About this property

Indian Pass Fun, Private & Cozy Beach Cottage--The Barnacle

Enjoy your vacation at this fabulous round house in a tree-filled
setting, tastefully decorated, located on the tip of Indian Pass.
Indian Pass is located at the extreme west end of Apalachicola Bay
where it flows into the Gulf of Mexico. This conflux of fresh and
saltwater makes one the most fertile estuarine areas of the world.
While the area was settled by Native Americans for thousands of
years and then again by the early European explorers modern
civilization has conveniently skipped us over.
Long Known as Florida's 'Forgotten Coast' most of the inhabitants
here have fins or feathers. No high rises or motels but miles of
unspoiled beaches, succulent oysters, world class fishing and
spectacular sunsets. Beachcombers are greeted by miles of shells,
fossilized shark teeth and pottery shards from our earliest
inhabitants.
This comfortable two-bedroom, two bath retreat offers lots of
privacy in a natural setting, approx. 150 ft. from the beach. It does not have a view of the beach, but it is on the boardwalk where you will see a beautiful panoramic view of the beach and St. Vincent's. Back at The Barnacle, you have a wrap-around deck with chairs and a very slight view of Indian Lagoon, lots of
wildlife, and great birding. Explore St. Vincent's Island across the
Pass. Bring your kayaks, canoes, fishing poles, binoculars, and camera. Excellent
fishing and crabbing, shelling and long walks on miles of pristine
beach. Private and peaceful.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique is the location and its setting. The beach is a short 30 second walk away, up and over our 30' high heavily vegetated sand dune, on our private boardwalk. When you reach the observation platform, you will find four benches on which you can observe the "goings on" at the beach and St. Vincent's, or just relax and read a book. Take the last flight of stairs to the beach, and you can fish, swim, get a sun tan, or collect shells. The wildlife is abundant for birders, photographers, and other outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy seeing these beautiful creatures in their natural environment.

What makes this property unique

The Barnacle was totally re-done at the end of 2019, making it a very pleasant, cozy, and comfortable place to stay. Being that the house is round, with windows on practically every wall, the outside becomes part of the ambiance inside, and it almost feels as though you are living with the birds and squirrels in the trees.
