    unresponsive to telephone texting . they did answer my calls. the fellow sent out, Dan, was extremely polite and partially fixed television problems. televisions did not work properly. ceiling fans and window blinds/sills were filthy. trash can unwieldy. kitchen cutlery very dull. small futon in living room bolts falling out.... blah, blah, it is an older unit and shows its use. however, it did have wonderful hot water, a simple to use washer/dryer and ample room for the kids.

    We love this beautiful beachfront home. We have stayed here a couple of times. It is nicely decorated, good bedroom/ bathroom spaces and wonderful kitchen. Many sitting areas, front porch, screened room as well as 2 sets of sliding glass doors making the living room an excellent sitting area with oceanfront views as well. Thanks Sharon for hosting us! We love your house!!

    It's really difficult to put into words how wonderful Alligator Point is to someone who has never been to the area. Very isolated and very few people at the beach. There were many days we had the beach to ourselves. Complete relaxation and isolation provided the perfect ability to recharge personal batteries of life. The house was well equipped with everything required for a two week stay. Local area has enough grocery options, restaurants and fresh fish markets for any meal option you are looking for. The property has a wonderful fenced in yard for fur babies. Our labs thoroughly enjoyed the yard and the beach. Bald Point State Park offered a nice change from walks on the beach with multiple hiking paths to explore. St. George Island Lighthouse is a great destination for a day trip if your looking for a fun scenic drive. The overall house is very well taken care of and the bedrooms offer a comfortable nights sleep after a long day of hiking or lounging at the beach. The deck and screened in porch offer additional options if a break from the beach is needed. The beach is a very short walk from the house and if you fish there's plenty of species to catch. There will definitely be a return trip to the Quirky Crab!

    The location is beatiful and very quiet. The beach was empty most of the time and we absolutely loved it! We were able to find a lot of shells on the beach and were even able to see a sea turtle being released from the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab.There were 6 adults and our dog and we had plenty of room. The house is exactly described and pictures. We hope to come back soon!

    This secluded home hosted our kick off to summer and high school graduation for my family of 4 and 3 dogs. Wonderful location for relaxing and fishing on Florida's forgotten coast. We arrived late afternoon, during the heat wave and the AC was turned off. We were miserable the first night and the freezer (ice cream melted) couldn't even keep up until the next day. There was a load of clothes left in the dryer that I folded and left on top of the dryer, before I could wash and dry my own clothes.The closest grocery store is over 20 minutes away and most restaurants are closed during the week. It was very hard finding food Monday-Wednesday. Loved finding all the hermit crabs and blue crabs everyday. Make sure to bring your beach chairs and beach umbrella/canopy. The sun was brutal during our stay, the last week of June. This home's gulf-front location and views were absolutely amazing! ***Caution For Pet Owner*** The front gate is broken and barely functional at all. We were constantly worried if the dog touches the gate or makes an attempt to jump they would get run over on the highway. We almost parked our vehicle sides at the gate to make sure that our dogs would be secure while they were out in the fully fenced-in yard. Please repair the gate immediately, it is not safe as the advertised pet friendly.
