We had a great stay
We had a great time on our vacation. We loved the home and more importantly our kids had a great time. I would suggest the owner replacing the carpet up stairs it is horrible and has an dirty smell to it and the king mattress being replaced. Other than that we truly enjoyed our time there.

Great stay!
We loved our stay! House looks just as pictured on the site. Easy to communicate with property manager. Overall the property was well kept, just appeared to need a bit more cleaning from the crew. (Ex- floors needed mopping, a few dead bugs in the windows) overall though we had a great time & loved the house!!

Unit needs help
After it was cleaned (check in at 4 and unit had not been cleaned until 6 pm) we enjoyed the stay. Close to pool and restaurants. Repairs are needed in the unit as floor in living room was lifting and soft. Faucet in master bedroom was leaking and screen door was ready to fall off snd holes in screen

Don't Rent This
Beds are awful, a board under the king mattress even! Furniture is old and very uncomfortable. Carpets upstairs are old and filthy!! I'll bet the owners never even stay in this place! Keep looking!

Nice Place
We enjoyed our stay and it was relaxing. The rental definitely needs some fixing up like paint and the floors upstairs creaked a lot. (Which made me nervous). The only problem we had was we didn’t get any parking passes. I was told there was some on the counter and when I called into the 1-800 # I was told the property manager would leave us some…. Which we never did receive.

We loved the house was right by the pool and an easy drive to where ever we wanted to go. We were very frustrated with the lack of cable (we were down when they weren't sure if hurricane Ian was about to hit) which we called about multiple times and didn't get resolved at all. The house is VERY sparsely furnished as far as kitchen utensils. There was ONE dish towel, no pot holders or bowls larger than cereal bowls. The master bedroom is on the highway 98 side and you can hear the traffic. We have rented from Vacasa previously and as long as there's no problems you will have a great stay. We love Barefoot Cottages because it's quiet

Good vacation, but some concerns
Great location. Loved the pool area/community and close to both Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe. The rental company was responsive with all of our concerns, but much of our issues were out of their immediate control. This particular home is in need of updating. The carpet upstairs needs to be replaced immediately, very worn and quite frankly very dirty. The beds/mattresses, bedding, and couch are not comfortable. Old and worn. These items need attention and updating. Also, the cleanliness of the home was less than desired. Some bedding had stains, carpet upstairs was not vacuumed before our arrival(my husband tried to vacuum, but that was broken), and the downstairs floor needs a thorough mopping. We love this area for vacation but will not be renting this specific home again.

Good for the price
Overall, a good place to stay for the price. We’ve stayed at other units in Barefoot Cottages that had some advantages over this one. Just needs some investment in upgrades. The floor on the first level is some kind of rollout laminate I think, there were huge areas of bubbles and sudden drops, I’m sure from all the humidity affecting the glue. But if anyone less sturdy on their feet walks on it, there’s an accident waiting to happen. Seems like the heating element in the dryer is going out. We weren’t able to dry anything for more than 10 mins at a time. Glad we read the reviews about the unit not having a smart tv so we could bring our Roku! And please…don’t use a 10-digit code to get into the unit. That meant I had to have my phone in my hand every time I came to the door. A simple 4 digit that we could remember would have been nice. Bed was comfy, place was clean, plenty of dishes for cooking. Again, good unit for the price, but it’s time to investment in upgrades.

We had a great stay. I only have one suggestion. The code to get in the house was soooooooooo long. Everytime we entered i had to fumble through my email to find it. It was impossible to remeber.

Our stay was great. We love the area. The cottage needs some work. The beds were terrible, we had to buy foam toppers to sleep The mattress were very old. The closet doors were off and didn't work. The upstairs carpet was so dirty. The furniture was very old and uncomfortable.

Enjoyed Our Stay
We enjoyed our stay at Barefoot Cottages, we loved that the pool was just outside the front door. The cottage was clean for the most part, I would say it needs a little updating with the carpet upstairs and the appliances. The dryer kept cutting off. Also one of the Adirondack chairs was broken on the upstairs balcony, so my husband almost fell. We realize these are just things that happen overtime in a rental. Overall our stay was amazing & we will be back.

The blue cottage
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage being close to the pool and beaches was such a convenience. The only issue we had was with the mattress on the king size bed it had a big dip on the side toward the bathroom. Everything else was great!
