Gulf-Front on Indian Pass | Private Beach, Boat Access & Epic Views
Welcome to your very own slice of paradise at Turtely Awesome, where the beauty of the Florida coastline invites you to unwind, relax, and make unforgettable memories! Nestled directly on the sparkling sands of Indian Pass, this stunning beachfront house boasts breathtaking views of St. Vincent Island and 448 feet of lush depth and 63 feet of pristine beach frontage.
Wake up each morning to the soft sounds of the waves lapping at your door and breathe in the fresh ocean air. This place is not just a vacation home; it’s a fisherman’s dream come true! With unrestricted boat parking right on the property and the Indian Pass boat launch just a leisurely stroll away (less than 100 yards!), you’ll be casting your line in no time. If you are traveling with electric vehicles, the property also features an on-site electric car charger, making it easy to keep your vehicle ready for adventure.
As you step outside, you’re greeted by the warm embrace of the sun and the inviting sands less than 25 yards away. The beaches here are pet-friendly, so don’t forget to bring along your furry friend (just remember the leash!). Wander along miles of stunning coastline, try your hand at shelling, or launch your canoe for an adventure on the gentle waters. You’ll encounter a vibrant array of wildlife, from majestic eagles soaring overhead to playful marine life gliding through the pass.
Grab your favorite drink and soak up the sun on one of two Gulf-facing decks, ideal for birdwatching or simply enjoying your slice of paradise. The upper deck is particularly special — perfect for private sunbathing, it offers spectacular views of the Pass, the Gulf, and the protected wildlife preserve of Saint Vincent Island. Once the sun dips below the horizon, get ready for stargazing that will leave you breathless — the night sky here is simply magical.
Inside, the layout embraces comfort and functionality. The main floor features a spacious king bedroom with an attached bath, perfect for restful nights. Upstairs, two additional guest rooms await, each with their own water views of either the serene Lagoon or the lively Pass. Here’s the cozy setup awaiting you:

We loved this property! Cleanliness was 10/10 and the view is stunning. I loved the decor and furniture was well placed and comfortable. My only suggestions would be to provide beach towels and maybe one more tv in the house would be nice. We would stay again.

Had a great time! Clean, spacious, cooked several meals in a good kitchen
Great house and location! We were very appreciative of it being dog friendly and would stay here again in a heartbeat. We had a minor issue upon check-in and the hosts were very responsive and had it fixed quickly.

Cleanliness of home. But when you first walk in you get jaw dropping tired of the sun, beach, pass and St Vincent Island. It doesn’t get much better than this. The home was very comfortable. Am planning another stay here.

We loved everything about this property. It was very clean and neat with beautiful views of St Vincent WMA and the ocean. We were thrilled with the dolphins and an eagle who visited every day. The kitchen was fully equipped and well planned with anything we could need. We highly recommend this property and will definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for staying with us! Please keep us in mind for future travels, we would absolutely love to welcome you back again!
We were very pleased with our stay at Turtely Awesome! It was immaculate and still looked, felt, and smelled brand new. Waking up each morning to the ocean waves is something we'll miss!For the location, we felt it was still close enough to restaurants, a general store, etc., and perfect for solitude away from the beach's crowds. It was wonderful to be able to bring our dog (her first time!) and have the beach so close, as well as amenities like an outdoor shower, gates on the patio exits, etc. We also loved how many different seating/lounge options there were on both patio levels.Our only complaint was that it is situated close to an RV park, plus a boat ramp and on-beach driving entrance, so it could seem busy sometimes with everyone entering/exiting past you on foot and in cars and golf carts. One morning, we were awoken at 7am with fishermen right outside our window who stayed most of the day, directly in front of the house's boardwalk so we had to go down some from the home for beach seating. I could see this potentially being an issue for some during a holiday when it is busier.Overall, we would highly recommend Turtley Awesome. We even looked at booking for the same time next year, but it seems there's a 7-nt min now unfortunately!
I had to put 4 stars for the accuracy of the description because I truly feel you are underselling the property. The picture of the access of the beach looks really far away, but in reality you literally just walk down two sets of stairs and you are stepping onto the beach. The description of the 2nd king bedroom should really say king suite. It is large with a beautiful private bathroom. The location of the property is fantastic. Very private, but also the few people we did see were all so very nice. Just a few houses down is a docking area where you can charter a boat to get to the island, or even charter it to go fishing. We did both and the fact that they were so convenient and close to the property made us feel very safe and comfortable. This was our son’s senior year spring break, how many kids can say they caught a hammerhead and a manta ray? We, him, and his buddies made memories that will last a lifetime.
We had a great week. The house was wonderful and perfect for what we needed.

Thank you for the kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the clean and beautiful space, especially the view from the upstairs balcony. Hope to host you again soon!
VERY clean & quiet location.Communicating with the management team was easy.Just don't go out at night if you don't want to get eaten alive by mosquitoes. We really wanted to talk on the beach at night time but no matter how much bug spray we used, nothing worked. Other than that, you want some private family time, this is a good place.
This home is beautifully renovated and was meticulously clean! The view of Saint Vincent Island was simply stunning! The sunrises over the bay were enjoyed from the private upper balcony. The palms and pines surrounding the property made you feel like you were on your own island! I hope our family has a chance to stay here again!

We really enjoyed the property. The place is secluded and peaceful, with great water views. There's a private deck to the water. The fishing was enjoyable, the cleaning station was a plus. The kitchen was well stocked. I loved the cookware. For the bedrooms, the upstairs deck was amazing, perfect for relaxing and reading. The children’s room was very cool. There were plenty of great touches ,unfortunately the bed downstairs was not very comfortable. The bathrooms have nice attributes, but not well stocked with towels and what we had were small and thin. Overall everything was nicely decorated and well kept with some great features. The host was very quick to communicate and we had no issues. Awesome Stay!
