About this property

"Back to the Beach" is a quaint bungalow style cottage with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Located in one of the last "old Florida" neighborhoods It is just 200 steps to the beach.

The neighborhood of Indian Pass has no high rises or condos. It is a place to enjoy beautiful beaches swimming, wildlife, surf fishing and relaxing. Bicycles, golf carts and long walks are the norm. Riding on the beach in your car or golf cart is allowed with a permit from gulf county offices located in Port St.Joe. A public boat ramp is l mile from the house. An outdoor shower, fish cleaning station and gas grill make beach life simple. The sunset at the beach is always beautiful

The house is one level with no steps. It sleeps 8-12 comfortably. The master bedroom contains a king size bed. Two other bedrooms each have a queen size bed. The living room has a sleeper sofa and a back room houses the washer and dryer, a trundle bed and a single sleeper chair. Linens and towels are provided.

We met at a beach and married over fifty years ago and have returned to the beach because we love it so much. Hence the name, "Back To The Beach"

Old time Florida

Big house with lots of room. Well stocked, even spices available. Only negative is water is extremely rusty, be sure to bring plenty of bottled water.

No more beach

We have stayed at Fred's place countless times and have made amazing memories but the beach that is 200 steps away is currently completely eroded. It is gone. We rented a golf cart to carry our beach gear down and the beach between S Palm and S Seminole was impassable/not driveable during our stay. Water was all the way up to the dunes. The walking access was unsafe off S Palm to the beach. Like jumping off a 5-6' sand cliff. Some families set up directly on the dunes which will only cause more erosion and cause less protection to the homes in the area. So, we had to load up our beach gear every single day and drive to a public beach at the Cape. The house itself was fine. Same as always. But the lack of beach access left what he hoped would be a relaxing trip for these parents exhausted with 5 in our group leaving early. We stayed here in September and the beach was fine. But, it is gone for now and I have no idea when it will return. The water is so high that I don't understand how adding sand could help. We love this community but I feel other people are entitled to know what to expect so I am sharing our experience. I'd love to know when it is fixed. I could not find anything in the local news or social media that discussed the condition of the beach at Indian Pass. I would have certainly made other plans.
