About this property

White Pelican - Beach-Front Home on Gulf-to-Bay Lot

White Pelican: 3 BR, 2 BA home immaculately maintained. Sits on huge Gulf front gulf-to-bay lot for water view from every window of the house. Huge deck and screen porch on the gulf, overlooking beautiful sand dunes and private beach. Front deck overlooks Alligator Bay and natural forest area. Sleeps 7. Air conditioned, dishwasher, washer/dryer, cable TV, DVD, VCR, gas grill, fully furnished. High speed wireless internet and Cable TV provided.


Amenities: Hardwood floors throughout, two queen beds, bunk bed with double and a single; recently remodeled; Soapstone kitchen counters and new second bath; microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, fully furnished kitchen, ceiling fans, cable TV and VCR, gas grill; 16 foot wide glass doors look out on huge screen porch, private beach.

Need multiple houses for large group or can't find the dates your looking for, check out our other VRBO listings Shifting Sands (3bd/2bath sleeps 8) and Blue Heron (7bd/5bath sleeps 20 with pool)

Activities: Very quiet area. No theme parks, roller coasters, kiddie parks, etc. Shopping within 30-45 minutes; trips to Carrabelle, Wakulla, Apalachicola, East Point, Tallahassee are popular. Deep sea fishing boats leave from several local marinas. Wonderful restaurants within 15 minutes drive. Fishing from surf in front of the house this year yielded Spanish mackerel, flounder, whiting, and Redfish.


Area: Alligator Point is a narrow spit of land about 4 miles long. Most maps don't list it. Years ago, the area was called 'Lighthouse Point' before it was developed. Our house is at the most narrow part, thus the gulf-to-bay location. Our back yard is the Gulf of Mexico; our front yard is Alligator Bay. Nice easy sand path through the dunes to the beach....the bay is accessible in the front of the house and we recently added a 420' dock for fishing and boat mooring available upon request (inquire for details).

Highway 98 is the main highway that runs along the coast. Alligator Drive (Highway 370) cuts down to the peninsula just west of the big bridge over Ochlocknee Bay. Light shopping is available within 15 minutes of the house.

Josh was a great host and went out of his way to check with locals to give us tips on fishing in the area. We really enjoyed our stay and you can’t beat having the bay with two docks out the front door and the beach directly out the back door. Great, large deck for watching the sunrise and sunsets.

White Pelican is a lovely, cozy house. I stayed here with two friends and we enjoyed having two separate sitting areas. It's great to have both the screened porch and the outdoor porch. The few steps up to the front door also make loading and unloading easy. I've rented from Josh a number of times over the years and he is always very responsive. His properties are nicely decorated and generally well-appointed. The only reason I did not give this property a five star rating is due to the appliances being, while functional, rather worn. Nonetheless, I would certainly rent this house again!

Great communication with owner. Wonderful location. Caught reds an trout from the beach. An boys loved catching blue crabs off the dock. Seen lots of dolphins from the beach and dock. There were a few items of the house that needed attention, but we were at the end of summer. Im sure they will be addressed. Looking at coming back next year . Overall it was a great week vacation and the owner was Awesome.

Staying at the White Pelican

We had a great time staying at the White Pelican, the house was great, the ability to use the dock was an added plus, the beach wasn’t crowded and even though the wind and waves were a little rough for fishing we made the best of the time together and made some awesome memories!

About the host

Hosted by Josh Simmons

Host profile image
This is our personal vacation home not a shabby rental investment filled with inexpensive worn furniture and run by a corporation. We take great pride in making it inviting and well appointed. The home has been renovated from top to bottom since we purchased the home and we have just renovated the master suite with new glass enclosed master shower and ship lap bedroom in the winter of 17. We are avid divers and spearfish year around in the amazingly bountiful waters of the gulf.

What makes this property unique

One of the coveted few gulf to bay properties on The Point with waterviews from every room! Composite 420 sq ft deck overlooks the gulf as does the large screened porch.
