Not knowing the area...I took a risk at finding a house and ensuring it was in the right location. I hit the jack pot! This beautiful home met the needs of our family. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. It had all of the amenities that we needed (as clearly described by the owner before our vacation). The home is quite spacious and we loved sitting on the back porch every morning and evening. This was also the first time I brought my two dogs on vacation. I not only enjoyed walking them on the beach everyday, but also through the neighborhood. The owner was very effective in communicating the steps required for the rental process as well as the expectations upon arrival and departure. On our trip home, we already started talking about returning. We would love to go back!!

We had a wonderful time at the Barefoot Contessa. The weather was perfect and we thorougly enjoyed the home. Highlights include lazy mornings on the back porch enjoying the spring breezes, sunning by the pool, everyone watching the NCAA championship game on the large sofa, and most importantly exploring the area in their golf cart! Adrienne provided excellent customer service and was very responsive. Her home was very clean, well maintained, and is larger than the photo's indicate. We would love to come back again.

We stayed at Barefoot Contessa over thanksgiving weekend with our family and I must say it far exceeded our expectations! House was clean, very roomy (even if we had more people there would have been plenty of space) and had everything we could possibly need... especially in the kitchen! It is absolutely close enough to walk to and the golf cart makes it even quicker. It was so nice to be able to bring our dog with us as well... we hate to leave home without him. Adrienne was so pleasant and accommodating. All in all we couldn't have picked a better house and location and we will definitely stay here again!

We had the best time ever at Barefoot Contessa. The house is the well equipped and so comfortable. Adrienne has decorated the house so it really becomes your home away from home,EX., Throw rugs in the bathrooms and soft bath towels. The walk to the beach is just right and the pool-Our Cock a poo loved it. We did have a party for 18 of our friends and it is the perfect house for entertaining. Adrienne was always available from the time we rented until we returned home. We hate to rave about it because we are afraid it will not be available due to overbooking but not to worry we have it for next year! Thanks Adrienne.

In a nutshall, Barefoot Contessa was everything and more that anyone could ever ask for in a vacation rental. My family and I loved the beautiful private swimming pool and the golf cart that we used to travel to the beach and nearby restaurants. The fact that dogs are welcomed sold us on this bright and cheery house, since we own two Bernese Mountain Dogs. We were planning to grill during the week and noticed the racks to the grill were missing. One phone call to Adrienne,the owner(who is available ALL the time) a manintenace man was there the next morning. Not only did he repair and replace it, he cleaned the whole darn grill!! Everyone is so friendly! I would recommend this home to anyone with small children also, very safe location. We had a ball!!! ps..we loved relaxing on the most comfortable leather recliners after a full day of playing. Triple thumbs up on this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Family Vacation-2011

Our vacation was fantastic and we would definitely return. The house was clean, well-maintained, has a fabulous kitchen and was close to all attractions. The owner provided excellent customer service and was very accommodating and willing to please. We mainly cooked our meals but went out to eat a few times. The pool was refreshing and the golf cart was a definite plus. The beach was clean and the grandchildren enjoyed it every day. The open layout of the house allowed us to enjoy one another's company. We would definitely rent the home again.

A Very Nice and Clean Home! Loved it! Beautiful!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Barefoot Contessa! The only thing I disliked, was that our vacation was not long enough! :) The house is very spacious (big kitchen, big living area, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms just to name a few), very clean and extremely accommodating. The front deck is perfect for lounging or for a quick rest all while enjoying the beautiful sun and air. The golf cart provided us very quick and easy access to the beach and the home's pool is just beautiful and a great way to relax throughout the day and even at night after dinner or shopping. The pool is also screened in so its great at keeping the bugs out! The home's location is in an excellent area, very close to everything including the beach, but very private at the same time. The enclosed parking area is also great; it keeps your car nice and clean and there's always plenty of parking (unlike hotels). We just can't say enough about how much we loved our stay! And our furry kids loved it too! Adrienne has done a great job at making sure you feel right at home and she is always SO helpful! We've been on plenty of vacations, but none have ever been as enjoyable and as pleasant as our stay at the Barefoot Contessa. We will definitely be back to stay at this lovely home each time we visit Myrtle Beach! Our long days of searching for the perfect place to stay each year on vacation [that is both clean and very nice] are over! We have found all that and more in the Barefoot Contessa. If you're planning a trip to Myrtle/North Myrtle Beach don't miss out on this charming place! We loved it! Thank you Adrienne!

We just spent the month of March there. The house is everything you read and see in the VRBO write-up! A well-equipped kitchen, lots of room, beautifully decorated, and only a short walk to the beach. Really enjoyed sitting out on the upper deck in the afternoon sun. Loved the convenience of the golf cart for going mini golfing and to the beach and just getting around the neighborhood. Although we didn't make use of the pool - too cool - we did enjoy sitting around it. Made good use of the outdoor grill too - off the screened-in upper deck at the back overlooking the pool. Lots of linens provided and Adrienne was always just a quick phone call or e-mail away for anything we needed! A terrific property!

Leave your worries at the door when you check in at the Barefoot Contessa. The house is gorgeous ( clean and brand new) and has everything you need. (including a hair dryer) The pool is so refreshing after a day at the beach. The golf cart made taking chairs and umbrellas to the beach so much easier. Barefoot Landing has a lot of food choices and a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend the Barefoot Contessa.

The pictures don't do the property justice! I t was wonderful and more than we expected. Very comfortable for my family of 7 adults and 5 children. The pool has toys for the kids, we loved the enclosed pool. Also loved the tv's in each bedroom. The kitcen had everything we needed including spices, blender, etc. Would recommend this for anyone...Adrienne was a pleasure to deal with...made some great memories. We hired Tara Photograpy for beach photos, she was great and very patient with the kids!

Owner response:Thanks Linda, We are so glad you and your family had a nice vacation! Please keep us in mind for next year! Adrienne

The owner clearly described the property accuratly. I would go back there in a minute. The property was clean and well mainatined. There are lots of things to do in the area. A short drive will get you any attraction you could possible want.

Owner response:Thanks Tina, We hope you and your family will be back next year! Adrienne
