Fantastic Beach views, Great house & just steps until your feet are in the sand!

257 S. Oak St., Indian Pass, FL

7 NIGHT MINIMUM STAY.......Check in and check out ANY day of the week.

Only one home between our "Pelican Pass" beach house and the Gulf of Mexico. Pelican Pass is close to the water's edge with a wide and convenient county-owned beach access path right at the end of our driveway! A great Gulf view from Pelican Pass!

Watch the pelicans fly over and enjoy the sounds of the waves from Pelican Pass's living room, front bedrooms and decks! Truly a beach gem on Florida's Forgotten Coast! Indian Pass has all the natural beach beauty that Florida can offer without the traffic, crowds, and high density condos.

Spread out with your family throughout the expansive decks of Pelican Pass!

The Indian Pass Public Boat Ramp is located just one mile away with unbelievable fishing! Abundant numbers of fish swim through the pass, (located between Indian Pass and St. Vincent Island National Wildlife Refuge). You can easily get to this beautiful and untouched island via the St. Vincent Island Shuttle Service.

The kitchen, dining, and comfortable living areas are all open to each other and overlook the inviting deck! With four bedrooms in the house, it features a split floor plan with two bedrooms and a bath on each side of the large open living areas. The two south bedrooms offer Gulf views with french doors that open up to the large wrap-around deck!

You'll love the fully stocked kitchen and bar that overlook the living area and deck! Among the beachy & whimsical furnishings, you'll enjoy the art work of renowned Canadian artist David Lacey.

Ceiling fans are located in every room as well as the large, covered porch. Amenities include a hot/cold enclosed outdoor shower with a dressing room and bench, covered fish cleaning sink and counter, generous covered parking under the house for 3 vehicles, an additional hot/cold shower to rinse off at the end of your beach path, and a washer/dryer located in separate laundry room!

The Thomas and Gandy families would love to host your family and friends at Pelican Pass on Indian Pass Beach, Florida! Pelican Pass offers you an incredible value for your money! We’d love for you to be our guest and make Pelican Pass your own special vacation beach home. Create lifelong memories! You'll love coming back to Pelican Pass time and time again!


NOTE:
50% deposit due at booking w/ the final 50% by 30 days prior to arrival.

$200.00 cleaning fee which includes clean linens and bath towels.

Up to a $300 damage option will be automatically charged to your credit card within 7 days of check out if any damage occurs.

7 night minimum stay requirement. Check in and check out ANY day of the week.

Unlike most homes, we do not charge you for your 4-legged children. In exchange, we simply ask that they'd be well behaved & trained, current on flea/tick meds, non-scratchers on doors/windows/furniture, to keep them off the furniture & beds, and that you'd pick up after them in the yard and beach. Due to the fact that your pet is not familiar with his/her surroundings at the house, please bring a kennel in case you plan to leave him/her alone. Maximum of 2 dogs allowed.

*We cater to family groups and cannot accept reservations for vacationing students or house parties. We do not rent to students or to groups under 25, even if one or more parents or legally responsible adults accompany them.

No group gatherings beyond the maximum occupancy allowed, even for a day event.

In the event you need to cancel, we provide a full 100% refund when cancelling 30 days or more in advance of your arrival and 50% refund 14 days through 29 days in advance. There is no refund less than 14 days in advance. Purchasing trip cancellation/interruption insurance "for any reason" is strongly recommended because you never know what unexpected life event could occur, or what storms could develop that would cause you to cancel.

Beautiful, comfortable, relaxing with excellent beach access.

I scheduled annual family vacation with adult children and teenage granddaughters. Fabulous spot without the congestion of crowded beach, short 15 minute drive to grocery store and restaurants, and yet small local market and excellent local restaurant nearby. The amenities of the home were comfortable and similar to home environment. The deck and sunroom was so convenient to enjoy and relax. Highly recommend for relaxing, also fishing and wildlife were enjoyable even for the teenagers!

Relaxing Brean Trip

Probably one of the most relaxing trips we've taken in years. Great house away from the hustle and bustle, great floor plan and only 25 or so yards from the beach! We felt as if we were stating at our family house... Communication before and during trip was excellent!!!

This property is very comfortable and well maintained. Steps up to house were easier than some we’ve had at other houses in the area. Beach was very close — 50 feet from the house. Would love to stay here again!

Mom's 85th birthday getaway.

We had a great relaxing time. Stairs are getting a little too much for mom. She did enjoy the golf cart we rented from port st. Joe patio. It was there when we arrived and had plenty of gas for the week. We were able to show mom alot more of the beach than she normally would see. We road around the neighborhood. Had such a great time. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful house with us and for sending my forgotten shoes back to me.

Wonderful Home for Family Time

We had a wonderful week at Pelican Pass! The home is spotless and has many amenities that made our week fantastic. We enjoyed the location to the beach and the water views. We spent our days on the beach playing in the water, fishing, and lounging. We were often out on the beach until after sunset and back out to see the sunrise. We also enjoyed some yard games in their well manicured yard. The home offered the perfect amount of space for our 4 children that range in age from 23-14.They all agreed this was one of their favorite vacations and have already put in requests to return. The owners were awesome about communicating with us and were very helpful about resources in the area. Thank you for such a great week! We will be back!

Relaxing getaway!

This is our 2nd time at this house & it was amazing again! Our family & pup loved the secluded beach area! We also love how short of a walk it is to the beach & enjoying the views from the porch! Everything you need & more at the house! We also rented a golf cart for the extra convenience & also to enjoy riding around on the beach. Looking forward to coming back again!

Staycation

I wish we could stay here forever! Perfect in every way. Very clean, nicest host I’ve ever encountered, and everything one needs. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Beach gear available on the property and beach towels. Beach is NOT crowded at all! My family and I love Indian Pass and will definitely stay at Pelican Pass again!

Mom's 84th birthday trip

The house was very accommodating. The neighborhood was nice to walk the dog in and the porches were nice for all day leisure. The beach was visible from porch, easily accessible and dog friendy. Beachside stairs were easier for my mom to maneuver.

Fall Break with Family

We had a great time during our stay at Pelican Pass! The house had more than enough space and all the amenities needed. The location is excellent! We rented a golf cart for the week, which was awesome, but the walk to the water is very easy anyway. We would definitely stay here again!
