"We had a wonderful experience at Barefoot Bungalow! The location is fantastic, with beautiful Gulf views and easy access to the beach. The house was spacious and comfortable for our family of nine, and we loved being able to spend time together and enjoy the island.Unfortunately, our vacation was cut short due to a mandatory hurricane evacuation, but what truly stood out was how amazing our hosts, Jason and Carla, were throughout the entire situation. They were incredibly kind, proactive, and communicative, keeping us informed and making our family’s safety their top priority. They also went above and beyond to help us navigate the unexpected early departure and reimbursement process.Although we didn’t get the full vacation we had hoped for, we made some wonderful memories during our time there. We are already looking forward to returning next October!We highly recommend Barefoot Bungalow, not only for the beautiful location and accommodations, but especially for the outstanding hospitality. Thank you, Jason and Carla, for everything!"

"We loved our visit to Dauphin Island! The beach house is beautiful, spacious and the views were unbeatable. The house was clean when we arrived and though some of the interior didn’t match the pictures, I think the changes, especially the navy couch was a great improvement and much more practical. I can’t comment on communication with the host since I never had to get in touch with Kristen. We never had any issues and all communication regarding check in/out was through a single VRBO email. The only improvement I feel needs to be addressed is the kitchen. The cabinets were badly chipped and not closing properly. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the pans need to be replaced since the “non-stick” pans were too scratched to be used. We had a wonderful visit and I’d highly recommend."
