Great location, lots of open space for gathering with a large group. The kitchen is well equipped. We loved the ability to all sit on the porch together and see/hear the water. Easy access to the beach and lots of beach toys for kids and some chairs for the adults to enjoy. We would definitely stay again. Carla was great!

We had an absolutely amazing time staying at this house. The hosts were super quick at responding, the house was very spacious, and was honestly even better than the pics! Location was fantastic, there were tons of things stocked in the shed for us to use, they even had a booster chair and pack n’ play that were not listed. Would absolutely recommend and stay again!

Beautiful home close to the beach! Spacious, comfy, loaded with everything you need- tons of storage. This was our first year on the island & we loved it. We are already looking at next years dates! Owners are helpful & respond quickly! Our only suggestion is maybe another fridge, even a mini fridge. Our family of 11 had a heard time putting a week’s worth of food in fridge. Haha!

Delightful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Barefoot Bungalow. The location is great, and we could watch the ocean waves right from the front deck with a cup of morning coffee or a glass of wine after dinner. It had everything we needed and then some for a comfortable stay. I can see how this place would be perfect for big families.

What an AMAZING place

This was a great family vacation. The house is described and presented as expected. Highlights: private beach 100 yards from the deck, owners give you chairs and some great beach toys for the kids, restaurants and bars are very close by, evenings on the deck in those rockers is priceless and the Island is amazing. We are planning to book again next year.

Loved It!

We loved our time at Barefoot Bungalow! The view from the deck SPECTACULAR! The house is exactly as described. It was exceptionally clean, with a very well stocked kitchen, open living areas with plenty of space, and comfy beds. The location is wonderful. Just steps from the private beach and walking distance from many Island venues. Carla and Jason are fabulous hosts who respond promptly to any questions. Also, they have provided extras to add to your stay such as, beach towels, beach chairs & toys, games, etc. I would highly recommend staying at Barefoot Bungalow.

Our MN Escape

We totally enjoyed our 24-day stay. This was our 5th time on the island. This house was spacious enough to host our kids and grandkids (13 total) for a week's visit and the price was wonderful. We loved being on the Gulf side and sitting on the deck in the mornings and enjoying the ocean view with our mimosas. Thank you for a great stay!! Steve & Jean V

The Barefoot Bungalow has earned my dogs’ stamp of approval.

The perfect location to relax and unwind! Carla was the perfect host, kind and attentive. We had an absolutely wonderful stay and the weather was perfect. The house was clean and had all the accessories one would expect to find in a VRBO home. A very short walk to the beach where my dog rediscovered she was still a puppy. This property would be an outstanding choice for your next vacation. The Barefoot Bungalow has earned my dogs’ stamp of approval.

Dude’s best vacation!

We have always boarded our beloved dog Dude when going on vacation as a whole family. But a beach vacation? With a water dog?! He had the best vacay EVER! Early morning swims, hanging out on the deck with his humans, afternoon naps, happy hour and games at sunset. He loved the sand, water, and chill time with his favorite people and WE DID TOO! Great time for the whole family …including Dude! 🐾💕

Family vacation 2022

We really loved the house, it was able to handle our crew with no problems. House was very clean, and well stocked for cooking. The only problem we had was a busted water line, but within a couple of hours of reporting this to the owners they had someone out and had it fixed. It is rare to have something fixed this quickly. This alone will place this house in our top 5 places to return to. Loved Dauphin Island. Thank you for allowing us to use your house.

About the host

Hosted by Carla and Jason

Host profile image
We have moved all over the country the last 21 years and have settled in Olive Branch, MS. We experienced Dauphin Island a couple of years ago and instantly fell in love with the small beach town. We were so excited when the opportunity presented itself for us to purchase a Gulf Front home on the island. We have a 12 and 15 year old daughters who are active in sports and love biking all over the island. Our dogs, Wrigley and Frank, love to sunbathe on the deck, watch pelicans, and splash in the ocean (with a leash on, of course)

Why they chose this property

We are so excited to share our family's vacation home with you. We hope you love Dauphin Island as much as we do. This home give us time away from our everyday life to unplug and enjoy our time together. We all enjoy swimming, beach volleyball, biking, and walking through the bird sanctuary. We hope staying in our home gives you the same opportunity to spend time with your friends and family.
