"Irgendwo in der Sonne" Beachfront Cottage - Old Florida Style Hideaway

This was our second stay and we will stay again. You can see the ocean from nearly every room. I enjoyed drinking my morning coffee out on the deck listening to the ocean waves and watching the dolphins & seabirds before my morning walk.

We had a great stay... again 😎�

This place was exactly what my husband and I wanted for taking our two babies to the beach. Direct beach acces, no crowds, peaceful (as can be with two little ones), and just the right size cottage for us. We loved everything about this place and location so much we’re planning to return next year. We loved that we could set up our beach tent and leave it for the week. Our daughters loved the wagon rides on the beach and we loved being away from the chaos of big touristy beaches. My only complaint is the very long drive it takes us to get to Florida from Kentucky. Can’t wait to come back! Thanks for opening your home to our little family!

We wanted a home where we could get away and collect our thoughts and relax. That is exactly what we got! First of all, it's an adorable home with lots of natural light and a big comfy bed that we slept well in. The house has everything you need. The kitchen is fully stocked with all supplies you will need to make a large meal which is what we did a few times. The grill outside is very nice, we used it twice. We knew stores were limited so we stopped at Winn Dixie in Crawfordville and bought some of the best T-bone steaks we ever had. We wanted to try the hot tub, but the weather was so hot and humid, getting in a hot tub was just not going to happen. I imagine it would be fantastic another season besides summer. There is a lot of sea life in the ocean at Alligator Point and the water isn't clear like you find in Destin or further up the gulf. I opted not to swim but I saw many other people who did without trouble. The beach fishing in front of the house is phenomenal. My husband asked me for an unpopulated location that was quiet where he could fish and I delivered! He caught 50+ fish there the entire week, many different sizes and species of shark, ladyfish, catfish and spanish mackerel. One day we decided to travel over to St. George island and St. Joe Peninsula. Both beautiful but the bugs will eat you up on St. George! We ate dinner that day at Red Pirate in Appalachacola and it was the best seafood we had during our stay. We also had Tropical Trader in Panacea and it was pretty good, too. We left early because my dog became ill (incredibly homesick) but we didn't know what was wrong at the time as he is new to our family. Hugh was nice enough to text and check on him after we got home.

If you need the hubub of activity that can be found in Charleston, Myrtle Beach or Panama City, Alligator Point won't be for you. There are no shopping malls, (no Waves stores). It is pretty much desolate and perfect for book reading and having nearly all the beach to yourself. This would be a fantastic mediation spot and the upper deck on the property would be perfect for yoga. It's quiet, calm and inviting.

If your looking for a simple getaway with a beach view this is a great house. It has a nice view and a great deck to sit on and watch the waves. The kitchen could use an updated stove. The bedroom is connected to the living area with an accordion door so there isn't much privacy if your with others. The house has the pretty much what you need for a great time!

We love Alligator Point, a beautiful, natural off-the-beaten-path beach that is uncrowded and friendly to our canine companions. This gem of a beach house can't be beat for staying at Alligator Point. Cozy and compact, yet provides all we need for a great beach stay. Beautiful views, comfortable, and to top it all off - a hot tub! We highly recommend!
