Eagle's Rest

About this home

Indian Pass is not just a destination in the northern panhandle of Florida; it’s a way of life. Just ask some of the locals or the many visitors who make this small coastal town tucked between Cape San Blas and Apalachicola their exclusive vacation spot. In no time, you’ll discover it’s a whole vibe. Unique from most Florida beaches, you will not find go-cart tracks or putt-putt golf courses; no airbrush T-shirt shops or swanky dining options with large crowds and a dress code. What makes Indian Pass special is the uncrowded, wildly natural beach and the laid-back atmosphere that embraces you like a warm breeze. You must try the Indian Pass Raw Bar, a local seafood restaurant serving fresh oysters caught daily and shucked right at the bar with coolers of beer, wine and soda served on the honor system. Outdoor and water activities are endless, and there is something for everyone in the family to enjoy. Indian Pass is best known for its fishing, but it’s also a fantastic place to go crabbing, shelling, or bird-watching. Wildlife abounds. Take a ferry from the boat ramp to St. Vincent Island for a chance to spot an endangered species like a loggerhead turtle, gopher tortoise, or even a red wolf. On most days, it's common to witness an eagle soaring overhead with its daily catch in tow, or a pod of dolphins putting on a show. Eagle’s Rest gets its name from the knobby trees outside the loft’s window, where eagles are perched, resting on top. This cool, stylish beach rental is a vacation dream, including a private fenced backyard with a fire pit, enclosed outdoor shower, smoker, and even a treehouse. When dinnertime is the best time, you’ll appreciate the custom-built diner-style dining table on the main level just off the kitchen, where you can mix food, conversation, and a great TV show. Just beyond the dining area is a covered gulf view deck. On the top floor is a small living area loft with a queen futon, a large TV, an Xbox, and a collection of games. *
