Loved It!

We loved our time at Barefoot Bungalow! The view from the deck SPECTACULAR! The house is exactly as described. It was exceptionally clean, with a very well stocked kitchen, open living areas with plenty of space, and comfy beds. The location is wonderful. Just steps from the private beach and walking distance from many Island venues. Carla and Jason are fabulous hosts who respond promptly to any questions. Also, they have provided extras to add to your stay such as, beach towels, beach chairs & toys, games, etc. I would highly recommend staying at Barefoot Bungalow.

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

About the host

Hosted by Carla and Jason

Host profile image
We have moved all over the country the last 21 years and have settled in Olive Branch, MS. We experienced Dauphin Island a couple of years ago and instantly fell in love with the small beach town. We were so excited when the opportunity presented itself for us to purchase a Gulf Front home on the island. We have a 12 and 15 year old daughters who are active in sports and love biking all over the island. Our dogs, Wrigley and Frank, love to sunbathe on the deck, watch pelicans, and splash in the ocean (with a leash on, of course)

Why they chose this property

We are so excited to share our family's vacation home with you. We hope you love Dauphin Island as much as we do. This home give us time away from our everyday life to unplug and enjoy our time together. We all enjoy swimming, beach volleyball, biking, and walking through the bird sanctuary. We hope staying in our home gives you the same opportunity to spend time with your friends and family.
