Small property right on the beach and an easy walk to all the amenities of Johns Pass. Deep sea fishing, parasailing, jet ski, etc. Lots of shops and restaurants. A great find in the heart of the area. More

We just left and if when we return to this area this will be the place we stay, the condo had EVERYTHING we needed, from a bucket to making sand castles, to beach towels and chairs, a pool, the beach steps away, and the scenic waterway on the other side. We had 2 small children and took them swimming in... More

Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy life to review us on Trip Advisor! We hope it's not too cold up there in Maine for you -- is it ok to tell you it was 80 degrees here today and broke a record set way back in 1974? Glad you and your family enjoyed our pool... More

An affortable, well run facility that is conveniently located across from the beach. One downfall is that it is at least 30 minutes from any major attraction. For a local "cultural" experience you must spend at least one evening at Mahuffer. Great coffee at Indian Shore Coffee. More

Just back from 8 nights here. The condo itself was immaculate, the only minus is the Internet is not wireless and when you have 2 teenagers with their own laptops sharing one cable was problematic.i suggest the owner join the 21st century and roll out wireless across the resort, if the airports can do it so can the barefoot beach!!!!...

We have stayed twice at Barefoot Beach Resort (booked through Allegiant). The units are gorgeous and very clean. They are equipped with all or most of your cooking needs, they even supply a small box of laundry detergent and paper towels. I'm not quite sure why it happened but we were upgraded to locations in the complex that were quite... More

We rented at Barefoot Beach Resort through Global Connections the week of 10/22/11 - 10/29/11. We were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary on 10/24 and this turned out to be a perfect location for a relaxing trip. Because we rented through Global Connections, the cost for the week was only $230. We stayed in a 2 bedroom ground floor condo... More

We stayed at the Barefoot resort for the holiday weekend and had a real good time. Very well-maintained, friendly staff, amazing location, private and secluded and great amenities. Given that the resort is located in a very quaint part of the Gulf Blvd, was pleasantly surprised that a lot of essential stores (coffee shop and 7/11) are next door. And... More

We recently stayed in Unit F111, which is privately owned and rented out. It was fully furnished and pretty comfortable with a few exceptions. The mattress is in need of replacement - kind of lumpy. There was no toilet paper except what was on the roll, but we just purchased some when we went to the grocery store, so that... More

I came here with my Mum and Dad last January and we had a great time. OK so the weather was rubbish and the complex was virtually deserted which meant we had the lovely pool to ourselves on the rare occasions the sun came out- the location was still very good - you can park outside your front door and...
