In this cozy place we found what we were looking for: tranquility, silence, rest, relaxation. All of this in a charming space, bordered by a beautiful garden full of flowers and a relaxing view of the ocean tinted by the sunset sun. Denisse is a great host, she gave us very good recommendations and was always available to answer our questions. They were 10 days so wonderful that they seemed like too little time. If you want to disconnect from everything, this is the place to do it.

“Home away from home”
The apartment was clean and spacious with enough amenities for us to manage ourselves entirely. We came home with no washing to do because we did it in Barbados! Kitchenette was kitted out, bedding and spares provided, towels, even a few toiletries but we used the ones we brought with us. Toys and books for the kids as well as for the adults! Denise provided extra pillows when we asked for them. Being in a residential area put our minds at ease and we felt safe and welcome. The view was beautiful! The second bed is a blow-up bed but it was suitable for our three children under ten. Denise was a wonderful host and she checked in with us briefly a few times to make sure we had everything we needed and were okay, and also recommended a couple places for us to go. I would have no hesitation staying with her again.

“Spacious, clean apartment with everything you need and a lovely helpful host!”
The apartment was very comfortable and clean and had all the amenities we required. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was bright and spacious. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen was clean and we made use of the fridge, freezer and storage space, of which there is plenty. There is plenty of space in the apartment with lots of storage for clothes, shoes and luggage. The view from the covered terrace area is out into the sea, where you can watch boats and yachts sailing. The garden is beautifully kept and we regularly saw hummingbirds. The apartment was perfect for our stay - spacious & private. Denise was a brilliant host. She kept in contact with us to ensure everything was okay, gave us great recommendations for local beaches, restaurants and things to do. It was a pleasure to stay in her apartment.

“Lovely apartment with a beautiful view…such a shame we couldn’t cook the dinner or breakfast we wanted because of faulty”
The bedroom was large with a comfortable bed, lots of storage, and a/c. There was a separate kitchen area and big bathroom, with access to a lovely garden with a great view. It was nice that chocolates were provided, and orange juice, milk, fruit and bread in the fridge

Beautiful view of the ocean and a great spot to watch the spectacular sunsets. The kitchen was well-stocked for those wanting to save some money by dining in. The walk to the beach was well worth it and the walk back (uphill) will burn those excess calories gained from dining on Bajan cuisine. I suggest checking out Batt's Rock Beach and Paradise Beach if you want to get away from the crowds.

It was just as described and actually even better. The pictures don’t do the apartment and the location justice. Denise is a wonderful host with a beautiful and couple or family friendly apartment with the most amazing views and short distances to all the amazing sights and beaches in Barbados.

“Great Apartment with a wonderful Host”
The apartment is exactly as described and Denise is a very attentive host. Responsive before your arrival, during your stay, and even after your departure. She left fresh fruits and cold water in the fridge, ready at arrival, which was a great touch. The WiFi signal and speed were strong/fast and the shower pressure was amazing. Lots of additional amenities at your disposal: mosquito spray, sun tan lotion, beach towels, shampoo, etc. The garden was very well kept as well and you had a nice view.

“Fantastic!”
Denise was a wonderful hostess. On our last day she made us breakfast of local fare including bakes and fried plantains. Overall it really was an exceptionally good stay. One of the best I have had in Barbados. The apartment is perfectly positioned to get the view of the ocean. The sunsets are incredible. The yard is filled with plants of all variety, all blooming. The apartment was clean and comfortable. I liked the duplex style which gave the space depth. Denise thought of everything a visitor might need, from the umbrella to the hairdryer, the condiments and the food items in the fridge which tided us over until a supermarket trip. There were novels and board games available. Our 9 year old child loved the cats and the monkeys (those were at a distance) and took great pleasure in playing in the yard. It was a peaceful, relaxing environment to unwind and for achieving our purpose for visiting Barbados. I will stay again in the future.
