This was exactly what we needed…a little slice of paradise in paradise! This location was perfect. We could go to the beach or the pool- in a matter of minutes. We love Port St. Joe and plan to return very soon! If possible, we will book this location again!

Cozy cottage
This was a very cute and cozy cottage. It was easy to book, and locate. However, once we got there we had the wrong gate code. Being that it was after business hours it took a little time to get in touch with someone. So I would suggest verifying the codes before arriving and during business hours. Overall we had a great experience.

Lovely & clean home, convenient to several nice beaches & Port St Joe community. I should have reviewed map more closely to find a home away from street noise, however, as I value quiet outdoor space. Very well equipped kitchen although the coffee maker leaked (could be used error?). Outdoor furniture could use an upgrade for comfort but it was adequate. Loved being so close to the quiet pool area. The beds were very comfortable! We loved our stay overall and used the convenient location to explore from Panama City to Appalachicola.

A little bit of a rough start but recovered quickly. Owner very responsive. House was clean with nice amenities. Master bedroom was a tad too small for the king bed squeezed in there. Community very pet friendly with nice places to walk. Public beach access very close for Windmark and Mexico Beach.

Great getaway
The rental process was simple. The house is beautiful and cozy. We felt at home. My pets loved the enclosed porch as much as we did. The kitchen had all necessary utensils and gadgets to dine-in which we love to do. The beach just a few blocks down was fabulous and dog friendly. Owners were good at keeping their dog’s on the leash. We would visit again for sure!

4/10 Poor

Michael T., Signal Mountain, TN

Disapointed
Where to start. Upon arriving at the location, we had no trouble with the provided information to enter the cottage. The kitchen area near the refrigerator smelled like dead fish and upon opening the freezer, it the smell was even more horrific. After getting unloaded, we decided to make a pot of coffee. There was brewed coffee left in the maker and the cord had been rolled up to indicate the maker was ready to use along with the coffee filter and grounds. Very disgusting. As luggage was taken upstairs, it was obvious, either rooms had been dusted in quit awhile. Two remotes (down stairs living area, upstairs, king size bed room) didn't work. We purchased new batteries, and still the remotes didn't work property. Only 4 towels and 4 wash cloths to be shared with 6 people. Luckily, we brought some of our own. There was food left in the cabinets above the microwave. Upon looking to see if the rental had a cookie sheet, the corner cabinet door was broke at the bottom hinge. The towel bar in the king side bedroom shower was broke and left "hanging" to appear to be nothing wrong with it. The worse of it... was when we went to pull the hide-abed out.... the right side of the bed frame was broke and not attached to the wooden frame and unable to pull it out to make bed.. not to mention, trying to put it back into place with a bent metal frame. Two members of the our party left, after trying to sleep on the floor for two night. The third night, the queen size bedroom bath room had ants crawling on the counter, luckily, there was bug spray under the kitchen sink. I made 5 attempts to contact someone through email with attached photos of these issues and never got a response back. We never did find a hot tub in the area of which the cottage was located. What was to be a very pleasant relaxing vacation with family, turned into an over priced uncomfortable camping trip. The two stars instead of one, the people we spoke with in town, where very friendly and helpful with providing information on the best beach locations and local places to eat.

Very comfortable cottage!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage! We loved the decor and all of the comfortable seating areas. The two balconies were great for our morning coffee and evening cocktails. We also liked that this cottage is tucked back at the end of the group of cottages, to give a little more privacy. We also liked that there were TVs in each of the bedrooms and the living room, with a lot of options for various family members. The kitchen was mostly stocked and very clean. The property manager was very responsive to needs. We love staying at Barefoot Cottages! Very clean cottage. Nice pools. Charming setting. Great for families. We would love to come back here again sometime.

Lovely beach themed home, very well furnished and kept!
Enjoyed our stay at this property not too far from Windmark and Mexico beaches. The home was clean, comfortable and well furnished. We loved the two porches with ample seating. We spent a bit of time on the upstairs porch enjoying the breezes and beautiful scenery. This property is close to the smaller pool on the property which we had to ourselves most of the time. The larger pool is on the other side of the property and stays busy but was enjoyable as well. We enjoyed our time here and would stay again. The kitchen was very well stocked pots, pans etc.. had everything we needed to prepare a meal.

We were well taken care of and had fun!
The property manager, Wes, was great to work with. This unit was well cleaned, comfortable, and had more in the kitchen than any rental I've stayed at. My wife and I came with four children and our family dog, and everyone was comfortable in their "own" living spaces. This was a two story cabin, but had a townhouse feel only when we went outside. The double decker screened porches got used frequently while we were home, for relaxing in the shade while being protected from any flies. There are two pools and a hot tub available on the grounds, and the smaller, closer pool was usually empty, save for a few other guests on occasion. The community grills were in decent shape, but I recommend getting a cheap wire brush if you plan to use them. The unit is located about 15 minutes south of Mexico beach (beautiful - think pc without all the shops and people) and is almost right across from Windmark beach (also beautiful, if a little narrow). About 30 minutes south is cape San Blas, which has a great raw bar and excellent fishing, along with horseback riding on the beach. Downtown port st joe has some local shops and restaurants, and the whole area maintains a personality that makes you feel at home. This was a relaxing retreat for my whole family, without the busy feel of a tourist spot like Panama city, which is a little over an hour away. I hope to be back next time we travel!

Great stay at Sandy Toes
Property was as described. Well suited for the two small families that made up our party. Kitchen was well stocked. Kids loved the pools on site, but adults were sad about the hot tub being down. Pet friendly property. Must be able to use stairs. Would have liked to have had more seating on the porches and possibly a table/chairs for dining al fresco. Owner was kind and responsive. Would stay again.
