Much nicer than a hotel

We really enjoyed our stay, you provided so many of the comforts of home - our visit there was much more than just a place to stay, it was a place to relax. The location was perfect, we were never 10-15 minutes away from anything we watned to do (except when we went into Tampa). The property was very clean and well maintained. We defnitely recommend this location.

Great Spot!

We have been coming to Ana and Andrew's condo here in beautifull Indian Shores for the past few years. A wonderfully clean condo with all the ammenities in a fantasitc location. The owners are great to deal with and we have made many lasting friendships with other regular Barefoot Beach guests. This condo has everything you need for a relaxing and fun filled vacation. We look forward to our annual stay at Harts Paradise!

The place was great. More spacious than I expected. Everything was clean and Ana was amazing at answering any question we had very quickly. It was just a short walk to the beautiful beach using the resort access sidewalk which was really nice as well.

This was hands down our best rental experience! We often talk about making the trip back down to the area just to use this place again! Very clean, accessible, and great communication with the renters! Everything is as the pictures show if not better. Thank you so much for the opportunity to use your place and we look forward to renting again!

Looking forward to returning

Strongly recommend this condo. Quiet location with quick access to both the canal (great for fishing) & to the gulf. Close to a few bars & restaurants. Having bikes available was a huge benefit plus the host provided beach chairs and an umbrella. Full kitchen was nice but on several occasions we used the numerous gas grills that are on the property for cooking up brats, burgers & fresh fish. Host was easy to communicate with. Looking forward to coming back 😊

Just what we needed!

Our stay was just what we needed; great location, wonderful owner, friendly people, beach life to the max! The pool was wonderfully maintained and property management took care of any situation reported immediately. Check-In and Check-out were flawless. My only regret is that I didn’t reserve longer. Ana was absolutely wonderful and present for any questions we had… 100% will be back… hopefully sooner than later!

Great area to vacation.

Minor complaints, regulating water from hot to cold. Loud noise every time you turned on water. Sounds like water heater is about to fail. Condo could use updating, but we still had a decent time.

Condo was great but Pool was dirty!

Condo was outstanding. Very disappointed on care of pool. Last 4 days of my stay pool was cloudy and dirty and water level was low. Would not use it or let my little girl in it. I can hear pump was not running. When I mentioned it at check out, the response was someone else said that but no sorry or anything. My 12th time staying there but very disappointed in the property upkeep.

Spring Break

This was our 4th stay at Barefoot Beach Resort. We have chosen to return because the property has all the necessary amenities, close to the beach, and the convenient location. Fortunately, this will be our last spring break trip. The other guests at the property ruined our trip.. basically. Early morning, guests would go to the pool and leave beach towels on lawn chairs to reserve/take chairs. I don’t mean for a half hour.. I mean put towels down at 8:30 and not return to 11 or so.. including the 3 tables w/ umbrellas. Really unbelievable.. never seen anything like it. We as a couple were simply looking for 2 lawn chairs … one in shade and one in sun.. Could not find unless it was early evening.. But then again, that is US in 2020… rude, inconsiderate, and entitled behavior. Not sure the property owners can do much about it but maybe request some type of courtesy and not to leave personals belongings unattended for long hours.

A short getaway for my wife and I. Our second time staying at Barefoot Beach Resort. We have been very happy here. The cleanliness of our unit and the grounds was superb. It’s a 3 minute walk to the beach and several great restaurants are within a 5-10 minute drive.

Great place to stay

Communication with host was prompt and responsive. The condo was neat, clean, well appointed, spacious. Short walk to the white sandy beach. Beach chairs and umbrella supplied by host came in very useful indeed. Kitchen was well equipped, and we bought groceries from nearby Walmart & Publix. Check-in and out were smooth. Overall, had a great time ! Planning to be back again sometime, would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Ana

Host profile image
We used to visit numerous times in a year, long weekends, two week vacations & loved being close to the beach. We still live in NJ & are now married with three gorgeous girls, Jaklyn 16 Jamie 14 & Juliana 10. We come down as often as possible and look forward to our July & October vacations. The girls LOVE coming to the BLUE HOUSE!

Why they chose this property

Indian Shores is in the middle of everything but yet nice and quite for a relaxing vacation! You can hop in the car or take the trolley and be in Clearwater or John's Pass in minutes! This was a great investment and we love to share it with others who will appreciate the beautiful paradise that surrounds you!

What makes this property unique

I can promise you that if you book with us you will not be disappointed. I take pride in my unit and make it a point that everyone that stays with us LOVES their time here. It's clean and has all you need for your stay, just bring your suitcase!

I have a couple from Canada that rented from us March 2006 and have been back every year since then!
