Beachfront bungalow with private direct beach access. Sleeps 8. Pet friendly!

This Alligator Point Cottage is located beachfront on the Gulf of Mexico in what’s known as Florida’s Forgotten Coast.

Large white sand beaches are accessible directly in front of the home via a private walkway straight to the water.

A Natural for Family Enjoyment:
Alligator Court Cottage is perfect for young families, seniors or just a group of friends looking for a peaceful beach stay. Alligator Point is in an excellent white sand beach and awaits you for sunning, swimming, fishing from shore or just reading a good book.

The home:
This home features two bedrooms as well as two dual living-rooms with one sleeper sofa per living room. A large screened porch for dining and watching the sunset. A fully stocked kitchen for preparing your catch of the day.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Best vacation spot ever!!

This place was perfect for the girl'a getaway we had planned. The separate living quarters gave us space but we spent most of our time in the screened in porch in the back of the house or on the beach, which is right there! The house was clean and had everything we needed to cook while we were there. We couldn't have asked for a better place. And the property manager was very nice and accommodating when out plans changed. We are already planning our next trip back!
