This is our 4th time at Barefoot. We love it, cozy, quiet, comfortable, and near perfect. All the units we have stayed in are set up very similar. We stayed in #21 this past week. Very relaxing and clean. Property Owner was responsive to our inquires. I liked that it was privately owned also. Personal touch.
