the hideaway

"I didn't actually meet the host but discovered where the key was after making a phone call. My stay was short as I was in transit to St Vincent but I enjoyed being so close to the beach and facilities."

"Location...across the road from boardwalk, shops, bars and beach. Comfortable, large apartment."

"Service via whatsapp was excellent, the villa is big and u have a lot of privacy, shops and ansa car rental within walking distance."

"As per the photos, the apartment was very spacious & the special touches were well thought through. Walk to the beach & restaurants / shops was only 10 minutes."

"The property has a genuine Bajan vibe about it. It's old, it creaks a bit and it won't win any award for modern minimal design... and it's all the better for it. You instantly feel at home. Beds are comfy, everything's clean and where you expect it. My visit was for a work trip so super impressed with the wifi speed and its stability which is rare for such places. Beaches, boardwalk, bar a restaurants all within a five minute walk. Host greeted us on arrival so no faffing around with key locks. There's many luxurious, five-star, modern accommodation options in Barbados. This is not one of them. Instead, you have a lovely, homely apartment in which you can't help to feel properly embedded into to the local culture. Highly recommended and proof you don't need to remortgage to enjoy Barbados."

"Outstanding private Villa in a secluded garden setting close to the main beaches in Hastings and only a short walk to Carlisle Bay / Garrison area of Bridgetown. Well equipped kitchen and great restaurants and supermarkets close by. Excellent communication from Dave and Ester and great support from the next door neighbours Indira and Orlando who were there to greet us and who couldn't have been anymore helpful."
