What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 317 guest reviews
The Barefoot Mailman earns consistently strong sentiment driven by its exceptionally friendly staff, notably clean rooms, and convenient beach-close location that guests consider excellent value for the price. The main drawbacks are an ageing property — beds, pillows, and fixtures are frequently flagged as needing updates — along with noise issues and smoking on patios that bother some guests.
