Great vacation on Barbados

Cozy apartment close to a few beaches and also shopping facilities. There was a safe, but unfortunately it did not work. The agent was informed, unfortunately the safe was not repaired or replaced until our departure. Otherwise, everything we needed was available, but the doors could do with some oiling. The furnishings are a bit dated / worn. On the whole, we enjoyed our stay there.

Clean and comfortable

The property is clean and comfortable. The properry manager is very attentive. They have pretty much everything you need in the house. It’s nice to have laundry facilities available right in the compound. It is also nice to have a small outdoor seating area. It is located a little bit in the neighborhood so it’s a good 15-20 min walk from/to the boardwalk. Can be inconvenient without a vehicle but not a bad walk and the neighborhood is nice and safe. The property is located in the bottom floor so you can hear the neighbor’s footsteps all day/night. You do get used to it after some time. Overall, recommend.

Things to have in mind when booking

Spent two weeks here on Xmas and new year , can’t fault the host and the house keeper , very helpful and welcoming people but let’s start with the house. It’s 10 min walk to the nearest beach which is very small , rocky bay and no sun lounges there so nearest beach with sun lounges is rockley beach , so check the distance if it’s ok for you to walk . it’s nice walk along the coast but it’s very hot. If you can expend your budget stay closer to the beach. The house itself is very worn down , needs repainting and updating. Cleanness is not great , kitchen cupboards smell inside , toilet does not flush properly , bedroom wardrobe is filthy in between the wooden doors, you will have trouble to fight with mosquitoes indoors as the lounge doors that lead to the patio have open area above the doors so does not matter how much you spray inside they still coming in through the gaps. Neighbors are very loud , dogs barking non stop through the night so if you are a light sleeper consider that . My daughter’s swimming costume was stolen from the garden where it was drying so please be careful of what you leave on the patio . Trudi was very kind to check the cameras but unfortunately they only show the main gate not the fence separating our villa with the neighbors.
