The original "Gufenauf" name was for our boat, symbolizing our intentions -to goof off! We learned to do it so well, we extended the name to our house and invite you to enjoy your own goofin' off experience.

This Gulf Front home is located at Indian Pass in the heart of "Florida's Forgotten Coast". Indian Pass is one of the last beaches which still allows driving (with a permit purchased in St. Joe) and fires for wiener-roasts and s'mores. Because of the unique land/water interplay, the sky creates a planetarium affect, producing sunrises, sunsets and night skies that have to be seen to be believed.

Bring your boat, the driveway is accommodating and the public boat ramp leading to some of Florida's best fishing is only 3/4 mile east; but if you don't find our hidden grouper holes, just drive one mile west to the renowned Indian Pass Raw Bar, home to Apalachicola's finest oysters and seafood. Snorkeling and scalloping is available in St. Joe Bay, only a few miles further West. One-quarter mile from the boat ramp lies St. Vincent Island, a 12,358 acre uninhabited national wildlife refuge (a shuttle is available). Also within minutes is St. Joseph Peninsula State Park - A 2500 acre Park voted the top beach in America in 2002 and is constantly in the top 10.

No boat? Book your own diving or fishing charter with one of the many captains or just sit on the balcony, sipping your favorite beverage and watch the shrimp boats passing the "Gufenauf" on their way to deep waters.

Whether it’s fishing, crabbing, diving or metal detecting for the legendary pirates' treasure buried at Money Bayou, we hope you enjoy the magic of "Gufenauf".

The Unique Benefits at this Beach House

We love it here because it's quite, safe, and secluded. We enjoy fishing off of the beach and crabbing with the kids, not to mention, the fresh seafood in the area. Mostly, we enjoy just kicking back, doing nothing, and working on our stress relief. We've had enough of the big city resort vacations.

A
Cape San Blas

This is a beautiful State park. There is a small entry fee, but well worth the money. Voted best beach in the US in 2002.

B
Boat Ramp

This is a public boat ramp and only 3/4 mile from the house.

C
Raw Bar

Great place to eat. Try the snow crab or shrimp.

D
National Wilelife Refuge

This island is 8 miles long and 2 miles wide and completely deserted. They will shuttle you over and pick you up. Great shelling

 

Owner's Map of Indian Pass

Although we live in Central Fl., we have been coming to Indian Pass for the past 30 years. At first we rented in the area and then in 1987 we bought the Gufenauf. To visit Indian Pass is like stepping back in time 50 years. We have been lucky enough to take our kids, grandkids and now our great grandkids to this magical place. It truly is the "Forgotten Coast" and hopefully will remain that way for many years to come.

    • Ralph, First off I want to say thank you for being so awesomely patient with me and my forgetfulness. Second, I would like to let you know that we had an amazing time. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and accomplished our goal of relaxing. We were almost the only family on the beach. We walked it seemed like forever and never met another soul. The sand was so white and clean. On our third day there we saw 5 dolphins swimming only inches away from us. One of the dolphins even came up on the beach and jumped back into the water. My girls were overwhelmed with excitement. I have to say that we have been to the beach many times, but it has never been this relaxing. We sat on the beach for hours at dusk and my girls had so much fun they were sad to go. This was a very memorable vacation. Again, thank you for allowing us to spend the week in your beach house, we made memories that we will never forget. Hopefully, we will be back next year! Thank you! Angel Lee & family.

    • We stayed at the Gufenauf at the end of April 2009, it was great. The beach was very private, we saw 10 people the whole time. The fishing was great and the community where the house was located was very quiet. The Gufenauf had everything we needed and was very nice. We had a wonderful time, we will be back. Thanks Ralph........................ Kevin And Amy

    • Our family had a wonderful time at the GUFENAUF, over the 2009 spring break (March 28 - April 3). The house was well furnished and had everything we needed, and was located just a few steps from the beach. The beach is the best in the world. The Indian Pass Raw Bar just down the road was awesome and a must for lunch or dinner for great sea food and good conversation. There is no better place for fishing from the beach. Our 10 year old son caught more fish than expected. Also a great place for walking the beach finding shells and sand dollars. We often saw the local peacock walking around the neighborhood. Don't forget to visit the nearby town of Port St Joe and Apalachicola and the local state parks. We will definitely be back again.

      Our beach house has only been available for rent for two years as of this posting. We are averging just under 3 rentals per month. That's outstanding. The people who stay here come back. Why? because they love it. It's a cute little house, that's priced right, on a beach that's almost deserted. What's not to like? Did I mention that it's very very quiet with sunsets and stars to die for????
