What a Great Time
Everything was as it was described in the Listing. Willie was there to answer any questions we had. Easy check in, very clean. Great location. Pool right outside building. Everything worked as it should and we had plenty of room. Only thing is it would have been good to have a baby gate and maybe an iron.

Turtle Inn
Cute cottage nestled in the palm trees! Convenient to downtown Port St Joe. Two minute drive to Windmark Beach, five minute drive to Mexico Beach. There are two pools on the property. This cottage is closer to the smaller pool however a long walk or very short drive and you are at the larger pool area. If you have pets this is the best place to stay because of all the additional walking area for pets. The screened in decks were amazing for reading and enjoying the night bug free! The beds were very comfortable and the cottage was clean. I see a bathroom renovation in my future because the showers were amazing!

Great location but uncomfortable furniture
While the location is great, the furnishings of the cottage left much to be desired. The master bedroom had a soft bed. The living room had low squishy sectional sofa that was difficult to get off of. We brought in two chairs from the front porch -- while they were high enough, they were uncomfortable.

Turtle Inn at Barefoot Cottages
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Barefoot Cottages in early October. The weather was perfect and the Turtle Inn cottage did not disappoint. Our stay was very comfortable. Breakfast on the screened in porch was a favorite. We were able to relax there and WindMark beach was a close drive. We thoroughly enjoyed the shops and restaurants in Port St Joe. We also drove to Mexico beach and enjoyed the Shipwreck restaurant there. Apalachicola was only a half hour away. We loved the shops and fine dining at The Owl Cafe. We would definitely return to Port St Joe. This was our second time at Barefoot Cottages and we like the trails throughout the property for our miniature dachshund.
