About this property
Charming Alligator Point "Old Florida” Beach Cottage
Our Cottage, ‘Miller’s High Life,’ sits on an acre ocean front lot with approximately half an acre fenced for your canine companions to walk and run free. This area of the Point is called Mud Cove where low tide provides an immense sandbar for shelling and high tide provides outstanding fishing. The Cottage contains a great room which includes the kitchen, living room and dining area with three sliding glass doors providing panoramic ocean views. Step through the doors to a screen porch to enjoy sunrises and sunsets from your porch swing. The screen porch and master bedroom open on to the deck for sunbathing with a back stairway down to the enclosed hot water outdoor shower. Hammock, picnic table, bench swing and gas grill are beneath the house for outdoor cooking and entertainment. Scraped wood floors throughout with new carpeting in the large master bedroom. A 42" flat screen T.V. is in the master bedroom and a 55" flat screen T.V. is in the great room. Half bath attached to master bedroom with full bath in the hall. "Minnie's" room has twin beds, chest, wicker desk and chair. Master has a king bed, nightstands, small chest and chair. Deck has teak benches, one teak chair and one chaise lounge. For dining, the adults can sit at the kitchen island on tall director's chairs with the children next to them at the dining table. Living room furniture includes large sofa, queen futon, futon chair with footstool, two coffee tables perfect for playing cards, an L.L. Bean denim dog bed, china hutch and two wicker chairs to sit on if you're wet from swimming. Handmade quilts and plenty of books and pillows to curl up and read. Forty-five minutes from Tallahassee and fifteen minutes to the bridge for dinner out at Angelo's. Twenty minutes to St. James Bay golf course. Long driveway for easy parking and washer/dryer in storage room under house.

Make sure you get close to the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.

About the host
Hosted by Wendy Miller

My husband and I bought this Cottage in 1996 as a weekend getaway. As native Floridians, we grew up spending many weekends and summers at the beach. Neither of us had a family home at the beach, so when we were afforded the opportunity to own a piece of Alligator Point, we were thrilled. My husband passed in 2020 from complications from COVID19, so now I manage the Cottage with the help of my daughter. The weight of the world lifts as you cross the Ochlockonee Bay Bridge headed to the Point. I am sure you will experience the same feeling; I welcome you to enjoy Florida's Forgotten Coast.
Why they chose this property
