Classic motel. Extra sink outside the bathroom was great when staying with 3 people. Big Mini fridge, microwave, a broom for the sand which was great, a large trash can, small pool but clean and secure parking. We had a full size coffee maker, wish I had brought my own coffee for a whole pot! Most importantly, it was clean and safe. We have stayed at other motels in the area, this isn’t my favorite but I would recommend staying here.

Booked 3 nights in October so we could take our 2 dogs to the beach and boardwalk. Opted for the efficiency and are glad we did. Full size fridge and 2 burner stove top were very handy. Cookware, silverware and china were all provided. Plenty of towels. Pool was still open but the weather was a tad too cool to us. AC was ice cold. Staff was friendly and super helpful. Free poo bags. Highly recommended.

We had stayed here in 2018 and the property was newly renovated and clean. We revisited this property in 2024 and the room smelled like a dog salon. The room didn't feel clean, there was mold on the ceiling, and dust was covered in many areas - such as the headboard. To add insult to injury, our bathroom ceiling began to leak on our second day, so we decided to check out early and leave for another hotel.

Great stay

My fiancé and I went for a quick little beach trip. Our stay at the Barefoot Mailman was amazing. We loved the room and the kitchen was great to cook our meals. We loved the porch and the privacy. The staff was very nice and made sure that we were enjoying our stay. We will definitely stay here again.

I love this place. They have a nice family room and It's located at the heart of Ocean City. In addition, compared to others in the area their price tag is reasonable. I also appreciate their professional reception. Keep it up!
