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.

Amazing stay at the barnacle!
I’ll start by saying Janis and victor are incredible hosts! Very responsive and kind. Their home is the perfect spot if you’re looking for a relaxing secluded beach vacay with your pups! Beach access is very secluded and accessible. The home itself is very clean and well stocked. We look forward to returning next summer ❤️

The Barnacle
Janis and Victor are great hosts, they answered all questions right away( we asked very few). The house is very cute, practically round, lots of windows sarrounded by palms trees and lot of green. Everything was spotless and the best silverware and appliances. We enjoyed very much finding the golf car on the beach especially for sunset. If you rent it, I suggest you rent it.
