South Ocean Villa is a new property located in the heart of the South Coast on the beach. It is 1,200 square feet of tile, marble, and coral. It shares the same beach as four of Barbados finest resorts including the Barbados Hilton. The unique location and design by world famous architect Ian Morrison, offers breathtaking views of the entire South Coast of the island with no obstruction, and it is possibly the finest view on the island. The property sits literally in the sea and affords some of the most intensely beautiful sunrises and sunsets to be found anywhere. Its location on the main road insures that you can walk to any of the many restaurants, shopping centers, banks, and grocery stores in the area. Public transportation is located right out the door. With over 50 years experience on the island, we can help you maximize and economize your visit to our special "paradise." They just completed a new government Boardwalk which links the Hilton Beach with Rockley Beach. It is about 2 miles long and is a great place to jog, walk, and explore along the sea. Truly a beautiful addition and it is located right outside your door.
Enjoy the sound of the surf off one of your two balconies. Swim in the private pool and bask in the sun on the private sundeck. Venture on the beach to swim in the sea or walk for miles.

Why the Owner Chose Hastings
In our business, it is "Location, Location, Location." We believe we found it here.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
The addition of the new government boardwalk has increased the value of enjoyment with this property. You are now able to move quickly and safely to the beach, restaurants, and shops all while enjoying the beautiful sea. It is great to people watch and to burn off some of those "Rum Calories."
The only property on the new Boardwalk and access to all the beautiful beaches on the South Coast.

I couldn't make it due to a last minute medical situation, but the couple we usually travel with went and loved it. Location is everything. And the apartment was great. We've already booked it for February of 2013. The luxury of booking for however many nights you want is definitely a plus.

My wife and I went to Barbados for our anniversary and to celebrate my 50th birthday. We stayed in a very nice hotel on the southern tip for the first week and then moved over to the villa. Two completely different experiences and hard to compare the two but, there was no question where we would stay if we are fortunate to travel to the Island again. South Ocean Villa was perfect in every way for us. The view, location, boardwalk, beach, balconeys, pool deck and did I say view were magnificent. One morning we actually were enjoying the view and my wife spotted a mother and baby whale about 3/4 mile out. That was just one of the many bonuses we enjoyed while staying in the villa. I honestly can not say enough about the location, cleanliness of the unit and ease of doing business with the nice couple that own the unit. Enjoy your stay on the most beautiful island in the caribbean.

My husband & I have used VRBO now for 4 years and the most important factor is accuracy in the description so that one is not facing the unexpected. We spent 3 months in Mark and Susyn's condo this past Jan-Mar without one complaint. Mark was excellent to work with and everything described was not only as is, but so much better. The location is perfect for anyone, specially those that do not wish to rent a car. The bus system is great, we used it almost daily and everything that we needed for our extended stay was easily within walking distance. For us, the bonus was being on the boardwalk, which we used daily and the beautiful safe, shallow ocean swimming area, which for me being a non-swimmer, was fantastic. The amenities in the condo, the super people attending the building and the wonderful neighbourhood made our stay worry-free. Thank you, Mark & Susyn for letting us share your beautiful home.

Little piece of paradise

my wife and family stayed at the Villa over Easter and had a wonderful time, we were here for our daughters Wedding, which was at The Accra, we found the location to be perfect for both the wedding and for getting around the Island sightseeing. The Villa itself was everything and more than described in the advert. The Easter break was late this year and every other day seemed like another bank Holiday, but the extensive Kitchen allowed us to make our own meals and to be honest made a nice change. My overall memory will be, getting up on a morning with a nice cup of tea and watching the turtles feeding on the reef below, (how very English) the Tea not the turtles.
Owner response:Steve, thank you. If ever you return to our little bit of island paradise, please consider us your home.

Myself and two other adult member of my family stayed at this property from November 1-6, 2010. As the listing description stated, the condo is located on the main highway. It was easy to get public transportation right out side of the condo. We also able to walk to the bank, some food establishments and some shopping was not to far away. The photos accurately reflect the rental's appearance on the internet. We found it to be beautifully decorated, spacious and clean. We were right on the beach - just had to go downstairs and walk out the back gate. There was a boardwalk that was right in back of the condo which was good for strolling or running along the beach. The kitchen was fully equipped and had everything we needed to cook some meals and make wonderful pina coladas in a high speed blender. The washer and dryer on the premises was an added bonsus. No dirty clothes to bring home. Would recommend this property to friends and/or relatives without any reservation. Would be a place for families with children. Would return to this property again myself. Don't miss the Friday night fishfry at nearby boat yard.

This home is everything described and more. The week went too fast. Next time I come to Barbados I am going to stay for at least 2 weeks. This property is located in the most convenient spot. It is near great beaches, shopping and dining experiences. Near the Gap, but not on top of it. No need for a car. Just walk out front and you will be picked up in no time by a mini bus. Getting around is easy. The home is set up to cook up a good meal as well. I loved the kitchen! And did I mention the view?The pictures only tell half the story. Check it out.

My husband and I just returned from 10 days at this fantastic condo. The facilities are amazing, the views breathtaking. The boardwalk is directly out front with access and is fantastic and so convenient to restaurants, the beach and just exercise. The condo itself is beautifully furnished and has everything you need to spend a glorious vacation in paradise. We will be back.

My family and I stayed in the villa over the Christmas and New Year period. We couldn't have been more pleased. The villa is beautiful, new and spacious. The views are incredible. It really exceeded our expectations. We found the location to be convenient to restaurants but also very peaceful. We much preferred it to the Gap location where we had stayed during our previous visit. The boardwalk is excellent for traveling to beaches and restaurants and buses stop just outside the villa. The pool area is very pleasant with a lovely view of the ocean. We are in the process of booking our next trip back with Mark.

This was the second time that we had visited Barbados and what a good piece of luck that we managed to contact Mark Tillman and stay in his apartment at Ocean Villas. The accommodation itself was centrally situated, clean, modern, and vey well run as was the booking and service facilities. Thanks Mark for a great stay and we thoroughly recommend you for any future visitors if they don’t book when we visit again - as we definitely will.Dawn Dines
