Barefoot Beach Resort

“Wonderful Staycation for central Florida residents!”

Fantastic location, easy access to the beach, walking distance to restaurants and stores. Very helpful and friendly from office. We also appreciated having plenty of thick towels.

Fantastic location, easy access to the beach, walking distance to restaurants and stores. Very helpful and friendly from office. We also appreciated having plenty of thick towels. Wish we had more than two pillows on each bed. Beds are either full or queen but comfortable. The extra space off the master bedroom would be great room for kids to play and have extra room for sleeping or pack n play beds.

“Indian Beach - Barefoot Beach Can't wait to return!!!!!”

The place is WONDERFUL! Staff is EXCELLENT! Just a very short walk across the 2 lane street with a signal crosswalk and you are on the beach! Each unit comes with chairs and umbrella so that is a big plus!!!

My wife and I wrapped up a 10 day Florida vacation, wuth the last leg of it at the Barefoot Resort. It wasn't what we expected. In summary: Location: Excellent. Weather: Excellent. Condo space: Great. Furnishings: Dated Pool: Crowded I'll post several pictures. We began to itch minutes after sitting on the living room couch. We began to sneeze, with a runny nose, whenever we showered. The sneezing and runny nose would stop 10 minutes after. We loved the sun room and sat there insteadof the livingroom. . The kitchen suited our needs. The bed skirt was dirty. The blanket was dated. We loved the French doors to to the sun room. We went swimming in the pool and found pieces of women's hair everywhere. One of the guests even decided to pour their water bottle contents right into the pool. Overall, we love the area, but did not have a good overall experience with the condo.

“Watch the sunset over the ocean”

The location of this resort is excellent, right next door to a fabulous restaurant (Salt Rock Grill) and directly onto the Inter Coastal waterway, the beach also being literally across the road. Unfortunately the accommodation it's self was a little disappointing. The con do was just as the photo's showed, a neutral nautical feel with plenty of areas to relax and a large shower room, small but functional kitchen and an airy bedroom. What the pictures couldn't show was that some of the fixtures, such as both wardrobes were in need of tlc, the fitted door on both were coming off the rails and it was difficult to open and close them. The aircon unit worked fine but was very noisy, as was the fridge in the kitchen. The bedroom floor seemed a bit dirty and I felt the need to brush off me feet before getting into bed. The pool area which had looked fairly small on the photos was actually a good size with plenty of sun loungers and tables and chairs to enjoy the amazing Florida weather and the lovely view. The pool rest rooms could do with as more frequent clean as the floor was often dirty. The grounds were clean and there was a number of BBQs available to use with seating areas adjacent to them. The most disappointing thing for us was that on our last day, having a late flight home we decided to have one more morning around the pool. We checked out, letting the agent know this was our plan, only to be told we would have to move our car out of the parking lot in to a public car park a few blocks down with an hourly fee. As we were travelling at a quiet time of year (the car park at the resort wasn't even a third full) we felt this was poor customer service. The agent gave us the reason that the parking pass needed to be back with them (at 10am) so she could get the new welcome pack ready for the next guest (who couldn't check in until 4pm). She advised there was a chance the car would be towed if we left it on site. Surely she could have provided a visitor pass or had a spare pass we could have used for the 3 hours we staid over? Having travelled extensively around Florida, this was the 1st time we had come across this situation. Indian Shores is a lovely place to stay, very convenient for both Clearwater and St Petes and with plenty of places to eat, but if we return it will be to a different accommodation. If the place had little tlc and better customer service I would have considered a return visit.
