We came for Thanksgiving with family. The kitchen was adequate to prepare our dinner(with a few improvizations.) We enjoyed the firepit and walking distance to the beach. The very nice TV provided evening entertainment. The bedrooms were nice. We had understood there was a second half bath which we never found.

This place is a hidden gem. The beaches were great and just a short drive away. The blue crabs were plentiful in the lagoon and we were able to catch plenty for a large crab dinner. We loved seeing all of the wildlife (even the black bear that snuck up on me). 10/10 would recommend visiting Alligator Point!

Adorable and very clean. We loved sitting by the fire and listening to the fish jump at night. When it’s dark they sound HUGE. The neighbors were all friendly but not all up in our business. It felt very private and quiet and restorative. Exactly what we needed.

This little gem was absolutely what we were looking for for our off-season getaway. The yard and the house itself were beautiful, clean, and cozy. You should be aware that the location is quite a drive from many conveniences. We were prepared for that going in, and it ended up being one of the reasons we loved it so much. It feels secluded, which was amazing. Our big item was the ability to bring our pups with us. Tina was very easy to work with on that and the dogs had a great time at the beach because of it. Overall we would highly recommend.

Peaceful Island Retreat with Beautiful Views

My husband and I stayed here during a work trip, and it was a lovely experience. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, with just a short walk to the beach. Since you're on an island, the beach isn’t overly crowded, which adds to the relaxation. I highly recommend visiting St. Marks Lighthouse while you're here—it’s one of the most picturesque landscapes we’ve ever seen.The house was clean and stocked with the basic essentials for cooking and cleaning, which made our stay comfortable and convenient. If you're a fan of collecting treasures from the shore, there aren’t many shells, but you can find broken coral and the occasional sand dollar. The yard is decent, though the dock was in need of repair during our stay, so we weren’t able to walk out on it. However, the house backs right up to the water, offering a beautiful and serene view. Overall, it’s a great place for a quiet getaway with stunning natural beauty.

About the host

Hosted by Tina

Host profile image
We are a family from Maine who completely fell in love with Alligator Point. The beaches are pristine, uncrowded, and truly beautiful, and the people here are welcoming and friendly. It feels like a hidden gem, and we’re excited to share this special place with our guests. We even named our business after our two rescue Labradors, who love chasing ghost crabs and taking long walks up the beach. It’s the perfect place to slow down, relax, and unwind.

Why they chose this property

The scene at Alligator Point is calm, natural, and unhurried. Mornings begin with peaceful lagoon views, the sound of birds, and fish breaking the water, while evenings bring glowing sunsets, star-filled skies, and the gentle crackle of a fire. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, with uncrowded beaches perfect for long walks, shelling, and dolphin watching. What we enjoy most is the laid-back atmosphere and sense of community—it’s a place where you can truly disconnect, slow down, and appreciate the beauty of the coast.

What makes this property unique


What makes this property unique is its rare combination of peaceful lagoon-front living and easy beach access. Guests can fish or crab right from the lagoon, then take a short walk to enjoy pristine, uncrowded white sand beaches. The setting is quiet and relaxing, with beautiful water views, outdoor living space, and a cozy fire pit—perfect for unwinding. Tucked away in laid-back Alligator Point, it truly feels like a hidden coastal gem.
