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!

*Snowbirds welcome!

A good place to stay
The condo was wonderful. It was quiet and close to town. There was plenty of room; the tv and wifi worked well. It was too cool for the pool when we were there, but it looked inviting. We have stayed at the Barefoot Cottages before, and C56 is one we would use again.

Tucked away in nice neighborhood
Cute set up but not a fan of Baby TVs in bedrooms & living room for rates we paid. Not even smart tV need to get with the times. Need to work on housekeeping. Need to check for broken items or burnt out lights before next next comes in. Beds were comfortable lots of plates glasses etc. I would bring your own towels. 2 per bathroom is ridiculous when most people use 2 if you wash hair so 2nd person out of luck.

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.

Wonderful vacation home
We were very happy with this beautiful home. Very spacious, clean, and close to the beach. Each bedroom is large, clean and had a lot of room. Tucked into a private Oasis, this home had everything you would need to make your stay a great experience. The pool area was very well maintained and clean. We have stayed two years in a row with Vacasa and we have had no issues. Thank you for a great vacation experience.

Perfect Getaway!
Even though the cottage is in a community, it is very quiet! The cottage itself is very spacious with a well stocked kitchen. We had brought a lot kitchen tools & utensils, but they weren’t really needed. The location is very convenient to downtown Port St Joe and public beaches. We would definitely book this again!

Great place for the price!!!
Stay was wonderful! Close to all of my favorite places! Beaches were a minute away, cape San blas just a short drive, and my favorite places to eat! Always a wonderful lace to visit and the neighbor hood so very very quiet. So I was very pleased.

Mediocre Home
The home was nice for the most part. The master shower was smaller than expected. The beds were not comfortable. The TVs in the bedrooms are tiny.

Great family getaway
We enjoyed our stay at Barefoot Cottages. The house was clean, with adequate room to accommodate our party. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. We will definitely choose Barefoot Cottages again when we return to Port St. Joe.

The perfect cottage!!!
This cottage was so spacious and perfect for our 5 day vacation! The inside seems to be newly renovated with beautiful beach furniture. Two outdoor porches that were screened in and perfect for your morning cup of coffee. Patrick with Vacasa was amazing. He was quick to answering any questions we may have had and helped us locate the local marina since we were new to this area. Would definitely rent again!! See you next year!

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.
