We had a great stay and enjoyed our time here. Right next door to the Waterfront restaurant! It was nice to walk across the street and sit on the bench and look out at the ocean! The only startling and slightly annoying part was he childproof door alarms that are SUPER loud and WICKED sensitive. I appreciated the safety and understood the need but we don't have kids so it felt unnecessary! We'll definitely consider going back, thanks so much!
Tristan - Posted: 2/14/2026
So happy you had a great stay, Tristan! Barefoot by the Bay at Bayside Bungalow by AMI Locals really is in a sweet little spot—being right by The Waterfront and able to stroll across the street to sit and watch the water… that’s island living at its best. And yes, those door alarms definitely make themselves known 😅 They’re required for pool safety, so they’re built to be extra sensitive and loud on purpose. We know they can catch you off guard, especially without kids in the group, but we appreciate you understanding why they’re there. We’d love to see you back on the island again soon!

The location is fantastic!
Great layout and fantastic location. The parking is also convenient. We had a wonderful stay and the management company was very easy to communicate with. The only issues that may be helpful for future guests were that footsteps and general noise from the guests in the second floor rental can be heard in this unit. We also found the king size bed in this unit quite noisy and not very comfortable. Fortunately, the positives outweigh the two negatives so we would definitely stay here again

Wonderful!
We really enjoyed our visit. Property was close to the beach, spacious and clean. We used the kitchen multiple times for breakfast lunch and dinner. We walk to ice cream every night and the shops on Pine Avenue. Even with the shared pool we pretty much had it to ourselves the entire time. Only drawback to the property would be the sound of people walking upstairs and early morning deliveries across the street for the restaurant. We will definitely stay here again and we’re very happy with AMI locals

Great place to stay when on the Island. Pool was nice and the unit was clean and updated. It can get a little noisy if there's someone staying in the unit above you, especially if there are kids running around. Overall very good experience and would stay again.
