We had a great time! We went for the beach and that’s what we got! The house was very accommodating and the open floor plan allowed us to enjoy some much needed family time! The fact that we didn’t have to fight for a spot on the beach or rent beach equipment was worth it for my wife and I. I think the kids (ages 16-20) would have liked to have been a little closer to a beach town but when it was all said and done, we had a great time and would recommend this house as a great, low key vacation getaway!

Shifting Sands is the perfect location for anyone who loves the beach, fishing in the ocean, and solitude. It is located right on the beach, which almost always had less than ten other people, and we were usually the only ones there. It is perfect for walking the beach, sitting in a chair with a book, or fishing. The house itself is amazing. Bedrooms were perfect for our family of 5, with a large sitting room that has windows along the entire wall giving a panoramic view of the ocean and dolphins playing in the water. The house has amazing ocean views from all bedrooms, and the kitchen (as soon as you walk in the house) as well. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook. The host is very responsive to messages. We loved our trip and hope to come back!

Mary, I wish you had said something during your stay about the elevator. I'm always around and ready to respond to any issues. I went as soon as I read this and found the elevator is working normally. Not sure what issue you had, but there is no problem with the elevator. Sometimes people unfamiliar with the operation of residential elevator don't realize you have to have both doors closed to call the elevator to another floor. We would love to have you back and I'll be sure to come give you a tutorial on the operation ;)
Acerca del anfitrión
Anfitrión: Chip Cordell/Josh Simmons
I was born and raised in Tallahassee and our family "beach cottage" was built at Alligator Point when I was 12. My family spent late May through early September and many weekends there. It was Home. My childhood was a grand time of water-skiing, fishing, scalloping, exploring, and numerous other childhood endeavors. I graduated from FSU then Veterinary School at Auburn University. I founded Tallahassee Veterinary Hospital and practiced small animal medicine and surgery for 36 years. I am married to Charlotte and have three daughters and seven grandchildren, all living in Tallahassee. In 1987, I built "Shifting Sands" at Alligator Point as a weekend home for my growing family as well as a future retirement home. We moved to Alligator Point in 2008 and lived at "Shifting Sands" until my wife's health forced a move back to Tallahassee in 2016. In 2021, the house was updated and renovated and ready for others to enjoy as we have. We miss life at Alligator Point and visit every chance we get. It's heartwarming to think of other families making memories doing the same things we enjoyed so much at "Shifting Sands". One of those favorite memories that I'm sure you'll love is sunset walks on the beach. Enjoy!
Por qué eligió esta propiedad
"Shifting Sands" is built on the gulf-front property directly across the road from the bay house built by my parents in 1957, the "beach cottage" of my youth.
Qué distingue a esta propiedad
"Shifting Sands" has a comfortable, relaxed beach character with all of the modern conveniences. The view of the beach and gulf from an elevated position gives a good angle to everyone in the kitchen and family room. Porpoise frequently teach their young to fish as we watch. Heron and gulls feed almost constantly. Neighbors wave as they walk past on the beach. The porch swing on the front deck is tailor-made for daydreaming.
