A convenient half bath near the kitchen serves as a powder room.

Can we park 5 vehicles there?
Candace S - Posted: 04/13/2022

Answer:

Bare Feet Retreat is allotted parking for 4 vehicles only. If additional parking is needed, you can find options for overnight parking here.

Are golf carts permitted?
Benjamin M - Posted: 02/25/2023

Answer:

Yes! In fact, you can rent a golf cart at a discounted rate through one of our preferred vendors! Golf carts are only permitted in speed limit zones of 35 MPH or less, and each golf cart rental will take the place of one vehicle parking space. Enjoy the ride!

Does this home provide complimentary beach service?
Apryle F - Posted: 07/06/2023

Answer:

Beach chairs and umbrellas are not provided complimentary, but are most certainly available for rent. Once you have secured your reservation, we will provide you with the beach services contact information. You can reserve chairs and umbrellas over the phone, or directly on the sand. See you soon!

Does this property have beach/sand toys?
Sara S - Posted: 04/01/2024

Answer:

It is always possible that the owner has supplied these items or previous guests have left them at the property; however, due to the high volume of visitors, things can inevitably be broken, misplaced, or lost. Since we cannot guarantee these items will be present, it is always safest to pack your own or rent some when you arrive.
