Barefoot Dreams SCD616 - Pet-friendly beach home with private pool just a short walk to the beach!
WHY GUESTS LOVE THIS PROPERTY Barefoot Dreams is a spacious six-bedroom home on a beach access road with a private pool, parking for up to five vehicles, and the Gulf just 0.2 miles away. With three full floors of living space, two ensuite bedrooms on the top floor, and a pet-friendly policy, this home is built for large groups and families who want room to breathe, a pool to come home to, and the beach practically at their doorstep.
HIGHLIGHTS - Private pool with optional heating available for an additional fee - Just 0.2 miles from the beach on a direct beach access road - Pet friendly for up to 3 pets - Six bedrooms across three floors with parking for up to 5 vehicles - Two third-floor ensuite bedrooms offering added privacy - In-unit washer and dryer for longer stays and large groups
WHAT TO EXPECT Barefoot Dreams delivers the kind of space and flexibility that large groups genuinely need. Three floors of living area give everyone room to spread out, with six bedrooms spread across the levels in a configuration that works well for multi-family trips or groups traveling with multiple generations. The first and second floors offer four queen bedrooms that are well suited for families, while the third floor features two more private retreats — a queen room with a sleeper sofa and ensuite bath, and a king suite with its own ensuite bath — ideal for adults who want a quieter space of their own.
The private pool anchors the outdoor experience and can be heated for those who want a warm swim regardless of the season. A BBQ grill and outdoor lounge area complete the backyard setup for easy cookouts and afternoon relaxation. When you are ready to head to the beach, it is just a short 0.2-mile walk down the beach access road — close enough that multiple trips a day feel completely effortless.

I was impressed with the size of the house, we had more then enough room to accommodate everyone comfortably. The pool area was nice and clean upon arrival, the location of the house was great, the beach is right down the road and you are by the strip so the location was perfect.

Lots of space for our multi generational family to spread out and enjoy. Close to the beach to walk it, but you would have to tear us away from the fantastic private pool in the backyard, which was nicely shaded half of the day. Great house and responsive property management! Would definitely stay here again!!

We have stayed at this house on Labor Day for the past couple of years and this year was one of the best with the improvements made to the house reopening the top deck are you can sit out and enjoy the sunrise and see the ocean from there. It’s been very roomy and the pool is always a great time.

We enjoyed the location with ease for getting to the beach with a golf cart. It was nice to come back and have a pool to enjoy. Having laundry and 4 bathrooms was excellent!!

Thank you for staying at Barefoot Dreams with Port A Escapes!
The house was perfect for our family! The most senior members were able to sleep on the ground floor, limiting what needed to be hauled up and down stairs. The first floor was perfect for a young family of five to have two bedrooms and share a bathroom. The top floor housed a couple and a second couple with an infant, both having their own bathrooms. We could not have asked for a better pool for our young swimmers. The large step area was perfect for all of us getting in and out of the pool. We will happily return!

My grandaughter (age 3) kept saying, " I love this house!" Great accommodations and very close to the beach which was great. Nice fenced yard for the dog. Some minor issues were promptly taken care of which was impressive. Would recommend.
