Direct Beach front-Pet Friendly-Immaculate, 3 Bedroom Oceanfront Paradise
MoonShadow – A Peaceful Gulf-Front Escape on Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Alligator Point is a special kind of Florida — peaceful, uncrowded and refreshingly untouched. There are no towering condos or crowded tourist beaches here. Instead, you’ll find wildlife, birds, dolphins, gorgeous sunsets, star-filled skies and the wonderfully slower pace of Florida’s Forgotten Coast.
MoonShadow is a beautifully furnished, immaculately maintained and recently redecorated 3-bedroom, 2-bath Gulf-front beach home where families, friends — and their furry family members — can relax, reconnect and enjoy the natural beauty of Alligator Point.
Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen with all the pots, pans, dishes and tools you need to prepare everything from a quick breakfast to a wonderful seafood dinner. We provide plenty of bath towels, beach towels and even doggy towels for your four-legged guests.
Every bedroom and the living room feature large flat-screen TVs and our comfortable sunporch provides even more room to spread out on the two sofas, one of which opens up to a queen size comfy bed, and the oversized sofa offers a cozy spot for relaxing or an additional sleeping space.
But at MoonShadow, much of the magic happens outside.
Our spacious upper and lower decks offer plenty of places to sit back and enjoy the Gulf breeze. On the upper deck, gather around the fire table in the evening with a glass of wine and watch the stars come out. The lower deck features a gas BBQ grill, outdoor dining table, comfortable sofa and lounge chairs, along with an outdoor shower and fish-cleaning sink — perfect after a day at the beach or out on the water.
And the beach? It’s just steps away.
Walk down our private walkway and you’re on the beautiful white-sand shoreline of Alligator Point. Swim, sunbathe, search for shells or take a long walk along a beach that you may very well have almost entirely to yourself. Keep an eye on the water — our local dolphins are frequent visitors and have been known to swim alongside you as you stroll down the shore.
Catch your own dinner and grill it on the bbq on the lower deck, dine and relax on the couches or head out and enjoy fresh local seafood at one of the area’s casual coastal restaurants.
Stay for a week. Stay for two.
Forget about the schedules and the everyday worries for a while. Rekindle the romance, reconnect with the kids, laugh with friends, take long walks with the dogs and end your evenings listening to the Gulf beneath a sky full of stars.
Spend some time at MoonShadow and leave a little more relaxed, a little more connected — and wonderfully renewed.

This property was amazing. Super clean and completely stocked with so many extras. Our original booking was cancelled and, frankly, we came out much better. This was the perfect place for our quiet get away. We will be back!
I did not read the reviews of this house when I booked it. I saw it had a 10/10 rating and that was good enough. I have been booking houses on VRBO for nearly 20 years now and I have never stayed in a house this good before. The house was nice, clean and exactly as advertised. But what made it stand out was the thoughtfulness and preparation of the house owners. As a mother, I truly appreciated the "little things" -- things that you forget to bring -- like Qtips, bandaids, sunscreen. All this and more was stocked and ready for us to use. We had to buy very little. A turtle nest was discovered near the house and they contacted us to let us know and provided instructions for the protection of the turtles. Their care and concern for us and wildlife made it a most pleasant stay.
From the time we walked in, it felt like Great location and the neighborhood was very quiet.The fenced in yard was a plus for the dogs. Would highly recommend. We're hoping to return next year.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this property. Perfect for families with pets. The host went above a beyond anything we expected (or have experienced) at other properties. The home is unbelievably well equipped and ready for anything we needed. We’ve never booked the same property twice, but we’re already planning to rebook this property for the upcoming summer!
Our family group of six adults stayed over a holiday weekend. Multiple sitting areas inside and out provided room for togetherness and for solitude. It's ideal fo people who like to cook -- the kitchen had everything! We liked the split floor plan, with the master bedroom at one end of the house and the other bedrooms at the opposite end. The outdoor was just as thoughtfully equipped as the inside, and our host made us feel very welcome.
Our second time visiting this property and still one of our favorites! So relaxing, pet friendly, and with the ocean at our front door - we can’t recommend enough!!
We had a nice relaxing stay at this beautiful house. So quiet and so charming. We stayed a week....but i would love to stay a whole month.I have absolutely no complaints.
Wonderful stay- house was comfortable and had everything we needed and more . Thank you for the staples - it made for a wonderful start! Wildlife was incredible - sharks/ dolphins galore. Fenced yard was great for our Sheltie!
Moon Shadow is gorgeous, clean, very well stocked, and has responsive, caring owners and management. The beach access and views of the Gulf are amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed our week there with our family and doggies, and we highly recommend.
We returned to Moon Shadow following a wonderful visit this past summer. It lived up to our expectations, and was absolutely magical with the empty beaches and unbeatable accommodations. Moon Shadow is the cleanest, most well stocked rental we've ever experienced and we highly recommend.
Highly recommend!! Very well maintained. Very well stocked. Jackie was wonderful. Plenty of everything we needed. Already considering booking again for our next trip
We had the most perfect time. The trip was for my 81st birthday and David couldn’t have chosen better. We even saw baby turtles ! Thanks Jackie and all for all you do for your guests.
The house was beautiful, it had everything you needed and I mean everything. We even had a little welcome package and I thought that was very nice. The only down fall was the weather but we still enjoyed ourselves. I would recommend this property to anyone, it was just beautiful.

Best VRBO we’ve ever booked. And that’s saying something because we’ve stayed in a lot of VRBOs over the years, including two others in Alligator Point, which we absolutely love for the peace and quiet. This home was hands-down the best.Everything from the communication to check-in was smooth and easy. The home was spotless and so thoughtfully put together with the nicest little touches throughout. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked. Honestly, if they didn’t have a kitchen tool, you probably didn’t need it.One thing I especially appreciated was how easy it was to get in and out of the house. If you’ve ever dealt with complicated locks or awkward entry systems at rentals, you know exactly what I mean. This setup was simple and stress-free.We brought our Labrador with us, and I loved not having to constantly worry about him getting off the property. And the rugs on the boardwalk? Absolutely priceless. No hot feet, no splinters, and no hot paws either.Thank you for sharing such a wonderful home. We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay.
They have really thought of everything, from the welcome bottle of wine and eggs to the bar and the well stocked bathrooms. We had everything we could need and more.
The house is amazing and the beach is beautiful. The local parrot, Marley, was a hoot and really confusing to our dogs.
Our only complaint is that the water is not clear, so this beach isn't really good for swimming, though the dogs sure enjoyed it!
I have been using VRBO for 15-plus years and have stayed in many houses, usually twice a year. This beach house is by far the best place for my family! The graciousness and communication with the host is absolutely superior! The location is perfect and right on the beach. The amenities are perfect!
If you love to be in a private and quiet place away from crowds and loud noises, this is the place for you! The house on the beach with a lovely boardwalk right out to the beach! The outdoor area is amazing! We love Alligator Point and will definitely be coming back for years to come!
I’ve looked forward to this trip for about a year. Arriving at the house I was blown away at the attention to detail by the amenities, decor and special touches made to make me and my family feel welcome. We love the area and have come for years. I rent homes several times a year and this one by far has been the best for me and my family so much so we’ve reserved it again for next year.
The home is everything and more in the description. The master features a bathroom that is accommodating to some that might have minor mobility issues with bars in the shower. The downstairs shower was amazing and helped with the number of folks we had it served as an extra shower.
Additionally my family includes our furbabies and we were allowed to have them all with us. The home is so great with a fenced yard for them to play as you hang out in the amazing downstairs outside area!
Lastly the owner is a woman that exemplifies honesty and integrity. I didn’t realize I reserved the house for an extra night (a Sunday) and thought I’d reserved Saturday to Saturday. When she brought it to my attention after letting them know we’d left the home, she immediately said she’d refund me the night. This she did not have to do as it was my mistake but we’d already left and were several hours away. She did refund me and I was so grateful! She is definitely and honest and wonderful host! I’d recommend her and this home to anyone looking for a nice family getaway!
We had a fabulous time! The house is so comfortable--such a large selection of comfortable seating, inside and outside. Plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was so well supplied. I had everything I needed. The hosts are so accommodating and quick to respond.
The place was extremely well stocked actually stock better than most any other place that we’ve ever
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and all the amenities that they had to offer the outdoor shower was fabulous walks on the beach or Fabolous. We definitely plan on coming back.
