Vacation Rental Description

Kick back anywhere in our house or on our wrap-around deck to enjoy 
our million dollar view!!! Although our location is not gulf front, 
it might as well be, because we're lucky enough to have the gulf just 
a few feet out our front door (across the street).  The beach can be 
accessed about 100 yards down the road and over the rocks.  The 
closest "official" beach access is about 1/2 mile.  We also offer 
great surf fishing.  Talk about convenient!

We offer approximately 1000 sq. ft. of living area, which includes 2 
bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen and family room. The family area is 
furnished with 2 comfortable sofas, 2 chairs, and is open to the 
kitchen and dining area.  We also offer additional room for dining on 
our large wrap-around deck.  If you are an early bird, you can enjoy 
your morning coffee while taking in the inspiring sunrises over the 
gulf, or just kick back any time of the day to enjoy the roar of the 
ocean and the gentle gulf breeze.  It just doesn't get any better! 

Both bedrooms have queen-size beds.  These accommodations will sleep 
2 to 4 people comfortably. Perfect for a small group or family.

Alligator Point is located 45 miles south of Tallahassee along US 
Hwy. 98 in Franklin County.  Franklin County proudly boasts that it 
has no stop lights, no fast food, and no movie theaters.  If you are 
looking for water parks, high rise condos, and go-cart rides, you 
have come to the wrong place.  But if you want the REAL FLORIDA,  
with its abundant wildlife, great fishing and unspoiled, pristine 
beaches, you have arrived at your dream destination. 

Come enjoy the beautiful beach at Alligator Point and Bald Point 
State Park, where you can enjoy sunbathing, snorkeling, swimming, 
fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, bird watching and nature study.  
Alligator Point Beach is more narrow than the beaches at Panama City 
or Destin, but it goes on forever.  

Within a few minutes drive are two of the nation’s TOP TEN RATED 
BEACHES, St. George Island State Park, near Apalachicola, and St. 
Joseph Peninsula State Park, near Port St. Joe.  Both parks contain 
miles of undeveloped beaches, emerald waters and white sugar sand.  
Other nearby attractions include St. Vincent National Wildlife 
Refuge, an unspoiled barrier island just offshore from the mouth of 
the Apalachicola River in the Gulf of Mexico. The island is a haven 
for endangered and threatened species, including bald eagles, wood 
storks, sea turtles, indigo snakes, gopher tortoises and red wolves.  
It is accessible only by boat.  A favorite is Wakulla Springs State 
Park, one of the world's deepest freshwater springs, with swimming, 
nature boat rides and glass bottom boats. Wakulla Springs is known as 
the shooting location for several Tarzan movies, Creature from the 
Black Lagoon and Airport ‘77.  From the river boat and glass bottom 
boat tours, you can see alligators, many species of wading birds, 
water fowl, fish, turtles, and snakes, in and among the crystal clear 
waters emerging from the depth of the springs. Kids love diving from 
the diving platform into the refreshing spring waters, which remain a 
constant 68-70 degrees year round.  The St. Marks National Wildlife 
Refuge features the St. Marks Lighthouse, and offers a habitat for 
all kinds of Florida wildlife. (Bald eagles are often spotted here - 
so keep your eyes peeled!)

So the guys want to take in some of the finest deep sea or flats 
fishing in Florida; NO PROBLEM, LADIES!  While they are catching 
speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, grouper, redfish (the list goes 
on), you can visit historic Apalachicola.  Once a bustling sea port, 
this quaint village of about 5,000 still boasts a large shrimp fleet, 
a downtown shopping area with antiques, boutiques and local art, and 
beautiful restored houses from a bygone era.  Once the third largest 
cotton port along the Gulf Coast, the Apalachicola/East Point area 
still harvests and processes 90% of the oysters consumed in Florida.  

Locally caught seafood is prepared in the many fine restaurants 
located in Panacea, Carrabelle, and Apalachicola. If you prefer to 
cook it yourself, fresh shrimp, oysters, and the catch of the day are 
available in the seafood houses dotted along the coast from Panacea 
to Port St. Joe. 

We can't wait for you to experience our personal paradise.  Just put 
on your shorts and flip-flops and leave your worries at home!    

Driving Directions: Take US 319 south from Tallahassee.  At the 
intersection with US 98 take a right.  Follow US 98 until you cross 
the Ochlockonee Bay Bridge into Franklin County.  About ½ mile past 
the bridge you take your first left on Alligator Drive.  Alligator 
Dr. bears to the right; after you make that turn, follow the 
coastline about 1 mile - we are located on the right, directly across 
from the water - 1284 Alligator Dr.
