Make Memories at Barefoot Daze

Your Pet-Friendly OBX Dream Home
Imagine waking up to the fresh salt air, sipping coffee on a sun-drenched deck, and spending your afternoons lounging by your own private pool. Barefoot Daze isn't just a place to stay—it's where your best vacation stories begin.
Whether you're playing fetch in the fully fenced backyard or relaxing in the hot tub after a day at the beach, this modern Kitty Hawk retreat is designed to keep every member of the family—including the four-legged ones—perfectly pampered.

The Home Experience
Top-Floor Living & Dining: The heart of the home is on the top floor to maximize natural light and views of the ocean. This open-concept space features a gourmet kitchen with sleek granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. For your convenience, a chic half-bath is located right off the kitchen and dining area.
The Bonus Basement Lounge: The ultimate "extra" space to relax! This lower-level hangout features a large 60” flat-screen TV, a cozy couch, and a loveseat—perfect for movie marathons. This area includes a mini-fridge, dedicated ice maker, and microwave for your movie snacks and cold drinks.

Poolside Convenience: Since the lounge is just steps from the pool, you can keep your refreshments within arm's reach all day without ever having to go upstairs.

No-Mess Outdoor Access: No need to track water through the house! We have a dedicated outdoor half-bath located right next to the pool area, along with a refreshing outdoor shower to wash away the salt and sand.

Outdoor Oasis
Private Pool & Hot Tub: A sparkling backyard pool for daytime splashes and a bubbling hot tub for stargazing at night.
Fenced-In Yard & Games: Relax knowing your dog has a safe, enclosed space to explore. The yard has plenty of room for a game of cornhole (boards provided!), and we’ve stocked plenty of beach and pool toys for your enjoyment.

Panoramic Decks: Multiple levels of decking offer the perfect vantage point for morning coffee or evening cocktails.
Beach Ready: A 4-minute stroll brings you to the pristine, pet-friendly sands of Kitty Hawk.

Sleeping Arrangements (Sleeps 6)
The Coral Reef Master Suite: King Bed with a private en-suite full bathroom and direct deck access for peaceful morning views.
The Dune Den: Queen Bed with direct deck access; shares the spacious, well-appointed hallway full bathroom.
Sky Suite (The "Work-from-Beach" Suite): Queen Bed plus a Twin Rollaway. This room features a dedicated desk and workspace, ideal for staying connected, and shares the hallway full bathroom.

The Heart of Kitty Hawk: Milepost 3.5
You’re perfectly positioned at Milepost 3.5, the sweet spot of the Outer Banks where local charm meets coastal adventure. Everything you need for the ultimate getaway is just a quick stroll or a 2-minute drive away.
· Golden Sands & Salty Air: You are just a 4-minute stroll from the iconic Kitty Hawk shoreline. Whether you're here to hunt for sea glass or catch a world-class sunrise, the ocean is practically your backyard.
· Local Eats:
o Art’s Place: A local legend! Grab a burger and head to the "Sway Bar" on the roof for a view of the Atlantic.
o The Black Pelican: Fresh seafood and wood-fired pizzas in a historic former Lifesaving Station.
o Hurricane Mo’s: Legendary for its massive sunset deck and the "best happy hour on the beach," featuring famous $0.25 shrimp, $0.50 wings, and fresh seafood.
· A Foodie’s Paradise (Under 5-Minute Drive):
o Bad Bean Baja Grill: Modern Mexican-Asian fusion that locals crave.
o I Got Your Crabs: The go-to spot for the freshest blue crabs and seafood platters in the neighborhood.
o Barefoot Bernie’s Tropical Grill: A family favorite for island-inspired dishes and a great sports bar vibe.
o Duck Donuts: A trip to the OBX isn't official until you've had a warm, custom-glazed donut from the nearby KDH location.
· Explore the Banks: You're a short drive from Jennette’s Pier for fishing and the breathtaking dunes of Jockey’s Ridge State Park. For the shoppers, the Outlets Nags Head and local boutiques are just down the road.

Barefoot Daze was exactly as described. The house was very clean and comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen. There were a lot of beach accessories in the outside shed to take to the beach. The pool and hot tub made for some wonderful nights of sitting in the back yard with the family talking and swimming. Very short, easy walk to the beach. I would have no hesitation to rent this house again for our next trip to the Outer Banks.

Came down for my mother's retirement trip and this exceeded our expectations. Easy communication for checkin as well as during our stay. Short walk to an amazing beach, the backyard was perfect, the pool was nice and the hot tub was a life saver. The only thing I want to let people to know is if you have bad knees this house might not be for you, the kitchen and living room is on the third floor and some people in our party did not like that, me personally I did not care, but just something people should be aware of

Great time!

This home was perfect for a big group of friends and our children. They house had everything you could need, pool toys/floats, beach toys, chairs, bikes, shop vac for sand, huge ice maker, extra refrigerators. There were extra beds that we weren’t expecting (twin fold up, couch pull out and full in the sunroom). One thing the house did not have dish towels in the kitchen. Walkable to the beach and close to stores and restaurants. We noticed a lot of white dog hair throughout the house and the vaccum cleaner did not work very well. Overall we had a great time!!

Overall Great Stay!

The location of this house was wonderful!!! Quick and easy walk to the beach. We loved the hot tub since it wasn't quite warm enough for the pool. My biggest complaint is there was pet hair all over the floors, so just something to note if your group has any pet allergies. Plenty of parking. It could just be my prior experiences but it did kind of stink having to make our beds. I also wonder if the comforters are also washed regularly since we are instructed to leave those on the bed. Overall really enjoyed our stay here and we would definitely stay here again.

Just okay

I have never had to put linens on a bed in any of the rental properties I’ve ever stayed in or put towels in the bathroom until this place.There was dog hair all over the place and we did not bring dogs. My husband found a roach. Unimpressed. The location to the beach is nice but next door to the south is a rundown shed someone is living in.

Worst Vacation Stay

We didn't have hot water for days, the door locked was broken on the day we checked in (security issue), roaches, the room with bunk beds smelled like sewage (unusable), their pool guard system was broken (security issue). When we contacted the property manager, Mike, instead of coming over to manage the plumber and handyman, he asked us to do that. One of us have to stay back instead of enjoying our vacation. We paid thousands of dollars for this property. We asked Mike to give us some kind of compensation for our time and grief. His response is the owners are on vacation and we issue refunds after the 14 to 16 days after the owners payout. He needs to contact them first. It is hard to believe with technology that the owners can't read emails overseas. Mike said he will get back to me and he never did! This property is a scam! The pool bar, BBQ grill and inside the house were dirtyyyyyyy and had roaches. Worth Vacation Stay EVERRRRR! Don't waste your money.

Great home but a lot of work

This is a great home. Plenty of space, outdoor space is amazing, location to beach is really close and great sunrise and sunset views from the decks. There is some maintenance needed between stays. There was an awesome freezer in the outside bar but it wasn't actually cold enough and was filled with dirty water. The grill works great but has no cover so had water in it, and initially had an empty propane tank and was covered in cobwebs. Also the listing advertised linens included, but this meant the linens are rented and you need to make all the beds when you get there. In our case the rental company messed up and the linens weren't there. The property manager was very responsive and got it resolved, but it still meant we could only start making the beds, showering, etc at 9pm. Also, as advertised you need to supply your own soap, paper products, etc. We've stayed in houses where this was the case but many things had been left by others, but not here. You really need to do a major Walmart shop to set up the house. It's great there are five bathrooms and three showers, but you'll need to go buy hand soap, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc for each bathroom if you want to use them, and also try to spread out the few rented towels across all the bathrooms, or get your own towels. Similarly in the kitchen, you'll need to buy garbage bags, dish soap, dishwasher soap, sponges, tin foil, etc. Overall, great house and management but setup is lacking.

We enjoyed our stay in Kitty Hawk. Great location, short walk to the beach, the road around isn’t too busy. The house is very nice. Lots of steps, 3 floors, so be prepared for that. My mother is 77, but she was able to do them. The bicycles were great, my son and I enjoyed a ride every evening. The pool area is just the perfect size.

Dog hair covered house

House was nice, but covered in pet hair. We arrived early due to an incoming storm and messaged the manager to see if we could check in early. He said cleaning should be complete between 2-3 due to a late check out and we could go in then. Cleaning was not complete until after 4pm (check in time) so we had to sit in the driveway and wait. Property is listed as no pets and several family members (including 3 kids) are allergic to dogs. We rent a home every year and have never had this issue. I communicated the issue on the first day to the property manager and he said he was sorry and could have the cleaning lady come vacuum. I had already vacuumed by the time he responded. The vacuum was left by the cleaning lady with a canister full of dog hair, after I vacuumed the canister was full again. Dog hair was throughout the entire property, including piles under the beds. I again let the property manager know that the dog hair was a problem as it was everywhere and several family members were having allergies. He let me know it was the owners dog and the owner had been there making repairs. He also stated that we were the first guests of the season, which did not align with the previous late check out message. With the amount of dog hair everywhere, this property needs to include a clear message that people with pet allergies should not rent this property. If the owner can’t respect guests time or health, this shouldn’t be a vacation rental.

Great Stay

Our friend group just wrapped up a weekend stay at Barefoot Daze. It was fantastic....house was clean, plenty of refrigerator space, ice machine was great for making drinks, hot tub & pool were clean and it's a close walk to the beach. The backyard is great for being outside & enjoying the weather. It's also really close to getting on/off the island and reasonably close to everything in town. Out only request would have been linens (I may have missed that when coordinating this house) but overall that didn't take away from a great weekend.

Nice house with many ammenities

We had a lovely stay at this beach house. Nice space for many to sleep and hang out. The kitchen is a bit on the smaller side and it would’ve been nice if there was even a starter roll of paper towels, toilet paper or hand soap. We flew in and I had to spend half a morning shopping for towels, aluminum foil, etc. It was a waste of money because I had to buy many things that I then had to leave behind. Would’ve loved some chairs on driveway side porches as that is where the sunsets and we wanted to sit out to enjoy but had to drag kitchen chairs outside. Otherwise, a lovely home as advertised.
