Barefoot Bay - Life's Better Barefoot!

Barefoot Bay, located in Hope Town on the southern end of Elbow Cay in the Abacos, Bahamas, is a newly renovated oceanfront beach house, designed for up to three families or six couples. It's located near Tahiti Beach in Dorros Cove. It accommodates up to 16 guests featuring six bedrooms and four bathrooms. It has two master bedrooms. Each master is en suite, with another bathroom for the remaining bedrooms. All new furniture and appliances, including two refrigerators in the kitchen to make sure your food and beverages have plenty of room to stay cold. Each refrigerator has an ice maker as well. There is a gas grill (propane included). We also have a back up generator that powers the entire house so you're never without power. There's also a reverse osmosis water maker to make sure you always have water.

Barefoot Bay overlooks the southern end of Elbow Cay - beautiful island views and awesome sunsets over the Sea of Abaco. It has 3 separate pods - two with bedrooms/bathrooms and one with a kitchen/living area. It also has a pool overlooking the Sea of Abaco and Atlantic Ocean. It is a short walk or ride to the world famous Tahiti Beach on the southern tip of the island. There's also a private boat slip included, located at the dock at Tahiti Beach. The boat slip is 11' wide, so a 10' or less beam is recommended so your boat will comfortably fit in the slip. An additional slip may be available if needed. It fits a boat with up to a 13' beam and is $100/day. Please let us know if you're interested in reserving the additional slip.

Our caretakers will pick you up at the dock, make sure you have everything you need while staying at Barefoot Bay, and make sure you get back to the dock/ferry safely when departing.

We also have a sister property, Barefoot Beach, located just a 5 minute walk away. It is a six bedroom, 4 bathroom property that sleeps up to sixteen people, as well. It is also featured on VRBO.

We enjoyed every minute of our vacation Quite frankly from the moment we booked it...once we arrived...and until the moment we left. It was an incredible location, a beautiful house, with a perfect set up for all ages! It was a spectacular vacation. We can't wait to get back to Barefoot Bay! Thank you for an amazing vacation with our family and some of our dearest friends!

Spectacular Views
I’m just going to list all the great things about this stay. First class hosts with Brandon and Jess who met us at the private dock near the house to unload us. Basically a brand new home post Dorian. Views of Abaco Sea and Atlantic Ocean right outside your door. Constant sea breeze. Two refrigerators were perfect for the food to feed 10 adults and 2 kids. Pool was spotless. Crows nest had views never to be forgotten. Best part was the 3 separate pods which gave privacy but gave us great family time in the center pod. We never turned on the TV. Note there is a new bar in the center of the pods for Happy Hours. Highly recommend

Christmas in Paradise
We enjoyed an amazing week with family at Barefoot Bay during the Christmas/New Year holiday. I have been renting properties in Elbow Cay for over a decade and this is our favorite one yet. The house is very comfortable and cozy and well appointed. There were plenty of linens, towels, and kitchen items (including 2 refrigerators) which was a big plus with our large group. Loved the layout with the separate pods, the pool and the crows nest. The caretakers were extremely responsive and took good care of us. I highly recommend and we will rent again.

Great House, Great View, Great Location
This is our second time at Barefoot Bay. First time back since hurricane Dorian. The place is still awesome. Plenty of room with 6 bedrooms. Excellent great room with kitchen and TV. Lovely pool. The boat dock is a must and comes with the house. Just a short cart ride away. We will be back again.

Barefoot Bay was the perfect stay
Excellent all around, amazing views of Tahiti Beach, close to docks, east golf cart ride away from restaurants. The house setup was perfect for our two families (teens and adults). Gorgeous house and very comfortable. House is fully stocked with kitchen, towels and linens, pool in was perfect. Brandon and Jess were so helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had.

Barefoot Bay ‘22
This was an excellent property for our large family of all ages. We had the best view on the island. We loved the set up of the house with the family room pod in the middle which allowed early risers and late nighters to enjoy their time without waking others. The care takers could not have been more helpful. This property made for a 5 Star week.!
