A different way to own the coast

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

Barefoot Cottages has spent years as one of Port St. Joe's most-loved communities. The owners are now selling the cottages individually, one buyer at a time. Live in it, summer in it, or hold it as a proven rental. Either way, you own a real piece of the Forgotten Coast, at a price the waterfront cannot touch.

The value

Waterfront here runs $750k to $1.3M+. Own the same coast starting at $270,400.

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

Four floor plans. Forty-eight cottages. One release.

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, built in 2007 and maintained ever since. 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.

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 $1,425 a month in principal and interest. Request the price sheet 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.
How many cottages are available?
The community has forty-eight cottages: 24 Plan A, 18 Plan C, 4 Plan D and 2 Plan B. They are released for sale in stages rather than all at once. Two are released and available to buy today, shown above with their prices, and a third has already sold. Ask to be notified and we will reach out as each group is released.
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.
