5 stars Susan’s house is wonderful. Super clean and comfortable. More than enough kitchen and household supplies. The house is also well set up for youngsters and pets if needed. We didn’t use the pool but it is larger than most others we saw. Short walk to beach in quiet area of the island. We’ll definitely book here again.
Stayed here before and we love it! It has everything you need! Clean well stocked kitchen and just perfect! Our dogs love. Have friends and family at St. George so when there is a lot of us we book this place! It’s perfect
Lovely property- really clean and perfectly decorated for the beach. Easy walk or golf cart ride to the beach. The owner has really thought of your every need!
Great clean house. Just a short walk around the block to public beach access. The house is perfect for kids with the fenced in playground and pool area. Our family enjoyed it.
This property was perfect for our family. It was clean, cute and a short walk to the beach. The pool was great. We decided to pay the extra to heat it and we’re glad we did. It was a cool, windy week. We’ve already decided to book here again next year!
Property was clean, well maintained, and just as described on the VRBO site. Communication with the owner was very prompt and helpful. We would stay here again.
Beautiful property! Very clean. They had it stocked with everything you can think of. The pool was wonderful. It was still chilly outside so the extra cost for the pool to be heated was well worth it! We will definitely stay here again!
Host was so thoughtful!
She cared as much for our furry friends as she did the people. I love to cook, and usually need to bring specific utensils to do so at rental houses. Not this time! She has everything. Everyone had a great time!
Thank you Susan
We had a wonderful time on our Spring Break. The house was clean and very well stocked. The location was perfect, a very short walk to the beach. We also enjoyed the pool, fire pit and the swing under the deck. We will be a repeat customer!
This is a great, well-appointed house. They’ve thought of everything and considered the needs of everyone who might be a guest. We originally intended to bring our dog, but decided against it. Rest assured, the house is cleaned and maintained in such a way that you would never know dogs have been guests. The pool is large, and the house is mere steps from the very nice, uncrowded beach. Highly recommended!
The beach house was amazing. Very clean and had everything you needed. I have stayed in many places before but this was definitely one of my favorites. Just wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks for sharing you beautiful beach house
We had a wonderful time at the Barefoot Retreat! The home was very clean and beautifully decorated. We loved the proximity to the beach, the pool, dog area, fire pit and lovely porch. We paid for the pool heat and it was perfect even with evening temps in the 60s. Kenny and Susan were responsive and helpful in every way. It was a wonderful week of relaxation with our kids and dogs!
The best of the best on this island.
Property and house are very cozy and clean. Pool area very nice, pool pretty big and clean. Everyone was happy.
Looking forward to rent for next year.

Why they chose this property
We came to SGI for a family vacation in June of 2017. We were looking for a pet friendly beach so we could bring Annie and Oakley our Brittany spaniels. Funny story it was our 35th wedding anniversary and my husband forgot. So i teased him all week about giving me a beach house. It was one of the best family vacations I can remember. We all fell in love with the island and fortunately we were able to purchase a lot and build the beach house we have always dreamed of. We were scheduled to close the day Michael hit. Some very nervous hours but we were blessed and had no damage. Well built house! Thank you David Duncan! We have already made wonderful memories here and look forward to many years of enjoying our house with family and friend. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
We are located 2nd tier but have a very nice beach view, a short walk to the beach and a two block walk to the bay where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets. The bike path is at our driveway and leads into town. Walk or ride a bike to nearby restaurants or visit lighthouse park. Bring your dog and let them enjoy a day on the beach with you. Well behaved dogs are welcome at most restaurants and bars on SGI and in nearby Apalachicola.
