About this property

The Barefoot Bungalow

Open your front door to find a beautiful white sand beach with warm, gulf coast waters waiting for you. The sunsets are unbelievable! This unique property has access to gulf coast beaches on one side and placid bay water on the other. Enjoy fishing, kayaking, swimming and free dock slips. 

The Barefoot Bungalow is easy walking distance to great beachfront restaurants with live music most every night. Yet, you are far enough away to enjoy tranquility hearing nothing but the sound of waves.

You can’t ask for more than what this little place offers. Literally waking up and having breakfast on the beach. No lugging all your stuff from the beach to the car only to do it again the next day. You’re steps from the beach. We packed all our usual stuff only to find chairs, umbrellas, floats, beach towels already provided. Fully stocked kitchen and the most comfortable king bed. Already looking at the calendar for next year. The host Pat, was amazing. Every message I sent she responded immediately and was so friendly. Highly recommend.

We absolutely love this place! Our third time there. The beach is beautiful! You never have to worry about a crowd. We usually go in May. The pool across the street is quite welcoming in the late afternoon and is always very clean. The little condo is perfect for two people! It is always spotless and the coastal decor is lovely. There are several great restaurants to choose from right on the Key within minutes from the bungalow. The hosts are very accommodating and pleasant to communicate with. We absolutely will return!

Beautiful property. Right on the beach and we saw manatees and dolphins daily. This place was well stocked and there is an Aldi close by. I hope to come back again soon! My only tip for others is to bring earplugs. We had a heavy-heeled walker upstairs and he was a night owl one of the nights. Definitely doesn’t deter us from coming again. This place is fantastic.

Loved our stay at The Barefoot Bungalow!! Pat and Jack were great. It was such a pleasure to be able to meet them during our stay after reporting to them of a broken window blind. Quick response and repair. Such a nice little condo right on the beach.

Mrs. Fuhrmann is very friendly and informative. She has been extremely helpful answering all of my questions and helping me get through the process of booking my vacation and actually calling me to insure that all went well.
