The owners were very prompt with answering any questions that I had. They made sure the check in process was easy and smooth. The condo was very clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The chairs and umbrella for the beach were much appreciated. We sat the camping chairs out on the balcony in the late evenings when the sun had gone down and enjoyed the nice breeze. Very relaxing and enjoyable place to stay. We will definitely return.
We enjoyed the beautiful and breathtaking sunsets.
Someone walking on the beach saw us holding hands and walking along the shore and snapped this photo of us. They stopped us and wanted to share it with us. We were so thrilled to get this picture!!

About the host

Hosted by Amelia Carol Condo at Barefoot Beach Resort /Marianne and Gary

Host profile image
After renting there 4 times, we fell in love with the area and bought there!!! We can't imagine being anywhere else on the Gulf Coast. We are a large family with many ages from young to older adults and there is something there for everyone. We grew up in Ohio where the winters can be pretty tough. Coming to Indian Shores was like a breath of fresh air and after a few visits we knew we didn't want to be anywhere else in Florida. In addition to being steps from the Beach we are also steps from the Intercoastal waterways!! The proximity to Tampa International Airport and St. Petersburg Airport
(PIE) makes it a breeze to be at the Resort within a half hour of Tampa airport and 20 minutes from PIE (St. Petersburg) Airport. This area fit all our needs, both weather-wise and for friendliness, relaxation, and fun, great dining, and sight seeing. Relax or not....the choice is yours!!!

Why they chose this property

We simply fell in love with this little piece of Heaven. Relax, or live it up. The choice is yours. We pride ourselves on this very clean, bright, and welcoming well decorated condo. But even more, we fell in love with the area itself We pay attention to detail, listen to what our guests have to say and suggest so we can get even better. The Beach, the Intracoastal, the many many restaurants, the friendly people, the many things to do, the stunning sunsets, Clearwater and St. Pete's Beaches close by, the many attractions in the area, OR, do NOTHING but enjoy the quiet beauty of walking the Beach or the walking or biking path right on Gulf Blvd, meeting the shop owners, boating, fishing, shopping. St. John's Pass. Indian Shores even has a Trolley that goes up and down the Gulf for a nominal fee and you can get off and on anywhere you wish. Its all there. Many places to go to and see for all ages. The people are friendly and it feels like a home away from home. This condo has most everything just like home!! The Location is second to none!!! Grocery stores right on either Park Blvd or Walsingham Rd. We are literally just steps from the Beach as Barefoot Beach has it's own PRIVATE Beach entrance. A real plus for ALL ages. We strive to give our guests the best vacation experience for the best value possible!! We are always happy to answer any questions you may have as our main goal is to help our guests have an Fun, Safe, and Memorable vacation.

What makes this property unique

You can be as quiet and relaxed as you wish or you can enjoy the night life. There is something for everyone of all ages. LARGE fun Mini Golf RIGHT next door. The 5 acres of greenery and the resort is well kept, coffee looking out from the sun room in the morning is a pleasure along with a small view of the ocean and the proximity to the beach is the best. The convenience is all there. Jet ski and Wave Runner Rental very close by! Water taxi is offered for service to local attractions. Private Fishing Dock on the resort to deep water channel is right on the property. Dolphins are often seen there at the Intercoastal waterway just steps from the Pool. Barefoot Beach Resort is one of the best kept secrets in Indian Shores. The value here is one of the best. There is even the Sun Coast Bird Sanctuary right on the beach that is open 7 days a week with daily Pelican feeding at 2:30. Fun for the entire family. We don't think you'll be disappointed!
