About this property
2nd Row Beach House with Beautiful Ocean View and Easy Beach Access
Barefoot Oasis is an amazing escape from day-to-day life. This is a second home for us, so rest assured that all home comforts and amenities will be included.
At Barefoot Oasis, we boast a spacious kitchen, three comfortable bedrooms, and plenty of large common areas that the whole family can hang out in. Complete with two balconies overlooking a majestic view of the ocean, easy beach access, and a relaxing outdoor shower, our beach house has it all.
This house is great for families with children. Whether you're looking to build sandcastles by the beach all day or work on your tan while reading the latest Nicholas Sparks novel or simply sip coffee and view the sunrise over the water, this beach house has everything you could want and more.
Holidays are important, and we know the trust you place in us when booking with us. We take pride knowing our home has everything you need so that all you have to do is relax and enjoy your much-needed vacation!
And if you forgot to pack something, don't worry - everyone on Bolivar knows "If the Big Store doesn't have it, you don't need it!"
BASIC RULES - Please read the following basic rules before booking and review the rental agreement. We want you to enjoy our home, but want to ensure you will treat it as well as you would treat a good friend's home. OCCUPANCY. We rent to SMALL rental parties - 5 adults maximum, or 6 guests total if including children. Families and responsible adults over 25 years of age are welcome.
*** DOGS. NO dogs (or pets), not even the teeny tiny cute ones. *** PARTIES AND DAY GUESTS. NO parties, large family gatherings, proms, et cetera, smoking, or pets allowed. PARENTS - DO NOT rent on behalf of underage children. Doing any of the above will result in terminating the booking without refund, the deposit will be kept, and you will be asked to leave immediately. We are very strict on occupancy limits due to the high cost of damages associated with overworking our septic system, etc. Please disclose any DAY GUESTS at time of booking. Exterior security cameras on premises.
If all of those basic rules are good, then keep on reading, because our house is perfect for YOU!
Linens included, and beds are made, so all you need to do is unpack and relax upon arrival. Please bring beach towels, as they are not supplied, as well as personal care products. Bath towels must remain in the house.

This was a beautiful house, and the porches and outside amenities were nice. The bathrooms were very small. The one downstairs was extremely small. The upstairs bathroom was bigger but had no counter space to put your things. The space in the bathrooms were my biggest complaint for our family of four. Bedrooms were nice and clean.
This house is so beautiful. The rooms are relaxing and inviting, the balconies give an amazing ocean view, and it's the perfect place for a beach getaway. If we come back to Crystal Beach, this is definitely the place we'll be staying.
View from the decks is wonderful. House is so cute and comfortable, and we had everything we could possibly need. Great location and stay. I’d love to go back.

Thank you for the great review! We hope you come back soon!
This is the absolute perfect house to rent. Perfect location with a double balcony to view the ocean and feel the ocean breeze. The owner got right back to me on any questions I had. Great communication if you needed anything.

Hey so glad y’all had great stay! I’m happy we made your experience effortless. Emma and I work hard to make sure things go well as vacations should be relaxing. Hope you will come back again. Take care.
We stayed for a couple of days and it was a nice quiet place. House is basically at the end of a street so not a whole lot of commotion. We enjoyed our stay and the beach was a short walk away.

The property was very clean and provided everything we needed. It was so close to the water and we loved staying here. One of our favorite things about the house were the views of the beach from the top balcony. Would absolutely book again without hesitation!

Thank you so much for your great words! We literally just put those chairs on that upper balcony!! So glad you guys enjoyed them. Would love to have y’all back. Take care.
House was great, location was great. Only complaint was that their neighbor had a rooster that woke us up every day and continually made noise.
