Delightful!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Barefoot Bungalow. The location is great, and we could watch the ocean waves right from the front deck with a cup of morning coffee or a glass of wine after dinner. It had everything we needed and then some for a comfortable stay. I can see how this place would be perfect for big families.

Our MN Escape
We totally enjoyed our 24-day stay. This was our 5th time on the island. This house was spacious enough to host our kids and grandkids (13 total) for a week's visit and the price was wonderful. We loved being on the Gulf side and sitting on the deck in the mornings and enjoying the ocean view with our mimosas. Thank you for a great stay!! Steve & Jean V

Perfect location, lots of space!
We really enjoyed our stay at Barefoot Bungalow. There was plenty of beds for our large family. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and utensils. The beach is so close. And since it’s not a public beach, it was not crowded at all- we loved that! Restaurants are only a few minutes away, too!

Great location, great price.
House is in a great location, very close to the beach. Plenty of beds and sleeping arrangements for the whole family. Some things inside the house were a little dated or had signs of prolonged use, kitchenware and cooking instruments could use replacing, but over all a great stay for the price point. Usually houses that close to the beach are more expensive so the overall value is really good. Thank you!

Nice quiet place close to the beach
Everything was as described. Big porch. Plenty of room inside. Just a very short walk to a nice, uncrowded beach. Would definitely stay there again. One suggestion - If the area under the house was cleaned out, there’s potential to have a nice covered area for cooking or relaxing in the shade.

Awesome Bungalow!
Great property close to the beach. My favorite was hanging out at night on the covered porch talking with my family. Owners are incredibly responsive and open to things that may need attention. We loved it and the 5 bedrooms made it so accommodating for our large family. Super family friendly….met some wonderful new friends across the street.

Family Christmas
I wanted to make memories instead of giving gifts for Christmas so I took my two kids, their spouses and my 5 grandchildren the week before Christmas. Easy walk to the beach, best view of the sunset and loved sitting on the porch watching the sunrise and listening to the ocean. There were lots of things to do close by and we had a great time making those memories. Thanks Jason and Carla, hope to stay again.
