Amazing!!

We had a great time in this cute house! It was very clean and well stocked. The location is perfect, view was incredible, with the beach on one side and dock on the other. We loved walking straight out to the beach for a walk! Pickleball was so fun! Loved this stay and wished it could last longer:)

My husband and I stayed 12 nights and didn’t want to leave! The house was clean, well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. We watched dolphins every morning from our balcony. The serene atmosphere was perfect for us. The Pickleball courts were a plus! We will be back.

We had a wonderful vacation. We will rent this place again. A larger grill would be better than a table top grill. The outdoor shower head needs to be glued. It came off & hit me in the forehead. We were uncertain of which pier went with the house.

Would not stay here again

The property location was great. The deck views are beautiful, however, the property changed from initial listing. The property had a serious issue with black mold and roaches. We came into the house with 5 dead roaches and they consistently entered the house throughout our stay despite our best efforts at cleaning, closing doors, etc. There is rust everywhere making opening and shutting doors difficult. This property has good bones, but needs a serious remodel. If I were to go to Alligator Point again, I would not stay here.

Retirement trip for myself

I spent 2 glorious weeks at this property. I can't temember when I've been so relaxed. I dont think I've ever seen my reactive 4-legged baby so relaxed and calm. I'm already planning my next stay the the Skipper. It was perfect. For me, the location was wonderful. It was exactly what I"ve been looking for for years! It was quiet. Even in this peak season, there were no crowds, only neighbors. The view from the deck off of the living room area was incredible. Always a breeze. So pleasant to sit out there. It's where I spent a lot of time. I loved the little dog run area off of the main bedroom. It was so convenient to let my dog out for potty breaks. Only a couple of issues with the internet here and there, but overall it was an absolute wonderful stay. I was sad to leave and I'm looking forward to returning.

Beautiful location

The Skipper did not disappoint! The house was extremely clean, right down to the baseboards and corners! The beach was beautiful and quiet. We lucked out with a gorgeous week of weather. Found beach treasures galore. Enjoyed sunset walks everyday with the best photo ops because there were no crowds of people to contend with. The ice machine in the freezer was the only thing out of order, but we were able to get ice at the marina very near by! Thanks for sharing your place with us Robin!

Serenity and Seclusion

Our stay at the Skipper Beach House was delightful! We spent New Year's at the Skipper and the beaches were serene and not over run by tourists. The views are absolutely breathtaking from all areas of the beach house! I loved sitting on the balcony with my pups while I indulged in a book with the sounds of the ocean in the background! Robin was a great host! I will definitely be coming back to this piece of paradise!

A quiet, restful getaway.

My husband, myself and our 2 dogs spent a week at this lovely home. Set right on the beach, you can hear the waves lapping all day, and that's about the only sound you'll hear. Beautiful sunsets/sunrises. Absolute tranquility. The house is well stocked, bed very comfortable. Everything as described in listing. Would love to come back.

Relaxing

We enjoyed the area so much, and the house is 'as advertised'. So dark at night we stargazed and watched comets, satellites etc. Eat at Poseys, go to Wakuylla and take the boat tour and have a meal in the dining room. Lot;s of fishing and boating opportunities....or just bring some books.

Fantastic stay at the Skipper!

The perfect place for a group of four. This a not a place to go if you a looking for a touristy area. It was absolutely perfect for us. Quiet, beach access right out back. All the amenities we needed and spacious enough we weren’t in each others way. We’d definitely stay here again.

I am a retired nurse and my daughter an Atlanta realtor/artist. We along with my son in law purchased Skipper 2020 as a vacation rental. I have personally been in the vacation rental business since 2006. We are from Atlanta Georgia. We discovered and fell in love with Alligator Point in 2017. We feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to acquire this unique beach front property with harbor views and to be able to share it.
