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. For dining, the adults can sit at the kitchen island on tall director's chairs with the children next to them at the dining table. Living room furniture includes large sofa, queen futon, futon chair with footstool, two coffee tables perfect for playing cards, an L.L. 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. Forty-five minutes from Tallahassee and fifteen minutes to the bridge for dinner out at Angelo's. Twenty minutes to St. James Bay golf course.

Peaceful Interlude
What a pleasure to have a window on the world of nature! No matter the weather we could watch nature from our vantage point. Magnificent sunrises and sunsets, wildlife and changing weather conditions as well as an incredible night sky. Lovely stay!

This was a perfect vacation until Helene made us leave. However, the house was great, the beach was great and the host was beyond great. She prepared us with every bit of information we could want and even kept up with the weather and mandates, so we didn't have to. I look forward to making up for our shortened vacation.

Amazing host, beautiful home, steps to the beach
Wendy’s home was one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in, so much so, that we requested to stay an extra night. The property was immaculate, well stocked and has been really well cared for. It is located on the quieter end of Alligator Point, which we really enjoyed, with a short walk to the beach. Wendy was a great host and we would love to stay at her home again soon!

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!!

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!

Relaxing and quiet
It was the best beach vacation. House was cozy and quiet. The beach was almost empty. We would walk the sandbars far out at low tide. Never left the house just stocked the fridge and made all our meals at the house. House was clean and communication with Wendy was great. Our dogs enjoyed the front yard and their dog bed that was there.

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
