  We were pleased with our stay at the Güfenauf. This area is very quiet and the beaches are peaceful. We love to fish so it was nice to be close to the boat ramp and beach access. The house was very clean and well equipt. The owner is a great man, we were able to meet him and chat for a little while. Will definitely like to visit again. Also my husband loved the Oysters at the raw bar. He said he will have to eat there again! I'm not a sea food fan so I had the BBQ - it was very good too.

  We had a great time, did exactly what we came to do........absolutely nothing. My husband & son took a fishing charter out for the day and caught their limit of spotted sea trout ( still haven't eaten them all yet ). When we weren't shelling along the beaches, we went sight seeing. Had a great time at Indian Pass Raw Bar, loved the atmosphere and the food. Would definately consider coming back to the Gufenauf at Indian Pass.

  We had a fantastic week at Gufenauf! We had everything we needed, and more, at the house. And we had the best weather we could have imagined in late October. 83 degree days, sunny and bright! And clear nights where the stars looked as if they were in 3-D. The walk to the beach was only a minute or two away and we could hear the waves all night with the window cracked. So peaceful! We plan to return next year.

  Stayed a week in the quiet and peaceful world of Gufenauf. Home was clean and comfortable, plenty of room in cabinets and large fridge. Indian Pass is pet friendly, and our dog really enjoyed his first beach visit. We kept him in a crate while we were gone, but long runs on the beach helped keep him and us in good shape! I"ll be back next year, for sure ;-)

  Just finished up a week at Gufenauf at IP. Couldn't have gone any better. Real nice accommodations for three to four folks. About 100 yards from the an infrequently visited part of the beach and in a very quite neighborhood (that, as a bonus, is real close to the Raw Bar if you like oysters). Just loved the respite from normal "life". The owner is a very nice guy to deal with too. Will definitely visit again.

  Well we just got home this morning and we feel like we left part of us at Gufenauf.... This was a long overdue vaction for our family and it was greater than we could ever imagine. We are in our mid 30's and we have 4 kids 12, 9, 7, & 4 are there ages. Any reserves or concerns of not knowing what to expect of the area, house, or beach went right out the window. This place is so great. We went to the beaches on cape at the st joes penisula state park and found to many people, a ton of sea weed, and our way back to our own private beach. Port st joe or Apalachicola are about a 20 min drive and you find shops, groceries, resteraunts, oysters, shrimp. At our beach (haha... look there I'm refering to it as ours) our beach is so special, the sand bar out a ways provides so many spectacular things. Fishing, the Dolphins we watched working together to get there catch of fish. even one night the Dolphin was swimming in the wave 10 ft off shore, thought it was going to beach itself it was so close. Every night the six of us walked the shore until we couldnt see anything more and then we relaxed. The shells we found here were so fun and plentiful. There was plenty of varieties of shells and we spent alot of time looking and collecting. Everything you could want is right here. The Fishing guides are within a mile and more reasonable compared to port st joe marina. The Indian Pass Raw Bar is a must at least once while your here. The Oysters and stuffed shrimp are AMAZING. We tried several places while we were on vacation traveling and locally and this was The BEST.. We wished we would have saved our money and spent it all at the Raw Bar it was that good and Right there close to Gufenauf. Last of all the house. Thanks for letting us in and be a part of your home. Gufenauf is a Blessed place. my wife and I have never been at such peace. everything we needed was there. The owner called and made sure we made it and everthing was ok. He answered all the questions quickly when we inquired. The house is clean and maintained. Thanks Again. Reviews are what sold us so I hope it does the same. I hope this place stays the Forgotten coast because thats whats so special. This is what a vacation should be and we are already planning the dates of our next of many years of visits to come.

  This was my 4th time at Gufenauf and THIS was the best vacation I've ever had (keep in mind I just returned from the Key's) and here's why: I cought my first fish, I got to ride a horse on the beach at sunset, I got to see a 36" wide sea turtle laying her eggs in the moonlight then crawl into the ocean, my family caught a 5 - 6 ft gator (yes, I said a gator as the brackish water meets the salt water right there), a 4 ft hammerhead shark, a small blue shark, a small black tip shark, big sting rays, tripple tail fish, cat fish, sail fish and probably 3 - 4 more that I can't remember. The weather was hot but no rain (except for 1 1/2 hrs). The beach was almost empty and the stars were beautiful. The only thing I would strongly suggest is that you bring everything you might possibly need as the store is 30 to 45 minutes away and some things are more expensive than you might pay at home. Unless you get bad weather, you won't be disapointed with Gufenauf.

  My wife and I were long overdue for a vacation and wanted to just get away and do nothing and have fun doing just that......it's all at the Gufenauf!!!...........Don't pass up the raw bar and of course the St. Joe's Beach down in San Blas is ten miles long, just in case you want to go for a real long walk. We had a wonderful time but we ran out of goof off time!!! Hats off to Ralph and his great little get-away! Great stay!!! Patrick & Diane.

  My wife and I recently got back from the Gufenauf in beautiful Indian Pass, FL and we are already counting down the days until next year! The house was clean, well maintained, and Ralph even called a couple of times to check and make sure we had everything we needed. All of the amenities at home are provided at the house and the beach is only about 50 yards away. The loft atop the Gufenauf is the best feature - I recommend opening up the windows to feel the breeze and listen to the ocean while reading a book (and sipping your favorite cold beverage). The beach was phenomenal and felt private. Most of the time we could look in both directions and there was not a soul around. We saw dolphins swimming close to the shore, herons that would come within twenty feet, and the best shelling I've ever seen. The Indian Pass Raw Bar right up the road is a perfect spot to eat and hang out - I also recommend Boss Oyster in nearby Apalachicola. I definitely recommend the Gufenauf for anyone who wants an affordable, relaxing, and carefree vacation without the stress and hassle of a crowded beach. We can't wait to visit again next year!

  Our stay at the Gufenauf and Indian Pass, was one of the best vacations I have ever had. There were five of us and not one of us wanted to leave the house or the Island....ever!!! This is the most perfect vacation spot for anyone looking for beauty and serenity, this place has it all. The Gufenauf house has everything you need and more. Ralph, thank you so much for sharing your house with us, and being so accomodating to us through the booking process and many questions we had. You have the perfect gettaway. Thanks for everything :)
