Birthday Beach Retreat at the Barefoot Cottages!!!

We brought our daughter and a few of her friends for a beach retreat for her 13th birthday. The house was great, the neighborhood and amenities were great, and the areas was beautiful! The Vacasa team was prompt and helpful during our stay and everything was smooth and easy!

This cottage was so nice and roomy for the 6 we had staying. There was even more room for others. Such a nice location that isn’t overly crowded.

Nice little cottage.

The cottage is tucked away in the back right corner of the property. There is a small pool across the circular parking lot. The bay/beach is a short walk away, with more beaches without the cape a short walk/bike/drive. A wonderful place. This is our third trip to Barefoot Cottages, and we have loved it every time.

Peaceful Getaway

The community was very friendly. Unit was excellent and as described. The hot tub was further away than expected, but we enjoyed the walk. Close to the beach and to downtown Port St Joe. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. Would definitely book the unit again.

Beautiful right around the corner!

Barefoot Cottage was perfect for our group of 4! My husband and I had a room and bathroom downstairs to ourselves and my daughter and her friend had the whole upstairs. Everything was clean and in good working! 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms was very nice too! Beautiful beaches right across the street. We traveled around from Mexico Beach, Windmark Cape San Blas, and St George Island all not very far from the property! Several great places to eat. The property is quiet and well maintained! We will definitely stay again in future visits.

Dishwasher condition was terrible and stunk. Did not use it and hand washed dishes. It should be swapped out with new one. Bathroom door drags across vinyl plank floor and is damaging the floor. House is surrounded by swamp water and terrible mosquitos.

Thanksgiving trip

Loved the house. Only problem was that I feel the house might have sat a little while between cleaning. A bit musty inside when we got there. But I opened up the windows to air out and it was fine. But the dryer wouldn’t stay on. So I had to go somewhere else to wash and dry our clothes. But other than those things it was a great house to stay at with my family! I would definitely rent it again in the future!

Not close enough

The house was nice, roomy,& cozy . Pretty clean ( except under the furniture ) however it’s not close to the public beach access at all. About a mile and a 1/2 away from it, and hopefully you don’t mind neighbors cause the houses are EXTREMELY close.

Roomy, comfortable home in quiet subdivision

The home was spacious and comfortable, with two screened porches. It wasn’t as close to a sandy beach as I had assumed from the map - you definitely have to drive to go anywhere. Still, it had all the amenities we wanted and we enjoyed our stay.

Attention to detail

Pillows were outdated and flat, comforter was outdated and stained, screen door needed adjustment because it close and open properly, dishwasher didn’t wash properly and missing cookware. Internet had to be reset.
