We really like Barefoot Cottages

Minor issues were resolved with quick response. The area is within easy reach of downtown PSJ, Windmark, and the beaches. Cottage was clean and worked very well for our needs. Enjoyed TV time in the living room and the beds and bathrooms were A+. Would certainly stay here again.

Summer Vacation 2024

We enjoyed our stay at the Barefoot Community. It was the perfect location for our family, and we enjoyed our drive to Cape San Blas to hit the beach as well as the local shops and restaurants in Port St Joe. The community was quiet with a very relaxed, laid back atmosphere. The only complaint we had was the keypad at the gate - everytime we had to punch in the code to enter the gate, we got shocked ⚡️by the metal on the edge of the keypad. Definitely recommend having the community maintenance team check that out. Other than the gate keypad, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Overall Good Place to Stay

House was super nice and beds were extremely comfortable. Only negatives I have were no paper towels or extra trash bags. Other than that, wonderful place. Would definitely stay again!

We had a great time but I feel like the description was a little misleading. I thought we would be able to walk to the Bay Area.

April Visit to Port St Joe

We were pleased with our stay. The house was great and the location was perfect. We do have a few suggestions to make the experience a bit better such as providing more wash cloths, provide at least two garbage bags for a week’s stay, get a dish strainer (it’ll make better for your renters and the owners), and provide hand towels for the 1st floor bathroom. Thanks!
