Sunny Daze at Indian Pass in Port St Joe

Sunny Daze at Indian Pass

New (2003) two bedroom, one and one-half bath home in a gated
community very near the Indian Pass Raw Bar and the Turtle Beach
Inn. The house sits on approximately three-quarters of an acre
on the second tier (third row from the beach) and overlooks a large
marsh area to the rear. There is a big screened-in back porch facing
the marsh, and both bedrooms have excellent views over the marsh and
a small canal. The community has a pool directly on the beach. The
home is approximately 12 miles southeast of Port St. Joe, just off
Hwy 30A, and 18 miles west of Apalachicola. As of October 2009, there
are only seven homes completed in this development of about thirty
lots. The beach and pool are about a three minute walk on oyster
shell paths.

Legend has it that pirates buried a casket of gold in the creek that
empties into the gulf about a half mile from the house. One visitor
to the area reportedly found a gold doubloon near the mouth of the
creek a few years ago. Whether the story is true or not, it is
likely to keep the kids busy for hours.

DIRECTIONS
Drive east from Port St. Joe on Hwy 98. About 2 miles out of town,
turn right onto Hwy 30A. Proceed 6.7 miles on Hwy 30A. At this
point, Hwy 30E turns off to the right and goes to Cape San Blas. DO
NOT turn onto 30E, but continue straight on Hwy 30 for 2.7 miles
until you reach the Indian Pass Raw Bar on your left. Turn right
onto 30B directly opposite the raw bar; this road goes to the ferry
to St. Vincent Island. About 200 yards after the turn off, you
will cross a small canal. Just past the canal, turn right onto
Painted Pony Rd, a small, shell road. There is a sign for the
Turtle Beach Inn. Proceed straight on Painted Pony until you reach
a gate; key in the gate code (the key pad is on the left, just
before the driveway to the Turtle Beach Inn), pass thru the gate,
and the house will be about 100 yards on your right at 157 Painted
Pony Road.

King-sized bed in the master bedroom, two twin beds in the second
