the sand along the water's edge. And if you have a fishing pole, make sure to pay close attention because Alligator Point is known as one of the best fishing spots on the Gulf.

Family Beach Time

We had a great time at this beautiful home! We spent time down on the beach and what a special opportunity to not only share that with kids, but also our 4-legged family member. She had a blast, too. House was just what we needed. Outfitted well, roomy & comfortable. Nice spaces to gather both inside and outside. Owners were responsive & helpful. Even on the hot days the breeze downstairs made it comfortable to sit outside. Loved our stay and hope to return!

Home Away From Home!!

This property was absolutely perfect for our family! The views were breathtaking and every space had plenty of seating for our family of five (grandparents, two kids (3&6), and myself. The kids loved the bunk room, the grandparents soaked up views from the master, sofas, and outdoor loungers and the the area below the house was a special touch we appreciated during the warm sunny afternoons. The home had top of the line features and it’s kitchen was the most well stocked we’ve ever experienced from VRBO. Would definitely recommend and look forward to booking again in the future.

Great home! Perfect location!

The Tin Cup Palace was the perfect home for our family! My family of 5, plus my mother-in-law and father-in-law stayed at this beautiful home and it was the perfect size for the 7 of us. My 3 young kids had a blast catching shrimp, crabs and hunting for seashells and sea glass. Alligator Point has become our new favorite beach destination with our family. This was our second trip to Alligator Point and we will be coming back! This area is perfect for the nature lovers! We saw dolphins, stingray, manatees, eagles, crabs, and even a couple of sharks. My husband and father-in-law brought their fishing poles and a throw net and fished every single day. Because the beach is so quiet (there were maybe 2 other families on the entire stretch of the beach), we brought a walkie talkie for our kids and let them walk and explore the beach. This is my absolute favorite place because the beach is so peaceful and you don’t have to worry about all of the crowds! The Tin Cup Palace had plenty of beach accessories including beach chairs, lounge chairs, and even an umbrella that a previous guest left. There were beach toys that were also left for the kids to play with. The home itself was perfect for our family. We cooked all but 2 nights. The kitchen was completely stocked with all that we needed to cook our meals and then some! Mike and Lisa really took care of us and were extremely responsive to all questions we had. They are tremendous hosts and we will definitely be coming back!

Peaceful Family Getaway

A beautiful house right on the gulf. We had a wonderful week of Long Beach walks and fun nights watching the storms cross the gulf. The owners have made sure this home is stocked with anything you may need and more and are very helpful with any questions. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Peaceful paradise

We felt at home the moment we stepped into Tin Cup Palace. Laura and Mike were very responsive hosts. The home is very well stocked. The only thing I would bring next time is a beach umbrella but other than that, they've thought of everything. The decor has a darling shabby coastal feel and the furniture is quite comfortable. The living area underneath the house was the perfect spot for taking in the breeze while listening to the whiporwills. The gulf water is not the prettiest in Alligator Point but the beach is beautiful and never crowded. We found lots of cool things on our walks from hermit crabs to anemones, sea glass to a washed up manna ray. If you are considering a vacation in the area this is a wonderful house.

Such a great week!

Our family had the best time here. Saw Dolphins almost every day. So much more wildlife than we were expecting. The house was probably the most well stocked vacation rental we have ever stayed at. The outdoor living space was awesome! Thanks for the excellent vacation spot!

Beautiful Gulf of Mexico views!

My husband and two adult children loved this place! The views are breathtaking, especially opening the french doors from the master bedroom first thing in the morning! There are several sitting spaces outside to gather…underneath as well as up on the deck. Having a bathroom outside was super convenient too! The house is lovely, with coastal decor everywhere. We live in the north FL area so this was a great quick getaway for us to our beloved Forgotten Coast. Hope to return soon!

Ocean front beauty

This house had plenty of entertaining places, very comfortable . Wonderful beach themed decor. We had to use the heat as it got really cold, and that worked perfectly. Nice bike path across the street. Very quiet this time of year, and we enjoy walks on the beach with our dogs. Good communication with Mike!

About the host

Hosted by Mike & Laura Glancy

We are native Floridians living in Atlanta for the past 25 years and desperate for more beach time back home. We have three children.

Why they chose this property

The Tin Cup Palace is our 25th Anniversary gift to each other. We love the sugar white sand beach and natural beauty surrounding Alligator Point. This home has beautiful views from all living spaces with windows across the back to look out over the gulf. When we first stayed on Alligator Point we were greeted every morning by dolphins playing along the shore as pelicans and seagulls hovered above. We saw manatees and turtles swim to the shore as we sat in our beach chairs overlooking the water.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful and quiet. This is the forgotten coast. It's charming and reminiscent of Old Florida before the strip malls and crowds cluttered the highways and beaches.
