Great family place!

We like staying at a beautiful place that is somewhat distant from neighbors and private. This was the perfect place for us! We don’t want to hush the grandchildren while laughing and playing pool. Whether entertaining adult relatives fishing or grandchildren playing in the pool or boating to the beaches this place was great for that. The owners are very gracious hosts that made sure we felt at home during our stay. This house was everything that we expected and more. It is definitely our #1 VRBO place.

Perfect location and super clean

Beautiful property!

The home is beautiful and sits on a huge lot that is perfect for entertaining inside and outside! We were greeted by manatees at the dock and the best hosts we’ve ever dealt with! They truly care about their guests having the best vacation experience possible. We can’t wait to stay again next year!

Amazing Stay!

The Barrancas Barnacle was perfect. We went to Bokeelia for a family boating staycation. The property easily accommodated our family of 5 plus 2 additional adults in the 2nd master suite. Location for boating is great; the boat ramp is down the street and there was plenty of room to park truck and trailer. It was a short boat ride to Cayo Costa State Park and local waterfront restaurants including Cabbage Key. The house is fully stocked with everything you need. Beautiful property, super clean and very comfortable. Will definitely visit again!

Fun in sun

House was perfectly put together and everything was top notch. The yard is absolutely huge and amazing. Parking for anything you wanted to bring. Super boater friendly, very quiet, nice place to chill, and or do whatever you want to.

beautiful getaway

We really loved our stay at the Barrancas Barnacle. It easily fit our family of 6 plus children and there was not one thing we could think of that the host left out. The home was meticulous and spacious with plenty of room for all of our vehicles. The living room was such a comfortable hang out place for our large family and the furniture was all so comfortable. We would definitely stay here again! We ended up leaving a significant amount of cash behind and the owners were so sweet to retrieve it for us and send us a check. We look forward to our next trip to Bokeelia!

Great property & best hosts ever!

We had a great week at The Barnacle in late March 2024 with our 4 adult kids. Megan and Glen are probably the best hosts we've had using VRBO over the past 10 years. They truly want their guests to have an awesome stay at their lovely home and go out of their way to make that happen. The house must be newly remodeled as all the furnishings and appliances are brand new and of great quality. The entire house is well-appointed and every room has everything you need to enjoy your stay from the bedrooms to the laundry, even the pool area has special little touches. The property is very large and private and in a fantastic location - right on the canal for boats and launching the kayaks and SUPs which we used every day to explore the back bays of Jug Creek. Two marinas are within walking distance from the house and afford very easy boat rentals and charter fishing. The Bokeelia area is laid back but has ample restaurants and quiet streets for walking/biking. We look forward to coming back! Can't say enough good things about Megan and Glen and their fantastic property!
