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.

Absolutely fantastic house
Wow..this property is just wonderful. The pictures do NOT do this house justice! This was our 2nd trip to Elbow Cay with our family of 8 adults and 4 grandchildren. This house was just perfect for all of us. Great location to Tahiti Beach, Sea Spray, Abaco Inn, Mackey's...the rest was a short golf cart ride away. Jess and Brandon(the caretakers) were the BEST and took care of our every need-from picking us up , unloading our luggage and even babysitting services. We will definitely be back next summer!

July 4th family vacation
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barefoot Beach. Jess and Brandon were amazing at communicating with us prior to our arrival and during our stay. The house had everything that we needed and was so spacious. We loved how convenient it was to Sea Spray Marina where we kept our boat. Also, being so close to Tahiti Beach was an added plus.

Had a great stay at Barefoot Beach. We have been to Elbow several times over the recent years and this property, house and location were the best we have had. Adding to that, Jess was extremely helpful and informative before, during and after the rental. All in, a great week in the Abacos!

Wonderful stay
We have Bern to the Abacos and stay at house next door. This year we needed a larger house. Everything was perfect. Gorgeous sunrise and close to Tahiti beach. We ended up in a 33 ft boat and owners accommodated the boat at another slip. We will be back.

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!

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!

We stayed here for 2 weeks and had our Children and Grandchildren. The home is perfect for a large Family. The caretakers, Jess and Brandon were great. The only caution is the deck. You have to have shoes on at all times due to getting a splinter and one of the kids found that out the hard way. A railing should be put in also to get to the beach. I know the owners did a great job getting this home updated and new from Dorion, so I understand why it’s not done yet.

Griswalds Christmas Vacaction at Barefoot Beach,Elbow Cay
Firstly, the online listing does not fully describe this spacious and beautiful home. The perfect location, plenty of views, huge deck areas, swimming pool, and proximity to Tahiti Beach. Could not have asked for anything more. Secondly, the caretakers could not have been more helpful and made us feel very special at Christmas time. They even helped rescue us on Christmas day. As for the Griswald part... We had a great time getting in and out of trouble and you will have to watch the movie version when it gets produced. Kids and Grandkids will never forget our time here. We couldn't have had a better time. Hope to return next year to this same home. Hope it is available. Don Blaser aka Clark Griswald

Internet and A/C Problems
Nice place, but the Internet worked two of the seven days that we stayed there. Every night the downstairs A/C wouldn't cool and it got to 79 degrees. The generator broke and left us with no A/C and no water. The property managers were quick to get someone there ( a couple of hours), but some in the group literally got caught in the shower, all soaped up and no way to rinse. That was not pleasant. No power is one thing but no water is another. Too many little things happened to ruin what could have been a nice stay.
