They claim to be a marina and they have no access to marina. I ask the same day I booked to cancel my reservation Because they don’t have the marina. But they are all about the money and didn’t want to cancel, I was forced to stay there with my truck & vessel and they didn’t have parking for me & my trailer. They Send me to parking & pay $10 hr four the time of my stay. Completely a bad experience

Firstly, the marina was fully booked, and this is run independently, you booked a room through a third party (NOT A SLIP ON THE MARINA). It clearly states on all the websites that you only get one space per room. You had not complaints with the room at all but did not even call the motel to ask before if we had room for the jet ski plus the trailer you brought. The grievance you have over the parking price has nothing to do with us at all. You were under the cancellation policy and again when booking through a 3rd party we have nothing to do with the reservation. I suggest in future you call the place to make sure they can accommodate you and not just expect this. We had another guest at the same time in house with a jet ski but had called before and made provisions for this.

Overall a meh… experience and not worth the $250 plus per night charge. Bed sheets were old and fuzzy, rough on the skin, curtains were short and insufficient to cover the window. I was uncomfortable in a room where someone could peak in and light was coming through at night. No working outlets. Finally had to move furniture to get behind and use one of the lamp outlet. The carpet was old. Cleaniless was okay. The concierge was helpful. Location is good but there are other hotels in the surrounding areas. I would not be staying here again. Rates were too high for what the place offered.

Barefoot Bay thank you for your feedback and take all comments into consideration. The room you stayed in has both blinds and curtains to assure privacy. On inspection we have found all electrical outlets to be working fine. The owner checked you in and out and not once was any of your feedback brought to our attention as we would have acted immediately. Apologies if Barefoot Bay did not come up to your standard.

Staff was very friendly and helpful to us while we were there! Nice little quiet place with parking and extremely walkable to anywhere! Coffee and pot, toaster, microwave and fridge along with a set of dishes was convenient. Pool was warm and clean. Nice dock to sit on and fish from if you wanted. We loved this small place! Great bargain for the price and location!

Great little stay. Just the one night for me & my family, would have been nice to stay a bit longer. Room was comfortable, parking was convenient and the hotel was in a nice location. Also good to meet Stacey (one of the owners) all the way from Yorkshire (UK). And after 20 years of being in the US, she hasn't lost her accent. If we ever come back we'd love to stay with you again. Thank you - The Ford Family.
