🛏️ The Space
Designed to capture the laid-back magic of Alligator Point, Point & Paddle feels like a modern beach cottage tucked between forest and water. Every room is thoughtfully styled — from the king bedrooms with bold wallpaper and natural light, to cozy guest spaces dressed in soft neutrals and woven textures.
Ground Level
• King Bedroom: A calm retreat featuring natural textures, bold coastal accents, and easy access to the main living area.
• Bunk Room: Fun and functional with twin-over-twin bunks — perfect for kids or extra guests. Both rooms share the hall bath on this level.
Upstairs
• Open Loft Space: At the top of the stairs, this airy, open area includes a queen bed and a full-size pull-out sleeper sofa. It does not have a door, so it’s best for family members or guests comfortable with shared spaces.
• King Bedroom: A private, light-filled room featuring a king bed and soft linens.
Bathroom: Conveniently located between the king bedroom and the loft area, this upstairs bath includes a walk-in shower and fresh coastal finishes.
Gather for meals in the glass-top dining space, or head out to the deck to grill and unwind while herons glide across the pond. Inside, you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable living area, and spaces that make you want to slow down.
🎲Game Room
Just off the back deck, through the screened porch door, you’ll find a separate game room — a fun bonus space for guests of all ages. It includes an air hockey/pool/ping pong combo table, a smart TV, and a bar counter with two bar stools for hanging out or enjoying drinks after a day on the water. There’s also a full bathroom with a shower for added convenience.
⛱️This game room also houses guest-use items such as the beach wagon, beach umbrella, beach chairs, and life vests for the kayaks, making it easy to grab everything you need for a day of exploring the coast.
🌴 Outdoor Living
Step onto your private dock to watch sunrise or cast a line. Launch one of our kayaks for a peaceful paddle, then come back for a shower or a nap in the screened porch lounge. As night falls, listen for frogs, crickets, and the gentle rustle of pines — it’s coastal calm.
