About this property
Gorgeous Ocean Views in Modern Beachfront Home
La Vista Bonita, meaning the beautiful view in Spanish, lives up to it's name! This home sits oceanfront on a secluded white sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Your feet hit the sand at the bottom of the stairs. This 3 bedroom home is perfect for families and couples looking to relax and unwind.
A serene retreat on Alligator Point located within Bald Point State Park creates a secluded, natural environment. During your tranquil walks on the beach you may not pass anyone else along the way. This is old Florida at its finest, known as the "Forgotten Coast".
The house itself was built in 2009 and extensively remodeled in 2024. The home is finished throughout with custom details and furnishings. The improvements done in 2024 include a new primary suite bathroom with a beautiful tile shower, new custom tile shower in the hall main bath, new blinds, painting, lights and many new pieces of furniture. The open floor plan offers living areas that include the kitchen, dining, and living room. Enjoy gorgeous ocean view from all windows, including the two large bedrooms upstairs. There are two covered decks with incredible views. Watch amazing sunrises and full moons from inside or out. See dolphins as they break the waves. Fish, hunt for shells, sunbathe, or just sit waterside with a cold beverage and take in the scenery. Ocean breezes and sunlit skies make for the perfect day!
DirectTV, Wifi, and a DVD player are included, along with a large selection of movies for adults and children.
Cook your catch of the day on the gas grill and enjoy your meal on the deck with view of the ocean. In the evening sit around the beach fire pit while gazing at the stars.
This home does not have an elevator and is not handicap accessible. The stairs as show in the pictures are the only access to the home.

Fabulous beachfront home in tranquil setting! Lots of amenities with terrific views from every window. Enjoy the sunrises, relaxing porch or long strolls on the beach. A great get-away!

Great family getaway for the summer! Quiet, peaceful, and not touristy at all! We loved having the beach all to ourselves!

We had a truly amazing stay. House was right on the beach and we could hear the waves and watch the dolphins swim by. Close to the state park so extra exploring there. Nice to relax with the family!!!

Thank you, Melissa. We are so glad you enjoyed the beach, the dolphins and the natural beauty of the forgotten coast!
We loved our stay here and couldn’t have asked for a better property or experience!! Lots to see and loads of toys to keep teen & young adult children busy. Loved having beach pretty much to ourselves and watching dolphins and crabbers daily. We look forward to staying with y’all again.

Want me to make it a little more casual and personal, like a quick note back to a friend, or keep it polished for VRBO?
This was a great location right on the beach with friendly owners who made the process super easy. Had a great weekend!

Great house in a great location. We didn’t want to leave, even stayed an extra day after the kids and grandkids left. Shopping and restaurants 20 minutes away. Easy contact with host. Good shore fishing and charters available. Hope to come again.

About the host
Hosted by Brian and Lisa Brickley
We live in Michigan and have owned a tavern in Ypsilanti for 28 years which Lisa manages. Brian has been a real estate broker for over 30 years. We love Michigan but it GETS COLD up here so the search began to find a warmer get away.
Why they chose this property
Having visited the panhandle many years ago when our son was young we found the Forgotten Coast to be beautiful, quiet and free from the endless high rise buildings found through out most of Florida. Lisa had one major criteria for finding our dream home " I have to have a view of the water!" When we found this home in Alligator Point right on the gulf, we knew we had found "La Vista Bonita"!
What makes this property unique
Did we mention the view! It's absolutely breathtaking! And the fact that this is a modern home with everything you need means the perfect vacation. Being surrounded by nature within the Bald Point State Park gives opportunities for amazing outside activities such as nature hikes, biking, fishing, and boating. Although secluded you are still close to many restaurants.
