About this property

Charming West Coast Two Bedroom Apartment - Close to Lovely Beaches

NB Barbados has largely kept Covid under control - and we are also committed to keeping our guests as safe as possible. Please ensure you read and follow the Covid regulations for Barbados on the government website.

This two-bedroom apartment is in the heart of the Platinum Coast - the fabulous west coast of Barbados, renowned for its golden beaches and warm calm sea. The apartment is situated 5 minutes’ walk from the sea at Glitter Bay. You can walk along the beach in both directions and find small restaurants and cafes in which to sit and have a drink or something more substantial. You can swim with the turtles and enjoy snorkeling along the coral reefs. The apartment is located in a small, quiet gated community of six apartments which nestle around a small swimming pool. It is on the first floor and therefore gets a refreshing breeze blowing through. There is space for parking a car outside – although renting a car is not necessary, as two minutes’ walk away there is an extremely frequent bus service which will take you to all parts of the island. Holetown, the island’s main shopping centre is 10 minutes away by bus (and includes a large supermarket).
The apartment is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing time. There are two bedrooms. The main bedroom has a very large double bed and the second bedroom a smaller double bed. The apartment is best suited for two people (though a third can be easily accommodated (for an additional fee). There are two bathrooms – one en suite. It has a fully fitted kitchen with a large fridge freezer, hob and oven, microwave and washing machine. The large lounge has a west facing deck overlooking a fruit orchard where monkeys come and play in the morning and the sun goes down in the evening. There is fibre optic Wi-Fi and multichannel satellite TV. The apartment is extremely well maintained with a weekly maid service and a manager available to sort out any problems.

A perfect place!
You cannot separate the property from the place. They are both welcoming and relaxing. We have enjoyed both Barbados and our apartment as if they were home. The apartment is well positioned to access the island’s facilities with the view from the balcony giving a flavour of what to enjoy on this beautiful island paradise. The apartment is very clean and well equipped with easy access to public transport to take you to the main towns on this side of the island. It is also literally a couple of minutes walk to breathtaking tropical sandy beaches which feel like the beating heart of the island.

Lovely apartment amazing balcony
We have just spent a week at this lovely apartment. The balcony is a really exceptionally nice addition and watching the monkey family every morning and feeding the adorable birds was so lovely and relaxing. We would definitely come back. Lawson the manager was really helpful and welcoming.

Tranquil breezes
Really comfortable and well equipped apartment in excellent location. We had a very enjoyable 17 night stay over Christmas and New Year. Lawson was helpful on check in and Monica the housekeeper did a super job ensuring the apt was spotless and linens changed. The balcony was lovely and breezy in the morning, the cute family of monkeys fun to watch as we had coffee and delicious almond croissants from the nearby french bakery. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely large apartment in a fabulous location !
The apartment is much larger than the pictures would suggest. It has a lovely veranda where we did spot monkeys most mornings taking fruit from the land next door. On the day we arrived we were met by Lawson who showed us around and how everything worked. He did also check in the next day to make sure we were okay. The location is fabulous you can walk to a lovely part of the beach in 5 mins and rent a deck chair and parasol and spend all day there ! Would we stay again ? Of course we would !

Why they chose this property

This is the place for you if you want your cake and you want to eat it too. In other words, it is the perfect escape - a place to get away and reclaim your life and the space to think, create and relax. On the other hand, because it is only five minutes' walk from a string of idyllic beaches and beach bars, it is the perfect place to get the most out of the sea and the thrill of watersports. Then again, lively and fashionable Holetown is only 10 minutes away on wheels (the bus-stop is two minutes walk away) ... its fancy restaurants and shops, as well as authentic Bajan culture and cuisine are on your doorstep. This apartment is our home - not just another soulless rental - it really is a home from home. A week is fine - but come for longer if you can. Feel the sun on your face and the sand under your feet. Reclaim your life in the cool peaceful charm of the apartment - and in the warm, turquoise waters of the Caribbean.

What makes this property unique

A comfortable, cool and quiet apartment but in easy reach of the restaurants, bars and shops in Holetown and the glorious beaches of the Caribbean.
