If you’re searching for the ideal Old Florida beach house, where time slows down and life moves at a different pace, this is it. We had a wonderful stay with our family of 4 and our dog (didn’t use 3 of the bedrooms, the house was bigger than expected). I used to come to alligator point as a child and haven’t been back in years, wanted to show my kids and husband this peaceful area of the forgotten coast. The house was wonderful and reminded me of the cottage my family had as a child, wooden beams and walls, beautiful old Florida style you don’t see much anymore. I loved the sunken sitting area and of course the beautiful beach views and also a long dock on the bay side. The kids enjoyed the pickleball courts and fishing beach and bay. Robin the host was great. Hope to come back again.

Photos don’t do this property justice! We were a family group of nine adults who love to be together and who value our alone time. This eclectic property had nooks and crannies for privacy, and wonderful gathering areas. The decor was beachy and fun, and the kitchen FULLY stocked with every appliance or accessory you could need. The beach was great and essentially private. Robin was wonderful and responded immediately to the few requests or questions we had. Five stars aren’t enough!

This house is beautiful and in an incredibly beautiful spot. We spent a week there over Christmas with six family members and had a wonderful time. The view from the balcony is stunning, and the full-house wrap-around porch is a great touch. We watched sunsets every night. We watched dolphins up and down the shoreline corralling fish. In December it was very quiet and the weather was perfect. The design of the house is terrific with an open concept and yet individualized spaces so that a big group can spread out and everyone still be together. Robin, the host, was very friendly, responsive, and accommodating. We played pickleball, walked on the beach, used the dock for our friend’s boat, cooked a bunch of food (two stoves and ovens came in very handy, not to mention the extra fridge in the downstairs), and much more. There were a few areas for improvement. The house was rather dusty and it felt that it wasn’t cleaned and kept up as well as it could be. I never was able to find the promised kayaks. All in all though these inconveniences were minor, and our stay was unforgettable.

It’s rustic but in a perfect way. Well maintained and charming. Comfortable and clean. Steps away from the beach just out the back door. Pickleball was fun! Alligator point is an “old Florida” community and Old Salt is the perfect house for it.

Truly Wonderful Stay with Outstanding Hospitality

Our stay at this home was truly wonderful! The host was exceptional—kind, attentive, and communicative. While some amenities were intermittent, the host went above and beyond to resolve any issues promptly. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the pool couldn't be cleaned, which limited its use during our stay. It would have been helpful to have a backup pool maintenance option. Despite this, the overall experience was amazing, and we would definitely consider renting this home again!

Perfect Old Florida Getaway

Old Salt was such a wonderful place to spend Christmas with our family! The house is so spacious and has tons of charm. And the beach is literally right out the back door! The host was super helpful with any issues that popped up and even made sure the house was decorated for our holiday week. Not much to do in this area, especially this time of year, but we were fine with that. Just got home but I already want to go back!

A treasure.

We didn’t want to leave. We fished, cooked , sunned , collected beautiful shells and enjoyed each other without the distraction of a busy city. It truly is the forgotten coast. It reminds me of our vacations to Destin when I was a child. The Old Salt is truly a treasure.

I agree the place is a treasure. I appreciated the uniqueness of Old Salt and the setting from day one. Not too many places in the world have both private beach front and a harbor with dock. Im glad you were able to rest, recharge and enjoy. Please come again Robin

About the host

Hosted by Robin Gammage

Host profile image
I am a retired nurse, nature and animal lover, enjoy painting and crafting and a mother of 3 adults and grandmother of 3 and counting. I have been in the vacation rental business since 2006. I divide my time between my home in north Georgia and Alligator Point.

Why they chose this property

A beach front house that is spacious, unique, lovely cypress and pine throughout. The property is 1.5 acres and runs from the beach to the harbor with a tennis court, gazebo and swimming pool in-between. It has a boat dock for fisherman and upon request boat mooring or boat lift.

What makes this property unique

After searching from Mobile Bay following the coast east through Destin, Panama City Mexico Beach etc... I landed on and fell in love with Alligator Point. Unspoiled Florida! I was very fortunate to find a "ship to shore" property that has both beach front and harbor. A very rare find. The vacation beach house is called "Old Salt" and my personal cottage on the harbor side is "White Squirrel". The property is loaded with charm, has architectural interest with an open floor plan and beautiful cypress and pine throughout. The dock, tennis court and pool are added bonuses . I love walking the beach and seeing the ever changing wildlife like dolphins, birds and shells or biking Alligator Dr that has the beautiful harbor views of the piers and boats. I enjoy the nightly spectacular sunsets and at the stars shine the brightest at Alligator Point.
