My husband and I was very happy that we were able to bring both of our dogs. Being right in the beach was amazing. Got to watch the sunrise from the dock across the road and sunset from the deck and on the beach. No complaints at all about the house and the host was very responsive to our questions. We had everything we needed for our stay. The community of Alligator Point is nicely tucked away, there are several nice places to see with a short drive. Overall it was six days of relaxing, enjoying the views and having our dogs with us made it a great vacation.

We really enjoyed our time at Skipper! It's location on the west end of Alligator Point is perfect for walking the beach for miles in either direction. With so many shells to search for and so many dolphins to watch, our time there was so relaxing that we can't wait to go back!

Thank you for visiting Alligator Point and staying at the Skipper. In addition to miles of walkable beach you might enjoy the bike path as well. When you return if you are interested I can arrange for bikes. Again, I thank you. Robin

The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The views were amazing and both decks provided comfortable seating to watch sunsets. A plus was the little fenced in area so we could let the dogs out in the middle of the night. If you’re looking for a relaxing, out of the way location, this place is perfect. There are lots of stairs so be prepared and keep in mind that restaurants and grocery stores are not nearby.

Amazing!!

We had a great time in this cute house! It was very clean and well stocked. The location is perfect, view was incredible, with the beach on one side and dock on the other. We loved walking straight out to the beach for a walk! Pickleball was so fun! Loved this stay and wished it could last longer:)

I am a retired nurse and my daughter an Atlanta realtor/artist. We along with my son in law purchased Skipper 2020 as a vacation rental. I have personally been in the vacation rental business since 2006. We are from Atlanta Georgia. We discovered and fell in love with Alligator Point in 2017. We feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to acquire this unique beach front property with harbor views and to be able to share it.
