Summer is Booked But Autumn Is Great!!!

We came in August 2012 with our 3 elementary aged kids and had the best time!!!! Alligator Point is a LOT different than other places we usually visit for our summer beach trip (Destin, Gulf Shores....), but we LOVED it here!!! It was so quiet! Practically had the beach to ourselves! The house was so wonderful! LOVED having the pool and the screened in porch areas!!!! Just can't say enough good about it!!! We plan to come back because we all had such a great time! Next time we will bring fishing poles to fish off the dock in the back!!!

We returned to Bottom's Up Beach House this summer.The house and Alligator Point are wonderful. If you like lots of traffic, busy beaches, crowded streets and high rise hotels this is not the place for you. If you want to have a tranquil, quiet, back to nature beach vacay- this is your dream!

You could stay on the beach but for the money Bottom's Up is way better. Faye & family to a great job ensuring any problems are resolved and any questions are answered. The home is beautiful, right near one of several public beach access points. The pool - you will use it. It is great! We caught crabs in the trap this year. The kids wanted to check it daily. (kids will love the pirate room). I used the bikes this time and what a great ride down alligator drive- very scenic.

This year the ocean had more waves I am sure due to the recent storms. But don't let that sway you because the beach was still beautiful and Never crowded.We saw dolphins, sea turtles, baby sharks (guys fishing near by caught some 2 different days at the beach) and plenty of fish....may bring the fishing pole next time. 2 suggestions: 1.) Be sure to bring your own beach chairs as there aren't any at the house. But everything else you need is there. 2.) Buy a couple bags of ice in Panacea as the freezer won't produce it as fast as you need it.

Rent here- you WILL NOT be disappointed!

My Colorado family and my Florida family were able to meet up at The Bottom's Up Beach House and spent eight great days. There was plenty of room and it had everything we needed to have a good time. The house was clean and the kitchen worked well and was properly equipped.

Faye was wonderful in answering any questions and offering plenty of suggestions and general information. She had described perfectly the area and the amenities at the house.

We truly enjoyed this quiet enjoyment opportunity. We had brought kayaks and explored the bays and especially were enthralled by the sea and bird life and fishing from the end of Bald Point State Park. We did see a very large alligator there off the point and got some good pictures of it.

The southern end of the Ochlockonee Bay Bridge also has a very easy launching spot and a nice fishing pier.

One day we headed out to Wakulla Springs and it was wonderful. For those of us who had never seen an alligator in the wild, this place is amazing. The boat ride around the park was a never ending display of birds, turtles ,alligators and very cool scenery. A must do.

The trip to Apalachicola was scenic and the oyster cuisine a delight. We went to the Boss Oyster restaurant and it is tops in my book ever in the Gulf.

We ate at a number of nearby seafood places but the flounder at Posey's in Panacea was real special.

I would recommend staying here to anyone who has spent enough vacations amidst high rise condos, traffic and t-shirt shops and would like to decompress. We sure did.

We'd love to come back, relax again around the pool and enjoy the wonders of the " Forgotten Coast " or as it was also presented the " Real Florida "
