BEACHFRONT PROPERTY
Amazing Views
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).
The ocean right at your doorstep. Such a lovely home with screened in porch and beyond a regular porch looks out on Alligator Point beach. This is the place to go to relax, listen to the ocean, watch birds, and collect shells on rustic white sand beach. We loved our stay. A wonderful, clean home with all the amenities.

If you are looking for a very clean, well kept, newly remodeled house that is in a quiet part of Florida where there are no tourists or trash on the beach then this is the place. It has everything you need for a relaxing stay with your family. There is only a 7 second walk out the back door before you are in the water. We saw dolphins, fish, starfish, rainbows, and sea shells every day. You can walk for miles on the white sand beach and you will see more wildlife than people. Josh is great and goes out of his way to be welcoming to guests. This is a hidden gem of a place to stay.
