Reduced rates for 2013! A newly built modern 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom condominium on the second floor with a partial view of the ocean and only 10 minutes from the airport. The condo can also be rented as a 2 bedroom, where the middle bedroom (queen bed) will be locked off. See 2 bedroom rates below.
Situated on the world famous St. Lawrence Gap, this luxury complex is centrally located in a section of The Gap that has a local feel. From the condo, it is a short walk to many shops, great restaurants and ample night life with live entertainment. Pristine Dover Beach is less than a 100 yards away. While Dover Beach is only a quarter mile long it offers waves big enough to surf as well as water that is calm enough for the inexperienced swimmer to negotiate. The beach offers chairs and umbrellas (ask for Charles or Tiger) for a small fee. In addition, you can enjoy water sports - diving, snorkeling, sailing, surfing, windsurfing, paragliding and jet skiing. There are many types of tours/excursions available or you can tour yourself by renting a car. A mini mart is located adjacent to the complex and a bank is a short walk down the Gap.
Rockley Golf course is only 2 miles from the apartment and the Barbados Golf Club is only 3 miles away. Tennis courts can be rented at the Southern Palms hotel just down the road. Oistins, the fishing hub of the island is a quick 10 minute cab ride away. There you can enjoy the fresh fish of the day and an entertaining carnival atmosphere. Bridgetown, the Capital, which is the main port, offers even more great shopping and is only a 15 minute cab ride away.
This beautifully furnished and spacious condo features a master bedroom, en-suite, with a queen size bed and access to the balcony. The second bedroom also has a queen size bed. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds. Each bedroom has ample closet space. Linens, bath and beach towels are provided as well as maid service once a week. All rooms including the dining area and living room (which also offers access to the balcony) have air conditioners as well as ceiling fans. The unit also boasts a modern, fully equipped kitchen with a dish washer, ice maker-water filtering two door refrigerator, microwave, coffee-maker and toaster oven. Cable TV, a DVD player and stereo/CD player as well as internet access (sorry, no computer supplied) are also part of this unit. A washer and dryer are also located in the apartment. Off street parking is located in the rear of the complex. This complex is also wheelchair friendly.
Two other notes: There is a hair dryer in the master bathroom. The electrical outlets in Barbados are the same as those in the US.
This condo is non-smoking.
No pets are allowed.

We stayed here to celebrate my daughter's 6yr old bday. The place is exactly as described, everything went smoothly from the initial contact thru this site all the way to departure. The beach is nearby, taxis are right outside the condo and is not expensive to get to anywhere on the island. We stopped at a grocery store before heading home after our first day out exploring, we supplemented with supplies from the mini mart next door and i brought some food items and basic necessities from home. The beach is walking distance and we walked there easily with my 6yr old and 1 yr old (in a stroller) daily. The condo is clean, well furnished and had plenty of space for my family of 5 adults and our 2 kids. The place is comfortable with a/c in every room (we had family members that stayed somewhere else not realizing that a/c is not central and is not standard in every room of a rental). Robert is prompt in answering all my questions and the management company was efficient in checking us in and out. Everyone had such a great time. Thank you very much for sharing your home with us and we look forward to going back there again!Recommended for: Families with young children, tourists without a car.

My friends and I stayed in this condo for our annual Crop Over trip which lasts 8 days. The property was beautiful and in the most convenient location. The owner was very helpful and always available via email to answer any quesions we had prior to our arrival. The pictures don't do the place any justice. There were no problems with anything within the unit during our stay and the cleaning lady was very nice. I have nothing bad to say about unit 202. We plan to book this unit for next year as well! P.S. thanks for having boogie boards in the house...they were such a perk!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

My husband, brother, myself, and my two year old son stayed at the condo for 10 days in April 2011. We had an incredible vacation and fell in love with Barbados. The beaches are pristine, the food is amazing, and the people are so welcoming. The condo is beautifully decorated, modern, clean, well-kept, and a perfect size. Looked exactly as the photos portrayed. There was a key pad entry into the building which was nice. It was quite loud at night due to the two bars right across the street. But after a few nights we were surprisingly used to it. The location is great and so close to everything. You don't need a car and if you feel like venturing out the cabs and buses are everywhere. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking for an exciting vacation experience. The gap is not a quiet, slow paced area. The nightlife is a lot of fun and the restaurants are quite good. We really liked cafe sol for the burritos and margaritas! Enjoy Barbados and this condo. Both are so welcoming and it will quickly feel like home. We all can't wait to go back.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

We were very happy we rented this condo instead of staying at a hotel. Our kids were very comfortable in the room that had two twin beds, the master bedroom's bed was very comfortable, the condo had enough room for the four of us to spread out as if we were at home. Dover beach is very convienant, just a few blocks walk with a nice pavilion where you can get a drink or lunch. Although it rained a few times the showers did not last long and before you knew it the sun was shining again. The condo had just about everything you could think of needing, including boogie boards and a small cooler we used to take with us to the beach. Barry's surf school is just right across the street, my boys thoroughly enjoyed that, & well worth the money. Everything is within walking distance except for a few excursions but is was not a problem because you can be picked up by a charter van upon reservation. We did so many things in one week, Oistins Friday fish fry, Catamaran boat ride and swimming with the turtles, Harbour Lights Show which the kids loved, then toward the end of our vacation to save some money we went to St. James to snorkel at the underwater museum, you just need to rent snorkling equipment which they provide there, the next day a really nice cab driver took us to see the Harrison Caves where he waited for us and then took us to Oistins beach to feed the turtles at a cost of $70.00 for the whole day spent with us. You can buy fish right at the market in front of the docs for a mere $5.00 and the turtles will come right up to the doc where you can get wonderful pictures. We can't wait to come back.Recommended for: Girls getaway, people with disabilities, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

Great stay! The condo is very spacious, super-clean and oh-so conveniently located. It's just a few minutes walk to two spectacular beaches, next to a small supermarket, across from a great local lunch place (Scotty's) and down the road from a number of fantastic restaurants (I highly recommend Pices if you love seafood). A playing field about a hundred yards away has cricket matches some nights. Helpful information about the local area and recommendations by the owners and the managing agents are provided in the condo. Personally loved the fact that the kitchen was fully equipped, and that beach towels were provided. As for the beaches, the water is warm and clear, the sand white and fine. The close end of Dover Beach is perfect for small children, with shallow calm water. The other beach (never did find out the name) has more waves. Between the two, you can rent surf boards, windsurfers, sit-on-top kayaks and small catamarans. Rented two chairs and an umbrella on Dover beach from Charles--he'll give you a discount if you rent for five days or more. Although I'm not runner (I choose to swim), Dover Beach seems to be a great place for running in the a.m. There are two car rental places nearby and taxis are always readily available should you desire to explore. We rented a car for a day and managed to see the entire island (a whole country in a day!), although if you're unaccustomed to driving on the left you may want to hire a taxi for the day. Also had a really great surf lesson at "Dead or Dread" surf shop--they're in Hastings but will pick you at the condo. Altogether had a wonderful, relaxing time. Am already missing the sounds of the whistling frogs in the evenings, and having breakfast on the balcony in the mornings...Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

We highly recommend this property and promise you will not be disappointed! The condo is spacious, immaculate and centrally located. We are picky travelers and would not have changed a thing.The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are beautiful and the kitchen had everything you could ask for. Having a washer and dryer was especially useful. Beautiful beaches are steps from the condo, and many delicious restaurants are in walking distance. We toured the island with a friendly cab driver and he proudly showed us the capital, tropical gardens, scenic views and monkeys. We loved our stay at this condo.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

Incredible value. What a beautiful stay we had. The accomodations where convenient to all. The only time we needed a cab was from the airport and back. A short walk to a beautiful beach. I was surprised about the many inexpensive yet fabulous dining options. Have already booked for next year.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2
