Yes, the reviews are really true. Barefoot beach is out of this world. My family of 21 persons, ages 5-65, just returned from the most magical week at Ben and Evelyn's beautiful beachfront property. Months before our arrival they reached out and a month prior arranged everything from airport shuttles, catered meals, photographer, and day trips to ziplining, horseback riding, and ATVing. The pool/beach and food service exceeded our expectations. The staff is so incredibly welcoming. I would definitely recommend at least B/fast and dinner for a large group. B'fast was out of this world and held us to early afternoon. We orginally thought about just doing dinners but honestly, while the supermarket is close, its just not worth the time, money or stress to prepare your meals. The quality and portions are so generous, we had leftovers for mid-day holdovers. You will want to relax with your group, so let them.Beach has fun waves and we were in the ocean every day but young kids or weak swimmers just need to stay waist high if current is strong. Bonfires at night, views of ocean from the hot tub and pool, and they provide a bartender from 3pm-11pm who will make any drinks from the alcohol/mixers you provide. Nina, their concergie, is amazing and will arrange taxis/shuttles, and all your off day trips. The owners Evelyn and Ben will be accessible throughout your stay and make sure you are well taken care of. Our stay at Barefoot has been the best family vacation by far.
