Need multiple houses for large group or can't find the dates your looking for, check out our other VRBO listings Shifting Sands (3bd/2bath sleeps 8) and Blue Heron (7bd/5bath sleeps 20 with pool)

Activities: Very quiet area. No theme parks, roller coasters, kiddie parks, etc. Shopping within 30-45 minutes; trips to Carrabelle, Wakulla, Apalachicola, East Point, Tallahassee are popular. Deep sea fishing boats leave from several local marinas. Wonderful restaurants within 15 minutes drive. Fishing from surf in front of the house this year yielded Spanish mackerel, flounder, whiting, and Redfish.


Area: Alligator Point is a narrow spit of land about 4 miles long. Most maps don't list it. Years ago, the area was called 'Lighthouse Point' before it was developed. Our house is at the most narrow part, thus the gulf-to-bay location. Our back yard is the Gulf of Mexico; our front yard is Alligator Bay. Nice easy sand path through the dunes to the beach....the bay is accessible in the front of the house and we recently added a 420' dock for fishing and boat mooring available upon request (inquire for details).

Highway 98 is the main highway that runs along the coast. Alligator Drive (Highway 370) cuts down to the peninsula just west of the big bridge over Ochlocknee Bay. Light shopping is available within 15 minutes of the house.

Rentals typically 7 day minimum but some exceptions

    White Pelican is a lovely, cozy house. I stayed here with two friends and we enjoyed having two separate sitting areas. It's great to have both the screened porch and the outdoor porch. The few steps up to the front door also make loading and unloading easy. I've rented from Josh a number of times over the years and he is always very responsive. His properties are nicely decorated and generally well-appointed. The only reason I did not give this property a five star rating is due to the appliances being, while functional, rather worn. Nonetheless, I would certainly rent this house again!

    Great communication with owner. Wonderful location. Caught reds an trout from the beach. An boys loved catching blue crabs off the dock. Seen lots of dolphins from the beach and dock. There were a few items of the house that needed attention, but we were at the end of summer. Im sure they will be addressed. Looking at coming back next year . Overall it was a great week vacation and the owner was Awesome.

    The house is exactly as advertised, very clean, and check in was super simple and easy! The host was also quick to respond if we needed anything. My family loved our stay and can’t wait to go back!

    This was a girls get away heaven! The beach was very private and relaxing. The home was just as we were hoping. Kitchen was fully stocked with all we needed for cooking. Josh the property manager came out right away when we had an issue. He fixed the problem ASAP. This was everything we hoped for and more we will definitely be back

    Look no further. Book your vacation of solitude at the White Pelican. Josh's place is perfect for a week of being on a beach with barely anyone around. We had the beach to oursleves. Only saw a few walkers pass by. We had the pleasure of two nights hanging out with our neighbors who were renting one of Josh's other properties. We kayaked the bay and enjoyed watching the birds. On the beach, we loved watching the dophins pass by and the pelicans dive bombing the water. I could do that all day. Swimming the ocean was great. The nights were spent watching the gorgeous sunsets. Posey's had great hush puppies and grouper. Enjoyed shrimp tacos and chimichangas at Las Palmas. We ended up shopping at the IGA about 40 mintes away. We do wish that we had taken Josh's advice to stop at the Publix or Walmart on the way from Tallahasee airport. But the Tide Creek Market- I think that was the name-has some provisions and a delicious cheese dip that we enjoyed. We really didn't want to leave the house. We loved the drive to Apppalachai (sp?) and the chocolate factory there had great treats and delisious baked goods. But, the best part was meeting Tator-Josh's dog. Loved him so much and of course that we had a chance to meet Josh while he was in the area. Great, down to earth guy! I really didn't want to leave, so much so, that we started to look for property in the area. The Forgotten Coast is perfect for those, like us, who wanted to enjoy the beach in peace! Thank you!

    House was just as described! Very clean, beautiful location. Host was very easy to communicate with. Multiple days of just sitting on the deck with book in hand, watching the dolphins play! Kitchen was well stocked, which made it so convenient. We only left one day out of 7 to dine out. Such a relaxing vacation!

    Exactly perfect for our family (11, 12 & 19 w/ parents). Everyone had a blast. What a gem to have bay-front AND gulf-front! Couldn’t decide which side offered a better sunset! Alligator point is amazing and there’s certainly plenty to do, places to eat, things to see. You can have 30A….. give me the Forgotten Coast! The house is excellent, just as advertised, well decorated and furnished. Everything was simple and seamless. No issues! And the ice maker just takes it next level! Definitely hope to make it back.
