This place housed 8 adults and 10 kids seamlessly and was a perfect vacation spot. The pool was awesome and two kitchens really came in handy. Would highly recommend!
This is a wonderful property. We rented both upstairs and downstairs. (they are identical)Wonderful and spacious for families and children.Beach and Pool are gorgeous!
We enjoyed ocean views and beautiful sunrises each morning from the upper deck/ lower porch! There was enough room for our family, ages 5 thru 86 yrs. The home is close to St Augustine and surrounding area! The kitchen was well stocked and there was lots of space to eat inside and out! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay here again!
The 2 units were clean, although some of the walls could use painting due to scuff marks from prior renters
Our family group of 16 had to split up between units and although there was plenty of sleeping space we would have rathered 1 big house to be together.
The kitchen Definately lacked counter space and serving dishes but bathrooms were efficient
The bottom unit lacked ocean views but the top porch was very nice. From the bottom unit one can hear walking and noise from upstairs
I wouldnât want to rent bottom unit with
another family upstairs
Awesome laundry room and enough towels for all.
We rented both units of the Barefoot Hideaway Retreat for a family gathering. My wife and I were in a room upstairs and found much to our liking. The upstairs rooms were bright and well furnished. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and all the cookware we needed while the dining area and living space were comfortable. Unfortunately, the weather was cool and rainy but we still enjoyed taking the board walk down to the beach. Our hosts, David and Robyn, were responsive to our requests. If the weather had been a little warmer and it were sunny, we would have loved relaxing on the back porch where one had an awesome view of the ocean. The pool is currently under construction but once finished, it will be a wonderful addition to the home. We look forward to planning another visit to the Barefoot Hideaway Retreat in the future.
My family and I really enjoyed the house. We liked the split levels so it felt like we each had our own area. Loved the top porch and overlooking the ocean. The pool was a good size for all of us that went in. We usually stayed in or out by the pool pretty late and were bummed a couple times when lights went out before quiet time, but we sent a message to the owners and they kept it on for us until quiet time which we really appreciated. It was easy talking with them on whatever request we had. We weren't sure about the length of the boardwalk from seeing it in the pictures, especially when we did have some older couples with us but when we got there it was not that long and pretty easy to walk and they had a sit down area if they ever needed a rest. The location of the house was a little tricky when we first arrived, it was dark out and our GPS took us to the apartment complex next door, but after doing some looking around we located the mailbox with the appropriate driveway for us. After that we enjoyed the location a lot, not too busy so it made coming and going very easy. Overall, we enjoyed our time in the house and would recommend it to anyone especially as a big family get together.
Our family, children and grandchildren stayed in both units for 3 days. The pool and beach were huge hits with everyone. The units were very clean and well stocked with beach towels, chairs etc.
This is a great property for families, especially those with kids and travelling with extended family, like grandparents. The location is perfect, the staff is super communicative, and I couldn't have asked for more.
This house was great for our family of 12 plus 2 babies! Access to the beach and location were awesome! The pool was a great addition, we were able to get back and forth to the beach easily with just a short walk.
Space was excellent inside the house, except some rooms did not have a dresser!
We cooked or grilled every night and had all that we needed!
Overall a great location, home and we had a great time would definitely recommend!
What a wonderful home, location, and stay! This was our second stay and it was amazing both times. Everything was as expected/pictured and we had a GREAT time. Perfect for our large family and couldnât ask for better. Thanks!
We stayed at this property in January 2025 with a total of 14 family members. This set up was ideal! It was great having 4 bedrooms with king beds plus the bunk rooms. It was nice to be able to spread out and have two kitchens. The view from the upper porch was so beautiful. It was a short walk down the path to the beach. The beach was clean and perfect to looking for shells. . There were not many people on the beach. the sand was soft. There was 2 washing machines and 2 dryers, which was really nice with a group. We gathered upstairs for meals and could spread out onto the deck. We played games at night and enjoyed the big screen TV. I would definitely return to this house. The house was well maintained and clean. The pool was also kept nice and clean. It really is great family retreat!
Very nice property with well-appointed and comfortable spaces. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and in very good shape. Our only real issue was that the kitchens were not very thoughtfully furnished with good-quality equipment/utensils. It felt more like a mish-mosh of leftover things from other people's kitchens which were put together (and sometimes not very clean). With a thoughtful review of those supplies and a thorough cleaning of all the items which are in the cabinets, I think this would be a 5 star stay.
