Amazing vacation
This is our second time staying here. Since our last vacation, there has been a new deck added to the back of the house. So relaxing as we watch dolphins swim in the morning. We love the setup of the house. Everything is just so comfortable and relaxing!!

Shifting Sands
The property was perfect for us. So much open outdoor space, with 7 of us there, we never felt cooped up. The beach was amazing. Our son and his girlfriend got engaged on the beach and the engagement pics turned out great. One thing to note, there was a lot of sea grass coming in. Amenities were as described and all bed and bath linens were clean and in abundance. Chip and Josh were prompt with responses and super helpful with any questions we had. We would love to stay here again!

Family of 8 vacationing Memorial Day Week at our favorite part of the Forgotten Coast - Alligator Point. Great house that balances great modern conveniences with the old charm of your grandparents beach cottage. It has an elevator so you can bring mobile limited relatives. Direct access to your own beach 20 steps from the house. Owner is immediately responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work out any issues. Will return and visit again.

Fabulous getaway!!
We had the best time at Shifting Sands!! The decks on the front and the back of the house are amazing! We spent a lot of time on both of them! The view from inside of the house was incredible and we couldn't get enough of it! The house was very comfortable and very spacious. We loved the layout. Everything was just as expected! We enjoyed long walks on the beach and watching the birds and the dolphins! Josh was an excellent host and we really appreciated him.

Beautiful Oceanfront View
The location is very quiet and private with a beautiful oceanfront view. The living area was open and spacious. Living area was neat and clean. It looked like there had been some damage to the screened in porch area and underside of home from recent hurricanes that had not been fixed yet, so the porch area doors did not close properly, but had no effect on the living area, just cosmetic fixes that needed to be complete. The place is quiet and remote, so it took around 30 min to get to a grocery store.The coffee pot quit working one morning, but the property manager had a new one delivered to us within minutes! We very much enjoyed our stay!

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.

Perfect secluded getaway!
Perfect family vacation spot, especially during the pandemic when being away from crowds was highly desired. Josh is a great host- easily accessible if anything is needed and he even checked in during our stay when he was planning to come to the point for something else to see if we needed anything!

Om vÀrden
Chip Cordell/Josh Simmons Àr vÀrd
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!
Varför vÀrden valde detta boende
"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.
Vad som gör detta boende unikt
"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.
