Barefoot Beach Resort 217E Apartment

The condo was spotless, with lovely views and a great location. We were only a five-minute walk from the beach. We stayed for two nights and would happily come back next time we’re in the area.

We spent a lot of time out on the patio watching dolphins and other wildlife go by. It was so relaxing, and we’d definitely think about renting here again. The unit was very clean, easy to reach from many spots along the coast, and the instructions for getting into the unit and pool were simple to follow.

We love the location and beach, but the condition of the unit was a letdown on our second stay. The blinds need replacing, there were a few minor repairs to make, and the refrigerator was extremely rusty. The mattress also seemed to have broken springs, since it sagged toward the middle. I mentioned the problems to the office when we checked out, but they didn’t write them down or seem very concerned. At $378 a night, I’d expect everything to be in good shape. It’s a shame.

Really poor service. I’d never stayed somewhere that wouldn’t let us park until our unit was ready. We were paying for an overnight stay, yet had to pay for beach parking during the day. Management should have told us about that ahead of time. The woman at the front desk was unfriendly, too. I was there with my two kids and grandmother, but she didn’t seem to take that into account. Our family was sent to satellite parking for three hours, even though there were plenty of spaces at the building. Unbelievable.
