Welcome to Barefoot and Salty. This perfectly designed (with vacationers in mind) and newly remodeled beach house is perfect for those who want to be minutes from the beach, eateries, and nightlife but yet want a quiet stay in Old Town.

Beach Vacay

We had a great time staying here. We really enjoyed the pool and outdoor area. With 2 littles ones we could only spend so much time on the beach. It was nice to come back to the lovely outdoor area and spend time in the pool. Would definitely stay here again!

Best vacation home

My family stays in Port A every year and this home was by far the best. We usually forget something small, like cooking oil or extra beach towels. This home had quite literally everything you would need. Even items for children (cups, plates, silverware) and things for dogs as well. Communication was also fantastic. Quick to respond and very helpful with any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!

Barefoot and Salty Vacation

Great property, location and property management attention. Upon checking in I needed help with the nest thermostat. Spoke to the local property management firm and they were going to send someone out within the hour. Reviewed a u-tube video and figured it out but called them back to cancel maintenance. They were appreciative and told me to call back anytime and they’d promptly help. Property was well maintained and provided an excellent stay. Very happy with AvantStay and their local mgmt firm.
