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

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.
