Peaceful and quaint getaway

With two young kids, this was a great place to take them to the beach without the hustle and bustle of a touristy area. The state park surrounding the cottage is a beautiful backdrop. The cottage has everything you need and is well maintained with added amenities. Watch for deer and wildlife outdoors! Beach is close with convenient access. Would stay again.

Very quiet, peaceful retreat. While we were in & out without any time to enjoy the beach or outdoors, it was perfect for our needs. We wanted something away from the hustle of Tallahassee on football gameday, so this sanctuary was simply excellent.

Quaint and Quiet!

We had such a relaxing stay and the area and beaches are amazing. Property Manager was very communicative and helped us with ease. If you’ve never been to Alligator point you’re missing out but bring you’re own dinner as it is isolated. Which was just what we wanted.
