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.

Bean denim dog bed, china hutch and two wicker chairs to sit on if you're wet from swimming. Handmade quilts and plenty of books and pillows to curl up and read.

Superb comfortable stay at perfect cottage
This was our first stay at the cottage but certainly will not be our last. This lovely home by the sea is superbly located a few steps from the beach. Wendy is a sweet owner who provided such an incredible stay and excellent communication. Our small family and doggie had a wonderful, relaxing time walking on beach, watching sharks and dolphins, and enjoying amazing sunrises and even more beautiful sunsets and starry nights. The cottage was super clean upon arrival, smelled fresh, and a lovely bottle of wine greeted us on counter. Wendy thoughtfully provided generous starter breakfast supplies. The kitchen was well appointed for cooking. The beds, sheets, and pillows soooo comfortable! Pet quilts and bed were provided for pooch’s comfort too. We adored the under area of home with rope lighting and shower, the fully enclosed yard, the million dollar views from deck and screened in porch. We just sat back and enjoyed EVERYTHING!

Home Away From Home
Wendy is one of the best host we have ever had in all of our years traveling together. We arrived to a remarkably clean cottage just steps away from the ocean. We immediately felt at home with the nice gestures of water, wine and breakfast items she had for us to enjoy. The cottage truly has a million dollar view. Our children and furr baby had the beat trip ever!!

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!

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

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.

This was our 2nd stay at Miller High Life and it was wonderful as expected. The house is clean, homey and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The location is great and communication with the owners is flawless. We couldn’t recommend the property or thank the owners enough. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again.

Hidden gem!
We had an amazing vacation at Wendy's beautiful cottage. The location was very private and the house was just perfect - immaculately clean, well-stocked kitchen, cozy bed. The breakfast items and bottle of wine made our stay even more perfect. Watching the dolphins from the deck every morning was such a treat! We loved Alligator Point and look forward to our next stay!
