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 beach motel

As far as beach motels are concerned, this one was pretty nice. Clean, spacious, and with friendly staff. Also, ample parking. Well worth a repeat visit especially for the price!

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.
