The Cottage contains a great room which includes the kitchen, living room and dining area with three sliding glass doors providing panoramic ocean views. Step through the doors to a screen porch to enjoy sunrises and sunsets from your porch swing. The screen porch and master bedroom open on to the deck for sunbathing with a back stairway down to the enclosed hot water outdoor shower.

Long Weekend
I almost gave less stars for the accuracy of the listing because the pictures don’t do this place justice! It is adorable and though on the smaller side, still very spacious. The screened in porch overlooking the ocean was our favorite place to spend time when we weren’t on the beach! Yes the water is dark so if you are looking to snorkel, you likely won’t be happy but the beach is clean, has nice white sand & plenty of sea treasures to be found. 10/10 for a laid back, quiet getaway! We enjoyed every second of our trip

Love this cottage!
This is our 2nd time at Wendy's cottage & it did not disappoint! It's clean & she has great little perks like eggs, bagels, coffee, & even a bottle of wine. It's an easy walk down the path to the beach & short drive to Panacea to eat at Angelos. We look forward to returning to the sweet little cottage!

Perfect Beach Getaway
This host has shared a family beach home with the guests. There are wonderful near views of the water where we watched pelicans and dolphins play. This is located in a quiet area of the Florida panhandle without crowds. It’s possible to see both sunrise and sunset from the screen porch. Very comfortable and spotless interior space.

A taste of Heaven & Hurricane!!
There's not enough stars to give this Beautiful Beach Cottage! We were there 3 days & had to evacuate for the Cat 3 Hurricane. We left & came back in a couple days to finish our 2 week trip( with a couple extra days on Wendy)!! Wendy was the absolute best host we've ever dealt with in a rental. Everything was so Beautiful & Cozy. If possible, I'd give Wendy & the Beach Cottage 10 stars!! If you're looking then start booking! Will not be disappointed! We will definitely be back !!

This was our 2nd stay at Miller High Life and it was wonderful as expected. The house is clean, homey and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The location is great and communication with the owners is flawless. We couldn’t recommend the property or thank the owners enough. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again.

Paradise on the beach
Miller High Life is an amazing place to escape everything and reset on the beach. Everything you need for a relaxing stay. Very clean and comfortable. The views of the Gulf are incredible and birds and sea life never stop. The fenced yard makes bringing your dog so easy and stress free. Highly recommend this cottage on Alligator Point beach!!! R&J

A beautiful home away from home
Our family had an amazing time! The home was perfect for us— plenty of room, welcoming atmosphere, and so comfortable for us to share with our 15 month old boxer pup. Our family explored the gorgeous beach and state park every morning and every evening. We took a fishing trip with a local guide one day and brought home plenty of freshly caught fish to eat for dinner. We grilled every night, played games, and laughed as our pup, Maple, chased crabs and birds on the dog friendly beach. The Miller cottage and all of its little touches made us feel like we were at a home away from home. She even had quilts for Maple so we felt more comfortable allowing her to get as cozy in the house as us.

Peaceful Place
We were looking for a quiet beachfront home with views, porches, a large fenced area with shade (for our dog) and Wendy's place significantly surpassed our expectations! The photos are less attractive than the home and lot which was a pleasant surprise as the opposite is usually the case. The home is located in a small neighborhood with all of the homes beachside, well spaced. We would describe the home as extremely comfortable for 2 with room for more. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals. The living room seating was great with a big smart TV. The bed slept very well, bathrooms were clean with tons of fluffy towels. There were 2 back porch areas, one screened and one unscreened, perfect for relaxing. The downstairs (under house) was cool with seating, swing and hammock. Laundry room was downstairs with a good W/D, beach chairs, umbrella. From the house a path through the dunes led to the white sand beach. Aside from some dog walkers on the beach in the early morning we had the whole beach almost to ourselves most days. At low tide we could walk several miles, sometimes east onto the expansive state park beach which was undeveloped (no pets there). We knew the water was brackish along this stretch which didn't bother us. We found lots of shells, watched many birds, had dolphins on several days. If you are looking for a truly quiet stretch of beach and a nice place to stay, especially with a dog, this is a good find. We want to come back!

Spring Break 2023
My son and his two boys 11 and 14 arrived to a home ready for us = eggs, English muffins, wine, plenty of coffee and views of the Gulf. There is a large sand bar that greeted us several mornings. We were able to see the local sights - where the D Day and Iwo Jima (invader)soldiers trained, a W W II Museum, golfed at a beautiful course, perused Alligator Island by car and on foot! We fished - catching a variety of fish. Sunsets and sunrises were lovely! The home totally met our needs. Bears visited the trash can at nighttime - be sure you put the lid on correctly! Not sure why the trash company was not picking up trash - as there was trash from the previous renters and ours was not taken. We would return to this home!
