Our stay at this hotel was one of the best experiences we’ve had with our dogs. It truly stands out as a dog-friendly spot. The daily fee for our pups was lower than at any other location we've visited, making it a budget-friendly choice for pet owners. The location of the hotel was ideal. Just a short walk to a beautiful, uncrowded beach and close to Barn 34, which served delicious breakfast and brunch options. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, contributing to a warm atmosphere throughout our stay. The hotel was super clean, though we did notice that the decor was a bit outdated and could benefit from some updating. One of the great perks was the late-night pizza place conveniently located across the street, perfect for satisfying cravings after a day of adventures. Additionally, the area felt safe, giving us peace of mind while enjoying our time. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and will definitely be returning to this lovely hotel. Highly recommend it to anyone traveling with dogs!

Great Pet-Friendly Stay at The Barefoot Mailman

We had a wonderful family getaway at The Barefoot Mailman last weekend.The staff, especially Kay, were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel truly welcomed. They even gave our Samoyed plenty of attention at every opportunity. The room was well-priced, with comfortable beds and a generous selection of pillows for a great night’s sleep. The location is perfect—just a block from the beach with a sidewalk leading straight to the sand, no roads to cross! Situated in midtown, the hotel is surrounded by plenty of dining options, and the boardwalk is just a short drive south. As a pet-friendly motel, it offers designated pet areas, though they’re a bit small, and you may need to wait for other pets to clear out—a minor drawback for one of the few pet-friendly spots in Ocean City. The pool was open and never felt overcrowded, adding to the relaxing vibe. The room included dishes and a broom for pet owners, which was thoughtful, but adding a sponge and a roll of paper towels would make it even more convenient. Free parking is included in your stay and if you don't get a spot underneath the motel, there is overflow parking directly in front. Very convenient. We fell in love with Ocean City and The Barefoot Mailman’s warm hospitality. We’ll definitely book here again for our next trip!

Dated accommodations, but clean and convenient

The room was a bit dated (old), more importantly it appeared clean, including the bathroom, and more spacious than expected. Being a pet-friendly hotel, the bare floors are smart; the room was equipped with a broom and dustpan to clean any messes, including sand from the beach, up quickly. The areas for pets to do their thing are also nice and large, to mingle with other guest’s pets. Access to the beach is super close and convenient; however, the City doesn’t allow dogs on the beach from May 1 to September 30; it would be nice if this information was included on the booking website.
