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 really lovely spot!

The apartment was spacious (perfect for 4), clean, comfortable, bright and airy and conveniently located to beaches, restaurants, bars and public transport. All that and located at the quiet end of the street. The balcony was a great spot to take morning coffee and meals and the pool a relief to have to relax in at the end of the afternoon. This property fully met our expectations.

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.

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.

Our stay at Mango Crescent

Great location close to beaches, shopping, restaurants. Loved having the pool to cool off in at the end of the day. Enjoyed meals on the verandah.

Quaint comfortable villa.

Great location. Loved the pool. Well stocked kitchen. The only issue we encountered was with the plumbing. No hot water! Previous renters did not report it to the property manager. Lawson, the manager, addressed it immediately but unfortunately it could not be resolved during our one week stay. Regardless, I would definitely recommend this property!

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.

Lovely Apartment in a Great Area!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - it was an easy process from start to finish! Mark was responsive initially and then when we got to Barbados both William who picked us up at the airport and Lawson who greeted us when we arrived at the apartment made it very easy to settle in and answered all our questions. The apartment has everything you need (except beach towels which might be nice if they were available) and is as shown in the pictures. We loved the veranda in the morning and the beach is an easy walk away - we spent several days at Alleynes Bay - look for Rico's on the Beach for beach bed rentals and JuJu's Beach Bar for easy access to food and drinks! There are many restaurants within walking distance and Holetown for shopping is about a 20 minute walk or quick bus trip away. Thanks for sharing your lovely home and island!

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 !

A lovely apartment in a lovely location!

We had a wonderful week in this great apartment. The photos don’t do it justice especially the verandah which is just amazing for breakfasts watching the monkeys & sundowners watching the amazing sunsets! Fantastic location, just 5 minutes to the beaches & just away from the main road, so peaceful & quiet. Walking distance to Lonestar & Santi’s, definitely recommend Santi’s for happy hour & inexpensive meals. Well equipped villa in a small friendly complex. Mark & Sheila were very helpful when booking, sending lots of useful information & very efficient in all respects. Would definitely book here again. Ideal for 2 couples or a family.

We loved it here!

We stayed here for 9 days and it was perfect. The island has a lot of unique sections/neighborhoods and we visited all of them but I think this place was the best location. You are able to walk to the beach and to some bars and restaurants, (The Sea Cat restaurant was our favorite) although we really enjoyed having a car. The place is very clean and large. The pool is a nice benefit and we made breakfast and sat on the side deck every morning. Mark and Shelia were very accessible via email and always quick to respond. We would recommend this place for sure and hope to return one day.

Delightful stay in a first class apartment

Everything was easy from the start. The owners were very helpful and the friendly house manager was on site to begin with to show us the ropes. This is a lovely, spacious apartment. The huge 6 foot bed in the main bedroom is so comfortable, as is the sizable well-equipped kitchen/lounge. Apartment and pool are clean and efficiently maintained. The secluded long balcony is to die for - overlooking an orchard with playful monkeys for entertainment. We loved to relax there on the hot afternoons and watch the fireflies twinkle in the evening. The coast here is beautiful - Glitter Bay to the right (and it does) but our favourite to the left, Heron Bay, is away from the larger beaches and has shade as well as sun. We didn't need a car on the island and always walked to Holetown (20 minutes on the road, a bit longer splashing along the seafront) where the Surfside bar/restaurant is a must, and the huge Massy supermarket is across the road. Once or twice we had bought heavy provisions and a quick ride on the bus was the answer. Try Santi's bar and restaurant, we loved it, but we always wanted to spend time on that balcony. Quite honestly 5 stars does not do justice to this apartment - we'd give it a lot more if we could. We had a wonderful time. Can't wait to get back.

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.
