Coastal Home w/ Screened Porch & Shared Hot Tub - Snowbirds Welcome

Barefoot Cottages #C56

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This Port St. Joe vacation rental offers resort-like amenities such as a hot tub, a fitness room, playgrounds, and 18-acres of nature trails.

As one of the modern-yet-cozy Barefoot Cottages, this house is one mile from Windmark Beach for sugary sands, fabulous views, and shops and restaurants. Take day trips to Panama City Beach or Destin, and return home to your private getaway.

The bright and airy interior affords many relaxing days and nights. Enjoy your morning o.j. on the screened-in porch, then take it indoors to the hardwood floors and soft couches of the living room with cable TV and a DVD player for movie nights.

The tiled breakfast bar and six-seat dining table are great places to share meals made in the well-equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher. This three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home sleeps nine, with king beds offered in two of the bedrooms, and two twin beds in the third. Other amenities include a washer/dryer and WiFi.

Days in Port St. Joe are laid back, and provide the opportunity for fishing trips in salt or fresh water, scalloping expeditions in season, and beachcombing opportunities daily. There is a local Tiki bar for evening cocktails, and a nearby raw bar serves up fresh oysters and local bands. Take some time to go snorkeling at St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, to see the lighthouse at Cape San Blas, or to rent jet skis or go parasailing at Mexico Beach. If you prefer to keep things close to home, revel in the hot tub at the cottage community, go for a nature walk on the 18 acres of greenways, then grill up some fresh fish at the grilling station while the kids play on the playground.

Book your next Forbidden Coast vacation at this Barefoot Cottage getaway!

Great House But A Little Unclear Details

The house was great and very clean, however it wasn't very clear what items would be available. I appreciate that most of the check- in process was automated, however the communication was a little unclear. As other reviewers have mentioned, I can't help but feel if I actually required anything, that I wouldn't receive adequate service. Overall, it was a very good stay, but I feel like some details could be explicitly spelled out in the listing details or in the automated email correspondence.

Great Cottage community

We love Barefoot Cottages! C54 is tastefully decorated and accurately represented online. Would like to note the outside light over the entry way is out, I emailed prior to our arrival asking this to be addressed since there are snakes in the area. We saw snakes during our visit. Three harmless black snakes and one pigmy rattlesnake. So please watch your step! Only other remark is the upstairs of the cottage doesn’t cool. The temp of bedrooms (Upstairs) were too warm during our five night stay.

Dog problems

This is not the place for people without dogs. I rented a property that doesn’t allow pets, but owners allowed their dogs to poop and hike their legs everywhere including walkways, even directly in front of our screened porch where we were trying to relax. The worst was dogs pooping and urinating right by the community grills where we were cooking. Two dogs without leashes ran up to my small grandson growling. My husband picked him up and yelled at the dogs to get them to leave. There are no signs with restrictions for pets.

Barefoot Bliss

The property was amazing and clean and the location was ideal for taking in the sights and sounds of this cute little beach town, not to mention how close it is to the beach itself! Very clean and well furnished with amenities everyone looks for! I’ll certainly use Vacasa and Barefoot Cottages again!

Great stay !

We love barefoot cottages we come about twice a year . The house was very clean and had everything we needed . Location of the house was great it’s in a quiet spot but still very close to the large pool . Everyone there is very friendly . Short drive to town . The only issue we had was the base board of the king room was broken , but thankfully my husband is handy and fixed it . But management was made known of it and will be fixing it that I’m aware of . We also have a 21ft boat that we park there and they have a washing station which is great ! We love the fishing here and the islands we get to anchor at its absolutely beautiful !

Slightly disappointed!

The house has all of the possibilities of a great vacation spot, however, very dissappointed in the cleanliness as their was hair (someone else's) on the bathroom floor, coffee table, kitchen sink and master bed. Mildew on the shower curtain & the fact that the shower drain was stopped up as well was bothersome. After travelling and having dinner plans, no one wants to clean house. The fact that I am a realtor & had guests that had businesses, we really need wi-fi and phone service of which there was really neither and it was promised. Loved Barefoot Cottages, but would rent another unit next time. We were having a 'surprise' birthday bash and I actually was embarrassed and apologetic about the cleanliness, as it was unacceptable for sure! Not sure I should even be giving 3 stars however, probably not the owner's fault as much as it was housekeeping or whomever they have clean their unit.

Great for family

Nice community and house. Clean inside and out, kids loved the pool and hot tub, and the beach was really close. Beach access points are just a mile or two away - east or west - but I'd recommend Port St. Joe Peninsula State Park (about a 20 min drive) for the PERFECT beach for families with kids. They have bathrooms! $6 per car to get in the park all day. Overall, a quiet and family friendly complex. The basics were provided - a few detergent pods for washer and dishwasher, paper towel roll, sponges, bar soap, etc. BRING TRASH BAGS though! Showers and tubs worked fine (sometimes the shower heads can be terrible, but these were great!), comfy beds, stocked kitchen... The small town feel was a respite from the typical spring break vacation! A couple of cons, though: - no blankets/throws to use in the house - seating for a maximum of 6 people in the living room (sofa, loveseat, chair) - no vacuum (we could have used one a few times for kid messes) - TVs upstairs and down confusing, and dvd player really hard to figure out - dirty coffee maker

Cozy Cottage

Barefoot Cottages is a quaint development in the quiet town of Port St. Joe. The cottages are cute as is the development. It seems to be full of many retirees, so if you are a "loud" group, this is not the place for you. They have a nice pool area and hot tub. There are many public beach accesses. The fun old port town Apalachiocola is about a twenty minute drive with great restaurants and live music at The Bowery. This unit shows a little wear and tear but we would definitely go back! We love the area. It feels like 1950's Florida...for the past thirty years we have vacationed on 30A so this was a nice quiet change.
