This was our 5th stay at Art Studios. The things that bring us back are fabulous location steps from the sea, wonderful staff that take care of everything needed and the sense of community with the people that stay here. We had a fabulous stay.

Cute, Affordable, and Well-Located!

This wonderful little property is a hidden gem on the platinum west coast of Barbados. The unit has a large upstairs balcony with gives you 'just enough' beach view while still being quiet and private. Also occupying the upstairs is the kitchen,which provides flexibility for longer stays or those who enjoy preparing their own meals. The bottom floor has large bed and bathroom w/shower. The unit is well-decorated and I arrived to find it very clean, courtesy of the on-site staff (Thanks Tonya, Meschell and Michael!). There is no air conditioning, but sleep was okay as long as the fans were running. The shower's hot water is solar heated which was sufficient on sunny days, but as I arrived during a particularly rainy weekend, I was glad to see they had an aux. water heater. Some things you'll love about Art Studios? - Easy to find right off the main road running through Holetown, everyone knew where it was if I needed a taxi. - just a 5 min walk to Limegrove Center, which is full of shopping and dining choices (and a Saturday Market). 10 min walk from Art Studio gets you to the Supermarket, gas station and countless well-reviewed restaurants. - The beach in front lies between some larger resorts and did not seem as busy as those just up or down the coast. There is a trailer with tables, drinks, food and lounger rentals called Pepperjacks that I would absolutely recommend! - A national marine park is right next door so you can pay to access that protected natural reef, or Pepperjacks can arrange a fun, 2hr snorkle with turtles and a shipwreck. - On-site staff were very helpful!! Some things to consider about Art Studios: - The units are not designed for people with mobility issues & if I was traveling with young children, I would look elsewhere. The stairs of the unit are smooth stained wood and you must use them carefully, especially with socks on. The access road to Art Studios can also get quite muddy when it rains all day. - The building is probably half a century old or older, so no A/C, just a tiny tv for DVDs, and a short supply of hot water. If you need all the amenities of a nice hotel, then staying here will require a small compromise. - The local mosquitos are smart and determined, and I was VERY thankful the hosts provided citronella candles to better enjoy the balcony. Bug spray is recommended if spending significant time on the balcony. Den and Gloria were great hosts and I would absolutely stay again at Art Studios! Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Den and Gloria

We have been visiting Barbados for over 20 years and have loved staying at the Art Studios. There aren't many self-catering options this close to the beach on the West (Platinum) Coast - it's closer than many hotel rooms!

Why they chose this property

Apartment 14 is unique within the complex as it is the only one on two levels. The bedroom and bathroom are downstairs. The Kitchen / dining area and balcony with view towards the Caribbean are upstairs.
