Barefoot Mailman - A pet-friendly oceanblock hotel with pool views and kitchenette rooms

Located in midtown at 35th Street, this 3-star Ocean City hotel offers 372-square-foot rooms equipped with king and double beds, modern kitchenettes, and semi-private balconies overlooking the pool. The Barefoot Mailman features an outdoor swimming pool with an accessible lift, high-speed WiFi, and vinyl wood floors throughout. Each efficiency unit includes a full-size refrigerator, microwave, cooktop stove, and granite countertops, while standard rooms offer a small refrigerator and microwave. The property provides daily housekeeping service and on-site lighted parking for two vehicles per unit. Guests at the Barefoot Mailman can access free children's activities at the sister property Castle in the Sand, located two blocks away. Situated just 400 yards from the beach with no streets to cross, the hotel is within walking distance to the Ocean City Convention Center and popular dining spots like Coconuts Beach Bar & Grill.

Pros

Pet-friendly amenities including treats at check-in and designated walking areas

Daily live entertainment and two-for-one happy hour at nearby Coconuts Beach Bar

Beach chair and umbrella rentals available at Castle Beach Stand

Professionally landscaped grounds with shaded areas

Cons

Pool hours limited from 8 AM to dusk during season

Beach food service only available between 36th and 38th Streets

“I find the Barefoot Mailman particularly appealing, notably for its relaxed pet policy, prime location near the beach and Ocean City attractions, and a rarity: rooms include kitchenettes, blending convenience with value. The inclusion of a daily breakfast removes a step from the morning routine, a detail that should appeal to families. It stands out as a practical base for enjoying Ocean City.”
