Spacious property in great location

We had a wonderful stay at the property. It was stocked with everything we needed and had lots of room for our group of five adults and two under the age of three. We had great communication with the hosts and property manager throughout and they accommodated all of our requests for our stay. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting and wanting to stay in one of Barbados’s central locations!

Lovely stay for my wedding

Superb property in the gap but just far enough removed to not be bothered by late night parties. Owners and housekeeper were excellent, couldn’t do enough for us even during storm Dorian. Would highly recommend and use again. Big thank you to Sandy and Dawn

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Marshall

We are a semi-retired couple from Ottawa, Canada who have been vacationing in Barbados for many years. We bought this house to have a place to call home for our family and friends while on the island and we hope everyone will enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

After many years of vacationing on the south coast of Barbados we chose to purchase this property because of its location. While within close walking distance of our favourite beaches, restaurants and bars, this house is located on a very quiet street and is therefore perfect for a relaxing vacation. There is a small grocery store at the end of the street and the public transportation routes are only a couple of blocks away. The house is well constructed and secure with burglar bars on all windows and front and back doors. And everyone loves the back patio - for enjoying a morning coffee, al fresco meal or evening drink - it is a peaceful place to sit and watch birds and a family of green monkeys when they come to feed on our banana trees.
