The owner was really helpful and communication was great, any questions i had before and after departure were always answered straight away. The accommodation was clean and in a great location for all local amenities. I'd definitely recommend and stay there again.

Great location. Close to all amenities and great to have the beach club. A little smaller than expected. Host was friendly and helpful

thank you, it was a pleasure. please to hear Barbados worked its charm on you both.
Host was very nice & welcoming! Studio apt. was nice, comfortable & very clean. Cleaning lady comes twice per week to change towels, sheets, empty garbages and wash floors. Washer/clothesline on site.....Priviledge of using the pool/lounge chairs at the nearby "social club" - great place to socialize with others. (some planned activities) Beach is within (1) minute walking distance off "pool area".
The photos and amenities were as listed. The studio apt. is well laid out, extremely clean and very comfortable to vacation in. Host is very friendly, helpful and regularly available. Has security surveillance, maid that comes twice per week to change towels, bedsheets and sweep/wash floors. Washer on premises to do one's laundry. Wi-fi included, Minutes to walk to "social club" that has a pool, lounge chairs and steps leading down to beach area. Short (5-7) walk to "Just Grillin" and large supermarket "Massey's". Plan to definitely return in Jan. 2027 for next vacation to escape frigid cold temp. in Northern Ontario, CANADA.
There were a few rough spots...like getting the keys once I got there, and the locks were a little hard to deal with until I got used to them...but it was nice spacious room and quite clean. Lovely grounds and garden. The worst thing was the fan inside the apartment was broken but Wendy got me another on in a day or two, and the overhead fan was good enough for sleeping - I slept like a baby. I recommend!

Thank you for your review , Once we had spoken you opened the lockbox with a little help.
Sorry the other fan was not working for your arrival.
The apartment is in a great location in Holetown close to beach, restaurants, supermarket. The beach club access is definitely a plus. The apartment itself is comfy and well-provisioned for one or two people. I did have issues with the internet being out for most of my stay and was never able to access the TV either but didnt really need it. Parking is the only issue as the apartment is on a fairly busy side street and the parking is inside a gate that needs to be manually opened so its best if you don't have a car or have 2 people one of whom can jump out and open the gate. Overall the apartment is great value for a premium location.

Thank you for your review , i am sorry about the internet,it has been resolved ,Flow had to replace some cables.
A very nice property in a very convenient location. Wendy’s communications were excellent. I was in Barbados for a weeks scuba diving based in Holetown. Lots of choice of restaurants, shops etc and five mins from the beach and beach club. As a sensible precaution the property has safety bars on windows and doors that are locked with padlocks. This is just as a precaution against petty crime and a good feature. I would love to stay again. Access to the beach club is a great extra with a lovely pool to chill at.
This little gem of a property had everything we needed. Wendy gave us all the information we needed in advance and quickly responded to the few questions we had. On site Janice was great, very helpful and friendly and kept the place spotlessly clean. The property has a very nice garden with sun beds and a comfortable verandah, and is in a great location, very close to restaurants, shops and the beach club. We hope to visit again!
The apartment is so convenient for beach, pool and shops. We were here for just under a month so planned to do some cooking.. Kitchenware was very limited, fortunately I'd brought non stick fry pans otherwise cooking would have been a nightmare. The apartment is very dark but the plus sides made up for the minus, Janice really cares and looks after both tenants and the property. Mark is the maintenance man and is delightful as is Dwayne the gardener. The garden is lovely and the terrace outside our favourite place, we would return here quite happily

sorry to hear there was no frying pan ? I will ask Janice what happen to it. I would be grateful for recommendations to what else you would have like in the kitchen.
I am confused how can the apartment be dark, with 4 windows plus glass doors. there are blackout curtains, when pushed back it is very bright.
Communication with Wendy was great throughout. She always replied within half a day and instructions with regard to our arrival were clear and concise.
The accomodation is in such a great location and everything from the beach, to the supermarket and lots of great local restaurants were only a few minutes walk.
A very big bonus is the use of the beach club which is just across the road and a great benefit of renting this apartment.
Towels and sheets changed regularly by the very friendly Janice who oversees the domestic side of things locally.
Would I return -oh yes! Sooner the better hopefully.
Spent a week of rest at your apt. Check in on time. Property wS clean and quiet. Surroundings peaceful. Within walking distance to shops, medical facilities, service station, beach.. lovely
Private and very accomodating. The apartment was spacious. We felt at home. Everything was nearby and convenient. Janice is a doll. Very helpful and came twice a week to change linens and towels. Kept the place very clean inside and out. We had Wifi, TV and access to the beach club which had a very nice pool and lounge chairs. Laundry was available which we used at least weekely. We are definitely returning and recommending this place to our friends and family. BTW the owner was only a phone call and/or text message away and responded quickly if we needed help. thanks Wendy and Janice for a great Holiday in Barbados

Hi Maria. thank you for your kind comments and review. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay.
I will certainly pass your kind comments onto Janice.
look forward to welcoming you back.
Janice and Wendy
We arrived later than expected but Janice was waiting for us on arrival with a big smile. As the owner was away at the time Janice who does the laundry changeover was there to greet us.
She showed us where everything was, and then left us to settle in. It was about 6pm so we walked to the very modern Masseys. Supermarket to buy some bread and milk which is a 5 minute walk away. It took us a couple of days to get our bearings.
The property in Hibiscus Avenue is a studio apartment and is set in lovely gardens with a veranda so you can eat at a table one end or sit on the sofa the other end. There are two other studio apartments attached but they still feel private. The garden is well maintained and full of birds if you like feeding them all the better. The studio apartment is perfectly positioned in Holetown, as it’s only a 5 minute walk to the beach and the bus stop which services the west coast of Barbados. You have full use of the Beach club which has a swimming pool and bar and restaurant. All the sun beds are included. All the property owners in the area known as Sunset crest, pay a yearly subscription which allows all guests access to the beach club. I will be definitely be coming back here.

thank you for your great review,look forward to welcoming back later in the year.
The apartment was amazing. It has everything you need for two people. The bed is comfy, shower is good, air con works really well. It is in a great location, less than a 5 minute walk to everything (beach, bars, restaurants, supermarket). Being able to use the Beach Club is also a big bonus as it allows you to have a base every day should you need it, with; sunbeds, a pool, a bar, showers etc. However if you wish to travel further afield there is both a bus stop and taxi rank 2 minutes walk from the property. Wendy was amazing in the lead up to and on arrival day, our flight was delayed by four hours and Wendy made sure we would still be able to get in to the property when we arrived late at night. Janice was also lovely, bringing fresh sheets and towels twice a week. Overall we had an amazing holiday and I would highly recommend this property.
