About this cottage rental
Pelican Point is now dog friendly! Please indicate that you're bringing a dog(s) so the pet fee is charged.
Check out the sister cottage "Mermaid Cove" if you need to sleep a large group. They are together, it is a 3BR, and will sleep 14 if you book both (separately priced)!
You will love your home away from home "Pelican Point" in the gated community of Barefoot Cottages. Make lasting memories as you explore the Forgotten Coast, relax on the beach, watch beautiful sunsets, and gather back at home to exchange stories about your day.
Relax in the two come-sit-a-spell screened porches with your morning coffee, sweet tea in the afternoon, and cold drinks in the evening.
The decor, furnishings, and linens are bright and beachy. The 1st floor open concept living/dining/kitchen makes for great family time. The dining area has seating for four at the table and a coffee bar. The kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances has seating for three more at the large breakfast bar. It is fully stocked with everything you'll need to fix meals and store leftovers including spices, oil, Pam spray, Ziploc bags, foil, plastic wrap, containers, a mixer, and crockpot. There is a new Queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Six beach towels are stored under the TV to grab as you head out the door to the pool and beach. A half bath on this level contains the washer and dryer and laundry products for your use.
Both bedrooms are housed on the 2nd floor, each with an ensuite bath. You can choose bedroom #1, a King with a water view and tub/shower combo, or bedroom #2, a Queen with walk-in tile shower and upper porch access.
Up to 2 dogs are allowed (a pet fee will be charged, house-broken only, no puppies).
This cottage is privately managed, which means you will communicate directly with us instead of a company (you will have my cell # for questions once you book), no surprise management fees at checkout, we are available any time before and after check-in, and we are the cleaning and maintenance crew. We live in the community and do any fix-its needed between guests. You will appreciate this personal touch if you've dealt with a management company previously.
The keyless entry is great for young and old, no keys to keep track of, and you will have a secure code that is deleted when you check out.
You will have two parking spots which are right outside the door, and you will be steps away from one of the community pools and a grilling area. The main pool, hot tub, and fitness room are about a five-minute walk away or parking is available there. The 3rd pool is also a short walk away. There are restrooms at all the pools.
If you need beach or baby gear (crib, pack 'n play, high chair, stroller/wagon, car seat, toys, beach wagon, chairs, Shibumi shade, cooler, and much more available), ask me about BabyQuip. You'll find so many items to rent to simplify your vacation, and delivery/pick up is FREE for Pelican Point guests.
Barefoot Cottages is about three miles outside of Port St. Joe. If you take a right as you exit the front gate, WindMark Beach is on St. Joseph Bay and about a one-minute drive. Within about five minutes more in that direction you will find St. Joe Beach and then Mexico Beach (plenty of free parking available). Tyndall Air Force Base is another twenty minutes, and if you keep heading that way you will soon be in Panama City Beach with its tourist attractions, restaurants, shopping, and the Northwest FL Beaches Airport (ECP). To head the other direction, turn left as you exit the gate and you will be in Port St. Joe in about three minutes. There is a Dollar General Market and Piggly Wiggly for groceries, and a vibrant and charming downtown area with locally owned restaurants and boutique shopping. Continue twenty minutes east on 98 to Cape San Blas or take a drive to Apalachicola and St. George Island.
Whether you're coming to the area for a festival or wedding, to unwind with family and friends on our beautiful beaches, to reel in the big ones, or to visit your loved one at Tyndall AFB, we want to help make memories that you'll treasure forever. You can shake the sand from your shoes but it will never leave your soul.
We rent to families only--no construction worker groups and no renters under 25. If you're under 25 and your parents won't be staying in the home with you the entire time, please don't even ask. In providing a modern, clean, well stocked home, we are looking for guests who will treat it as their own.
No smoking allowed.
Boats and trailers are no longer allowed in Barefoot Cottages.

This property is extremely nice. Lots of extras most places don’t have. Really enjoyed it. Good location. The property manager was on top of everything.

We enjoyed our stay at Pelican Point at Barefoot Cottages. The house was exactly what we expected with no issues or complaints. Not sure who has responsibilities of the pool area but the pool closest to the house has some issues with dry rotting pool furniture. If you have chairs of your own I would use them as the chairs at the pool are no good. We would definitely stay at this property again. Thanks for having us.

Julie's Pelican Point stay was perfect!!! It was clean, well kept and cared for, and close to everything. The unit had everything we needed: close to the beach, quiet evenings, and comfy beds. No problems at all; just a great place to stay with a wonderful and attentive host.

Barefoot Cottages is a quite little private community. The cottage was beautiful, very well maintained and very clean. Julie and Dennis were great. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to be close to the small city, the beach and not a long drive from Panama City. Its a community where i would consider purchasing and living there all year round.Loved it.

The cottage was exactly as represented. The property manager was pleasant and helpful with our needs, which were very few. The only downside to our experience was the colder than expected temperatures in February.

Beautiful cottage in a gated community. Very clean and was stocked with essentials I needed for a 2 week stay, also had a well-stocked coffee bar. Loved the screened in patio and balcony, was able to work out there with no issues. Julie is an excellent property manager, check-in and out was easy and I was sent info I needed prior to my stay, she replied to text messages quickly during my stay. Would recommend and definitely stay again.

Adorable cottage suited our needs for last minute weekend away. House was well stocked with items not always provided at rentals. The gated community was great.

This is an immaculate, beautiful cottage in a great location to everything in the area. Exactly as pictured (if not better). Quiet and restful; we had no issues at all with noise or privacy. Even though the cottages are close in proximity to each other, the way they are situated, and the use of landscaping makes you feel surprisingly private. Julie is an excellent communicator and check in and check out were simple and seamless. We love this area of Florida and would love to stay here again!

The cottage was really nice and beautifully decorated for the beach. I loved sitting on the screened in porch and balcony and relaxing. The coffee bar with coffee and biscotti was a nice touch. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

I mean...I would live at Pelican Point if I could. Amazing beach decor down to the smallest detail. Clean, lovingly stocked with everything you could possibly need. Communication with the hostess was quick, pleasant, and helpful. Location provides easy access to Port St. Joe and Mexico Beach. Highly recommended!!

Over the years we have stayed in several different places at Barefoot. This was one of our favorites! Julie was excellent to work with. She checked on us to make sure everything was going ok or if we needed anything.
One thing that has change since our last visit was boat parking was no longer an option there at Barefoot. Julie gave us the name & number for a storage unit in town that will rent a spot to park. It worked out well! Can't wait for our next visit!

There were no snags or snafus in the rental process or the rental itself. There were no unpleasant surprises, and everything was even better than the advertisement. The Pelican Point at Barefoot Cottages had everything we needed for a comfortable and carefree stay. The owner texted to make sure all was well. We will do this again exactly the same.

We had a great time, enjoyed the pool and beaches. I would go to Pepper's restaurant it was great not far from house. Windmark beach is very nice and quiet and also not far from the house. Community pool was just a few steps from house and locals from the area was very nice. If we had questions all was answered quickly by phone or person. Only suggestion we would like to give is to put more furniture on the front porch, maybe move some of the upstairs porch , to the down stairs porch. But all over it will be a good place to start going.
