    This is a very hard place to rate. The people there are very kind and friendly. The location right…read moreon the beach and the view and balcony off the room are awesome! The facilities on the other hand.... The elevator reeks of decaying something, and at times an obscene amount of air freshener in attempts to cover the awful smell. We had to plug our nose riding up to the 5th floor. The safety certificate posted was expired as of 8/1/25. We hoped they just hadn't yet had time to change the certificate in the elevator. There was a screech heard at times in the elevator too, but I was assured by a fellow vacationer that sound is normal... the doors were also smeared with who knows what. Hopefully cleaning solution residue but my hopes are low. There were two elevators for our building but one was out of service. The carpet in the rooms look original and is damp. Our white socks were filthy after minutes, we soon learned to keep our shoes on. I noticed the cushion on the couch was backwards so, like an idiot, I turned it over and there was some sort of brown stain on it. Also dark red/brown spatters on the adjacent wall. Your imagination will run wild considering all the possibilities of the origin of those stains. I took no photos because I didn't want to be in possession of evidence lol! Back to the positive, no bed bugs were seen! However I did dispense quite a bit of Lysol cleaning all the surfaces and spraying down the bed and pillows. I definitely left that room cleaner than when I found it. The towels are old, thin, and don't do much but scratch your skin. However they bring you fresh towels every day! Never ran out of anything, the staff were great. We did come back from the beach one day and the room key wasn't working and we had to wait outside our room in our beachwear with all our things. That was less than ideal but they came and changed the batteries in the lock and all was resolved in about 15-20 minutes. Could have been faster but it got done, and not unreasonably timed, just felt like a long time.

    The staff here was absolutely amazing. Is there a second year returning these, and people came…read morethrough and saved saved us from a from another motel we were staying at. Give us the best rate possible to finish our week out in Panama City. The motel is a little dated, but we absolutely love staying here. The beach is not packed. Have a nice pool and sauna. I would recommend this place to anybody. will be back for our third year next year. I just can't say enough about the staff in this place.

    A Mixed Experience at The Pearl Rooftop Bar…read more We recently visited the Rooftop Bar at The Pearl in Rosemary Beach, and unfortunately, our experience was a real mix of wonderful service and some disappointing lapses in customer service. First, the bright spot was our server, Lauren. She was friendly, attentive, and made excellent drink and food suggestions. She was a pleasure to have as our server and truly represented the level of hospitality you would expect from a Forbes-recognized hotel. The grouper sandwich with fries was wonderful -- I would give the sandwich an 8/10. However, what happened when we ordered it was frustrating. Lauren asked if we would like the sandwich cut in half, and since my husband and I were splitting it, we said that would be great. We were then told that Executive Chef Jordan had instructed the kitchen staff that under no circumstances were they to cut a sandwich in half for a customer. Seriously? For a property known for outstanding service, this was a head-scratcher. We weren't asking for anything complicated or unreasonable -- simply to have a sandwich cut in half and placed on two plates. This is exactly the kind of small gesture that should be part of great hospitality. Instead, the kitchen turned a simple request into an unnecessary customer-service issue. I would give this aspect of the experience a 2/10. There was another issue that seems like an easy fix. My husband asked about the Virtuous Veggie sandwich, which was still listed on the menu. Lauren told us that it had been taken off the menu, along with the Mojo Boiled Peanuts, quite some time ago. Again, for a Forbes-recognized hotel, why are customers still being handed a laminated menu with items that are no longer available? Updating the menu seems like a pretty basic operational detail. Finally, there was the HUGE fan on the deck. We completely understand the need for air movement on a hot day, but this fan was so loud that it sounded like a jet engine taking off. There are much better alternatives. Misters and quieter, effective fans -- like the systems used at places such as Tommy Bahama Restaurants -- can keep guests comfortable without overwhelming the entire dining experience. So, our overall experience was definitely a mixed bag: Grouper sandwich: 8/10 ‍ Kitchen/chef customer service: 2/10 Lauren and our table service: 9/10 Lauren deserves a lot of credit for making our visit enjoyable despite the other issues. She was fantastic. The Pearl has a beautiful setting and the potential to deliver the exceptional experience its reputation promises. But the little things matter -- especially at a luxury property. A chef refusing to allow a sandwich to be cut in half for two guests who are sharing it is simply not the kind of hospitality I would expect from a Forbes-recognized hotel. Hopefully, management will take these comments as an opportunity to look at the guest experience from the customer's perspective. Sometimes the smallest accommodations make the biggest difference.

    This review is about our Barefoot-30A rental of "JUST BEACHY." Our family stayed for 2 weeks at…read morethis home and it was the worst home we have ever stayed at in Florida. The living room and dining room furniture is horribly stained, the upstairs primary bedroom has a problem with bugs and when it rains, the bedroom drapes get soaked. There is broken concrete near the pool steps and a few of our family members got scraped getting in and out of the pool. When looking for reviews on "JUST BEACHY" there are none to be found and there is nowhere on the Barefoot-30A webpage to give a review of this property. This is the reason for writing an honest review. Had we known the shape of this property, we would have never spent our hard-earned money on this place.

Instead of talking to us, they just cancelled it! We called 10 times a day for the three days leading up to the reservation because if we could get our money back we'd still try and go. They never answered, never emailed us back. VRBO couldn't even reach them. We disputed our credit card and guess what? The property manager replies saying we just cancelled. This is crazy. They essentially STOLE our money. $2,500!!! We're still in disputes. It's not even about the money at this point- it's about someone being a terrible human being and being a thief.
