We had a great stay at this property! The location is perfect—quiet and away from crowded beaches and heavy traffic. The house is cozy and has a homey feel. The primary bedroom and bathroom were a bit stuffy, even with the fan on and doors open, but the living area stayed nicely cool. We were there for just two nights to test a road trip with our dog, so we didn't use the beach amenities, pool, or cook much. There are fantastic, pet-friendly restaurants at the West End Marina, as well as Watermans and Lil' Buffalo Grill. For grocery needs, Seven Seas Grocery offers a better selection of meat and produce compared to Sea Isle, and it's a bit closer for a quick shopping trip. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing getaway!

With one of our kids working in Michigan and the other currently living in Japan, it's hard to get all 4 of us together in the same place at the same time! But proposing a week at the beach and sharing the link to Barefeet Retreat made it easy! The house was immaculate when we arrived and little touches like small soaps, shampoos, disposable toothbrushes, dishwasher tabs and laundry pods were really nice. We had a very relaxing time. We finished 3 puzzles! And the kitchen had literally every (non food - although there were a few spices and such) appliance and utensil you could ever want or need. The size of the house and the amount of very nice furniture inside and out ensured all of us were always comfortable. I highly recommend this property if you are planning a trip to the beach! And last, but not least, the view from the back deck was spectacular!

Visited the area for the first time with my parents, 2 kids (5 and 8 yr old) and dogs. Great open living area, right on the beach. Beds were comfortable. Section of the beach felt secluded as vehicles aren’t allowed on that area. Don’t bother bringing any beach toys - tons to use there. Property manager was prompt with any inquiries

We had a great stay here! The house was nice and clean and in such a good area. The beach was clean and never crowded. The private walkover to the beach was a nice plus, but it was absolutely swarming with mosquitoes. Even with us running through the path wearing mosquito spray, we all got tons of bites. Of course that’s just nature and no fault of the host’s, but definitely be prepared with some kind of repellent in the summer! We liked that the house was all one level since we had small children with us, and there were toys in the house that entertained them along with the beach toys downstairs! Unfortunately the cargo lift wasn’t working for us, and the master bedroom was significantly warmer during our stay than the rest of the house. Keeping the door to the bedroom open helped a little bit, but we had to keep it shut often because that’s where our baby was sleeping so it stayed pretty warm in there. The cold water handle for the outdoor shower downstairs was completely broken off, so we had to either shower with hot water or just use the water hose to clean our sand off, but the water hose worked fine. Overall we had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the house. Beautiful view through all of the back windows and we loved sitting on the back deck!

If you're ready to relax, this is the place! If I could sum it up in one word, it would be convenience. The convenience of being so close to the beach meant we spent more time there. The isolated floor plan made it so quiet. It is far enough from the seawall to mean less traffic on the road the the beach, but close enough that you didn't have to drive so far to go to restaurants. The hostess is wonderful, and her communication is quick and courteous. We loved it here, and we hope to return soon. This is the nicest place we've found, and my review is merely an echo of so many others who have enjoyed their stay here. Just beautiful.

This house is simply amazing. Accommodating all of our needs. The cleanliness of the house was above my expectations. Of course one of my kiddos forgot there toothbrush but no worries property had several travel size toothbrushes and toothpaste available. Kitchen was immaculate and had all kitchen appliance and utensils we needed. The cargo lift was god sent. We were able to get everything upstairs in one go without the up and down of the stairs. View is amazing and check in and out was very easy and efficient. When I did need to contact property management response was immediate and friendly. Lynn is amazing and provided a beautiful home that exceeded my expectations. It made for a peaceful and wonderful weekend.

We celebrated my mom's 80th birthday with a trip to the beach and this house/location did not disappoint. Phenomenal views, right on the beach, large kitchen, wide open space. The dumbwaiter was the nicest surprise - helped tremendously instead of lugging heavy bags, groceries, etc. up the stairs. Would absolutely recommend and will be our first choice when traveling back to Galveston.

News outlets reported severe weather approaching Galveston on the dates we reserved. There were threats of street flooding and travel alerts for several days ahead of our trip. I tried to get the owners to move our dates to another week, even one with cheaper fees, but we were willing to pay the higher fee that we contracted for. When they decided to respond to me 2 days later, they declined to help us. The weather during our stay was horrendous, and our home town, just north of Houston flooded. We very nearly found ourselves trapped in a drenched rental in Galveston. We threw our money away.

This house was a perfect fit for our family vacation. The house is right on the beach with a great view from the deck. The house was the perfect size to accommodate us plenty of space. The cargo lift made unpacking and packing the car a breeze. We definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a four bedroom beachfront home.

The only thing I didn't like is that they didn't let us park indoors, it was rainy and there was water and mud in the parking lot. Otherwise we really liked the house, it is spacious and comfortable with a very good view of the sea.

Our family was very impress with the open concept with the kitchen and the living room. It was easy to cook and still talk to all family members. The elevator was a great bonus and really helped bring everything upstairs. Everyone loved being so close to the water. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep and eat. Would definitely stay here again. I loved just sitting out on the porch with my tea and watching the sun rising.

Gorgeous open living and giant kitchen. Bedrooms were all comfortable and very clean. The only very minor improvements would be hand towels in the kitchen and some tissues. A hammock on the enormous deck would be a big plus. We have been coming to the island for years and this was the best.

We had a wonderful stay and hope to return. The house is well-maintained, has many windows that provide beautiful views of the beach, and is in a great location. There is an ample supply of beach toys in the storage room that includes a handy wagon to haul them, (my grandkids added some of their’s to the stash when we left). The lift made unloading and loading our luggage and groceries so much easier. This was a three generation family trip, and the seating on the back deck was the perfect place for us to gather and visit in the evenings.

The location is fabulous with easy private beach access. We had young kids with us and it was great to be able to go back to the house for bathroom and snack breaks. The beach was not crowded at all and it was clean. The property itself was also clean. It had a lot of beach stuff including a wagon, chairs, sand toys, and boogie boards. The kitchen was stocked with most of the utensils and appliances you’d need. You’ll need to bring/buy condiments. Only a few things I would change. There were fans in the closets but several didn’t work. The kids room with the bunks didn’t have blackout curtains and the sun literally goes down in that window. If you plan on putting your kids to bed before 9pm you’ll need to figure something out. There is not a TV in one of the bedrooms which is sort of odd. Communication with the host was rocky at first but eventually was fine. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Prefer staying on the west side of the island.This was a plus as the beach was never crowded and being a private beach was wonderful with young children and toddlers. House was as described, a few areas on the house was different than pictures. Master Bedroom is on beach side but has drapes now, it also stays the warmest along with the one other bedroom on that side. Master closet did hold numerous fans and heaters but some need to be trashed as they didn't work. House was clean but needs some repairs, windows are missing screens or some have holes along with sashes peeling from moisture. Kitchen was awesome, held anything you could think of except as stated kitchen towels and only enough dish soap and dishwasher pods for two cycles. They do require you to clean dishes and put up before checkout, not just start dishwasher.Same with washer/dryer only enough for 2 washes. They do provide mini bottles of sundries in bathrooms and that was nice. 12 Bath towels but hand towels were only one each. Downstairs closet was full of beach items, lift was a very thankful helping with luggage and groceries. Balcony on the beach was a pleasure since we had toddlers and they could play and not worry about stairs. Plenty of outdoor seating on balcony and downstairs area for relaxing but watch out on mowed grass, lots of sand burrs. You deal with a manager not a owner on this property. Would stay again. Thank you.

The house and beach access is exactly what you see described here! Communication was just what we needed, the inside of the house was clean and comfortable with a large kitchen that had a lot of room and counterspace. The house has a great outdoor space on the upper deck to relax with the sight and sound of the ocean. Bring mosquito spray, they were awful this time and we weren't prepared!! (this is NOT a property issue, this is because it's summer and Galveston is the swamp.)

The location was amazing. The property was exactly what we wanted with plenty of space. We wish the weather would have worked out for us but it didn't so we didn't get to enjoy the beach much. The space in the house made up for all that. Great home! Would love to stay again in the future.

Lynn’s Bare Feet Retreat was a great place for our family and a few friends to relax just steps from what felt like our own private beach. We were able to watch and listen to the waves from the spacious deck, cook and eat food together in the well-equipped open kitchen/living/dining room, and sleep comfortably. The property and house was as expected from the description, and after reading other reviews about bringing extra kitchen towels (which we did since we’d be cooking a good bit) we had everything we needed during our 4-night stay. Loved how easy it was to walk through the dune to get to the beach and then hop back to the house to grill up some food or enjoy the views from the house. Loved our time there - thank you!
