Great 34th Anniversary

The unit we stated in was very nice and well maintained. However pool and hot tub (not working) maintenance was lacking. We own an inground pool and the water is chrystal clear with no debris.

Fantastic- just as advertised

The location was perfect. Each day we went to Mexico Beach and parked at the honor walk park. You can find it on google! The townhouse has everything you need and is extremely clean. The pool access is right outside the door. Even though you are next to a busy road you’d never know it, super quiet and easy to relax. Be sure to bring your own beach chairs and toys! We will certainly return again!

This is our 4th time at Barefoot. We love it, cozy, quiet, comfortable, and near perfect. All the units we have stayed in are set up very similar. We stayed in #21 this past week. Very relaxing and clean. Property Owner was responsive to our inquires. I liked that it was privately owned also. Personal touch.
