Waters Edge Beachfront Private Residence - Ground Level Home

Beautiful beach front, ground level home.

This amazingly breathtaking, 2200-square-foot, two-level home has three bedrooms and two and a half baths.

Enjoy relaxing in a secluded, Non-Smoking, beach home that provides all the aspects of a secret get-away. With two decks and a covered porch allows for relaxing sunset views. Brilliant light shines through the abundant windows and lights the fabulous interior. Vaulted ceilings create an open spacious feel. Relax on the expansive covered deck.

View the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico from the ground level porches or from spacious upstairs Master Bedroom which opens on to a private terrace with an expansive view of the white sandy beaches below. The terrace affords privacy and an unobstructed view you will never forget.

The fully-equipped Kitchen, with a Breakfast bar (seats four), has spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico... It's the kind of place where you want to linger for a second cup of coffee and wish time could stop to savor the moment. This home is ideal for couples and families who wish to vacation together but desire some private time on their own. You won't be disappointed!

The downstairs master bedroom is a queen size bed and a twin over full bunk bed and the upstairs master bedroom is a king bed. The 3rd bedroom has two twin beds. There are three roll away beds available for extra guests.

Wonderful stay

My family of five had a wonderful stay. It was very comfortable and nicely decorated without feeling overly fussy. The views are incredible and I loved having an outdoor deck with shade. Owner was incredibly communicative and helpful. We hope to return!

Peaceful Family Getaway

From the outside as compared to neighboring homes, the house looks small but we were very pleased with the spacious and open interior. A short walk to the beach, plenty of bed space and good communication with the owners were a plus. It was a little more than we planned to spend but we all enjoyed our stay very much.

Amazing house on the beach!

The house was great, the patio amazing and the beach was peaceful. We had great nights of sleep on the very comfortable mattress with amazing pillows! We ate all our meals on the patio where we could enjoy hearing the waves and watching the dolphins jump. The owners were very attentive and friendly.

Amazing view

My family and I had amazing time here! I watched dolphins swim by while I was in the kitchen cooking breakfast! The deck view is beautiful. Not having to climb stairs was a huge plus for us. My mother in law can’t go up and down stairs. She really enjoyed the level home with amazing views. I highly recommend this house. Please visit Carrabelle while your in the area. Ice cream and little shops for souvenirs.

Wonderful place to relax!

If you want to get away and unwind, this is the spot for you! The hosts thought of everything you need to enjoy the beach The wildlife was astounding, although we are apparently the only guests that didn't get to see dolphins. We did see many birds and found three live sand dollars (we threw them back). It is definitely away from everything, so follow the hosts' suggestion and stock up food and suplies before you go. Definitely 5/5 stars!

Amazing beachside family home!

My daughter was graduating from FSU in Tallahassee, and all of Tally was sold out 2 months before graduation weekend! I expanded my search outward, and lo and behold, the heavens blessed me with this fabulous listing, only an hour south of Tallahassee.  We needed 5 separate beds to accommodate our family of grown adults, and this house has 6!  I booked it immediately for 4 nights.Upon arrival we were absolutely delighted by the front/great room with the gorgeous elevated ceiling, with plenty of really comfortable seating.  The long wall of windows overlooking the beach let in the light and the view but not the heat.  We LOVED eating meals together at the outside table on the covered deck, with the fresh air and the beach right there!  (You couldn't have paid me to leave that spot in favor of a restaurant, and I was the cook!  :))There were no stairs going down to the beach, which was a lovely bonus for my cranky knee.  We saw the dolphins feeding, heading west two mornings between 7:45 and 8:15 (May). One did a leap for my daughter!The beds and sheets were very comfortable, and the showers sufficient. The kitchen was quite well stocked.  The hosts left a lovely card and a small pot of flowers for my graduating daughter!  Soooo sweet!!!Other than the Friday night graduation ceremony (and the Publix run on our way in), we had no need or desire to leave the premises.  We stayed and enjoyed our family time together immensely!!  Highly, highly recommend!!

Beautiful secluded get away

This was an amazing place to stay! We traveled here with my in laws and my three small children (7, 4, and 18mo). There was plenty of space to spread out and practically the whole back wall of the house is windows offering a beautiful view of the ocean, no matter where you were. I would like to note that the bedroom that has two twin beds does not have a wall that goes all the way to the top, and it is right next to the main living area. If you have someone older, or children who go to bed before the rest of the group, that room will not work, as noise can easily travel in there. The wall of that room goes to about 1 ft away from the ceiling. The kitchen was well stocked, which isn't always the case with VRBO rentals. Everything you could want from a blender to a coffee grinder were available. It is expected to wash, dry and fold the sheets before leaving at 10am on your check out day, which was difficult for us. The owner offered us the option of paying an additional $150 or do the sheets. I just want to make other renters aware that a cleaning fee is not included in this rental, but can be added on if you do not want to wash, dry and fold the sheets. Overall, five stars for the awesomeness of this house, the beautiful views, and the easy proximity to the beach!

Great Family house on Alligator Point Beach

We had 2 families ( 4 adults, 6 small kids) stay at this house and it was perfect! Large living room/dining/kitchen area which was ideal for our crew with kids. Short walk down the private boardwalk to the beach, large covered shade area and the owners are super sweet!!!! Fast communication and very accommodating!

Perfect Birthday Week

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. I was celebrating my birthday and cannot imagine a better place in which to do so. The house is bigger inside than it looks, offering plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped. But we spent by far the most of our time on the fabulous covered deck, which was delightful in the heat of the sun or during some rainstorms that moved through. We had a great day at St. George Island State Park and another morning spent paddling on the Wakulla River. It was fun to explore but we also would have been just a happy staying on the beach behind the house. Already planning our return trip to this fabulous home. Hosts very communicative and friendly!

If you are traveling with children, BEWARE!

We stayed here in 2020 and had a great time, so we were excited to return—this time with friends and four kids (ages 5–11). At check-in, I noticed a couple of dead cockroaches but chose to overlook it and enjoy our trip. Within 30 minutes, the toilet paper holder in the half bath fell off the wall. After a quick attempt to fix it, I placed it on the back of the toilet and moved on.The rest of our stay was enjoyable, and while the home lacked a few conveniences, we were happy to overlook them.However, things took a turn after check-out. The owner messaged saying they were filing a claim for us “ripping” the toilet paper holder off the wall and being unable to locate the piece, and for a small stain on a barstool. When I asked for photos, they said they’d drop the claim if we paid x amount for a new stool. The photos showed the holder exactly where I said I left it. The “damage” to the barstool was a stain smaller than a fingernail that looked like it could easily come out with proper cleaning.We paid a hefty amount in cleaning fees and a damage deposit, so this left a bad taste. I’m not someone who complains, but the way this was handled felt unfair. If you’re traveling with kids and aren’t confident the home will be left in flawless condition, I’d think twice before booking

Fall Getaway

We had a few days to squeeze in a short getaway. AP has been our favorite spot for more years than I can remember! This house is absolutely perfect. It’s well appointed, they have thought of everything and made it so convenient. The views from inside and the deck are stunning. This was our 3rd time staying at this beautiful beach home. Until next time!

Forgotten Coast Getaway

Only my husband and I were on this trip, so I can't speak for every bedroom, but we loved the master suite upstairs with the open balcony. The property is exactly like the pictures. We loved the wide-open views from downstairs to the ocean. The deck is perfect for sipping coffee in the morning and enjoying a cocktail at night. You are just steps away from the white, sandy beach. Alligator Point is quiet, serene, and away from the hustle and bustle. The Forgotten Coast is our happy place. We will be back again.

Perfect Trip

My sister and I wanted to take our aunt to the beach. She hadn’t been in 20 years. This home not only had a nice bedroom on the ground floor, but the covered porch and deck allowed her to enjoy the beach even on days when she didn’t have the energy to make the walk to the water. There was not one thing that wasn’t perfect about our stay. The weather was beautiful, the home is beautiful, comfortable and well appointed. The owners thought of everything! I have stayed here on a previous trip and Travis is a gracious host!
