The home was as described and directly on the beach with beautiful views. We had some disappointments on arrival with the beach access due to the unexpected dredging process, then minor WiFi issues, but management was quick to respond/send someone to help. We enjoyed our stay and appreciate the management’s commitment to making things right for us! The location is beautiful and will not disappoint.
Was a great view and most perfect beach access with our own boardwalk. Upstairs balcony is perfect. Plenty of room for parking as well.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! 🌊💙
We’re thrilled to hear you loved your stay at Bare Feet Retreat — from the great views and private boardwalk beach access to the upstairs balcony and ample parking. It’s wonderful to know the home worked so well for your beach getaway.
Thank you for choosing Gulf Coast Getaways on Pensacola Beach — we’d love to welcome you back for more barefoot, toes-in-the-sand time soon! 🏖️✨
Best coastal wishes,

Beautiful and great location. Wish it had a few more amenities of home. In the kitchen and for the beach.

Hi Emily, good morning!
We always want our guests to have everything they need to relax and enjoy their vacation. If there were any kitchen or beach items you needed during your stay, we would’ve been more than happy to bring them over — we just wish we’d known! Our team’s goal is to make sure every stay feels easy, comfortable, and completely stress-free.
This is such a wonderful 5-star property, and we truly take pride in keeping it that way for our guests. If, after thinking back on your experience, you feel your stay reflected that, we’d really appreciate it if you’d consider updating your rating. Your feedback means so much to us and helps future guests know what to expect.
Warmly,
Gulf Coast Getaways
This home is absolutely beautiful, my family and I had such an incredible time here! The home has the perfect location, literally just a few steps away from the beautiful beach, from your very own beach access. The home was equipped with basically everything we needed for our stay. We were able to check in almost 2 hours early which was a huge plus for us! We loved this home so much I’m sure we will be renting it again in the future!
Great location! The house had everything we needed. It IS a bit dated, however. Swinging 'saloon like" doors to the toilet/shower in downstairs bedroom REALLY need to be changed. There is no bathroom privacy in that area.
This is an incredible
Location. The house is steps onto the beach with your own little path. Loved how it was more private and way less crowded than the in town beach. It is very close to town for all the yummy restaurants. We would definitely go back to this house. The one thing I’d say is come knowing you’ll need beach towels because they aren’t provided, shampoo conditioners, and you’ll need more toilet Paper paper towels trash bags etc. They leave a bar of soap for each bathroom and one toilet roll. This is just a heads up. We still think it deserves the 5 stars because it is wonderful!
Pros: The view was fantastic. Direct beach access is awesome. The renting agency was easy to deal with and quick to respond to questions.
Cons: The kitchen was outfitted with the cheapest possible version of everything - pots & pans, utensils, flatware, appliances. Many pots were damaged too badly to use. Disappointing given the price we paid and in comparison to other places we've stayed nearby.

Thank you for the kind comments and positive feedback on this great beach house. However, the complaints about the Kitchen are very frustrating. Had this been communicated that you had subpar supplies or were dissatisfied with what was provided - we would of brought out all new items. We keep numerous brand new sets of Pots, pans, utensils, kitchen items stocked at our office and frequently replace and resupply as needed. These are heavily use rental homes so we may not buy top end Pots and pans because of the heavy use but when we noticed they have gone beyond their useful life we replace or at the request of a guest. Future guests please rent this wonderful beach house with confidence! Additionally the house is getting a brand new exterior beach front deck! Regards, Gulf Coast Getaways
The location and view of the water was amazing. The only thing that would be nice is that they say the property sleeps 12 we had only 9 and there would not have been enough towels if we would have had 1 more. It was also lacking some very basic supplies. There is a request to run the dishwasher prior to leaving which is very standard but there were any pods to run the washer. It also lacked some other very basics like salt and pepper which aren’t a big deal if you drive but if you fly buying those very basics is a huge waste for guests.
I can’t say enough about the views and location though.

Thank you for the solid review and feedback/suggestions. We will make sure our cleaning staff provides enough towels, if ever a guest needs more or think it is inadequately supplied we will promptly get cleaning out to bring more. Even basic food items we remove as it something some people like and some do not want to see. Hope to have you back soon to this wonderful Beach House! Gulf Coast Getaways
The house is very comfortable. The bedrooms were perfect for us. ( 6 adults, 1 child) The living area was arranged perfectly. There are puzzles and beach books for when-a beach break is needed. The deck is terrific! We used the gas grill with no problems. Downstairs is an outdoor shower. Kitchen well stocked with appliances, pans, bowls, dishes, pots, utensils & cooking utensils. Another set of forks would be nice to have as we don’t use plastic! Also, as the freezer in the fridge is small & the demand for ice is high, perhaps a small ice maker could be installed?
A kitchen drawer came off the track and maintenance was out that day to repair it!
He also set up the hose for us as someone had removed the connector.
One flaw that was almost a deal breaker for us renting again next year is the bathroom in large downstairs bedroom. The toilet/shower closet has slatted, wooden swinging doors as seen in old Western movies! They don’t even latch! This affords no privacy. I am hoping that the owner upgrades this to a barn door! I rented in good faith that this will happen!
The boardwalk to the beach is excellent. It was so nice having 2 Adirondack chairs at the base of the walk. Such a great place to sit & sip or read or just listen to waves at night. Lovely touch!
We used the beach umbrella for extra shade. There were beach chairs & toys that we did not use.
All in all this was a great house for us.
We very much enjoyed our time at this property and would recommend it to friends. We would definitely consider coming back in the future.
The staff was very helpful in accommodating an early check-in since we had little kids who had been in the car for a very long time. We very much appreciated this.
The location was fantastic and the beach access was perfect. The property was not far from the main drag, but it was far enough away to be calm and uncrowded. We did notice that the boardwalk needed some TLC, but no one was injured or maimed and it was not unsafe. The outdoor seating areas also maybe needed some attention, but again, these are only minor comments. There was plenty of space to accommodate our group and nothing was uncomfortable.
The family room space was perfect! There was lots of room for all of our group to sit in the evenings and plenty of room around the dining table (but we did need a few more chairs here). The TV was nice and easy to use. The WiFi also worked well, even for video conferencing.
The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked a lot. It was a bit hard to cook for a big group (maybe needed more large items like pots, pans, baking sheets, etc.), but we were prepared for this and managed to adapt as needed. The appliances were a little dated but functioned adequately. The refrigerator struggled to keep up when we first arrived and packed it full of groceries for 11 adults; but we were able to contact the text line and a service provider was sent to inspect it on the same day. He vacuumed some cooling components and it was running great by the end of the evening. We were very pleased with the responsiveness of the staff to address this issue.
The sleeping arrangements easily accommodated our group and no one complained about the beds being uncomfortable. (This is my own personal suggestion, but I would have appreciated some upgraded/additional bedding, as what was provided was a bit minimal. But, I understand not wanting to put a lot of investment into this when people don't treat it well.)
The kitchen cabinets and bathrooms needed to be updated -- there was nothing wrong with them, but they were obviously dated. Still, there was plenty of hot water and everything was very clean so this really wasn't a disappointment or problem. The water pressure was also good so long as not all three bathrooms were going at the same time.
Overall, we enjoyed our vacation and would recommend this property for others.

Thank you for the thorough and constructive review! We appreciate constructive feedback and it definitely helps us improve our properties as guests often find things and notice items that we do not. We have both the back deck and the walkway schedule for replacement and repair this off season. The beach is a harsh environment and it is time to get those two parts of the house fixed (the deck replaced and the walkway repaired/updated). We will also check out the kitchen items and make sure we are adequately stocked up with the necessary pots and pans. Thank you again for the 5 star review and the helpful information, you have helped make this a better vacation home! Hope to have you back soon, Gulf Coast Getaways
Beautiful home and great location! The host was very responsive to any questions and concerns. Plenty of parking for our group. We had no reason to leave the house. We had everything we needed to cook/grill at the property except a knife set, but this was communicated with the host and handled. Cheer nationals were going on this weekend so other areas were very crowded. It was nice that the beach was more private.
Unbeatable location with private walkway access to the Gulf of Mexico. Great two level deck, partially covered, ideal for dining or enjoying the swing.
The property was everything we hoped it would be. It was clean, comfortable, and the location was perfect!

Average Beach House - Great Ocean View
The view, access and privacy were as advertised...no question. Would stay there again if house updated a bit, repairs made to boardwalk and deck...and some appliances replaced. It is a beach house so one expects some wear and tear. Positive overall experience with some reservations. Need to update online pictures...bring weekly rates to more comparable price due to updates needed.

Thank you for the constructive review. The deck and boardwalk are scheduled for replacement and repairs. We had to wait for materials, an opening in the calendar, and find someone to do the work. The dates for the work are 25 October to 13 November of this year, 2021. Gulf Coast Getaways
The view of the ocean from this house was amazing. It was also a short walk to the beach. Nice house for all ages. We had a fantastic time. Wish I had more money, I would of stayed longer.
We had 4 families with 6 kids from 2-7 years old stay in this house for 6 nights. It was just enough room and the walk to the beach was so perfect. Any issues we had were addressed quickly. We cannot quit talking about how comfortable the beds were. We are looking at booking now for next year. Thanks for sharing your property with us.
Pros: Lovely beachfront with private walkway over dunes, coud leave chairs and toys at the end of walkway so didn't have to haul them in every time. Screened porch with swing so perfect for beach-gazing we didn't even mind rainy weather; able to enjoy the sea in all its moods. Lots of toys/chairs left in the garage by previous guests (we left three umbrellas) so we only had to buy a few beach things. Just enough room for 8 adults and 4 kids. Driveway/garage perfect for cornhole or lots of parking. Groceries and alcohol delivered by Publix, so no need to leave once we got there. Outstanding communication with management. Comfy beds, lots of towels.
Cons: House a little more dated than listing shows, but, hey, it's a beach house. No ventilation for stove, had to open windows when cooking bacon, which let in hot air and flies. Boardwalk to beach is old and splintery. Several of us got bloody toes (because we shucked our shoes when we arrived and didn't put any on until we left). Nails popping up on the deck/boardwalk are a hazard -- either replace with screws or supply a hammer. We used driftwood to pound them down. Also, spindles loose or missing on railings. These are not as much complaints as just letting the management know about needed repairs. I owned a house at the beach and it's much harder to keep up than a house anywhere else. Overall, it's in good shape.
A fabulous place for a family beach vacation. I would stay here again.
This house checked all the boxes. Staying right on the beach was great! There was plenty of spaces inside and on the porch for our group to hang out together comfortably. We would rent this place again.
