Barefoot Beach - Life's Better Barefoot!

Barefoot Beach, located in Hope Town on the southern end of Elbow Cay in the Abacos, Bahamas, is a newly renovated oceanfront two story beach house, designed for up to three families or six couples. It has great views and accommodates up to 16 guests, featuring six bedrooms and four bathrooms. It has two master bedrooms, one on each floor, along with two other bedrooms on each floor. 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) and a charcoal grill (charcoal not 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 Beach has it's own private beach, a spacious living area with high ceilings, a wraparound porch, and a pool overlooking the ocean. It is only a 10 minute walk or a quick ride to the world famous Tahiti Beach on the southern tip of the island. There's also a private boat slip included, located at Marnie's Creek on the Sea of Abaco just a short walk or golf cart ride away. The boat slip is 11' wide and will fit a boat up to 30' long. A 10' or less beam is recommended so your boat will comfortably fit in the slip.

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

We also have a sister property, Barefoot Bay, 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.

Amazing!
We had 3 families with younger teens and older teens. This house was perfect, the pictures don’t do it justice. I never write reviews but had to for this one, we loved the location right on the beach with a pool and plenty of lounging space. We all had our own rooms and space to spread out, the common areas were great. I can’t say enough about Jesse and all that she did to make our stay amazing. We would stay here again and again!

Fantastic
We had a great stay at Barefoot Beach. Jess and Brandon were available for anything we needed. They even came out on Christmas day to tend ro the generator when the power went out on the island. The view of the Atlantic was beautiful from the house, and we kept our boat rental at the included dock only a block away. This was easily reached on golf cart. I would highly recommend this house and Jess and Brandon for a great vacation.

Birthday week at Barefoot Beach!
Wonderful house for a family vacation. The house was perfect for a family of 11. Everyone had a beautiful bedroom and there is a wonderful porch to enjoy the views of the ocean, the sunrise and sunsets. The kitchen was equipped with 2 refrigerators and everything you would need to cook a great meal. The house is wonderful and Jess is close by to help. The house also comes with a boat slip which is a golf cart ride away. The week in Hope Town was great! Can’t wait to come back and stay at Barefoot Beach!

On the beach
Beautiful home fully updated with plenty of room to spread out. A great living area to gather and porches and pool overlooking the beach. A new dock close by was provided for our boat rental. It’s in a great location on the south part of elbow cay with lots of privacy but a short golf cart ride to Abaco Inn, Mackey’s, On da Beach and Firefly. And close to Tahiti beach too. The caretakers Jess and Brandon were great and very responsive. We would love to come back to this home someday!

Great house, wonderful view.
This property was very well suited for our large family. Plenty of space for all. Nicely appointed in all aspects. Loved have the large washer and dryers for Beach towels. Kids enjoyed the pool and beach. Location ideal in beautiful area of island. Jess and Brandon were very helpful in getting us to and from our boat. Get rid of rugs or buy seagrass rugs, tiles floors are perfect for beach and rugs are just too hard to keep clean in a rental property. Great trip and Barefoot Beach was a plus!
