Zambezi Sunrise ... Gulf View, Nearby Beach Access, Pets in Alligator Point

We welcome you to our laid back beach home in Alligator Point. We are
just "a stone's throw" from the beach, with one tier of homes in
front of us. Beach access is located at the end of the street, just
a short walk from the house (approximately 300 yards).
Our house has recently been updated and has all of the comforts of
home. We offer 1400 sq. ft. of spacious living area, which includes 3
bedrooms (one was converted from a sunroom), 2 bathrooms (master bath
has garden jacuzzi tub and separate shower), kitchen and family
room/dining room. The family area is furnished with two comfortable
sleeper sofas 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 gulf breeze. It just doesn't get any better!
All three bedrooms have queen-size beds. The bedroom that was
converted from a sunroom also has a twin-size bed, along with the
queen. Our den offers additional sleeping with two double sofabeds.
These accommodations will sleep 8 to 10 comfortably. Perfect for any
size family or group.
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. We are located near the State
Park boundary in a spot that is off the main drag and surrounded by
some dunes.
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!
