Barefoot in the Park was exactly what we hoped for! The parkside location was just right for our grandchildren to hit the playground and for all of us to explore the Ft. Screvin side of Tybee Island. The home is artsy and very liveable at the same time. The kids' favorite pieces were the whale over the kitchen door and the puppy painting upstairs in the loft bedroom. We appreciated the tips from other reviewers about finding games in the cupboards and the drawer microwave. Nana and Papa scored big with screen porch movie nights too!
The upstairs bedroom doesn't have it's own bathroom, so our son's family of 4 needed to shower in the large master bathroom. They did have full access to the downstairs powder room. Great-grandmother had her own bed and bath. It all worked out and we hope to return!

The property needs some cleanup and new furniture. The outside looks really run down and the lawn and fenced yard and seating were not useable.

This house has literally everything you need within walking distance. We began every morning playing the 9-hole disc golf course in the park/backyard (sunroom looks out over hole 1!) then walked to the beach! The kitchen was an absolute dream, and the screened-in porch and sunroom were incredible for the adults to hang out after the kids went to bed! Will stay here again next time in SE Georgia.

This house was gorgeous and obviously a place where owners lived. Incredibly well supplied kitchen (from a person who loves to cook), beautifully decorated, comfortable furniture, amazing spaces to spread out, a great open floor plan and a master suite bigger than any luxury hotel we’ve stayed in. It’s location is wonderful with park next door (we loved the sounds of kids on the playground) and walking distance to lighthouse and beaches. A few things to note:
The two full baths are off the master and second bedrooms so those staying in the loft only have access to the half bath downstairs and need to use showers/baths by going through someone else’s bedroom.
This is a MODERN kitchen. It took us a while to find the microwave (it’s a drawer - very cool, but took us a while) fridge and dishwasher blend in as big cabinets. If you’re “vertically challenged” as I am, you will make regular use of the step stool. We touched a touchscreen in the fridge (not me, it was way out of my reach!) and it shut the fridge off entirely. Still not sure how that happened. And they listed a Keurig but there wasn’t one there.
Snoop through all the drawers and you will find surprises - games! Books! And more kitchen supplies hidden in the island.
If you’re visiting during cooler months, let the water run a while to get to the hot water going.
All were fun quirks - we loved this place! It was so immaculate and such a great space. I can’t think of any AirBnB property that felt more like a home.

Pretty amazing home just an 8 min walk to the beach. Very large and accommodating, especially the master bedroom, with lots of common space. Also thoughtfully decorated. Would highly recommend it.

Great house with lots of interesting art on the walls. Furnishings were in very good shape and comfortable. The proximity to the beach and the park (adjacent to it) were awesome. The management staff was right on top of everything we needed. Rent bikes and everything is just minutes away.

This house is great! Well-stocked kitchen, comfy beds, great showers, strong AC. The art and furniture are perfect. The big central open room is great for cooking, eating and hanging out. The screen-in porches are wonderful for morning and evening gathering. The location next to the park means you have huge old trees around the house. The neighborhood is cute, and the beach is a short walk away. Communication with Natural Retreats was flawless. Thank you for a great stay.

Had a wonderful stay at Barefoot in the Park! The location was perfect and we could walk to everything we needed. The park next door was perfect for our 5 year old. The house had everything we needed for our week long stay. Very easy check in and responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

The ease of booking, as well as, constant communication was definitely a plus. The week long, free activities was such a great perk, and was most definitely enjoyed! The house was very clean and having linens provided helped to make our stay easier with less stress.
