Perfect vacation spot for relaxing!!

The cottage and the owners were very accommodating. Before arriving they emailed us local restaurants and activities in the area for us to research ahead of time. When we arrived the cottage was extremely clean, well stocked with the things we needed for the week, and adorable. If we stay in port st joe again this will the first place we check for availability.

Great 34th Anniversary

The unit we stated in was very nice and well maintained. However pool and hot tub (not working) maintenance was lacking. We own an inground pool and the water is chrystal clear with no debris.

The cottage was spacious, spotless, well-equipped, and well maintained. Great kitchen setup. Enjoyed the hot tub, poolside, and the short walk to serene Windmark beach. Comfy bed and breezy scteened porch. Very user-friendly. Extensive welcome book with information about the area.

Fantastic- just as advertised

The location was perfect. Each day we went to Mexico Beach and parked at the honor walk park. You can find it on google! The townhouse has everything you need and is extremely clean. The pool access is right outside the door. Even though you are next to a busy road you’d never know it, super quiet and easy to relax. Be sure to bring your own beach chairs and toys! We will certainly return again!

Enjoyable

This is our 4th time at Barefoot. We love it, cozy, quiet, comfortable, and near perfect. All the units we have stayed in are set up very similar. We stayed in #21 this past week. Very relaxing and clean. Property Owner was responsive to our inquires. I liked that it was privately owned also. Personal touch.

The Forgotten Coast Vacation

If your desire is to escape to get some peaceful R&R, this home is for you. This nicely decorated home is conveniently located in a small, quaint community with the community pool at your front door. A lovely beach, which offers restrooms, walking paths, and sunsets, is just a very short ride up the road. From Port St. Joe, State Parks and other beach locations to explore are an easy drive away. My husband and I look forward to returning again to this home when we need to escape the business of life.

Nice location

The location of the property was very convenient. The decor was up to date, and very pleasing. The negative, was the master bedroom, bed and pillows. The bed was very uncomfortable and creaky, the pillows old and too soft. More bath towels would have been helpful. There was no soap in the half bath.
