Area Information
AREA FEATURES:
As you stroll along the quiet beach, you can find a variety of SEASHELLS to collect or just enjoy watching the DOLPHINS swimming by or EAGLES and OSPREY scouting for prey. Of course, swimming, sunbathing or fishing in the surf are always a favorite, too.
Our neighborhood is extremely quiet and friendly, - a great place for families with children, a couples romantic retreat or for anyone who just wants to get away from it all!
You may want to rent a bike or golf cart and cruise quietly through the streets or on the beach. HORSEBACK RIDING on the beach can also be conveniently arranged. There are also KAYAKS to rent if you would like to paddle to nearby St. Vincents Island.
Dinner is right out your door: you can FISH OR CRAB from the shore. SCALLOPING in nearby St. Joe Bay is also a lot of fun during the summer scallop season. These sweet, tender delicacies can be enjoyed on your vacation or frozen for later when you return home.
In addition, the famous INDIAN PASS RAW BAR is just a mile up the road where you can enjoy the area's delicious oysters, other seafood and a cold drink. Weekends at the Raw Bar often feature outdoor live entertainment and dancing. (It was damaged by Hurricane Michael in Oct 2018, but is planning on reopening late summer 2019.)
Our area is reminiscent of 'Old Florida.' There are no tall condos or hotels anywhere near by! Our BEACHES ARE VERY QUIET AND PRISTINE and, in the off-season, you will rarely encounter anyone as you stroll quietly along the beach!
Our home is located on Indian Pass, just a couple of miles east from Cape San Blas - which has been rated in the top five of the best beaches in the United States. Port St. Joe is only 10 miles to the west where you can stock up on all of the provisions you'll need. If you're not in the mood to cook, there are a number of great, local restaurants and night spots nearby. A golf course is only a few miles away and there are 4 separate boat ramps within 15 miles.
Just 20 minutes to the east is the historic and quaint fishing town of Apalachicola. Here you will find some great shopping as well as many wonderful restaurants and night spots. In addition, you can walk along the boardwalk and see what catch the fishing boats have brought in for the day.

Best vacation spot, AND its pet friendly!
We have come back every year for the past 5 years to enjoy this beautiful place on the coast. The owner has thought of absolutely everything and was so helpful in making sure we were set up and comfortable. Leslie was such a pleasure to work with, you truly feel like you are her number 1 priority during your stay. The house is absolutely breathtaking, from the design elements, bedrooms, to the beautiful view. I cannot recommend this place enough. We will be back again for the upcoming years!

We are so glad that you enjoyed staying at our home. You were awesome guests and appreciate you taking such great care of our home! Although your pups were wonderful guests, due to several bad experiences with some other dogs, we have made the difficult decision to no longer allow any fur babies. We are so sad that we have had to do this and appreciate our guests' understanding.
Perfect!
One of the best places we’ve ever stayed! Anything you could want or need is there. Beautiful house with beautiful views!!! The owner, Leslie, made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Beach House
This place is AMAZING! Leslie (The owner) has literally thought of everything to make your stay perfect. The view from the screened in porch is beautiful, and a short walk down the boardwalk from the back stairs takes you to the most beautiful, quiet beach. Our family of 8 had a wonderful time... we will certainly be back! The home was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and a wonderful destination for our family vacation.

Thank you for being such wonderful guests! We are so glad you all enjoyed this special part of Florida and that our home could be a part of that. We hope you all will come back... SOON!
FABULOUS PROPERTY!!! AMAZING OWNERS-AREA IS INCREDIBLE
The views are amazing. The property and surrounding area are incredible. We stayed for Labor Day week. We had perfect weather, our check out was right before Hurricane Sally was making her way in the gulf. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Leslie has thought of EVERYTHING. Our 5 days there was absolutely too short. We will be seeing this area again soon! Thank you to an amazing owner for us making your home feel like we were home! We hope everyone is safe and no additional damage was done to the area.

Awesome beach house.
Beautiful beach-front home, family and pet-friendly, with wonderful location, away from crowds and hustle and bustle. Enjoyed the screened porch. Kitchen very well equipped, and beach chairs/equip. included.

A perfectly lovely beach house
This house is amazing. The owner has put so much thought into equipping it with high quality things for guests to use and enjoy. We wanted for nothing! For instance, the towels were so fluffy and thick, I noted the label and have bought my own home some of the same. We felt like pampered guests. The screened porch and decks are good places for gathering or for solitude. Being located on the beach was so much fun. It was a pleasurable walk to the waves. The sunrises and sunsets are not to be missed. A short drive and you will find yourself in the quaint town of Port St. Joe with an array of restaurants and shops. In the other direction is Apalachicola, another interesting town not to be missed. This is a pet-friendly facility and our two little doggies enjoyed their own vacay. We can't wait to revisit!
