Barefoot Beach South: Fantastic location, steps from sand with views of the bay!
Atlantic Beach just made #16 in the list of Top 100 Beaches in the United States, beating out even beaches in Hawaii! Truly a hidden gem, as this part of the island doesn't have public access, beyond a few cars, so it's just folks staying right there. https://www.wect.com/2023/06/21/100-best-beach-towns-us/
Full kitchen, enormous 36' x 12' patio with charcoal grill and large sectional, multiple rocking chairs, and porch swing, dining area, living room, full bathroom, queen bedroom, dual twin bedroom, two rollaway beds, laundry in unit, beach outdoor shower. Home away from home!
The entire unit of the duplex will be yours. This property is smoke-free, meaning you must leave the property completely if you wish to smoke. This is a pet-free property.
My favorite spot in the home is the massive 36' x 12' patio with the porch swing, and huge sectional seating area. I love that I can hear the waves crash from here.

We loved our stay at Barefoot Beach! It was clean, homey, and comfortable. The well equipped kitchen was great and convenient. The living room was very cozy and the beds were very comfortable. We’ll definitely be returning for another visit!
Thanks much for an easy stay right by the beach. Loved having the outdoor shower to rinse off, and the fire pit was great to wind down the day. We'll stay again, thanks!
This was our second time staying here and once again was very pleased. Christine was very accessible and responsive with any questions we had. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Great location and short walk to the beach. Looking forward to staying again!
Very nice well appointed house, exactly as described. Steps from a beautiful beach. Easy check in. Too hot and windy to sit on the porch but it would have been nice. Hope to be a guest again!

About the host
Hosted by Christine Castro
While Boston is technically home base for me, I have always loved the Carolinas, and I'm decidedly a beach girl. So it just made sense to buy a home in a place I loved and would visit often! While this is an investment property for me, I have the flexibility with my work to work from anywhere, I pop down often to enjoy the ocean, away from the hurried pace that is Boston living.
