Barefoot Trace

With little kids and rain all week, a Smart TV would have made a real difference. The TV was old, the cable picture was poor, and there weren't many kid-friendly channels. Being stuck indoors for several rainy days made that especially noticeable. Our #314 condo was otherwise gorgeous, with wonderful views of the ocean, sunrise, and common grounds. It was at the far end of the complex, away from the pool, so it was peaceful. Parking and unloading were easy with the nearby elevator and public rolling carts. The place was clean and well furnished, with extras like a pack n play, high chair, toys, games, spare blankets, plenty of towels, laundry baskets, and a box fan. The location made it easy to reach groceries and some restaurants without going downtown. We ordered through Door Dash and GrubHub and cooked in the condo, which was really nice. The pool was a good size and had room for several families. The beach access was incredible. Our little girl loved the wide, open shore, gentle tide, and tide pools. Since the beach is broad and flat, I didn't have to worry about her getting into deep water too quickly. With fewer people per sq ft, it felt like pure GOLD for families: lots of room to play and run, and great for walking, running, and bike rides together. We'll definitely return, and we're grateful for the lovely stay, rain every day and all!

We went in June, and the beach wasn't very crowded. The room was great and had lots of extras in case we'd forgotten something. The elevators are slow, lol, and the breezeways really are breezeways!

Every unit faces the ocean, so we got sunrise and sunset photos. We recently came back from a second visit, and everything was great. We hope to make it an annual trip. On our first visit, we spent a week in St Augustine at Barefoot Trace. The property is very well maintained and had all the conveniences of home. We like condo rentals for the extra space and full kitchen, and we don't need daily maid service. Honestly, how many hotels still offer that? We'll definitely return to St Augustine and Barefoot Trace.

We had a great vacation in unit 206. The condo was beautiful, and we loved being close to both the pool and beach. Everything else was great too. My only suggestion is to change the shower head because the spray was very powerful. We've rented through Coastal before and will do so again. The staff and properties are great.
