A different way to own the coast

Not a timeshare. Not a rental pool. A deeded coastal home that is genuinely yours.

Reimagined cottages in an established community. Barefoot has spent years as one of Port St. Joe's most-loved places to stay, and its reimagined Phase II cottages are now being sold individually, one buyer at a time. Live in it, summer in it, or hold it as a rental. Either way, you own a real piece of the Forgotten Coast, at a price the waterfront cannot touch.

The value

Waterfront here sells from $799k. Own the same coast starting at $259,919.

Port St. Joe's median sale price is about $449k. Barefoot starts well below it.
Floor Plans & Pricing

Four floor plans. Forty-eight cottages.

Every cottage is a detached, individually deeded home with its own porch. HOA dues are $250 a month for every plan, billed quarterly.

Gross yield is annual rent divided by the starting price for that plan, before HOA dues of $250 a month, taxes, insurance, management, maintenance and vacancy. It is not a projection of your return, and past rents do not guarantee future rents. The community sits in FEMA Flood Zone AE, so lenders will require flood insurance.
The Village

Resort amenities, and they are all yours.

Roughly eighteen gated acres in an established, well-kept community. The $250 monthly HOA covers the lot.

The Location

On Florida's Forgotten Coast, where the crowds are not.

Port St. Joe sits on St. Joseph's Bay, between Panama City and Apalachicola. It is the part of the panhandle that never got built up, which is exactly why people keep coming back. St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, out at the end of Cape San Blas, is about 33 minutes away.

Good to Know

Questions buyers ask.

Do I actually own the home and the land?
Yes. Each cottage is an individually deeded, detached home, an asset you own outright rather than a condo, fractional or timeshare interest. Ownership structure is confirmed per home at listing.
What would my monthly payment be?
With 20 percent down, a Barefoot cottage can start around $1,369 a month in principal and interest. Ask us and we will connect you with a local lender for exact terms. Estimates exclude taxes, insurance and the $250 monthly HOA, and are not a loan offer.
What are the HOA dues, and what do they cover?
HOA dues are $250 per month for every cottage regardless of floor plan, billed quarterly. Dues cover the gated entry, pools, hot tub, fitness center, grounds and shared amenities. The full inclusion list is provided at listing.
Can I rent my cottage? Are short-term rentals allowed?
Many cottages in the community are rented today, and the investor section above shows what they currently earn. Rental rules, including short-term and vacation rentals, are set by the community's governing documents. Ask us and we will send the current rental policy.
Who can manage my cottage as a rental?
Owners are free to choose their own manager. Local companies offering rental management include Renting the Coast and Pristine Properties. These companies are independently owned and are not affiliated with Barefoot Cottages.
How many cottages are available?
The community has forty-eight cottages: 24 Plan A, 2 Plan B, 18 Plan C and 4 Plan D. They are released for sale in stages rather than all at once. The cottages available to buy today are shown above with their prices. Ask to be notified and we will reach out as each group is released.
Where exactly is the community?
On West Highway 98 in Port St. Joe, about eight minutes from downtown and the marina, ten minutes from the Gulf beach at Beacon Hill, twenty minutes from the Gulf beaches at Cape San Blas and about thirty-three minutes from St. Joseph Peninsula State Park. Drive times are approximate.
What about financing and insurance?
Conventional, second-home and investment financing are all available, and we can point you to local lenders. The community sits in FEMA Flood Zone AE, so lenders will require flood insurance alongside wind and homeowners coverage. We can connect you with a local insurance broker for a current quote on a specific cottage.
