On the Beach — Not Across the Road

Location: Alligator Point, FL on the Eastern End of Franklin County's renowned “Forgotten Coast”.

This secluded Old Florida oasis spans eight miles of natural coastline along a narrow beach peninsula. Alligator Point offers unspoiled beaches, fabulous fishing, unsurpassed wildlife viewing and absolute tranquility.

“Starfish Wishes” is a well-appointed ground level Gulf front home offering a fresh take on old familiar comforts.

Arrive and unpack among moss draped oaks adorning a large shady yard with fenced areas your dog will love.

Inside the colorful and tasteful coastal décor and warm wood floors set the tone for a laid-back getaway from the moment you enter.

The fully equipped kitchen with bar seating opens to a cozy living room with plenty of plush seating.

Both the full bathroom and half bathroom are easily accessible from any of the three bedrooms and living space.

There are two bedrooms featuring king-sized beds, and a third bedroom with two twin beds.

Porthole details add nautical flair to the home's doors, while your furry companions get a door of their own – a dog door leading from the screened porch to a fenced side yard.

Outside, relax with your favorite book on the spacious porch or soak up daytime sun and starlight vistas from the open deck.

A private boardwalk leads the way to the sand for beach strolls, sunsets, and fabulous surf fishing opportunities.

High speed internet with WIFI provided.
Beds: 2 Kings, 2 Twins
TV's in All Rooms

We sat on the screened in porch and watched the waves and dolphins. The porch swing made a comfortable place to relax.
