Thank you so much for choosing my place, Katie! It was such a delight to host you and your friends! Please come back again soon. You are always welcome!
This unit was very clean upon arrival and the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials. I love that its within walking distance to the beach, and plenty of restaurants on the strip. Will return for our annual Destin trip.
We love our stay and will definitely be booking again! Having our dogs with us was our number one priority and they exceeded our expectations of accommodations.

Elizabeth, it was a pleasure hosting you! I’m so happy you had a great stay with your furry family included!
March was great with getting us into the property when our flight was changed. Had some issues with the AC, but her handyman was in and out while we were at the beach.
We loved staying here! It’s in the perfect location! The beach is private so it’s not as packed as the other areas of the beach. We’ve been to Destin many times and this trip has been our favorite. Mariah is a gracious hostess and is checking on you the entire time to make sure you’re happy. Can’t wait to be back!!

Julie was an absolute pleasure to host! She and her family kept the condo so clean, respected all of the house rules, and was such a delight to interact with. I look forward to hosting Julie any time!
The only real complaint we have is that the beach access does not have a ramp, and this would be helpful to know in the description. Home was clean and had all the amenities needed. Host is very responsive.

About the host
Hosted by Mariah Myers
I am a physical therapist and I have always dreamed of having a beach house! Barefoot Bliss is that dream come true. I have a background in hospitality and have always loved service-oriented jobs. Here’s to everyone enjoying vacation to its fullest!
Why they chose this property
My family and I love to be active on our vacations and relax. Barefoot Bliss offers it all: heated pool all year long to float and soak up the sun; beach within a 3 minute walk to sit out and play in the water or enjoy the calming sound and sight of the waves; dolphin watching; snorkeling and scuba diving; biking or walking to the down town; Capt'n Daves restaurant just across the street; and a tranquil spot to put our feet up at the end of a wonderful day! Destin is the perfect town for families, couples, and single people alike. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Cheers!
