Barefootin - Gulf Front, Heated Community Pool, Old Florida Beach!

Three Generation of Family. Great time. Beach was perfect! Lots of stairs in home and to beach.

This was our favorite house/location/beach that we have ever visited. We’ve been coming to the panhandle for over 30 years! Everything about it was perfect for us. ❤️❤️

We enjoyed the home. Layout was ideal. Kitchen was spacious and well equipped. View was great from second floor balcony. We love the neighborhood feel. Safe and secure.

We were surprised at and loved the home and location, my father said he was even more pleased than the photos depicted. The home was lovely, and despite all the ongoing construction in the neighborhood, location was fabulous. Ocean Reef management was quick to respond to almost all questions, and made check in and check out easy. I would suggest being in the real estate/rental world in my business, that instead of clearing home of every last necessary item like laundry detergent, or spices, or even salt and pepper or coffee, that they provide or allow items purchased by others to remain. It would be such a nice touch to provide the basics . Also, couldn't use the Roku on TV as it required a pin that management did not have. The beach and the ocean were just perfect, and even the thunderstorms one day were an experience! We loved our visit and will plan on returning to this home, with more family in tow!

Our extended family (from 3 states + Canada) booked Bare Footin' for a family gathering. We really enjoyed our stay! Clean property, beautiful decor, and lots of little seating areas throughout the home to gather as a group or steal away to a quite spot & read. And wow... the view from the deck was amazing! Stunning really. There were a handful of items that needed to be repaired / sorted out upon our arrival (broken toilet seat, broken closet door handle, missing lid for coffee pot, and missing blender). We reported everything right away and thankfully they sent someone out to fix everything within 24 hours (super-nice fix-it guy btw : ). We understand that things get broken & appreciated the management company's timely response. Thank you for that! Yes, we would rent this house again... but we'd take a hard pass on the 'free' family photo session Ocean Reef Resorts offers. Sadly... our session was 'cancelled due to weather' even though the skies cleared up 2.5 hours before our appointment time. Typical Florida weather, right? If you don't like the weather... just wait 10 minutes : ) By our reckoning... this version of a 'free' photographer was actually quite costly. Fortunately (after hearing our sob story) Kyler & Kait Photography (locals in Santa Rosa Beach, Fl) fit us into their busy schedule. I highly recommend them! And, for the record, they took our photos on the same day the 'free photographer' said he couldn't... due to weather.

The property was FABULOUS! We had 8 kids and 4 adults with plenty of room. The beach is basically your private beach directly in front of the house with easy access. The views were amazing, the neighborhood adorable, and in a prime crab-hunting location. The house was clean and decorated very nicely! If we HAD to change one thing it would be for the house to have a blender; we used a food processor for piña coladas which was messy. That complaint is a stretch though and was overshadowed by all the positives!

We had 6 adults and 6 kids and loved the house. Great sleeping space and common area. Access to the beech was simple and the lake in front of the house was a huge bonus as a place for kids to play and a natural barrier for the crowds. We would go back for sure.

Whimsical happy beach decorating (not the boring tans and greys), private gated community that kids could ride bikes and skate board. Access to lake and miles of biking. Amazing restaurants and shops in walking distance. Bike rentals at the end of the main street. Well organized kitchen for the OCD in most moms. Absolutely perfect ocean views and close easy access to the private beach. I have rented a lot of beach homes and this is perfect in my mind for the price. Only recommendation would be to update master bath and mattress, but it is usually the most used room in a rental. There are many other well appointed rooms to choose from. Thank you for a great vacation home and experience.

Hurricane sally was rough but we got two beach days out of six. House was wonderful.

Wonderful vacation. Loved the house. Great view and accommodations.
