Summary: We have stayed in the area before but we have never stayed on Indian pass until this trip. We highly recommend this home if you are looking for a peaceful quiet non-crowded beach house. Loved everything about this home. We recommend renting a golf cart! We had so much fun driving it around on the beach. House was equipped for anything and everything you would need for a fun week at the beach.

Summary: Sweet Shell-Ter was a perfect getaway. The house is gorgeous! The beach was great and not crowded at all. If you are looking for a low-key beach vacation away from crowds, this is it!!! I would/will definitely stay again. Contact with Sheila and Steve was easy and they were super quick to respond. If you stay here I highly recommend trying Uptown Raw Bar, and if you want some good ice cream hit up the Sugar Shack. I can go on and on, but this house and the surrounding area was spot on and exactly what I was looking for and then some.

Summary: Wow!!! This immaculate home is gorgeous, the beach is beautiful, and Sheila & Steve are amazing hosts! We have been vacationing in this area for years and this home exceeded all expectations. No detail has been missed from the abundance of amenities to the exquisite decor. The views are stunning from both floors and the boardwalk makes the short walk to the sand effortless. We are already looking at dates for our next adventure. Thank you for a memorable vacation!

Summary: We have visited several locations along the Panhandle: From Ft Morgan to Port St Joe. This beach house was by far the cleanest, best decorated, best supplied, most equipped and most functional that we have stayed in 15 years. The owners were very communicative prior to our stay, providing tons of information, and clear instructions for our stay/check-in/out. The location is as described, and pictures are accurate and still don't do it justice. This place is a gem! When you arrive, you have your own driveway (standard), and have an elevator waiting for you as you enter the location. You can load all your luggage and kitchenware. This was SO useful. All of the bedrooms are on the 2nd floor, and the best shower ever made in the Master. I can't tell you enough about this shower! The screened in porch on the 2nd floor provides shelter from rain, bugs...whatever. While the patio on the 3rd, is open for breathtaking views of the beach. Laundry machines available. They even provided starter supplies like toilet paper, laundry detergent, dish soap, and dishwasher detergent. The vacuum got a lot of use to keep up with the sand that tracks in regardless of how well you wash off. And the third floor living space is just so well planned out. The island was spacious, kitchen FULLY stocked, and a great sized TV. The outdoor shower for beach return was private, and there is plenty of spaces to sit outside. Kayaks were awesome! Wooded path to beach so helpful. And I ran out of space!

Summary: This house has everything you need and more! It was so well equipped not to mention absolutely beautiful. We spent most of our time on the upper deck where there was plenty of comfortable seating for all of us to hang out together. The beach is perfect and not crowded at all! It was a wonderful week.
