About this property

Beautiful Barbados Beachfront Property

Location
Number 7 is nestled on a white sand beach on the “Platinum Coast,” the calm Caribbean Sea side of Barbados. Number 7, Freshwater Bay is situated in a small complex, with beautifully maintained lush gardens. Our cheery, clean, tropical ground floor home is built for the beach: Tile floors, lots of outdoor seating, and an open kitchen plan so you don't miss out on the sea view or guests while you cook! Our upstairs unit has a large, amazing balcony with the best view in the complex. There are wonderful mosquito curtains on the balcony that don’t impede the spectacular view at all but give a bit of privacy and lots of nighttime mosquito protection!

Beach
You can stroll a good mile in either direction on the quiet beach, collecting sea shells or having a drink at a Beach Bar. Watch from afar as the cruise ships maneuver into and out of port, tour the island or stay on the beach all day long, swimming in the fabulous calm waters, hunting for Sand Dollars or watching an occasional Sea Turtle. Time slows down here.

Ambiance
After a stay at Freshwater Bay you will know you have experienced beautiful Barbados, not some all-inclusive hotel, crammed in with other tourists.

Nearby
We are in a neighborhood – actually it’s a quaint fishing village which we believe is paradise.
If you don't want to venture any further than across the road, you can visit 'Jack's Bush Bar,' listed in Zagat’s as famous for pork chops and noisy Thursday night Karaoke.

Or, support the local fishermen next door and buy the freshest fish or lobster possible.

We are 7 minutes by car from Bridgetown, the Soccer/cricket stadium, and shops galore. 20 minutes to Holetown. Carlton's supermarket, in Black Rock, is close, 7 minutes by car or a 15-20 minute walk. Massey's Groceries, or Cost U Less Groceries in Warrens, is a short drive away. Also up the road is a petrol/convenience store open 24/7. Homesick for Pizza or hot dogs? It's the place!

There's lots to do in Barbados - festivals, homes tours, walking tours, botanical gardens, and of course rum tours. We are on the West coast where there is a plethora of wonderful dining spots. Street food is fabulous, good portions and cheap compared to restaurants!

Security
Our complex features CCTV that covers car park and other outside areas for your protection.

Apt 7
We appreciated the good communication with the landlady, the apartment had a lovely garden and on a beach. However, it was located next to a power plant, a public beach which brought in loud crowds and music, and several roosters who were the very early morning alarm clock. The advertised Bush Pub across the street was open one evening just for a beer, no famous pork chops, and the Thursday Karaoke was actually late Friday night and went until 2:00 AM. Do not stay in the end Apartment #7. Things are not walking distance, so rent a car. We were able to find a very helpful Taxi driver. Barbados is reopening after a lock down from Covid and many places are still closed, so call before going anywhere. We enjoyed the lovely and friendly people of Barbados, and wish them well with reopening their country.

Found it!!
after 4 years of searching for a place to return to on Barbados, we have found it. The apartment and grounds are beautiful. proximity to Bridgetown and the South Coast could not be better. Morning strolling on the beach was amazing and the vistas are stunning. Judy, the property manager, is professional, considerate, and easy to talk to. We will be returning next year, and hopefullu many years to come!

Quiet seaside hideaway
We’re just finishing a weeklong stay and are not looking forward to leaving. The beach apartment had many features that we found to fit our needs. The neighborhood comes with a rum shop, fish market and unfortunately, a power plant. Nevermind the power plant, it’s a minor, but necessary distraction from an otherwise beautiful vacation spot. We would consider it a privilege to stay here again.

We had the most amazing stay!
This property is exactly what we needed to relax by the beach, every minute of our stay was fantastic. We had a minor issue with one of the toilet during our stay (not their fault) and it was dealt with immediately. Thank you for a beautiful holiday!

Un appartement parfait, une hôtesse parfaite, un presque-coin de paradis
L'appartement est très bien équipé, idéalement placé en bord de mer. Accès direct à la plage quasi déserte et couchers de soleil époustouflants chaque soir. Ventilation et climatisation impeccables. Un grand merci à Judy, notre hôtesse, toujours disponible, qui nous a accueillis avec un coconut bread :) Seul bémol : la proximité immédiate de la centrale électrique avec sur nos deux semaines de vacances, trois jours d'odeurs de fuel très fortes (le vent n'était sans doute pas dans le bon sens) et une journée de bruit insupportable : nous nous sommes consolés avec l'une des nombreuses autres plages magnifiques de l'île. La résidence comporte 8 appartements, la disposition fait que nous n'avons pas du tout été gênés par la présence de voisins ; au contraire le cadre rend l'atmosphère familiale. Le jardin est magnifique, entretenu chaque jour. Nous avons pu en profiter pleinement grâce aux chaises longues et au gazebo avec barbecue.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Marshall

Host profile image
Bert and I (Susan) love this place! We lead active lives in Kansas in the USA, yes Dorothy, the Land of OZ, and delight in the slower pace of Barbados. We love the great restaurants here, and as ex-restaurateurs, used to go out every evening, but now, more often that not, we buy fish from the guys next door, cook and dine on our own beach. We have made many friends among the guests and the best thing for us is that there is always someone to hang out with, or you can be totally reclusive if you wish. It's kind of like old college days, where you can go from unit to unit finding out what everyone did that day, hitch a ride to the grocery store, share a book, or get the scoop on what sights to see or where to go. The staff here is exceptional, Judy will help you have a fabulous time, tell you what to do, what not to do and arrange trips, car hire and boat rides, etc. Dog lovers that we are, we love it here so much, thru the years we have brought back three beach dogs!

Why they chose this property

The outside of the apartments have just been freshly painted and look great!
We purchased our duplex at Freshwater Bay in 1985 after my husband fell in love with this area. We add amenities and focus on one new project each year. The bathrooms were recently remodeled. In 2012 we put in new stoves, refrigerators and new windows. In 2014 we replaced the doors and curtains in both units and in 2016 installed a beautiful new tile floor upstairs. Mosquito curtains were installed on the upstairs balcony this year. Our big project in fall 2019 will be a complete demolition of the downstairs kitchen and installation of granite countertops and beautiful cabinets. There are new twin beds in the second bedroom upstairs and a new air conditioner in the second downstairs bedroom.

The swimming on our beach is fabulous, with great sea shell specimens, interesting coral and sea glass to be found. Freshwater Bay is old Barbados – not overbuilt. The beach is quiet, not full of tourists. Walk North up the beach a bit to see where Four Seasons is building a posh resort. I can walk for a mile without seeing another person some days. Stroll South if you're more of a people watcher, and you’ll go by the Power Plant, (the only flaw in our paradise) Mt. Gay Rum, Cockspur, Weiser's Beach Bar, and the Brighten beach community, a lovely quiet, neighborhood of beach homes.

We enjoy the fact that Freshwater Bay is its own little United Nations: British, Canadian, American, and local owners. As they say in Barbados, “All Visitors Welcome!”

What makes this property unique

Our Barbados home is very comfortable, decorated in tropical colors with spacious bedrooms. We are on the quiet side of the complex. The staff make the experience fantastic, from the manager Judy Marshall, to Carl the gardener and Nikki, the housekeeper. They are proud of their island and understand the true meaning of hospitality. There is true camaraderie here. Bert & I know you will enjoy this peaceful, unique spot. ALSO, if you are traveling with other families and need more room the condo above & behind is available as well.
