Información de la propiedad

New management and renovated just in time for 2021 Beach season! Custom Built for family and relaxation, this private spacious home features amazing views of the Gulf of Mexico and Alligator Bay in a private one acre compound away from the crowds. Pull on to the property through the gated entrance and escape the crowds you find at other beaches. The grounds are planted with citrus trees and a huge lawn leads you to your own 100' private white sand beach. Take the private elevator or ascend the front steps to a massive deck and pergola to relax and enjoy 4 seasons outdoor dining or take in the sound of the ocean just steps away. The interior features floor to ceiling tongue and groove walls giving it the Old Florida charm. The main living space is an open concept layout with a spacious, fully appointed kitchen that opens to the family room with a large island, wet bar, and huge pantry/laundry room. Immediately off the Family room, find a cozy screen porch to relax and watch the dolphins at sunset. The master features a Comfortaire king bed and private bathroom en suite with private access to the screened porch. The views only get better in the second spacious private bedroom with a comfortaire king bed. The third bedroom will be a favorite with the kids or grandkids with two queens and a Roku TV. Outside you'll find a private outdoor shower to wash off the sand after a long day at the beach, a screened rec room for beach games, and corn hole for the kids. There is tons of storage for all your beach toys and fishing gear. There's even a cleaning station for your catch. This is the vacation location you've been looking for to start or continue the family tradition away from the hustle and crowds, but close to amazing seafood and restaurants.

About the house and the host...

We arrived, got inside easily, loved the place. Cometh then the hurricane. Josh urged us to leave, told us why, and later refunded us the 3 days lost. I almost told him to keep it in exchange for a future stay but we'll take the money and pay it back to him if we're fortunate enough to get back there.

Beautiful Beach Home!

We had a wonderful stay at Alligator Point! The house was beautiful, kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and the fish cleaning station was a great bonus for our family that loves to fish on the beach. This is our third trip to Alligator Point and it’s always a great time!

Perfect getaway

The property was the perfect getaway. It was clean and spacious. The screened porch was perfect for the evening sunset. The owners had all of our basic needs to be comfortable. The personal elevator was very helpful in moving our luggage to the main floor. Thank you for allowing our family the opportunity to stay in your home.

Cousins Getaway

We really enjoyed our “long “ weekend at Shifting Sands even though it rained the entire weekend. The screen porch and the view from the living room area were wonderful. The kitchen was well equipped and having two refrigerators was nice. The elevator was certainly a bonus for us as we were a group of women 60-74 years old. We will certainly return as a group or with our families.

Pre-Thanksgiving fun at the beach

Family of five brought Gram and Grand dad to Alligator Point for some R & R. We enjoyed our stay so much here! I visit AP often but this was my first stay at this house. Very clean, comfy beds. The view from the house to the beach was spectacular! There was a little leak in the basement, which did not affect us at all, and it was fixed quickly. Management was very responsive and helpful. I can't wait to book again next year. :)

Relaxation is priority

If you are looking to get to the beach but want to get away from all the crowds - this is the place. Our views were spectacular and my husband could fish from the beach all day long, undisturbed if he chose to. The house was extremely clean and had great views of the water! It is very comfortable and has great decks outside to observe all the wildlife (we especially enjoyed seeing the porpoises (or was it dolphins - we still debated that). The kitchen had everything you need to cook meals and we took advantage of that. Josh was available anytime we called to answer questions and that was very much appreciated. Will definitely come back!

Had Not Been To Alligator Point In Over 25 Years ...

We used to vacation at Alligator Point when our kids were young. We had not been in a long, long time. Our daughter and son-in-law wanted their kids to experience a "no frills" beach vacation. We stayed a "Shifting Sands" and our experience was WONDERFUL. The house was fantastic and dealing with "Josh" was a very enjoyable, professional, and pleasant experience. The dryer had quit working during the cleaning process from the previous guest. This was communicated to us promptly and the dryer was replaced in two days. Not an issue - at all. Our grands loved playing on the beach, fishing, and finding all the shells. We have made our reservation for next year. Thanks for everything Josh.

Private, quiet beach vacation

The house is very spacious (exactly as pictured...no wide angle lens tricks used here). We loved the huge living area with open kitchen overlooking the beach. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch taking in the view and sounds of the ocean. There is a new deck on the back (not yet pictured that is nicely done). The beach was very private and quiet. Beach access is very easy with straight walk from the back of the house. As others have noted, Alligator Point is pretty remote so make sure to have everything you need (groceries, drinking water) with you when you arrive. There was a small convenience store about 15 minutes away but the nearest decent grocery store is at least 30 minutes away. Overall, the house is well maintained with some nice upgrades (nice bathrooms, huge kitchen, plenty of outside deck areas to hang out). I took particular notice of how clean the decks were and the exterior of the home seems to get a regular washing since there was virtually no dirt/dust on the decks or railings. There was some construction debris on the ground around the outside of the house and the outdoor shower had a broken light bulb hanging from an exposed wire that made us a bit nervous to have kids walking around. There also appeared to be mold growing on the ceiling of one of the bedroom closets so we mostly stayed out of that room. This is a great place to come to simply enjoy the views and the house (but be advised not much else to do nearby).

Amazing trip

Shifting Sands is a comfortable, relaxing, beautiful property. So many positives for this property! It is very quiet with a sense of privacy. The area feels safe. The beds are comfortable. The decks are perfect. The beach is lovely - the sand is soft, the waves are perfect and the shells are plentiful and huge! It is a swimmable beach - sand all the way out, but not crystal clear water. Josh has provided plenty of chairs and sand toys. We got to know Josh as they were building a new deck during our stay - We greatly appreciated his attention to detail and concern for our experience at his property. He replied to any questions quickly and made our vacation even more enjoyable. I would not hesitate to stay there again. Josh has other properties that are amazing. Give him a call! Thanks Josh for the great vacation.

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.
