La Vista Bonita, meaning the beautiful view in Spanish, lives up to it's name! This home sits oceanfront on a secluded white sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Your feet hit the sand at the bottom of the stairs. This 3 bedroom home is perfect for families and couples looking to relax and unwind.

A serene retreat on Alligator Point located within Bald Point State Park creates a secluded, natural environment. During your tranquil walks on the beach you may not pass anyone else along theway. This is old Florida at its finest, known as the Forgotten Coast.

The house itself was built in 2009 and extensively remodeled in 2024. The home is finished throughout with custom details and furnishings. The improvements done in 2024 include a new primary suite bathroom with a beautiful tile shower, new custom tile shower in the hall main bath, new blinds, painting, lights and many new pieces of furniture. The open floor plan offers living areas that include the kitchen, dining, and living room. Enjoy gorgeous ocean view from all windows, including the two large bedrooms upstairs. There are two covered decks with incredible views. Watch amazing sunrises and full moons from inside or out. See dolphins as they break the waves. Fish, hunt for shells, sunbathe, or just sit waterside with a cold beverage and take in the scenery. Ocean breezes and sunlit skies make for the perfect day!

DirectTV, Wifi, and a DVD player are included, along with a large selection of movies for adults and children.

Cook your catch of the day on the gas grill and enjoy your meal on the deck with view of the ocean. In the evening sit around the beach fire pit while gazing at the stars.

This home does not have an elevator and is not handicap accessible. The stairs as show in the pictures are the only access to the home.

    We had a great time- wonderful home. We fished, kayaked, played board games, watched sun rising and setting, hunted crabs, ate great seafood, played in apalachicola, St. George, and Wakulla Springs… beach is super private, which is exactly what we were looking for. The starry sky at night was amazing! Beds are comfortable and house was clean. It had all you could ever need. Trailer full of toys was awesome. The beach water was brackish and very warm- wasn’t expecting that in the gulf. But it didn’t stop us from having a great family vaca. Ty for sharing your home!

    Great house in a great location. We didn’t want to leave, even stayed an extra day after the kids and grandkids left. Shopping and restaurants 20 minutes away. Easy contact with host. Good shore fishing and charters available. Hope to come again.

    We loved our stay here and couldn’t have asked for a better property or experience!! Lots to see and loads of toys to keep teen & young adult children busy. Loved having beach pretty much to ourselves and watching dolphins and crabbers daily. We look forward to staying with y’all again.

    We had a wonderful vacation at this property. The gulf is only steps away from the house which makes carrying items to the beach essentially a non issue. The house was well stocked and immaculately clean. The beds were comfortable and the porches were great for dolphin and pelican watching. The provided kayaks were really enjoyed by our teen boys. We will be back.

    This house and beach are just as described in the listing. The house is steps from the water and the beach is so quiet. If I could give more stars I would. Everything with the house was so comfortable and the views were beautiful.

    Amazing sunrises! This property was comfy with great amenities. The area is quiet and great for nature lovers. We saw dolphins and deer everyday. Great views but lots of stairs so take that into consideration when booking. We loved the Adirondack chairs by the fire pit, the desk with a great view for puzzles, and the back patio for coffee in the morning. Go to the Salty Donkey for dinner. So good! Enjoy!

    10 days of beach, sun and laughter. Days spent swimming, walking miles on the beach and tranquility. Views are spectacular. We saw dolphins swim by everyday. Enjoyed numerous local restaurants for dinners. Owners responded quickly to all questions. We would highly recommend!

    House was very nice and located in a quiet area. We felt really safe in this area. The water was clam. The only con would be we like a little more ocean depth and this was on a swallow area. We did like having all the beach toys and supplies that the owners let you borrow at no extra cost.

    The house was very nice to many steps up and down but very nice and clean. The only tv that worked was in the living room, Wi-Fi was in and out and the beach was horrible. Looked like nothing but seaweed and the ocean looked like a lake not like the gulf at all and also full of seaweed. We ended our stay shortly after arrival.

    Absolutely fantastic. VRBO has been our go to for vacation since 2008. This was one of the best properties we have stayed at and will definitely be renting this one again! The house was beautiful, and the quiet beach was wonderful. Really enjoyed using the kayaks to get up close to the dolphins.
