Sunset Crest-Holetown
Holetown (and Sunset Crest next door) is the second largest city in Barbados and is located right in the heart of the west coast of the island. It is a place where history and modern development meet. Holetown is the location of the first settlement of Barbados and was originally named Jamestown, after its benefactor, King James I of England. The Holetown Monument commemorates the first English landing in Barbados in 1625.
In the years since then, the area has seen many changes and is now home to several excellent restaurants, bars, banks, the West Coast shopping mall (with a supermarket, internet and phone services and other various shops), other surrounding shopping areas, hotels, residential areas, medical clinic, police station and post office. Holetown is also the site of the annual Holetown Festival, a colourful local festival of crafts, music and historical parades!
The rental property is a cozy, comfortable, clean unit within a 5 minute walk to the public beach access entrance. It is approximately 5 minutes south of Holetown and it is also just 5 minutes north of the prestigious Sandy Lane Hotel, beach and Sandy Lane Golf Course (driving distances).
