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.

Had a wonderful time! This place is very nice for a family gathering on the beach. Enjoyed our 3-day stay… only wish we could have stayed longer! Will definitely book again!

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.

Loved location, being on beach, space in home but house needs maintenance and repairs (paint peeling off ceiling, damage around 2 window sills, walls need to be cleaned and touch up with paint, siding on ground outside, sheets in one bedroom dirty ).

Got together with my adult family of 6 for 3 nights in January. A nice place to spend time together away from the polar vortex that took over the majority of the US.

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.

House was clean and as described. Really great location on a low-key part of the beach. Awesome shared living area for hanging out!

Beach front with beautiful views. Kitchen is large and works for multiple cooks. Beds are very comfortable. House is spacious.

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 house has all the amenities you need and spectacular views. Plenty of seating! I would go back and stay at this property if I were to go again.

We had a lovely time. The house was great and we enjoyed being away from the busier town. We had a small problem with a beeping smoke detector but it was remedied very quickly.

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.

We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. Great management! Hope to make a trip back soon.

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.

We loved staying at Bare Feet Retreat. Our family enjoyed being together and enjoying the ocean and sand in your beautiful home. Thank you so much - everything we needed was available to us....and beyond! Thanks. We will be returning! Love - Bill & Lisa Roitsch

Very well stocked; great location for family

Great place, wonderful view

Amazing as always

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.

Good time with family. Space big enough for 9 people. Well equipped with essential equipment. Could of used more paper goods .

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 house is a great location on the beach. The setup of house worked perfectly for our family.

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.

Nice place that offered all the conveniences of home with an Exceptional location on the beach…..Thank you for opening up your home …we had an amazing couples weekend!

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!

The location was perfect! The house was great and comfortably fit our family of 10. We’d definitely stay again.

The house was great. Plenty of space for entire family. The beach was not very crowded, which was great.

This is a wonderful property and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. It is quite a way from Galveston, but the upside is that the beach is never crowded. The outside is starting to show some typical beach maintenance issues, and there is some water damage on the windowsills, but this is a beautiful house with phenomenal views inside and out. There were six of us and we cooked quite a bit, so a few more dishtowels would be nice. Great place!

Look the house is nice. Location is good. Management is horrible. Hope everything works for you. We arrived on a cold wet night. The outside lights did not work, so we had to trek up and down slick stairs in the dark. Lucky no one got hurt. The place was 58 degrees when we arrived because they could not be bothered to start the heat. We then tried to wash and dry our wet clothes. Dryer was broken. Can’t dry things outside in the rain. Ok, things happen, so we contact the management. They say they will handle, but they expect us to wait around for the people to fix things. It takes two days and multiple visits a for the lighting and three days for the dryer. And they tell us Lowe’s will be there sometime during the day to deliver it. So, if we want a dryer for wet clothes (it rained all week), we needed to hang out there all day. Dryer folks come at 6pm and the new dryer is also broken. I contacted the management and asked for some consideration and she told me that it was my fault for wanting functional appliances and there would be no discount for all this mess. And she was rude. This place was far from cheap. Functional appliances seem like something you could expect. Disappointing trip and one of the worst of dozens of rentals that we have done over the years (despite the nice location). Proof that even the nicest place can fall apart if the management is inconsiderate and greedy.
