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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
