We were able to bring our little dogs. Needed a king bed which they had for us. Our grandkids live close to BM and were allowed to use the pool with us. Staff is probably the friendliest group that I ever had during our a stay in OC. Look to return next year!!

The staff was very friendly and informative when asked questions. The place is quiet, clean and the beds are very confortable. Housekeeper provides with anything needed right away. Located very close to the beach and Coconuts Bar and Grill where they play life music and serve food and alcohol at the beach. Nice place, we’d stay at this hotel again.

We just had the best stay at the Barefoot Mailman. The room was clean, current, and perfect for our family for a couple of days. The walk to the beach was short and pleasant. Everything was great, but the staff... TREMENDOUS! They were so kind and helpful and made us feel like they wanted to make sure we had a great stay. The young lady at the desk whose name began with a T (I didnt get the proper spelling) she was so welcoming, kind, and friendly. Her and Teri both were exceptional, and I appreciate that. Don't change! Thank you. Would recommend and come back!
