This was our second year at this property. It is perfect for us. The location, the cleanliness , the amenities are all just great. Our 4 yr old grandson asked to go back to the same place. He loves the pool, the “sand lot” (fenced in play area) and the sand box. The distance to the beach is wonderful. You can even see some of the ocean from the back deck. So easy to just open the door, the upper deck gate and just let the dogs out. No walking them needed. We really enjoyed our stays at Barefoot Retreat! Thank you for sharing this property !

Great host with fast responses to questions. Pool was amazing. Very clean rooms. Very short walk to the beach. We appreciated the various gates outside; they gave us peace of mind that if our dogs did get out, they wouldn't get far. Plenty of activities in case the kids got bored (swings, cornhole, sandbox, etc.). We could have used a few more towels.

The house was super warm and inviting. I especially loved the gate system - it is perfect for kids and pets. The house sits behind some bushes and trees and that really helps you to feel isolated, while still being so close to the center of town.

The MOST dog friendly house we’ve had on the island in 25years. Owners have thoughtfully designed the outdoor play yard with double gates for easy rinse off, gated porch for safe lounging, to the dog bowls & beds inside. Beyond impressive and super clean. Thank you for sharing this beauty with our family!

Why they chose this property

We came to SGI for a family vacation in June of 2017. We were looking for a pet friendly beach so we could bring Annie and Oakley our Brittany spaniels. Funny story it was our 35th wedding anniversary and my husband forgot. So i teased him all week about giving me a beach house. It was one of the best family vacations I can remember. We all fell in love with the island and fortunately we were able to purchase a lot and build the beach house we have always dreamed of. We were scheduled to close the day Michael hit. Some very nervous hours but we were blessed and had no damage. Well built house! Thank you David Duncan! We have already made wonderful memories here and look forward to many years of enjoying our house with family and friend. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We are located 2nd tier but have a very nice beach view, a short walk to the beach and a two block walk to the bay where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets. The bike path is at our driveway and leads into town. Walk or ride a bike to nearby restaurants or visit lighthouse park. Bring your dog and let them enjoy a day on the beach with you. Well behaved dogs are welcome at most restaurants and bars on SGI and in nearby Apalachicola.
