Charming Alligator Point "Old Florida” Beach Cottage

Our Cottage, ‘Miller’s High Life,’ sits on an acre ocean front lot with approximately half an acre fenced for your canine companions to walk and run free. This area of the Point is called Mud Cove where low tide provides an immense sandbar for shelling and high tide provides outstanding fishing. The Cottage contains a great room which includes the kitchen, living room and dining area with three sliding glass doors providing panoramic ocean views. Step through the doors to a screen porch to enjoy sunrises and sunsets from your porch swing. The screen porch and master bedroom open on to the deck for sunbathing with a back stairway down to the enclosed hot water outdoor shower. Hammock, picnic table, bench swing and gas grill are beneath the house for outdoor cooking and entertainment. Scraped wood floors throughout with new carpeting in the large master bedroom. A 42" flat screen T.V. is in the master bedroom and a 55" flat screen T.V. is in the great room. Half bath attached to master bedroom with full bath in the hall. "Minnie's" room has twin beds, chest, wicker desk and chair. Master has a king bed, nightstands, small chest and chair. Deck has teak benches, one teak chair and one chaise lounge.

Long Weekend
I almost gave less stars for the accuracy of the listing because the pictures don’t do this place justice! It is adorable and though on the smaller side, still very spacious. The screened in porch overlooking the ocean was our favorite place to spend time when we weren’t on the beach! Yes the water is dark so if you are looking to snorkel, you likely won’t be happy but the beach is clean, has nice white sand & plenty of sea treasures to be found. 10/10 for a laid back, quiet getaway! We enjoyed every second of our trip

Love this cottage!
This is our 2nd time at Wendy's cottage & it did not disappoint! It's clean & she has great little perks like eggs, bagels, coffee, & even a bottle of wine. It's an easy walk down the path to the beach & short drive to Panacea to eat at Angelos. We look forward to returning to the sweet little cottage!

House was great, lots of State and National Parks in the area. Not much of a night life in area, have to travel 30 plus minutes to go food shopping. Over an hour to Tallahassee for activities. Other wise a great place.

Perfect Beach Getaway
This host has shared a family beach home with the guests. There are wonderful near views of the water where we watched pelicans and dolphins play. This is located in a quiet area of the Florida panhandle without crowds. It’s possible to see both sunrise and sunset from the screen porch. Very comfortable and spotless interior space.

We loved our stay. The house was very comfortable and so close to the beach. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. This was our 2nd time there and plan on coming again soon.
