Holetown Value
Stayed for 9 days at the apartment and it was close enough to walk to beach and shopping but a bit of a climb coming back so perfect if you have a car. We rented a vehicle and it worked out fine for us. Nice quiet location. Extremely lovely hosts that accommodated any requests we had. Would recommend this apartment.

Perfect Apartment!
We loved our stay in Barbados! This apartment was the perfect location on the west side. Certainly could have walked to the beach, mall, grocery store, etc but ideally needed a car to see the island. REALLY LOVED seeing the troupe of monkeys passing by several times a day! Sonia and Ian were the perfect host, made us feel welcome and comfortable! We'll be back!

Lovely spacious apartment among gardens
The lovely spacious apartment with patio in the garden was quiet and private yet it was good to know Sonia and Ian were just next door. The bed, shower and kitchen were all great, as was the AC.
I liked the location close to Holetown, but although I am a good walker I tried to avoid the walk down the winding hill in the busy traffic and would have a car next time. I appreciated the welcome and kindnesses. Thank you!

Holetown-Lower Halcyon Heights
Very nice and clean apartment. Easy to communicate with Sonia when needed. She had a few items for us when we got there, god bless her! We kept in shape by walking back and forth to the beach.
This property is very clean and situated in a beautiful neighborhood. However, transportation is a must OR plan for a hired vehicle (Taxi, etc).
The hosts are very accommodating and wonderful a couple. Sonia (owner) made sure I had everything to my comfort and would check in periodically to ask if I needed anything. I felt at home and slept well.
I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend booking this property.

Lovely stay in Holetown
Sonia and Ian were wonderful hosts, very kind and helpful. The apartment was immaculately clean, communication was great, and the location was perfect for exploring the island. Thank you so much for hosting me in your beautiful home.
I would recommend booking a hire car as the road into Holetown has no pavement, there are a few blind corners and cars can travel quite fast. I enjoy walking and it’s only 10mins, but having stubbornly done it once I agreed with Sonia’s recommendation to drive the short distance instead!

Ian showed around the apartment and wished us a pleasant stay.
We turned in exhausted after our long flight and four hour time difference,. But the bed was so hard, we couldn’t sleep. We tried all angles,
The following day we told Sonia that it was so uncomfortable and she said no-one had ever complained. We asked for a mattress topper at least. We made up the other bed with both counterpanes under the bottom sheet, but it was just as hard. We spent two nights on this before there was a knock on the intervening door - Sonia bought in a smaller mattress and put it on top of the hard one.l. As the replacement mattress was rolling around on top of the original, we removed the original to the spare room. Only to find the it had been on the bed upside down. Further investigation found the mattress was dated 1990 and had a huge stain in the middle of the upper side. The mattress in the second bedroom was also upside down.
The sofa and chair cushions in the lounge were also very worn to the extent that we needed to double them up to prevent sitting on the wooden frames below.
The patio was fine, but had not the garden outlook we expected from the description, but was cramped into the corner of the plot, looking onto a breeze block wall and next doors tatty chain link fence. The drains from the main house were just by this patio, and let by odours quite frequently.
The original VRBO description of timing from Halcyon Heights to the beach was claimed to be 5-7 minutes walk (which has now been changed on the description from 10 - 15 minutes).
The actual mileage from the property to the beach is 1.1 kilometre and not 0.6 kilometre as described on the VRBO website.
This road has hardly any sidewalks and is extremely dangerous to walk in the daylight - so after dark absolutely a no no. Therefore we had to hire a car for the whole of the month’s period we were there.
When talking to Sonia about the main garden with its mango trees, she told us she had lived there for 20 years.
To sum up, the description of this property needs to be wholly reviewed. We spent a lot of money for a very disappointing inadequate property, and had to spend further on a car for the whole period. We are so out of pocket and think VRBO ought to check further on prop

Absolutely wonderful stay
Me and my mom stayed for 4 nights after a cruise. The apartment is located in a beautiful house with a garden in a nice, sae and quiet neighborhood. Spacious, with elegant decor, very clean and with all necessary amenities. Refrigerator, microwave, washing machine, ac are all new. The bathroom is also a good size with very good water pressure. It takes me about 7 minutes walk to the Limegrove Lifestyle Center, MS supermarket and another 5 minutes to the beach.
Sonia and Ian are very friendly, helpful and attentive. Ian met us at the port and took us to the airport on the last day. And Sonia was so kind that she even did some shopping for me.
I can only highly recommend this property if you are looking for something beautiful and affordable in Holetown.
