Very clean property, great location (right on the inter-coastal and across the street from the beach), great pool, & host was very kind and responsive.
Indian Shores is the perfect beach vacation, Barefoot Beach resort is beautiful and a great location. Easy beach access. Our rental was clean and well maintained, host was easy to communicate with.
Absolutely wonderful property, all new and modern, very clean and comfortable with everything you need for your stay. Just across the road from the beach too. Would love to return!

Loved the property, pool, and easy access to the beach! Everything was exactly as described and very clean. Favorite restaurants were Sea Breeze and Sloppy Joes on the beach. The cute coffee shop was an easy walk and great breakfast spot each morning.

Gulf beach just across the street and the Inter-coastal is just feet away from your door. Nice place with a comfortable bed. The furniture could be updated but still a comfortable place! A nice touch is the owner checked in on me once we got there it ask if everything was ok.

About the host
Hosted by Catherine Cornell Dunn, Ron Dunn, Kris Kasmarcik
We're Gulf Beach lovers & St Pete was home to Ron for over 20 years. He's now retired & I am an accountant. We live in the Orlando area but consider Barefoot Beach our home away from home. We stayed at this resort for several years as guests before purchasing our condo & have always had great experiences there. You'll love it, I promise!
Why they chose this property
We own one of the few 1st floor units with a private patio that is literally steps away from the inter coastal. It's a great location, quiet & clean, while still close to all of the nightlife & tourist attractions the area has to offer. It's also convenient to grocery stores, bait shops, etc.
What makes this property unique
*Private patio, less than 50 feet from the inter-coastal waterway/docks *Private beach access to the beautiful Gulf (5 minute walk) *Resort-style heated pool
