Otter Cove History:
Meticulously selected by the owners, each room has specific, sentimental pieces that have been incorporated to preserve the memory of their loved one who sought refuge at his peaceful haven. The family is honored to open up this sacred ground; allowing others to create lasting memories while finding their own sense of serenity.

The real staple of the home was once the water wheel house. Every churn of the wheel displayed a true labor of love, as it was creatively built from scratch in 2014 by a very beloved father and papaw. Sadly, Hurricane Micheal swept it away in October 2018; however, the young grandson of its founder has plans to rebuild in the near future.

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.

Great house!!
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!!

Relaxation station!
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!
