About this house rental
One of the original homes in the area, this 1970s gem blends vintage character with thoughtful updates. With over 1,000 sq ft of living space, classic wood-beamed ceilings, and rustic trim, you’ll feel right at home in this welcoming coastal retreat.
The home comfortably sleeps up to six guests with two inviting bedrooms. The primary bedroom features a queen bed, Roku TV, dresser, and its own individually controlled mini-split air conditioner for a restful night's sleep. The second bedroom is perfect for families or groups, offering two twin-over-twin bunk beds that sleeps four, along with a Roku TV, large dresser, and its own mini-split air conditioner to keep everyone comfortable.
The full bathroom includes a tub/shower combination, fresh towels, and everything you need to clean up after a day on the sand or water.
The fully equipped kitchen combines vintage charm with modern convenience. Granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, and a full-size refrigerator, electric range, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, cookware, and utensils make it easy to prepare everything from a quick breakfast before fishing to a family seafood dinner after a day on the Gulf.
Just off the kitchen, the dining room provides a comfortable gathering space where everyone can enjoy meals, play board games, or plan the next day's adventures. Large windows fill the space with natural light, making it a favorite spot to linger over coffee in the morning. A third mini-split air conditioner is located in the dining room, keeping the dining area, kitchen, and adjoining Florida room cool and comfortable year-round.
One of the home's best features is the Florida room—a bright, comfortable space that extends your living area while bringing the outdoors in. Whether you're reading a book, enjoying an afternoon nap, watching TV, or simply relaxing after a day at the beach, it's the perfect place to unwind while still feeling connected to the peaceful surroundings.
The large fenced-in backyard is perfect for both relaxation and play, giving kids and dogs plenty of room to roam safely. There's ample parking on the property and the public boat ramp is a mere 3-minute drive away, making the home an ideal jumping off point for fishing Florida’s Forgotten Coast.
If you love to fish or explore off the beaten path, Indian Pass Lagoon is a must. Known as “The Pass,” this unique area is celebrated for its outstanding fishing, lagoon oysters, and incredible variety of wildlife. At the tip of the peninsula, Apalachicola Bay flows into the Gulf, creating a rare meeting of fresh and saltwater that makes it one of the most fertile estuarine areas in the world. Whether you bring a flat-bottom boat or a kayak, the Lagoon is a true eco-adventure, with waters that can go as low as six inches and an abundance of opportunities to reel in your next big catch.
The laid-back community of Indian Pass is free of high-rises and condos, offering a quiet, unspoiled stretch of coastline perfect for swimming, wildlife watching, and surf fishing. It’s a place where beach cruisers, golf carts, and long strolls set the pace of life. With a Gulf County permit, you can even drive your car or golf cart right on the sand—and beach bonfires are allowed. Dogs are welcome at the property and on the beach, so your four-legged family members can enjoy the Gulf breeze and sandy shores right alongside you.
Enjoy a truly relaxed, pet-friendly beach lifestyle with some of the best fishing on the Gulf—just steps from the shore.
