About Barefoot Paradise

Barefoot Paradise is a private beach home located on the west end of Panama City Beach, close to the Gulf, local restaurants, shopping, outdoor recreation, and the communities along Scenic Highway 30A. It offers the space and privacy of a home while keeping guests within easy reach of the beach and popular Panama City Beach attractions.

The home is designed for relaxed coastal vacations without the elevators, crowded hallways, and limited outdoor space that often come with a large condominium resort.

A Panama City Beach Vacation Home for the Whole Family

Barefoot Paradise works especially well for families and groups who want more room than a hotel or condo can provide. Guests can prepare meals in the kitchen, relax on the porch, soak in the hot tub, enjoy the fenced yard with their dogs, or use the golf cart for convenient neighborhood transportation.

Because this is a real locally owned home, the property is maintained with both guest comfort and long-term care in mind. Our goal is straightforward: provide a clean, comfortable, well-equipped place where guests can enjoy Panama City Beach and feel at home during their stay.
