Spring Break Alternative

This place fits our style very well which is slow-paced and outdoor-based. We fished, hiked, bird-watched, walked the public beach and just relaxed. If you are interested in the typical Spring Break scene, then this is not your place.

70th birthday getaway

Fishing trip in Big Bend region. Wanted something back to nature anchored by some charter fishing for a big birthday. Great place to decompress from South Florida. We were there soon after Helene, but things were pretty normal. Joe was extremely communicative and informative.

Lovely Stay

The house was exactly as advertised and a great deal for such an amazing view and stay. We spent the majority of our time out on the pier but when you come inside to relax and refuel it was great. The property owner was always a text away and quick to respond. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Wonderful place!

If you like the outdoors, and being secluded this is the place! Very nice house and a very fun place to stay. If you like to fish I myself caught 4 slot reds, a massive probably 45” red, and quite a few trout and a triple tail off the dock! Me and my wife enjoyed the place and Joe is a grate host if you have any kind of problem at all he’s on it immediately! I will be back shortly!!

Restful, Comfortable, Peaceful, and Beautiful

Redfish Cottage is the ideal getaway any time of the year, but especially over the holidays. The cottage is comfortable and quiet. The pier is the perfect site for birdwatching, coffee drinking, paddleboarding, canoeing. We love the convenient location and look forward to our next trip.

Redfish Cottage

We had a great time. Even caught a redfish off the dock. Saw rays, blue crab, alligators, bears and an allbino squirrell. My only issue was the standing water in the back yard that you had to walk through to get to the dock. Maybe it was due to the storm that passed a few days before, but if it is permanent, I would suggest putting something there to make it easier to go to the great dock. Thank you for everything!

Nice Setting

Nice quiet setting near natural areas like parks and forests. Nice view and access to the bay. If you like shopping, art galleries, night life, fine dining and so forth, this probably is not the place for you. If you like nature and the outdoors, this is a good place. We like the latter so great fit for us.

Perfect spot for relaxing!

Redfish Cottage is a great spot to unwind. The cottage was very well appointed and comfortable. The view from the cottage is beautiful and sunsets on the dock spectacular. A short drive away are several beautiful beaches and a fishing pier. There is a nice Tiki bar on Alligator Point and several nice seafood houses within a short distance. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the perfect place.

Great little cabin!

We've stayed here multiple times and love all the new updates made since our last visit. The host is great at communicating and we appreciate his attention to detail. (Thanks, Joe!!) He also allows dogs which is a definite plus for us. If you're visiting Alligator Point, this is the place to stay!

Perfect Getaway--Feels Like Home

My husband and I have been coming to Alligator Point and staying at Redfish Cottage for over a decade. Each time we drive down Alligator Point Dr, it feels like we're coming home. Redfish is the perfect size, it's bright and cheery, and the pier is the best place for sunsets, birdwatching, fishing, SUP'ing, and just hanging out to relax. I got home last night and can't wait to go back.
