Property Description
New management and renovated just in time for 2021 Beach season! Custom Built for family and relaxation, this private spacious home features amazing views of the Gulf of Mexico and Alligator Bay in a private one acre compound away from the crowds. Pull on to the property through the gated entrance and escape the crowds you find at other beaches. The grounds are planted with citrus trees and a huge lawn leads you to your own 100' private white sand beach. Take the private elevator or ascend the front steps to a massive deck and pergola to relax and enjoy 4 seasons outdoor dining or take in the sound of the ocean just steps away. The interior features floor to ceiling tongue and groove walls giving it the Old Florida charm. The main living space is an open concept layout with a spacious, fully appointed kitchen that opens to the family room with a large island, wet bar, and huge pantry/laundry room. Immediately off the Family room, find a cozy screen porch to relax and watch the dolphins at sunset. The master features a Comfortaire king bed and private bathroom en suite with private access to the screened porch. The views only get better in the second spacious private bedroom with a comfortaire king bed. The third bedroom will be a favorite with the kids or grandkids with two queens and a Roku TV. Outside you'll find a private outdoor shower to wash off the sand after a long day at the beach, a screened rec room for beach games, and corn hole for the kids. There is tons of storage for all your beach toys and fishing gear. There's even a cleaning station for your catch. This is the vacation location you've been looking for to start or continue the family tradition away from the hustle and crowds, but close to amazing seafood and restaurants.

Shifting Sands
The property was perfect for us. So much open outdoor space, with 7 of us there, we never felt cooped up. The beach was amazing. Our son and his girlfriend got engaged on the beach and the engagement pics turned out great. One thing to note, there was a lot of sea grass coming in. Amenities were as described and all bed and bath linens were clean and in abundance. Chip and Josh were prompt with responses and super helpful with any questions we had. We would love to stay here again!

Family of 8 vacationing Memorial Day Week at our favorite part of the Forgotten Coast - Alligator Point. Great house that balances great modern conveniences with the old charm of your grandparents beach cottage. It has an elevator so you can bring mobile limited relatives. Direct access to your own beach 20 steps from the house. Owner is immediately responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work out any issues. Will return and visit again.

Amazing vacation
This is our second time staying here. Since our last vacation, there has been a new deck added to the back of the house. So relaxing as we watch dolphins swim in the morning. We love the setup of the house. Everything is just so comfortable and relaxing!!

Fabulous getaway!!
We had the best time at Shifting Sands!! The decks on the front and the back of the house are amazing! We spent a lot of time on both of them! The view from inside of the house was incredible and we couldn't get enough of it! The house was very comfortable and very spacious. We loved the layout. Everything was just as expected! We enjoyed long walks on the beach and watching the birds and the dolphins! Josh was an excellent host and we really appreciated him.
