A very well maintained 1950's bungalow, Super clean. The host responded to our questions quickly and repaired a water leak outside the house. His dad built the house, and I enjoyed hearing about its beginning. Very private and a wonderful white sand beach. We savored each sunset from the elevated deck. A wonderful place to get away. We will return.

Vacation Stay

Great area as its more of a private stay compared to other parts of Flordia. It was nice being directly on the beach and we loved the raised platform to lounge on. We visited multiple nearby towns that had plenty of places to eat all around a 30 minute scenic drive.

Quaint Beach cottage

This property was perfect for my husband and me. It offers a quiet beach right outside your back door, The sunsets and dolphin watching from the upper deck were amazing to see. The cottage was perfect for us. We hope to return soon.

Property was as advertised and was a perfect setting for our family beach vacation. We have a young family, and even though it's only 1 bedroom, the couch and futon gave the kids plenty of space to sleep. The quiet, white sand, beautiful beach is right down the private walkway and was perfect. There are plenty of non-beach activities to do in the area if that peaks your interest too. Recommend "somewhere in the sun" to anyone and Alligator Point as well.

Wonderful beach house

This beach house is perfect in every way, I could not have asked for a better place to spend 2 weeks with my dogs. It has everything that you need for a perfect beach vacation. Everything was amazing, the deck, outdoor shower, location, the host, everything. I would go back there next time I want to stay at a beach house.
