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 July 2005, there 
are only six 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.
