We had a great stay. The location was fantastic and very close to pool and beach. The home was very well equipped for a family beach vacation! We loved having meals on the large deck.
This was the best organized rental we have used. Communication was exceptional, rental has been recently renovated and is very clean . Close to the beach and pickle ball courts. Litchfield is a great gated community. Highly recommend Barefeet retreat
The villa was clean and well stocked. It was a great location- near the pickleball/tennis courts and the beach. The community is close to shopping, restaurants and tourist attractions. Communicating with the owner was excellent as was the guide that was provided.
We couldn’t have asked for anything more for our trip! The condo had everything we could need and had so much space! Easy walk to beach, pool and tennis! We will definitely try to stay at Barefeet Retreat again!
The property was exactly as advertised. It was very clean and convenient to the pool
and beach.
We like to cook so we are always pleased when the kitchen is fully equipped and this
Kitchen definitely was.
We loved this condo- probably the best VRBO we’ve stayed in. The owners were super helpful pre-check in sending info on the area and all details for checking in (and out). The condo is stocked with everything you could need- from beach chairs and toys to coffee, basic kitchen items, books and puzzles, etc. I’d highly recommend staying here if you’re headed to Litchfield!!
This property had EVERYTHING we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clean, organized, and just felt like a home away from home. My favorite part? The kitchen was meticulously clean! This was the first stay where I felt like I could cook without precleaning! It was amazing!

The condo was exactly as described, beautifully decorated and fully equipped.
The condo is a two bedroom, two bath home with kitchen, dining area and living area combination. It has a large porch overlooking the marsh. It is walking distance to the pool, tennis courts and beach. We were treated to a tropical storm which kept us inside for a day and a half but also allowed us to relax and enjoy the condo.
The villa is perfect and exceptionally organized. Everything you could ever need or want was provided. The area was quiet, and we were comfortable during our stay. Flet safe due to the secure access to the property as well. Something that was never lacking was communication. Very impressed!
My third visit to LBTS, and my family and I enjoyed staying at this condo. Besides being nicely remodeled and simply and attractively decorated, the owners have included a number of features that contribute to a pleasant stay. These features include comfortable beds (not too hard and not too soft), quality bed linens, good shower heads, comfortable seating, and blackout curtains in the downstairs bedroom, and I think the upstairs one as well. And importantly, we had the use of beach chairs and umbrellas. The owner was communicative and very helpful in answering questions. We wish it were a little closer to the beach but loved the beautiful marsh view. A great condo!
We enjoyed the quiet, scenic, community vibe of this property! We spent most of our time in the nearby pool or of course the ocean, so it was nice to be walkable! The selection of water toys and accessories at the property were a nice bonus. The hammock was a family favorite. Kitchen was stocked for all the cooking needs we had during our stay, another bonus! Definitely check out the PIT for a local staple not listed on the property guide. We tried the Eco Tour in Murrell’s Inlet and that was a huge disappointment, probably the only “bad” moment of the five day trip (which when traveling with kids is a pretty solid win). Overall a great trip and many thanks to Scott for the swift communication and great hospitality! PS- master bed needs a mattress pad or something a little softer, just our personal opinion. Splitting hairs, it is a great stay and highly recommend to anyone!
This was a quick weekend getaway - and unlike most of my trips - spontaneous and unplanned. After weeks of dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, I decided a break was needed from the constant scenes of destruction... caution tape, debris piles, military convoys, water supply stations, portable showers etc. Boy did I luck out finding this property!! The "newly renovated" wording caught my eye, and I love Litchfield By The Sea. Amazingly this place was available on short notice and so off we went. It is a beautiful, spectacularly clean, and well appointed villa. The virtual guest info site was super helpful and the hosts were friendly and responsive. The beds were comfy, the linens high quality (I notice things like that! 😊) with simple, modern decor. Loved the deck furniture too. The kitchen was also very well stocked.
Since we haven't had clean running water back home, we've been mostly eating pre-packaged food. When I saw how clean the villa's kitchen was, and how well stocked the cupboards and drawers were - I realized it would be fun to cook! Usually vacation for me is all about eating out and finding great restaurants. So this was a switch! But it was fun to find myself in an extremely clean kitchen complete with different types of cooking oil and even fresh unopened spices. There was also a coffee station with a fresh bag of coffee! Overall, I get the impression that the owners care for this place as if they themselves live there. I hope to return!!
This is such a clean, well appointed VRBO. We will come here again. The hosts were quick to respond to our inquiries. The location is ideal to explore this area. It’s a lovely gated community with walking distance to a nice beach area. We were two couples traveling and the two bedrooms were equal in size with each having a bathroom. We were all very impressed with how kitchen items were clearly labeled and appeared new. Beds and sheets were clean and comfortable.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The condo was spotless and we appreciated the use of the washer/dryer and the beach chairs. The condo is well equipped and comfortable. We would love to stay here again.
The villa is exactly as described, very welcoming, comfortable, and relaxing. The kitchen is well equipped and the deck is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. The hosts sent a welcome guide full of information and restaurant suggestions. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Perfect Getaway Spot!
We discovered this place last fall after Hurricane Helene, and decided to make a return trip this fall. Last year I was struck by how clean, well organized, and modern it was - and it did not disappoint this year! This property has very nice amenities, a super comfortable bed and pillows, and wonderful touches for the guests like fresh roasted whole bean coffee and a Huntington State Park pass you can use to enjoy the park, which is right down the road. We made full use of the entry pass, biked over to the park and spent most of a day there. This is a great place for a quick beach getaway. I hope we're able to return next fall!
Beautifully done townhouse, everything you need for a lovely stay. Just had a mother daughter weekend, totally enjoyed our time. Everything.Was new and fresh.
The place was beautiful and very clean! The view was amazing and it was a short walk from the pool and beach so it was a perfect location! We will definitely be back!!
