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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 private bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - 13 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Absolutely no smoking is allowed in the Barnacle. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Boat - Golf - Kayak - Optional golf privileges - Pickleball - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Unit size: 1,050 square feet - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Aerial view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116010000/116004400/116004319/2891923e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cape Cottages by Panhandle Getaways Port St. Joe - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 5 reviews CA $186 CA $774 total includes taxes & fees Apr 2 - Apr 3 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-02&endDate=2026-04-03&selected=116004319&PinnedHotelID=116004319&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House, Multiple Beds (Casita Azul) | Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118390000/118384000/118383986/cd76bfa0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casita Azul Port St. Joe - Parking included - Tennis court - Living/Dining area 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=118383986&PinnedHotelID=118383986&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House, Ocean View | Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112360000/112356300/112356292/8f429072.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach House - Maple Leaf Relief by PHG Port St. Joe - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=112356292&PinnedHotelID=112356292&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House, Multiple Beds (Pelican Bend) | Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69730000/69722900/69722878/3739b139.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pelican Bend Port St. Joe - Pet friendly - Parking included - Tennis court - Living/Dining area [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=69722878&PinnedHotelID=69722878&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage (1 Bedroom) | Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115320000/115318500/115318473/37aa1df1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach & Dock Access: Lanark Village Escape!

We just finished a week long stay on Indian Pass Beach in the Barnacle and it was an excellent trip. We’ve rented homes on Indian Pass for the last 7 years and of the different homes we’ve rented, the Barnacle is one of our absolute favorites. The home itself was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The property owners were wonderful and quick to respond to any questions we had. Overall, our stay at the Barnacle was a wonderful and calming experience and I will certainly be renting it again in the future. ##### Caleb Seth B.

May 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Barnacle The house is very nice and has everything you need. The bed was so comfortable! I came with my sister, mom and aunt. I rented a golf cart to get to the beach which is a must as the stairs to the beach are horrible especially for older people. The beach was awesome with no people there and I found huge shells which made me really happy. I liked being on the end of the island as it was quite - we were there Easter week and it was perfect weather with a perfect place to stay. Janis was very helpful and very nice. I hope I can come back sometime in the future! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6db94f8a-28e2-4617-ad7c-3e526dbc2706-1746665004826.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3c278ac6-d201-419f-9912-bd278724f229-1746665004500.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4b985668-6246-4e33-a628-8e6af901bd19-1746665003721.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/41e82544-bfb7-4c6b-a923-71660d6b9330-1746665004460.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Missy H.

Enjoyed the trees around the house and watching the birds, lizards and squirrels in the bird bath. I might suggest renting a golf cart if you have a lot of items to carry to the beach. It would be challenging to navigate the stairs from the house to the beach if you had chairs, cooler, fishing poles, umbrella etc. The convenience of loading into a cart and driving vs struggling was wonderful. ##### Roanna W.

One possible issue...stairs climbing over the dunes. Solution...rent the club cart! Lifesaver!!!!! Would do it again! ##### Stephanie T.

Pros: Well stocked. Washer dryer. Hose very near to clean up sand. Comfortable and cool. Cons: Lots of steps to beach. No privacy with walls not going to the ceiling. ##### Dave F.

Come here, walk the beach, collect some shells, cast a line, enjoy the sunrises and sunsets, read that novel, or wrire it, eat some of the best oysters you'll ever get, revel in the unspoiled beauty. Simply relax, unwind and rediscover all that is good about quiet places with not so many people. ##### Kevin C. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Penny S.

Difficult to get to the beach because of multiple steps up and down. We rented the owners golf cart which was a life saver until the storm washed out the beach entrabce. entrance to the beach ##### Penny S.

While you can't see the Gulf, you are only a sand dune away. It was perfect for my wife dog and me. A great place to be on the beach. Please read the description carefully because there are a lot of stairs to navigate for the property and beach. That was not an issue for us. The owners were much nicer to speak with than the signage inside the house would reflect. It really is a hang at the beach place. ##### Tim E.

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. ##### Guido V.

Highly recommend the golf cart- great for going to the beach. House is very well stocked - we cooked most nights. Janis and Victor are wonderful- so easy to get in touch with them and had great recommendations in the area. I forgot some clothes and they were so sweet and mailed them to me. Highly recommend a stay at the Barnacle! Loved it. Carol B. ##### Carol B. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clint R.

This one was pretty awesome, my wife has always wanted to stay in a round house! Clean, and perfect for my wife and big puppy. Made it easy for parking and the golf cart made it easy to carry chairs and fishing tackle to the beach. Nice path to the beach from the house for dog walks, and the front porch had a nice view of the lagoon and you can even see the oyster farms! Owners are wonderful and very easy to deal with. Thanks for letting us stay at your beautiful house. ##### Clint R. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valerie D.

The Barnacle is charming and unique. Well appointed with everything you might need. We appreciate the fact that we could bring our dog along. We always bring our own blankets to cover furniture but this place also provided coverings as needed. The beach is just a short boardwalk away and we enjoyed lots of walks on the beach as well as viewing some beautiful sunsets. One evening we spotted a heron on the top of one tree and an eagle on the top of the next tree. Definitely plenty of wildlife to be viewed! If you are looking for a place to unwind and relax then check this place out. Also, the hosts were just a text away if anything was needed :-) ##### Valerie D.
