Our family had a great stay at Barefoot Bay. The caretakers Jess and Brandon were extremely helpful before we arrived and throughout our stay which took away a lot of the unknowns and stress that can come with travel. The house has a great set up for multiple families and the view is absolutely amazing. We loved our week there and hope to return someday.

Herron Dawes Family Vacation

We had an amazing time and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay than Barefoot Bay! There wasn’t a bad view from anywhere in the house. Having a pool to relax in after a long day at the beaches was a major plus. The caretakers, Brandon and Jess, were quick to respond to our needs and truly great people. We hope to visit again in the future.

Breath Taking

Everything about this vacation was magical. The house is perfect for multipal families. The Pods give you privacy when needed but also togetherness in the common living area! Location is a 10! The view is one of the best on the Island.

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.

Family Wedding Celebration

We loved the living room / kitchen area being completely separate from the bedrooms. The two separate houses for sleeping/bedrooms were great for adult children. Location to the dock was so convenient. The house manager and cart service were quick to respond with any questions we had. We would definitely stay at Barefoot Bay again.

Barefoot Bay June 2021

Beautiful new home with great amenities. All new appliances, furniture. Super comfy beds. The views and from the house and the deck are spectacular. The layout is great for large groups and having the common area separate from the sleeping quarters means partiers don't keep youngsters or "sleepy" adults awake. Strongly recommend.

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.

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 and View!

This was our 2nd time staying here the first time being 2018. House is fully repaired and not many changes. Pool is great and view is unmatched! We had 10 old and young adults this time and last time we had about 13. Great location near Tahiti Beach and now comes with 2 boat slips at the neighborhood dock. At the opposite end from Hopetown and pretty quiet. Roads have been improved since Dorian and most of the island has recovered. Ready to go back!

Beautiful home for large or multiple families

Barefoot Bay is a lovely home - surely with one of the finest views on the southern end of Elbow Cay. From the pool deck you have exposure to the Atlantic, Tilloo Cut, and the Sea of Abaco. The bedrooms enabled our group of 10 to sleep comfortably, with all couples and some of the “kids” having their own room. The dock was perfect for our rental boat. The central pod is an ideal place for the group to congregate, whether for a large meal or to watch an evening movie on the large-screen TV. The caretakers were responsible to our few requests. We’ve been staying on Elbow Cay for many years, and Barefoot Bay was probably the best house we’ve ever rented here.

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

Perfect Bahamian gathering spot

First, owners Alexandra and William and the caretaker on location were so responsive and helpful as we prepared for this large family getaway. Jess helped us make chartered ferry and golf cart reservations, as well as concierge service to stock the fridge with basics for our arrival. The house was within walking distance from ferry dock and several wonderful beaches for walking, swimming and snorkeling. Cart rides into town for the town beach in the Atlantic was our favorite. The pods in the house provided great privacy and adequate sleeping for all 12 of us. Local grocery stores were great for cooking many meals. Eating out was always fun but expensive. One excursion to Marsh Harbor for Xmas dinner groceries proved an excellent idea. The pool was terrific for all ages. The kitchen/dining/living room pod was spacious and just right for our large group to eat together and gather. We had fantastic December beach weather in the 70’s all week. Islanders were so welcoming and relaxed. Overall we could not have been happier!

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.!
