Great first condo experience

This condo made our one-week vacation such a memorable one. My wife and I have a 3 year old and found the condo spacious and well stocked for our needs. The condo is a short walk from the beach and is on the quiet area of the Barefoot Beach Resort property. It is beautifully decorated and well maintained. We enjoyed the bed in the master bedroom and the pull-out sofa bed was comfortable for our son. Wifi and cable channels were good. I would have liked a bigger TV in the master bedroom but it's not that important to us, compared to the beach and pool. The beach chairs and umbrella were really great and saved us from buying/bringing our own. The beach is great! Fine sand and clean water. We also spent a lot of time at the pool, which was well maintained even though it was busy. Wendy was super helpful and really treated us as her guests. I would highly recommend staying at this condo! Thank you, Wendy!!

Everything was there!

We rented the condo for a month in Dec 13/Jan 14. Upon arrival, we found a very clean, well appointed space and lacked for nothing during our visit. The kitchen was well stocked, and we really enjoyed the full bookshelves, too! Gail, the rental agent, and Wendy, the owner, were both very helpful and made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. The description was exactly correct.

The 1-BR unit is small - I'm not sure I'd want to spend a month there with more than 2 people present, but for shorter trips the attached sunroom has a futon that could serve as an extra bedroom, especially since they have placed a curtain between that space and the living room that could make it into a more private area if needed. We really enjoyed the adjoining patio (weather permitting), and the tiki umbrella added to the ambiance. Parking is right in front of the unit, so very convenient, and the beach is just across the street. It wasn't very crowded even on the nice days at this time of year. Every shopping need is available just across the causeway, and there are tons of local restaurants and shops nearby to keep you busy. Our favorite was Salt Rock Grill which is just on the other side of the patio wall, so an easy walk. After all of that good food, we probably should have taken more advantage of the 2 nice bikes available with the unit but even with the great bike lanes in Indian Shores, we were hesitant to ride without helmets which we did not bring along.

We had stayed at Barefoot Beach in the past for shorter trips and like the quiet, cleanliness and the facilities. Having grills and laundry facilities very handy is great, and the pool area is well kept. We told friends about the complex, and they arrived the day after we left, and the loved it too!

Beautiful little condo in a great beach location

Barefoot Beach is a perfect location. Walk across to the beach or sit on the dock in the complex. The condo itself is clean and bright and well maintained. Gail the manager was awesome! She really went out of her way to make my stay great. The new table and chairs with umbrella on the patio was much appreciated. Everything you needed in the condo, bikes, beach chairs, beach towels! Would probably stay in this unit again. Only minor downfall is the patio looks onto the neighboring restaurant and people going in and out can see you but we still enjoyed having the outdoor personal space.

Owner's Response: The ground floor, walk out patio is skirted across the back with a six foot privacy fence. There are also beautiful shrubs and vines growing on the fence for added privacy. This area is a beautiful addition to this unit.

Love Barefoot Beach Resort!

We stayed a full week here and loved it. The beach access is just across the street and the bay is on the backside. If you are looking for a place to stay that's away from the hustle and bustle of Clearwater or St. Pete but close enough to reach in a short drive then this is it. This is our second stay at Barefoot and we plan to return again! The condo was well cleaned with fresh linens and also had a few supplies for the beach. There is a futon in the sun room that was accommodating for my son and nephew (13 year olds). Three bicycles were also available for our use which my boyfriend loved for his morning ride up and down Gulf Blvd. Gail, the property manager was very friendly to speak with on the phone when my boyfriend had a question. She offered to help us with any questions or info we needed during our stay. Also, very prompt at returning our deposit once we were home, I had a check within 4-5 days of being home. Thanks Gail!! Thanks for the great stay in a comfortable, relaxing condo we called home for a week! We will be back!!

Owner's Response: So happy you enjoyed your stay, and that you were able to have your boat steps away, at one of the available boat slips.
