Alta Vista Beach Front House

Host was great and the view was amazing

Family stayed together for my daughter’s graduation. Cute place, great location, plenty of room, check-in/out process was great. Was not told I would have to open an outdoor property gate when arriving close to 9pm in the dark with zero lights on. Also had to turn on the water to the house, and only figured that out by reading notes on the fridge.

The house had everything we needed for relaxing and peaceful beach getaway. The views from the porch were heavenly. We enjoyed drinking coffee on the porch, listening to the waves and watching the sun rise. Morning walks on the beach were refreshing and the sunsets were spectacular. We would definitely stay here again!

I should have read the listing more - there is no oven! We ended up just grilling fish, so thankful for the grill! Someone else mentioned that the house is in need of a deep clean. The beds & baths were very clean, but the main area not as much. I know it's pet friendly, but it almost seemed like the air filters needed to be cleaned. On check in, it was 85 inside the house, & the water was cut off - not ideal after a long road-trip & unexpected since I knew the cleaners had just been there. The stairs are very, very steep, a little crooked, & not uniform depths. They were not stairs I thought my 2 and 4 year old could handle on their own on repeat. If you have a newly toddling child or one who is constantly reaching for counters, I would not recommend this home. The owners mark it up to a difference in decor style, but in short: the entire place is cluttered. Every surface has some trinket on it that any kid will go for; it's only a matter of time before a child pulls something off and hurts themselves. There are ~ 100 glasses & no pantry. There’s a bookshelf that's child height for food to go on, but we know how that goes b/w kids and dogs. If your dogs don't get into food, you don't need an oven, & your kids are old enough to either not get into snacks or it's vacation so who cares about diets anyway - then go for it! Location is great- you can't beat being right on the beach. Beds were comfortable, the AC worked once we turned it down to 75, & plenty of linens!

Very relaxing and quiet spot directly on the beach

We love the beach and privacy. Not all the hustle and bustle. It was perfect! Our dog loved it too ! It was the first time ever on vacation we didn’t eat out not one time! We loved being right on the beach ?

My husband and his father were able to enjoy quality time together at Alta Vista again. We are thankful to their hosts for accommodating our people and our pups.

Our family loved the peaceful, relaxing area, and the home was a very comfortable and charming spot to make memories. The screened porch was fantastic, and the wildlife was incredible. We enjoyed the beach, as well as the nearby St. Mark’s Wildlife Refuge and Bald Point State Park. The concrete area under the home was a fun place to play games together, too! The little store was neat, and the home was very well appointed. We had a very relaxing and fun time!

We decided to book a last minute getaway, and found this gem on the beach! The daily views and sounds of the beach were beyond amazing!! The house was very clean and had more than enough of the essentials (especially kitchen supplies)! The only things missing, I’d say, would be a pair of binoculars to see the distant marine life and perhaps bicycles for the bike path across the street! We would definitely stay here again and we highly recommend this beach house to anyone!!

My husband and his parents really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect, and Alligator Point is quiet with such little light pollution you can see the stripe of the Milky Way across the night sky. The screened in porch was absolutely wonderful to sit and enjoy the lovely view. We enjoyed daily walks on the beach with our small dogs. We are very thankful to our hosts for allowing pets on the property. The house is comfortable and cozy. The beds were quite comfortable, and the kitchen had everything necessary for cooking what we brought to prepare our meals. Just be prepared as there is no traditional oven, just a microwave and toaster oven, which was completely fine. The cement area underneath the house makes a great outdoor area as well. We truly enjoyed our stay. My mother in law was already talking about when we might plan to go again.
