    We absolutely loved the house and had a great time staying there! Having chairs and floats and the grill was very nice. We have never stayed anywhere like that. That was the first time we have gotten to go on vacation with my parents in several years. It was long overdue! We really liked the outside shower.Thanks very much for letting us use your beach house! We had a great time, and would love to go back and stay in your house!

  • What a wonderful place to forget about the rest of the world! I ended up going on this vacation alone due to last minute conflicts with other family scheduled. This will be a priceless vacation for me. I loved not having a clock or anyone to have to answer to. I read 5 books, soaked up the sun and walked the beached daily. The house is beautifully remodeled. I loved spending time on the porch. Didn't have to use the AC due to wonderful breezes from both waterfronts. Beautiful moonlight over the ocean. Normal beach rainstorms that were exciting to watch. Watched 15 pelicans hunting and feeding one morning from the porch. Dolphins almost everyday. Will go back.

  • We stayed in Beachfront Paradise May 9-16, 2009 and loved it! It appeared to have been remodeled recently and was perfect for our group. The master suite was beautiful and you are able to leave the doors open to listen to the ocean all night. The guest bedrooms each had 2 twins each so everyone had their own bed to sleep in. It has an unbelievable back porch that is completely screened so you are able to chill out and relax with the cool breeze off the ocean. The Gulf is right off the back porch and the bay is right off the front porch! The best part is the Haughtons themselves. Good people who go out of their way to make sure you have a good time. I give my highest recommendation to stay at Beachfront Paradise!!!!!!!!

  • My family of five (kids 18, 7 and 5) stayed in this home for one week during April. In our view, this is a terrific home in a wonderful location. My wife and I spent much time on VRBO trying to find the right spot on the Gulf for our Spring Break trip. We made the right choice. First, and most importantly, the beach at Alligator Point has a very natural and undisturbed quality about it - lots of shelling and critter hunting with the kids. During our stay we saw dolphins, jellyfish, pelicans and even a bald eagle. The beach was never crowded and most days it was completely deserted. As for the house itself, we found it to be just the right size for our family. The master bedroom suite is large and roomy, with a double-sink vanity in the bathroom and a walk in closet with a window. The other two bedrooms are a bit on the small size, but none of the kids spent much time in them anyway. They had no trouble falling asleep after a long day playing on the beach, so I would say they are perfect. The best part of the house are the three sets of large french doors that open up onto the screened-in porch. There was nothing better than opening them up and enjoying the sights and sounds of the Gulf. The porch also allowed us to monitor the kids playing on the beach while we were inside making dinner or having a glass of wine. A few of the other house amenities that we enjoyed were the beach toys/rafts, DSL high-speed Internet access, DirectTV in three rooms (two bedrooms and the family room), filtered water and ice-maker in the fridge, and pleasing beachy (but not overdone) decor. It is obvious that the home was recently renovated and the owners' attention to detail shows. This review would not be complete without briefly commenting about our interactions with the owners. Booking vacations like these can leave you apprehensive and wondering what you are going to find when you get there. This was our first experience booking a VRBO home and we were a little anxious about how it would all turn out. Needless to say, we had a wonderful experience with the owners and we found our communications with them to be comforting and reassuring. Every email we sent or phone we made was promptly returned. Even their recommendations on restaurants, where to find fresh seafood and local diversions proved to be terrific. We had a wonderful stay in this home and have no reservations about recommending it to others. Reserve with confidence and then enjoy your stay!

    We just returned home to Missouri! It is a long drive with three little kids, but it was definitely worth it! We had a wonderful time! It was so peaceful and so nice to get away from all the traffic and business of our lives! You have a beautiful home and we hope to be able to return in the future!

  • We had a wonderful time at your house on Alligator Point. THe house was in a great location with the gulf and the bay so accessible. We also took trips to the state park which was very interesting - so many things to see and explore. I sure hope we can return next year - everyone who was there loved it. Skip & Debbie - Phoenix, MD

  • We had a fantastic time, and the house was more than comfortable. We really enjoyed everything, the water was great, not too hot and the fresh seafood was great! You will most likely hear from us again next year.

  • We enjoyed our stay in Alligator Point, May 9 -17th. Your house is beautiful. The view was great. The waves were good since there was a strong wind all week. The fish were biting reasonable well. My son caught a 42" Red. Wow! The largest fish I've ever seen. We have pictures to prove it. We enjoyed boating in the bay. We caught the Red on the "Point". Your house had everything we needed. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to another trip to Alligator Point. Thanks so much for sharing you house with us. Patrick and Regina Carrollton, GA
