House was wonderful. Beautiful view of the marshes and back bay area. Super quiet and peaceful. Great location for getting to Indian Pass Raw bar, Cape San Blas and Port St. Joe.

Quiet , Clean place to stay

Great, quiet location with a nice view overlooking Indian Pass lagoon and just down the road from Indian Pass Raw Bar. The property is well staged and well maintained but would benefit from a bit more substance over style and greater attention to detail. Disappointed to discover there was no hot water on our early day of departure, but overall we enjoyed a 2 wk+ stay.

My grandchildren were so entertained with the tether all, archery, horseshoes and, of course, the otters in the creek right beside the property! I loved the view of the lagoon and the beds were so comfortable. The kitchen was very welll stocked.

Only good things to say :-) Our family absolutely loved this rental and hated to leave. The open concept family/kitchen area made it easy to socialize while cooking. The back deck had a beautiful view of the bay, and the back yard was very spacious with enough area to play games, cookout, and hang out by the fire pit. I also enjoyed that the property was not right next to another house and was not a duplex. The grocery store/restaurants were not far at all (10-15 mins) and a general store was right down the road (5 mins). Public beach access was 15-20 mins away and the beach is gorgeous. We wish we would have stayed longer and would love to stay again!

This property was exactly as the pictures portrayed. Very clean with board games and things for young children. Our teens played tether ball and darts. I loved the fact that the internet and cell service was spotty it forced us to lay down the electronics and be present with each other. Loved it best vacation ever

Lovely home with all you need for a wonderful, relaxing getaway. Great screened porch with a fabulous view of the marsh and Indian Pass.

Our two-family pandemic "bubble" stayed here for almost a week- the first time we've been anywhere in a year. Otter Cove had everything we'd hoped for. A beautiful setting, all the creature comforts, plus a great balance between accessibility to beaches, town, and hikes on the one hand and charming seclusion on the other. We cooked (every single meal for a week!), we played games, we read books on the lovely screened deck, we had a bonfire in the yard, we listened to all the amazing sounds of wildlife, we watched countless birds, we shot hoops in the driveway, we went for runs, we took outdoor showers, we went fishing, we played tennis in town, we Netflixed a bit. We had a much-needed- and perfectly accommodated- escape from our "normal" reality. Staff were helpful, friendly, and responsive to our various requests for information and assistance. Thank you so much to Otter Cove and to the management company.

The house was very clean and well maintained. It is a good size for a family or couples trip. The view of the lagoon was beautiful and peaceful.

Perfect place for two friends to relax and recharge while making trips to the beach, with plenty of room for us each to have our own comfortable space & room to hang out. Loved napping in the twin bed under the upstairs window with blue sky & breezes above me & redwing blackbirds calling. The place had everything we needed & checking in and out was easy. I came home from vacation feeling reenergized and rested rather than worn out. We very much enjoyed the deck & the swing. Would love to have a deck up high with no screen to enjoy the beautiful view.

Otter Cove was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy nature. We saw dolphins, an alligator and an amazing array of bird species all from the comfort of the huge screened porch.

The beds were very comfortable.

Secluded home overlooking marshland. Enjoyed an evening outside with a fire. Lots of wood provided. Very clean with very comfortable beds. Twenty minute drives to Port St Joe and Apalachicola. Thirty minute drive to St George Island. Prior to arriving I asked management a question about whether the coffee maker was a Kuerig and was told it was not. However, it turned out to be a Kuerig and the can of coffee brought could not be used. The two remotes for the TV were difficult to use. Directions on how to use them would be helpful.

Wonderful rental! Everything you could need & more!

We live in the north end of the county, but wanted to stay at Indian Pass, to be near Presnell's boat landing and the beach, as we have beach driving permits. Since we were boating everyday, staying right on the beach was not a priority. This house is awesome!! If your boat is not too large, you can pull right under the house everyday and wash it off. We stayed for two weeks and scalloped everyday. Equally close to Port St. Joe and Apalach. This house has everything you could need except food and toiletries. It's beautifully decorated and right on the lagoon. Everyday we came back, washed the boat up, sat under the house and shucked our scallops. Hope to stay again next year!!

We were in town for a wedding and this was the perfect place for our group. We spent much time on the porch overlooking the picturesque view and we even saw otters swimming down at the cove. Beds are very comfortable and house was tastefully furnished and spacious. The kitchen and home in general had every appliance you could need. We would suggest that a few perishable supplies provided for out of towners only starting a few days would be appreciated, such as dish soap/dishwasher pellets and additional rolls of t.p.. Also, more kitchen towels as we only had one. Not enough to do the dishes! We would recommend this property for all interested in a relaxing vacation!

The property and location were beautiful. Got to watch sunrises in the back yard from the ground or the elevated, screened in porch. We could also watch herons and egrets and other wildlife throughout the day. Clear skies and little to no light pollution offered up amazing starry nights. Are shopping and food were wonderful. We kayakked into the gulf, and out to St Vincent Island. Wonderful. Only negative was the mosquitoes.

We had a amazing time during our stay at Otter Cove. We loved everything about it. The house, the decor, the yard, and the amazing view. The location was absolutely perfect. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your paradise, we hope to return soon.

The house was very clean and well appointed. It would be nice to have a few spices in the cabinets and a roll of paper towels. I would recommend this place and plan on staying again.

Pristine properties personnel were extremely professional and responsive to our needs. They communicated well both through email and text as well as phone. This property we Met all of our needs sleeping for seven people in our family and our two dogs.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Otter Cove house. House was clean,decorated well, and had everything you might need. Enjoyed coffee in the morning on the screened in porch. Gave up beach front for the privacy this year. Front driveway gates can be shut for complete privacy. Cape palms park on the Cape (about 15min.)is probably the cleanest beach access with parking and bathrooms from the house. We also grilled out one night on a nice kettle grill that was not listed in the amenities. Biting flies did show up a couple of days we were there,so be prepared. The neighbors dog is bound to show up,but he is friendly! Enjoyed the stay!

Everything was perfect. The screened in porch was great for relaxing outside, the rooms were very comfortable, many extras provided. Had wonderful time at st Joseph state park for beach-going and fishing.

Great experience, great people!

Couldn't ask for a better location right in the middle of Apalachicola Port St. Joe and Cape San Blas but out in the country far enough to be peaceful . I was at home as soon as I got there.

This was great place for quiet R and R. Very enjoyable and relaxing
