I will start with the villa which totally exceeded out expectations. The view from the terrace was mesmerising, watching the town below slowly going about its day and then the view of the caribbean sea from the infinity pool was just magical. The villa is especially spacious and very well decorated. All the amenities you could hope for. Large bedrooms with masters having en suite. Large dining room and beautiful living room with the Kitchen at the centre of it all. Perfectly set out! Tons of outside space too which is nice when you are in a group as you don’t feel you are on top of each other. location is great too, short drive to the gap, Bridgetown and oistins. Visited by the shy monkeys in a morning which made all our days :-) Brian the owner went out of his way to help with any request we made as-well as Pasquin the property manager that looked after us on our visit. Im from the uk and usually stay in hotels in Barbados but this place has totally changed my mind! If you want your own beautiful space to stay, relax and enjoy then look no further Thank you so much Brian and co for letting us stay with you! Dwayne :-)
We had a lovely stay here, the value was great and the property was even nicer in person. Mrs. Legall was an exceptional host and went above and beyond to help us out with any requests. A nice walk into speightstown which is a really gorgeous town to stay in. Would definitely reccomend this place to anyone!
First time to Barbados and couldn’t have asked for a better accommodation in a great secure location. A couple of minutes walk to the beach and restaurants and very easy routes to other parts of the island. The location is peaceful if you want it to be but also close to the busy areas should you wish to venture. The accommodation itself was brand new and very spacious, everything was in immaculate condition. The hosts were very responsive, making recommendations of places to visit and eat, as well as organising a car for us when we were struggling because of how late we had booked to fly to Barbados. Can’t recommend the location, accommodation and hosts highly enough. St Lawrence’s Gap is a great location and in my option the best beach in Barbados
A wonderful beach house with views over Miami Beach and steps from Oistins, including the islands best fresh fish BBQs.. this home is spacious and charming, with a lovely veranda and peaceful neighbors on a quiet street. Miami Beach across the road is great for morning workouts and beach frisbee/soccer, body surfing and hiking along the rock wall, or just restful suntanning on a pristine Sandy beach and bathing in crystal blue waters. It’s a short walk from Southpoint, some of the best intermediate surf on the island, and just a little further to Silver Sands, the kite surfing Mecca of Barbados.. that’s not to mention nearby St. Lawrence Gap and all the great nightlife of Bridgetown a short drive away along the south coast.. Having lived in Barbados for a few years previously, this house offers a truly authentic and exceptional Bajan experience for a wonderful getaway! Thank a lot to our exceptional hosts for hooking us all up with everything we needed, and letting us unwind stress free! It was just what we were looking for.. Best, Michael
