We really enjoyed our time at Skipper! It's location on the west end of Alligator Point is perfect for walking the beach for miles in either direction. With so many shells to search for and so many dolphins to watch, our time there was so relaxing that we can't wait to go back!

My husband and I was very happy that we were able to bring both of our dogs. Being right in the beach was amazing. Got to watch the sunrise from the dock across the road and sunset from the deck and on the beach. No complaints at all about the house and the host was very responsive to our questions. We had everything we needed for our stay. The community of Alligator Point is nicely tucked away, there are several nice places to see with a short drive. Overall it was six days of relaxing, enjoying the views and having our dogs with us made it a great vacation.

The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The views were amazing and both decks provided comfortable seating to watch sunsets. A plus was the little fenced in area so we could let the dogs out in the middle of the night. If you’re looking for a relaxing, out of the way location, this place is perfect. There are lots of stairs so be prepared and keep in mind that restaurants and grocery stores are not nearby.

Amazing!!

We had a great time in this cute house! It was very clean and well stocked. The location is perfect, view was incredible, with the beach on one side and dock on the other. We loved walking straight out to the beach for a walk! Pickleball was so fun! Loved this stay and wished it could last longer:)

Fantastic stay at the Skipper!

The perfect place for a group of four. This a not a place to go if you a looking for a touristy area. It was absolutely perfect for us. Quiet, beach access right out back. All the amenities we needed and spacious enough we weren’t in each others way. We’d definitely stay here again.
