About this property

Quiet, Ground Floor, Air Conditioned Apartment - 35 Meters To The Beach

Art Studio is an attractive, secure small complex of apartments in an enviable position on the west coast, close to Holetown, St. James. and nestled between the exclusive Sandpiper Hotel and Discovery Bay Beach Hotel. There is direct access to a beautiful beach and the Caribbean Sea.

Barbados is also famous for wonderful cuisine, exquisite rum, a thriving artistic community and the infectious beat of calypso and reggae.

As well as excellent diving, sailing and game fishing, Barbados offers plenty of opportunity for land-based pursuits, with high quality horse racing at historic Garrison Savannah, prestigious golf tournaments, top-class polo and, of course, cricket!

Full time Staff:

We are most fortunate to enjoy the services of a very loyal and professional staff.

Should you require groceries for your first night, then Tonya, our maid, will arrange this.

Tonya will clean and tidy daily, other than Tuesday, her day off and Public holidays.

The bed linen and towels will be changed twice weekly.

This maid service is included in the price of the apartment rental.

The well-established trees and brightly coloured plants give plenty of opportunity to find a secluded, shaded space with lots of garden chairs and loungers. There is a daily maid service with the bed linen, hand and bath towels changed twice weekly. We do provide beach towels. There are a number of books in the apartment giving comprehensive information on how to get the most from your time on the island. Our ground floor apartment is comfortable, and tastefully furnished with modern appliances throughout.

The bedroom has air conditioning.There is free, unlimited use of our wireless internet facilities. Art Studio has a relaxed tropical feel, and is perfect for a romantic getaway at any time of the year. The pull out couch allows for additional guests to sleep comfortably.

Places of interest:

The dazzling white beaches at Art Studio are just part of the island's beauty. The coral reefs that surround it host stunning marine life, while the landscape of sugar cane fields, pasture and native woodland are home to abundant native flora and fauna. Bajans (as the Barbadian people call themselves) are perhaps the island's greatest asset. Their friendliness is legendary and they celebrate local traditions with such pride and joy that you are bound to get drawn into the festivities. You are assured a very warm welcome from our friendly staff whose service and hospitality is second to none.

Barbados is very well served by a public bus service, which is both frequent and inexpensive.

The nearest Bus stops are very close by.
The information book in the apartment is quite detailed, but if you cant find what you are looking for, then any of the staff will be very happy to assist you.

Eating out.:

Art Studio is less than a five minutes walk from 1st and 2nd Street, Holetown, where you will find an amazing array of restaurants, bars and clubs.

If we start with 2nd Street here you will find The Piano Bar, where there is a party going on most nights of the week, but their liveliest nights are on the weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They always have live entertainment with someone on the piano, and on a Sunday evening they have karaoke. Here you can spot some very famous personalities, staying on the west coast . You will find both Mediterranean and Cantonese food nearby.

If you fancy eating Indian food then head to Sitar.

For pizza and Italian food lovers, then you should head to Spago.

For those who like French cuisine and fresh seafood,The Mews is the place for you.

The recently opened Lime Grove Complex opposite !st & 2nd Street offers further opportunities for day day time dining, together with the most impressive array of world renowned shops

Perfect Location and Nice Accommodation
We were very pleased to stay at the Art Studio which was stocked with everything we needed. Massy’s Supermarket which has everything anyone could want was a ten minute walk away. Buses stopped going both ways immediately adjacent to the driveway into the property. Best of all the beach with direct access onto it was no more than 30 metres from the bottom of the garden. During our stay we visited a good number of the Barbados beaches but thought that ours was one of the best if not the best. There are places on the beach to buy both food and drink and even a Steel Band on Sunday Afternoons. We rarely go back to the same place a second time, but we may return here at some point in the future.

Comfortable and well supplied
Having stayed at #1 Art Studios both before and after Alana has taken charge, we can say we have never been disappointed with the standard offered. The apartment offers all we need.

Perfect location and lovely people!
I was a bit nervous travelling solo, but the studio was perfect, and there were other solo travelers there to chat with in the evenings. The location was ideal, set back from the road and only 30 meters to the beach. I was able to carry a lounge chair down to the beach and just rented an umbrella from the vendor there. The bus stops in front of the property so day trips were easy and the grocery store was a five minute walk. There are also several nice restaurants within a five minute walk. Travelling alone, I don’t often go out at night, but there is a bar at the end of the laneway with Karaoke on Thursday nights and it was a lot of fun. The sea turtles and stingrays can be found 150 yards to the left and 150 yards out, and swimming with them was a highlight. The kitchen is well equipped and I did eat many of my meals in the studio. The staff is very friendly and my sheets and towels were changed regularly. I loved it and hope to go back!!

Fantastic Location!
So glad we found this listing. Close to shopping, restaurants and almost on the beach! This apartment had everything we needed for self-catering - cozy and well maintained. Communication was excellent with the owner and so easy to deal with. Definitely recommend this spot for a Barbados stay if you prefer a self-catering apartment in a great location to a busy hotel.

Great vacation
We were looking for a short vacation somewhere warm with access to a beach. We have never done a VRBO before so we gave it a shot. No regrets. Alana is a great communicator. The property is well kept and had everything we needed. We were able to walk the beach in both directions for at least an hour. Groceries and restaraunts were close by withing a 10 minute walk. The pick up at the airport was super easy, Alana arranged a cab and the driver was waiting for us when we walked out. We got a tour of the island from Amigo and learned alot from him. The others who stay at The Art Studio were friendly and helpful. We recommend this place. Five Stars out of five!

About the host

Hosted by Alana

Host profile image
I am a Barbadian Canadian and am eager to please potential guests so they make the most of their vacation. I have traveled to over 25 countries around the world, but Barbados is, by far, my favourite.

Why they chose this property

This apartment is ideal for a couples or a group of 3 and comes with a full kitchen. The layout and enclosed front room makes it feel like much more than a studio. It allows guests the opportunity to enjoy some extra space, with a comfy couch, lounger and TV, after a long afternoon on the beach.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is quietly nestled between the beach and a main highway. It's ideal if you want to see great local attractions just a hop, skip and a jump away by bus. It also works if you want a quiet, restful vacation away from it all.
