This was are third stay at this cottage . It's close to the pool and well equipped. The only thing that could make it better is a ceiling fan on the porch. If you love breakfast eat at the San dollar cafe.

Vacation Holiday

The cottage was extremely clean, provided basic necessities. Good to bring own coffee filters, salt, pepper, etc. Mattresses are very comfortable. We could not hear any noise from the pool.

Dated and Broken

We rented this cottage because it had a washer and dryer. When we arrived, the cord was not even attached to the machines. We called multiple times to have someone to come out and fix during our stay. It wasn't until th 4th or 5th phone call that someone finally told us they would not be fixed during our stay. We had to take our vacation time to go to a laundromat rather than enjoying the pool. There were broken chairs and stools, and the master bath shower was covered in mold. The stove knobs were worn off and it was trial and error to figure out high from low. This cottage needs a major updating overhaul.

Great vacation cottage

Wonderful cortège for a week away from home. Quiet and peaceful while still plenty to do. Steps from the pool and never crowded. Several dining options minutes away. Great beaches.

Amazing Cottage -but lots of noise and partying

Cottage was clean, modern, and plenty of space for 3 people. Kitchen had plenty of cookware, utensils and coffee maker is very nice. This cottage faces the community pool, so be aware there will be LOTS of noise. Lots of loud music and unsupervised minors ALL night at the pool all 4 nights of our stay. I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 for this reason. K

Wedding rehearsal dinner

This by far was the most amazing house I have ever stayed at... It was beyond OCD clean, beautiful decor and well laid out floor plan.. We hosted a rehearsal dinner with family and made wonderful memories.. I loved that it was literally 4 steps to the pool.. Thank you so much for sharing this home.. Memories last forever..

Absolutely perfect!

My stay at Barefoot Cottages was perfect from the time I got there and until I left! I came with a couple of friends to relax one last time for the summer and I was amazed. Barefoot Cottages was a nice, quiet and more family oriented location that was very clean and well kept. I loved that the pool was right outside our cottage which was great for cooling down. The beach access was about a 2 minute drive and the beach was not crowded and was very peaceful. We appreciated the calmness of Port St Joe compared to areas like PCB because it was ideal for a relaxing vacation. We had no communication issues and the owner was very kind and helpful when we were communicating. I will definitely be returning to Barefoot Cottages next year and I am recommending it to all my friends and family!!!!

Vacation 2022

This place was fantastic! The only reason for 4 stars is that the mattresses were too uncomfortable and the one in the master bedroom makes noises every time you turn over. We would stay again regardless. Wonderful little community and Port St. Joe was a very nice town to visit. Can't wait to return.

Summer Vacation

We absolutely loved this property. It was spacious and very clean. Barefoot Cottages has a great gated community. The carts were a wonderful idea, we used them several times. Our boys loved that they was a pool right outside the front door.

Another good visit!

We’ve stayed at Barefoot Cottages a few times before, including this specific unit. Overall, still a great trip! Rated 4 stars (wish there was a 4.5!) because of a couple of housekeeping things. First, we found a dishwasher full of dirty dishes…maybe not normally a big deal, but with COVID and being pregnant I’m a little extra paranoid about other people’s germs. We also had a toilet paper holder and towel rack fall apart on us. Both seemed to have had damage before and the mounts weren’t sturdy. *Note, we texted Patrick (local property mgr) about those to be sure he didn’t think we damaged anything and he was super responsive and helpful. Wear and tear is normal, if they’ll get those things fixed this is a 5-star place all the way! Will definitely visit again!

Everything was perfect but…

the kitchen! It could stand to have some updates. A total kitchen haul would be amazing but at least replace all the cooking + eating utensils. Some of it was just gross. Another thing I would suggest is to not put dishes up completely wet. Several plates we took out of cabinet were completely wet and water spilled everywhere. That was just weird. Other than the kitchen it was a very nice place to stay and having the pool so close was a nice bonus!
