Jack's Gulls

This is our 4th year staying at Jack’s Gulls, and we will be back next year! The beach is just across the street, and fishing is right in the backyard. My husband and children spent many hours on the dock catching a variety of fish. The house is well equipped for anything you need. Enough bedrooms and space for everyone to relax. We love this home and hope it’s available to rent for many years, it feels like a part of our family. Pat, the host is just so wonderful, he’s always available if there’s any issues and also called me personally when we stayed during a hurricane one year. If you’re looking for a beautiful home to have the most relaxing vacation, this is it. Just don’t tell everyone about our forgotten coast getaway

Growing up, my family has come to Indian Pass 10+ years and stayed in 5 different houses. A few years ago, my grandpa got sick, and we haven’t been back. This year, we got a wild hair and booked our trip. We initially booked this home due to the dock for fishing, but we have not stopped raving about the location, the cleanliness, the accessibility for children AND elderly, the beach access, and so much more. We are so grateful to be making new memories and will be back to our yearly trips and staying in this house again.

We had the most amazing family vacation at Jack’s Gull. Our group consisted of 3 adults, and 4 children aged from infant to 4 years old. Not only is the house amazing, it’s spacious, and the location is wonderful. We had no problem getting to the beach with all 4 kids in tow. Plus, we fished right in the backyard in the lagoon. With the proximity to the beach, we didn’t have to haul a bunch of stuff, if we needed or wanted something, it was just a 5 minute walk back to the house. We had plans to see the area and eat dinner out a few times, but the kitchen is so well equipped, that we cooked every meal at the house. The gas range was a dream to cook on. At night after the kids were in bed, the adults enjoyed time on the front porch, which faces the ocean, listening to the waves crash, and watching the shrimp boats. We are already planning our next family vacation to Jack’s Gull. The property manager Pat was great as well, prompt with communication, and very friendly overall.

Jack’s Gull’s was the perfect stay for our family, ranging in age from 8 to 73.

No need to pack the car to go to beach!! Beds have very comfy mattresses and cleanliness was wonderful. Kitchen nicely stocked, crab traps ready to go on the dock, fish cleaning station!

We enjoyed sunrise kayaking followed by coffee on the front porch overlooking the gulf beach. The beach access, and view, couldn't be better. We haul down a golf cart, so it was nice to be able to use it to carry our beach gear. Drawbacks... We love long talks at the table after dinner, so some slightly more comfortable dining chairs would not go amiss. We also could not get the porch fans to work.

The quiet beach was awesome, and felt as though it belonged to us. Our stay was the first week of August and we didn't encounter more than a dozen people the entire week. Since the home is in such a rustic sitting, eating out took a little travel time (20 min,); but was worth it. Found good food at both San Cape Blas and in Port St, Joe. If your looking for a quiet retreat, and a place to get away from the business of life, this is it.

We had an almost perfect stay at Jack's Gulls. Vacationing with my son's family which included 2 thirteen year olds and a toddler, there were 7 of us total. We were able to put the baby in a back bedroom with his parents across the hall. The owners found a place where we could rent a crib which worked out beautifully. The 2 teens had it made with a sitting room and bathroom to themselves upstairs. The home was just as advertised. We had needlessly worried about the home's condition after reading a review just prior to our stay. We had no plumbing problems. The ice maker was noisy but no big deal. The house was obviously well thought out when it was built and was beautifully furnished. The bay in back was perfect for the kayaks we rented from Dalys Dock, which I highly recommend. Fishing proved to be a disappointment. Only catfish were caught with the exception of a lone red fish found feasting on crab in the trap. While fishing from the dock one night we did observe a rather large shark, circling and feeding for quite a while. Maybe he ate all the fish. Ha! A trip to St Vincent proved to be just as bad. We had hoped to do a little hiking there but the mosquitos were too bad to do so. We did however find some good shells. The last day was spent on a fishing charter which did produce a couple triple tail and red fish. Dinner was wonderful that night! The mosquitos seemed to have gotten worse towards the end of the week, something that couldn't be helped. As someone who loves to cook, I found the kitchen very well equipped. The pantry was large enough to visibly store a week's worth of food. Most meals were grilled at the house but we also enjoyed local fare. Beach was easily accessible, just a short walk across the street. Surf was too rough for the little one but the teens enjoyed the waves. Perfect though for relaxing, walking, sunning, shelling. This is not the place to go if you want to be entertained and to party. That was the main reason we chose Indian Pass. Our time was mainly spent enjoying precious time with kids and grandkids. Especially liked sitting on the front porch late at night, feeling the ocean breeze and marveling at the star studded night sky. Ideal for letting cares of hectic lives slip away if only for a short time. Sorry to leave. Highly recommend for those who are seeking relaxing vacation with family or friends Hope to return someday, maybe a different time of year for better fishing and hiking.

LARGE ROOMS WITH THEIR OWN BATHROOMS AND HUGE SHOWERS, LARGE KITCHEN WITH 2 ICE MAKERS AND CUTTING BLOCK, 2 BIG DINING ROOM TABLES, A WALK IN PANTRY WITH TONS OF SHELVING, SEPARATE LAUNDRY ROOM WITH SHELVES, GREAT INTERNET AND CABLE TV, A DOCK TO CATCH FISH AND CRAB, OUTSIDE SHOWER WITH HOT WATER, ENCLOSED FISH CLEANING STATION(NO BUGS), A GRILL AND FISH COOKER, AND A WONDERFUL AND CARING OWNER(CALLED TO CHECK ON US WHEN A TROPICAL STORM HIT THE AREA) I ALMOST WANT TO JUST KEEP THIS HOUSE MY OWN LITTLE SECRET! BUT I HAVE TO RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE STAYING AT INDIAN PASS. THANKS, THE SMITH FAMILY.

We caught crabs using the traps provided and the grandkids loved going to check them every few hours. We all had a lot of fun and we thank Mr. Thompson for sharing this retreat. We also encountered a box turtle, named it Georgie", every morning crossing the driveway to catch bugs and a raccoon at night to see if we left any snacks it could steal. This was our first time staying at Jack's Gulls, Indian Pass and Port St. Joe, they are lovely places and hope we will can return again next year.

We had 2 families staying a week and we had plenty of room for all 9 of us. The kitchen is bigger than it appears online and there' is a walk in pantry that is perfect for storing a week's supply of food and drink. The kitchen is well stocked for families like us, that cook real food. Loved the screen porches! The lagoon was ok for fishing but we found better action at the beach standing about knee deep and casting out Lots of wildlife in the ocean and hardly anyone was on the beach with us. Was a perfect week of weather too! Nice set up for fish cleaning as well as rinsing off sand! This is a great place for you if your goal is to fish, tan, or just relax. We will be back!

The owners are very accommodating and always there to answer any questions we had. It is steps away from the beach in the front and a fantastic dock for fishing in the back! It has all the room you will need and all the amenities you would want! Trust me, by booking this you can't go wrong!! Oh and it's just down the road from the cute restaurant/bar!! Jack's Gull has is all!! Thanks again!!!

Jack's Gulls is a fabulous place to vacation. The house has everything you need to be luxuorously comfortable. We caught fish off the dock and at all the other great locations nearby, then prepared awesome meals in the well appointed kitchen. For a group of retired guys, the house was easy to access. No, stairs to climb just to get inside. Afternoon porch time was hard to beat as well. I would highly recommend this place and hope to do it again. The owner, Pat, has his place fixed up just how he wants and we enjoyed his efforts. Cheers. JB LaGrange GA

This is a beautiful open and spacious house! Everything you need plus more! Very long private dock with a bench at the end. Tons of blue crabs to catch off the dock for your little one to catch. It is a shallow area, but we had a blast! We brought our paddle boards and paddled to the end of the lagoon with 7+ dolphins. They love to play w/you on the boards. Plus the fishing is great! We caught tons! The outside is weathered like a normal beach house, but when you open the doors you'll be amazed by the beauty inside! By far the best house we've stayed at and it was our 6th year going! Thank you for our great vacation!!!!!

We love Jacks Gulls and always try to stay here when we go to Indian Pass. This is a beautiful home with great views, porches,nice dock and very well equipted kitchen. It is always a pleasure to stay with friends here. The bedrooms are all large with their own spacious baths. Two have their own porch. No fighting over who gets the master here because all of the bedrooms are like a master. When we stay at Jacks Gulls, feels like we are staying at a friends place not a beach rental. Everything is well thought out for your comforts. Thick towels,nice sheets,great mattress,good knives and pots and pans...these are things most places lack but not here. This is a peaceful place to sit on a screened porch with nature everywhere and listen to the waves while reading a book. The fishing is great and crabbing also. I would recommend this beach house for all ages. It will be a vacation that you will always remember.

We never stay the same place twice but this was our second summer renting this house. The pictures don't do it justice. The house is newer and in excellant shape. I love the kitchen! Fully stocked with great appliances, flatware, cookware, etc. You won't need to bring anything other than food to this house. The house is comforatble for large groups. Our group ranges from teenagers to seniors and everyone finds something to do. My husband especially loves the fishing dock and "boat/fish house". Plenty of room and open floor plan. We were there for the turtles hatching this summer. Great live music just down the street. You can't go wrong with this house. Thanks Pat for another great summer vacation!

This was the perfect place for our family! We are all about privacy @ the beach, and this fit the bill perfectly. Everything we enjoy doing was right @ our fingertips -- so much so that my husband never even left the house! The house is so much larger than the pictures depict. Even seeing it in person, you would never believe it is so large inside! We loved that each bedroom had its own private bath. The kitchen lacked nothing -- very nice appliances, utensils, and dishes; no junk. The outside screened fish-cleaning/frying area was Number One! The beach view and access is perfect; no wading through tons of condos or people. The screened-in porches were my favorite (perfect for reading my books)! We did not want to leave, and we definitely want to return!

The owner is great. The beach is pristine and beautiful. Small town feel makes you want to live like Jimmy Buffett, close enough to Panama City and Apalachicola for grocery shopping...would recommend to anyone and everyone.

This property was more than I imagined as the pictures do not do it justice. Not only is the house significantly bigger than I imagined, it was also spotless and completely modern. The kitchen was the best appointed I had ever seen, and the bathrooms and bedrooms were spacious, and completely comfortable. Even though our weather wasn't the best, relaxing at the house, playing board games and heading down the road for oysters every night made for a perfect vacation. Next year we hope to stay for 2 weeks. Thanks Pat for a wonderful time, MJ Atlanta
