Peaceful and lovely

This was my second stay at Somewhere in the Sun. Even on Memorial Day weekend, Alligator Point was peaceful and uncrowded. The little house is as charming, comfortable and lovingly cared for as ever. I will be back.

Peace and Quiet

This is a classic Old Florida-style beach house. If you're looking for the Hilton, it's not the place for you. It is, however, clean, comfortable and right on the beach. The neighborhood is very quiet. If you're short like me, bring a step stool to climb into the bed, it's the tallest bed I've ever seen!

Loved Somewhere in the Sun

We just loved our little house! Probably the most laid back vacation we’ve had in a long time! Having to contend with the weather was not fun but we ate good and relaxed a lot. The dogs loved their beach time, which was a plus! We will be back!

Wonderful beach house

This beach house is perfect in every way, I could not have asked for a better place to spend 2 weeks with my dogs. It has everything that you need for a perfect beach vacation. Everything was amazing, the deck, outdoor shower, location, the host, everything. I would go back there next time I want to stay at a beach house.

Great place

This was our second time at Somewhere in the sun . We love the house and the beach. I would give our stay a 5 star but we arrived on Sunday and a mandatory evacuation came out Monday because of Helene . We left Wednesday morning. Luckily the house came through well. We'll be back next year ,,

Vacation Stay

Great area as its more of a private stay compared to other parts of Flordia. It was nice being directly on the beach and we loved the raised platform to lounge on. We visited multiple nearby towns that had plenty of places to eat all around a 30 minute scenic drive.
