Repeat customer

This was our second time staying at Barefoot Bungalow. As with the first time, Carla and Jason were very easy to work with and included some very appreciated "extras" for our stay. We discovered the coffee maker was not working during our stay, but the hosts were very responsive and we had a new coffee pot within an hour or so. The house is fantastic with lots of space and close to the beach. We love that it is dog friendly and has a large enclosed deck for them to spend time just enjoying the sights and sounds with us. The dining room table is HUGE which is great for our family to use for playing a variety of card games in the evening. Thank you Carla and Jason for allowing us to share your home!

Excellent in every way!

We had an absolutely amazing time staying at this house. The hosts were super quick at responding, the house was very spacious, and was honestly even better than the pics! Location was fantastic, there were tons of things stocked in the shed for us to use, they even had a booster chair and pack n’ play that were not listed. Would absolutely recommend and stay again!

What an AMAZING place

This was a great family vacation. The house is described and presented as expected. Highlights: private beach 100 yards from the deck, owners give you chairs and some great beach toys for the kids, restaurants and bars are very close by, evenings on the deck in those rockers is priceless and the Island is amazing. We are planning to book again next year.

Great beach stay!

Great home on the beach. We had 8 people in the home...4 generations of family ranging from pre-teen to 80s. The two bedrooms on the main floor were were perfect for the elders, and plenty of additional space in the 3 bedrooms upstairs. We cooked at the house quite a bit, and the kitchen was well stocked for meal preparation. One thing I should have asked and did not was regarding the bathroom configuration since we were traveling with elders. There is no walk in shower and the bathroom downstairs does have a big step over into the tub/shower combo. I was grateful they had a nice hand hold to make it easier for the folks. We loved being able to have our dogs with us, and very nice to have the gate on the deck. Lots of beach toys, bicycles, and beach chairs on property, and we also used the charcoal grill. It rained a little most days we were there and I loved having the covered deck to sit outside in all weather. We spent alot of time in those rocking chairs on the covered deck. This was our first trip to Dauphin Island, and we really enjoyed it. It is a quiet area and perfect for a relaxing time with family. We did visit the aquarium, the bird sanctuary and some of the local shops. Some went fishing and we also took the ferry over to fort morgan. The house is a very short walk to the beach. young fol

Beautiful property with an excellent setup for our group! The house was well stocked with everything we needed for the week. So many games for the kids and lots of room. We had a great week and the owners were amazing. We encounter a small problem and they were available to get us help immediately. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay! I hope we will be back!

3rd Stay!

I’ve reviewed this house the last two times we have stayed and it did not disappoint this stay either! The ages of our group was from 74 to 5 & the close proximity to the beach is one of the reasons we love this house. Everyone can easily walk to and from the beach. We got out a few of the bikes that are beneath the house and rode in the afternoon, which was so much fun! The house is well stocked with everything from blankets, to beach towels, sand toys and chairs (really nice ones). We used the grill, which was a nice Weber charcoal grill. If you’re looking for a fancy, all bright white, new house this may not be your house….but if your looking for practical, family friendly, well stocked house that you can be comfortable in for a week, then look no further. Oh…and it says it is a pet friendly house. We did not bring pets and our son has a dog allergy. We never smelled dog or saw any dog hair. His allergies never acted up, so I felt that spoke volumes to the cleanliness of the home.

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.

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
