Guest Reviews
- Jayson (10/5): - This was my second stay at this place. Great location, great staff and great owners. I highly recommend this place!
- PETER (10/5): - Our stay at Barefoot Bay was an exceptional one and provided a genuine beach feel! The property is very clean and well kept. Stacey, the owner, is superb and welcoming, and the location on the water with the marina across the street, and the pier and beach just a short walk away is ideal. We truly enjoyed our time here and look forward to staying here again when we visit Clearwater Beach.
- Susan (8/5): - Close to Pier 60 and shops
- craig (10/5): - The owner of BareFoot Bay, treats her quests like family. She is the sweetest person I have ever met running a Motel. You can't beat the price either. I have been coming there for the past 12 years and plan to go back again.
- Elisabeth (8/5): - Standard motel with friendly staff very clean and fun location.
- ROBERT (10/5): JULY 4th WEEKEND GETAWAY - Excellent value in a great location close to all that Clearwater Beach has to offer. Friendly staff, immaculate room plus free parking. Highly recommend!
- RYAN (10/5): - This was my second time staying here and it was great again. staff was nice and its in a great spot.
- Charles (10/5): - It’s a tiny older motel. But if you’re looking for a place to lay your head at night, surrounded by the best amenities, any full-scale resort has to offer. This is the place. It’s a small pool, and there were never more than six people in it whenever we were here. Food and shopping are within 400 feet, including boat rentals, JetSki rentals, fishing off the pier, an entire beach, an ice cream shop, ten world-class bars, and some world-class blowup romper room Disneyland for the kids. If you forget something, there’s a two-story Walgreens 100 feet from the motel with everything you could possibly need. We met the owner/Parking enforcement and she is one of the nicest people you could ever meet.
- Kevin (10/5): - Excellent location for downtown sights.
- Graham (10/5): Amazing place to stay - This place was absolutely amazing. It is clean fun friendly can’t ask for a better place to stay literally right there at the bay and the beach would highly recommend to anyone looking to have a great time with Family or friends
- Jan (10/5): - I like the convenience of it's location, middle of everything and it's unique style plus great staff.
- Cynthia (10/5): - Super clean and very walkable to the beach and main avenue. Stacey is accommodating and pleasant; love the fresh towels at the pool ❤️ We will definitely return. Thank you!
- kristine (10/5): - We had an amazing stay here. Hotel owner is amazing and she is so personable! We will definitely stay here again!
- Justin (10/5): - Everything was good
- Javier (2/5): - They claim to be a marina and they have no access to marina. I ask the same day I booked to cancel my reservation Because they don’t have the marina. But they are all about the money and didn’t want to cancel, I was forced to stay there with my truck & vessel and they didn’t have parking for me & my trailer. They Send me to parking & pay $10 hr four the time of my stay. Completely a bad experience
- Wendy (10/5): - Great place!!!
- peter (10/5): Recommend super nice relaxing - Amazing and nice place Recommend
- Tommy (8/5): - Room was nice and had everything you would need. Check in was quick and easy. Gave a lot of information on area and dining options. Easy walk to the beach, restaurants, and shopping.
- Christina (8/5): - Very quaint resort right by the water. Great for families & great laid back beach vibe resort. Will definitely stay again!
- Matthew (10/5): - Great place! Clean, friendly, convenient
- Patricia (10/5): Pat Kongkousonh - We enjoyed our stay. The very best feature of the hotel is location. It’s only a short walk of less than 5 mins to the beach and to the shopping and restaurants on Mandalay. It’s hard to find parking in the area so having a free parking spot at the hotel and being able to walk to the beach easily is handy. Also there odd a 24 hr Walgreens next door and that odd handy as well for any Owens forget at home. They have a very large selection of beach related items too such as sunscreen, beach chairs and umbrellas and floaties, flip flops and toys to make playing in the sand fun. Their odds just 1 person working ( that I could see) at the hotel from 8-6. He was very nice and helpful. Very accommodating and able to answer questions about the surrounding areas. The hotel itself can be described as quaint/cute with a beach house bungalow feel. Rooms are simple and not too large but ours did include a full size fridge, micro and kitchenette. Bathroom OS pretty small but was very clean. The room is clean as well but nothing fancy. We enjoyed hanging out on the pool deck//patio area and pool towels are provided. The weather was a bit cool for swimming but we did get in the pool once though chilly. My 18yp daughter loves this “it’s so cute” hotel. Again, nothing fancy, but gray location, great staff and free parking which is difficult to find in the area. We would definitely stay again if in the area.
- Wayne (8/5): - Great location on CWB, near stores and dining.
- John (10/5): - Very nice area,quant, beach walking distance, dock & jetski tours available. Very cool clean place.
- Scott (10/5): Nice, clean, friendly motel in great location - This is a nice, clean, friendly motel with a small but nice pool and amazingly friendly owner and staff. It reminds me of the nice little independently owned motels I used to stay in when I traveled with my parents many years ago. The best thing about this place is that it is just a four minute walk to the beach and to everything Clearwater Beach has to offer. There’s a 24 hour Walgreens across the street, and you can sit and look out over the marina. Considering the prices in Clearwater Beach, this is an incredible value!!!!! For the price of a four minute walk, you’re saving hundreds of dollars over hotels that are on the beach.
- Nicole (10/5): - Property is beautiful, it is well kept, our room was very clean. We loved the property's location on the water and close walking proximity to everything from restaurants/bars, stores, Pier 60 and the beach. We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back soon.
- Mansi (4/5): - Overall a meh… experience and not worth the $250 plus per night charge. Bed sheets were old and fuzzy, rough on the skin, curtains were short and insufficient to cover the window. I was uncomfortable in a room where someone could peak in and light was coming through at night. No working outlets. Finally had to move furniture to get behind and use one of the lamp outlet. The carpet was old. Cleaniless was okay. The concierge was helpful. Location is good but there are other hotels in the surrounding areas. I would not be staying here again. Rates were too high for what the place offered.
- Deborah (10/5): A True Gem in Clearwater! - We LOVED our stay! Stacey the owner was a pure delight and the location was ideal!
- Theresa (10/5): - Staff was very friendly and helpful to us while we were there! Nice little quiet place with parking and extremely walkable to anywhere! Coffee and pot, toaster, microwave and fridge along with a set of dishes was convenient. Pool was warm and clean. Nice dock to sit on and fish from if you wanted. We loved this small place! Great bargain for the price and location!
- Benjamin (10/5): - Excellent location, clean room, and great value.
- Keith (10/5): - Perfect location!
- Melisa (10/5): - We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with this well kept, quaint little place. The room was clean, bed was very comfortable. We could walk to all shops, restaurants, and the beach within 10 minutes. Our only complaint was the shower was tiny.
- Cheryl (10/5): - Great stay. Really nice place. I’ll be back!
- Katrina (10/5): - We love the location and have stayed here a few times. It is conveniently located within walking distance to the pier and several great restaurants. The 2 bedroom with full kitchen is perfect size for our family of 5.
- Antissa (10/5): - We had a wedding on a yacht in the marina. Barefoot Bay is right across the street. It was cute, clean, comfortable and Stacey was a joy. Id stay here again in a heartbeat.
- rob (10/5): - Excellant spot. Facility clean everywhere. Staff accomodating entire time. Will stay again
- William (10/5): Weekend trip - Great location, not overcrowded, nice amenities
- Matt (10/5): - Great little stay. Just the one night for me & my family, would have been nice to stay a bit longer. Room was comfortable, parking was convenient and the hotel was in a nice location. Also good to meet Stacey (one of the owners) all the way from Yorkshire (UK). And after 20 years of being in the US, she hasn't lost her accent. If we ever come back we'd love to stay with you again. Thank you - The Ford Family.
- Nancy (10/5): - Property was reasonably priced and the free parking was excellent! The unit was also very clean. Walkable to the beach and main strip.

- Victoria (10/5): Great place to stay - Stacy at the front desk Elena’s very kind super friendly and helpful We had a waterfront room with 2 beds and it was large and comfortable it had a nice kitchenette area with table.

- CHERYL (10/5): - Excellent place to stay, if you want quiet and relaxation!!
- Grant (10/5): Great place to stay. - It was so central to everything and all the hotel people were so friendly!
- Irina (10/5): Clean, walkable to everywhere, good for the price - The location of this hotel is perfect. We parked the car and never used it until we were ready to leave. It is in the middle of everything, and a quick and easy walk to any restaurant or bar. There is a Walgreens next-door in case you forgot anything. The only real problem with this hotel is the size of the bathroom. If you are a larger person, you might not fit into the shower, or even get into it. Please see attached pictures. I am an average sized person, and had to turn sideways to be able to squeeze into the shower. The length of my hips fit perfectly between the sink and the wall, see picture.
- lucille (10/5): - Wi-Fi kept going out. Everything else was super
- Raul O. (10/5): - Overall, everything was excellent. Raul
- Tarryce (10/5): - Simple check in, staff was very accommodating, view was awesome and even has a dock that over looks the water
- Verified traveler (10/5): - What a wonderful location and staff is friendly. Walk to back deck to view marina or walk across the street to Clearwater beach. Fyi for others the shower is small, but was fine for me. Room was awesome
- Jakob (10/5): - This place is a perfect little bungalow for a couples retreat. The small pool is great to relax by and everything is witching walking distance so you don’t need a vehicle. I would just say expect the rooms to be on the smaller side but that is just fine for a two person trip. Highly recommend and will definitely be back again!!
- Anne (10/5): Fab location - I’ve stayed her a few times and it’s always been great Fab location and very helpful staff
- james (10/5): - We wanted a local “staycation” to end the summer. This place was cozy and convenient. Clean and friendly. Couldn't ask for more. Close to all the action on Mandalay and Pier 60. My son counted 600 steps from hotel to fun.
- Dheily (8/5): - Found a great place through Expedia that was dated but very pleasant to stay at. Greg at Barefoot Bay was very nice and helpful. The room was really clean and pleasant to stay. The time away from the beach we spent at the pool (hidden gem). Although the property is dated, it is clean, nicely decorated, and worth the price to enjoy its comfort.
- David (10/5): - Easy access to Clearwater, great parking and access
- Shelly (10/5): - What a great stay, was able to check in early and do everything we wanted to do within walking range. The owners were so Accommodating, just what I needed traveling with my special needs son. The room, very cute, exactly like the pictures, and the view, like a postcard, really! We will absolutley be back.
- David (10/5): Can't wait to return!! My new favorite place <3 - Walking into our room was like entering a tropical themed apartment, not a typical hotel room. I loved the colors, style, and attention to comfortable bedding. The sofa bed was a happy surprise, even though my 14 yo daughter was ready to sleep on the comfy couch. We never heard the traffic from Rt 60. Everything is within walking distance, from the Clearwater Aquarium and Publix to the 24-hr Walgreens next door, shop on the avenue and the Marina Cantina shopping/restaurant complex across the street. Once we parked at check-in, our car didn't move until after we checked out. Added Bonus, within 30 minutes of checking in - my daughter spotted a dolphin in the waterway 50 yds past the hotel. I will stay here my next trip to Clearwater - the only change I'll make, I'm bringing our bicycles and paddleboards. Much thanks to the owner of this hotel gem!! Jenn Z.
- Jaylon (8/5): - The property is really cute and right in the middle of everything that was fun and exciting.
- Katrina (8/5): - The property was nicely located and pretty clean. The bedding needs to be replaced with newer blankets and pillows. They have seen better days.
- debra (10/5): - The property was convenient to the beach and great places to eat, located next to a clean 24-hour store, clean in the rooms and around the pool and rest of the property, felt safe. Staff was friendly and parking included. Excellent experience at the price for a prime location.
- Jay (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff. Easy parking and walkable to the marina, shops, restaurants, and beach. Very reasonable rates for this area.
- Heather (10/5): Great place - Great place to stay. Clean, close to beach, has kitchenette, decently priced. Excellent service too. I would definitely stay here again.
- kara (8/5): - The word “ resort” in the name is a major overstatement. It is a motel. You can not beat the location- closed to everything on Clearwater Beach, just off the bridge and across from the beach. Very helpful and friendly personnel. Rooms need some updates…bed covers- clean but old and rugged , the couch seen better days, cracked ceiling in the bathroom etc. A big plus was the back deck facing the marina.-look for the dolphins.
- Leann (10/5): Best place in cwb for the $ - Fantastic from the minute we arrived. Extremely clean. Inviting. The pool was great. Not packed with people. Lots of pool chairs. Great deck out back with chairs.. great for watching the dolphins that come thru. The rooms were perfect with everything you need. The beds were the most comfortable in cwb.. the couches were amazingly comfortable to sit and watch the water view. All around great place with the friendliest staff ever
- Richard (10/5): - Location
- michele (10/5): - The owner and staff were absolutely great ! Very accommodating. The resort and rooms were very clean, I loved it there and definitely will stay again !!
- Sam (10/5): - relative location to a lot of fun places. quiet area on back dock to view sunrise. very courteous staff.
- Leah (8/5): - Awesome property! Great location. Staff super friendly and helpful.
- Kalpana (6/5): - Hotel experience was ok. They should definitely invest in new bed sheets bed covers pillows mattress and comforter. Also carpet floor in the room holds a lot of moisture from the beach and has a pungent smell
- Andrew (8/5): - I stayed here for just two days at the tail end of a week long vacation. For all the traffic rolling down the causeway (frequent ambulances) I found my particular room tucked in the corner and facing the marina to be quite pleasant and comfy with the sound of mostly seagulls. If you're all about the Clearwater Beaches and watersports, this is a very convenient spot. Stay was friendly and accommodating. From time to time there was a rumble of noise from incoming guest late at night but nothing too bothersome. All in all, a great stay.
- Dawn Michele (10/5): - it was beautiful I would stay there again the property had a great view everything was right there amazing
- Carlie (10/5): - I will definitely book Barefoot Bay Resort & Marina for my next trip to Clearwater. It is a small resort that is very clean and comfy. It is within walking distance to the beach. The trolley stops right outside the property. We were welcomed warmly and even helped to the second floor with our luggage. I was leery at first to select the place, but once I arrived I was very happy about our choice! I highly recommend!
- Douglas (8/5): - Cute clean place. Rather small but nice.
- rockne (10/5): - Very nice and clean place. Walking distance to the beach and Pier 60. We enjoyed the pool too. Great places to eat. Motel staff very hospitable and accommodating.
- Donald (8/5): - Close to the beach without close to the beach prices
- Stephen (6/5): - Room was small for the price. The TV was situated so really couldn't see it from the bed or the couch. I would suggest a swivel platform. IT was very clean with new paint. We had a window looking to street that was facing a streetlight. They had a double shade that would have been nice to know about the night before. The pool "looked" dirty. We were never told what to do with the key. So, when we left, we called the overnight number, and no one answered. Thank goodness it wasn't a big problem.
- Cheryl (8/5): Fishing getaway - This was our second time staying at Barefoot Bay. It's a cute little hotel in a great location. It's centrally located on Clearwater Beach so you can walk to the beach, marina, the aquarium, and most of the shops and restaurants. We were even able to fish for a little while on the bay side of the resort. We stayed in the smallest room which was perfect for two people, although the shower stall is tiny. While we were there the weather was COLD and the room was chilly until we discovered the space heater in the closet. Our only complaint about this place is a lot of light comes in from the street while the blinds are closed, but considering that this place was about $80 less than the other hotels in the area it's a small price to pay.
- Matthew (10/5): - The owners are fabulous. My wife and son absolutely loved this place. We stay here for a week and the location is amazing. Easy to walk to restaurants, the pier and shops. I have seen reviews of people complaining that it’s out dated, really?? You are just staying there to sleep. When you are in Clearwater why are you sitting in the hotel? Go to the beach or swim in the nice pool. We will definitely be back as this is a hidden gem.
- John (10/5): Great place to stay - Wonderful clean place to stay. Close to many restaurants and the beach. The friendly owners made it feel like a family atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again.
- Raelynn (10/5): - Stacey was very helpful and nice
