The room was just as expected -minimal, but very clean. We only stayed here one night until our condo was available, but the room was clean, the beds were comfy, and the front desk clerk was super friendly. They were pet friendly and that meant the world to us. I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I were very pleased and surprised. I thought for sure since it is pet friendly it would have a smell and not be that clean but no smell and was very clean. This is an older hotel and it is not very fancy but it worked for us and our dog. We had a regular room. The pool is small but again worked for us, the beach is steps away. They have several areas for your pups to pee and a porch area to enjoy just sitting and people watching or reading a book. The staff is excellent! very friendly and helpful. The manager is very hands on and treats his guest and his staff with friendly respect. Barefoot is close to restaurants and some shopping. Coconuts beach grill is in walking distance. They have live music in the afternoon through the night. Great happy hour! You are even served on the beach!! Castle in the Sand is part of the Barefoot family and can use their beach and pool amenities. I have been going to Ocean City since I was a baby and really haven't enjoyed over the past years but This trip was very relaxing along with some fun evening times due to our stay and the people that we met. I recommend!

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!

We had a fantastic experience mostly in part to Terry the general manager. There were some pricing issues due to rescheduling from a prior date. We had explained to him that Expedia informed us that there would be no price changes or additional charges for moving the dates. Terry accepted our email confirmation and processed the rooms for the promised price and told us he’ll take care of it with Expedia. Taking any burden off us allowing us to have a fantastic weekend. The hotel rooms were very spacious and conveniently located a short distance from the beach. Surrounding area had several amenities for convenience and fast food. Our entire family of 16 had one of the best weekend in ocean city again due to the staffing of the Barefoot Mailman. 5 stars all the way!!

Property was basic but clean. Traveled for leisure with family. Room and bathroom was nice. We stayed in one of the rooms with a kitchenette which was a nice bonus. Free parking on site. The pool was nice and clean and we saw it being cleaned regularly. The room had hard flooring which was nice seeing as we were near the water and accumulated a lot of sand. This was something I looked for when booking. The room included a drying rack for suits and towels. Because we booked a kitchenette, our room had three sinks in it. Your bathroom includes small bottles of shampoo and conditioner as well as a hair dryer. Each room has their own balcony with two chairs and a table. There are elevators. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Ice machine and a few on site vending machines. Hotel is located on the ocean side of the street and located walking distant to several restaurants. Additionally, 35th street leads directly to public beach access.

We would definitely stay here again and you cannot beat the price.

We stayed here one night when we were able to extend our stay one day but could not extend our reservation from the rest of the week! Was perfect for what we needed! Really big for a hotel room with two nice sized comfortable beds with multiple pillows! Exceptionally clean! And, for someone with asthma having the elevator and luggage cart was a life saver! Also like that the parking lot was not as crammed as a lot of beach parking. And staff were friendly and helpful!

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.

I loved finding out that the entire facility is pet friendly meaning I didn’t have to make any special calls or advanced reservations to get a pet friendly room like at other places! The pet fee is reasonable compared to some other places and prices that I was finding in my searches. Everything about our stay here was awesome. This was the first year I’ve ever taken the dogs on vacation and thanks to the Barefoot Mailman we will be coming back every year now! I love the fact that the dogs could be left alone, but weren’t required to be in a crate because that causes some serious anxiety for them. I felt comfortable enough, leaving the dogs out of their crates because the room was safe and there was nothing that they were going to get into. They loved having the green space for potty breaks and also having the alleyway to walk up and down to stretch our legs which kept us away from the main road. The staff was friendly and occasionally asked if it was okay to pet or acknowledge the dogs- which the dogs of course loved! They also learned very quickly that the office had Milk-bones LOL! I like the fact that the rooms were clean and also did not smell. The rooms are also spacious so they can accommodate both human belongings and dog belongings. The kitchenette was an added bonus. It came stocked with utensils and dishes. The beach is a short walk away, as well as plenty of restaurants, and shops. The front office also has a cool list of pet friendly restaurants around.

Great Value

We have been doing family trips to Ocean City for 33 years. We would often talk about the Barefoot Mailman and how much we liked the name. This year we were on a very tight budget, and all the usual places we stay was out of our price range.
Then we saw the Barefoot Mailman with a unbelievable price. We reserved it and when we arrived the night manager Brad was so helpful. We explained that we had a bad experience once, and we wanted to see the room before we signed the paperwork. He went up ahead of us and checked that everything was in perfect order. Each night he came on duty he would see us and make sure we were happy with our stay so far. It was the beginning of Senior week and a pet friendly hotel, but we never experienced any noise or problems in the hotel. The road noise was loud sometimes from the loud cars racing up and down. Housekeeping checked in everyday to see if we needed anything. The room was spacious, clean, and had a king and double bed that was very comfortable.
I would gladly stay there again and they have a sister hotel just two blocks away where you could enjoy the amenities there also.

We were pleased with our stay. Room was clean and had nice amenities. Checkin and out was fast and they were really friendly and polite. Only thing I would say is that they need to make sure guest know where the ice machine is when checking in as we never did find it but we seen another guest with their ice bucket filled in the elevator. Also it would be nice to have a soda/drink machine on site. And I know it is pet friendly which I love that but there was one day that the elevator had dog urine on the floor for several hours before it was cleaned up, which made the smell awful. I know the dog owner should have cleaned it up but something that should be checked on more often and cleaned up if pet owners aren’t responsible enough to do so.

We came down for the Boardwalk Rock 2 day concert, and it was awesome to stay at your hotel. The staff was very polite and the hotel was located far from the action, but extremely close to the beach. Transportion to the boardwalk was easy on the public bus. The whole facility was clean and it’s fantastic. That pets were allowed. We will remember that next time.

Pet Friendly

Decent for a quick weekend trip with the dogs. Room and bathroom were clean. No smells or stains which is nice for a pet friendly hotel. Room could use some updates, including the mattress. There is a dedicated area for pets by the pool. All in all, I would stay here again.

A nice place to stay for the money. It's a little far from the boardwalk but sometimes that's just the thing for a good night's rest.

Easily the best experience ever

What an amazing place! I cannot speak highly enough about the staff. They truly made me feel like family, and im from New York! Yes, we aren't the easiest people to get along with, unfortunately. Location was perfect, the staff was incredible, i mean actually incredible. 15 stars out of 10. What a amazing experience. I will be sure to be a life long customer. Thank you. So much. I truly dont have the words.

It's starting to show its age, but overall a comfortable stay. We liked the large fridge and the size of the room, but street traffic was an issue.

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.
