Wonderful Place to Stay in Barbados

Seaspray at Half Moon Fort is the perfect place to stay on Barbados. The deck overlooking the beautiful Caribbean Sea provides awesome sunsets and a wonderful opportunity to look right down into the sea and through the crystal clear water you can see the fish and coral below. Your own access to the water is a great way to cool off or stroll two minutes to virtually your own beach. The owners have provided all the amenities: a full kitchen, washer and dryer, ceiling fan (though with the wonderful breezes it was hardly needed), a/c in the bedrooms, even WIFI if you want to stay connected. The apartment was clean and well kept. A quick walk you are at the local market for most of your needs. There is an oceanfront restaurant (Merton’s) across the street from the little market serving fresh fish which was delicious. There is access to public transportation to get to almost anywhere on the island. Seaspray is away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts yet convenient to the necessities. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else, it was the perfect choice.

Owner response:It was such a pleasure to read your response and we are very happy you and your husband had a fantastic time. We Thank you for choosing Sea Spray and we hope you come back again soon. Les and Linda

Real Oceanfront

If you want real oceanfront, look no further. The view is spectacular from the balcony. Its a Jaw-Dropper the first time you see it. You can always hear the ocean waves coming into the shore. The small sandy beach is virtually your own, as it is protected by coral rock both sides and a larger beach is a short walk south (Bring your snorkel gear). Villa is well-equipped, clean, modern and was spacious enough for the four of us. We were very comfortable at Seaspray; we believe it is very good value for money. The bus stops nearly right outside, but a car will come in very handy as the Villa is set in a small village location. Definitely not the St. Lawrence Gap. Moontown is a short walk and the supermarket there sells nearly everything you could need. Mertons is a must-do for the fish fry - Oceanfront dining on a budget, but the BBQ fish is fabulous. The Fish-Pot restaurant is close by (you could walk it but we chose to drive) and very good. The owner of Seaspray was very welcoming and attentive. We would go back again, for sure.

We just came back from 4 nights at seapray cottage in Jan and the images on the website do not do it justice - the view is incredible! From anywhere in the cottage you can hear the gentle crash of the waves and you can easily go out for a swim and snorkel (dont forget to bring!) by taking a few steps just a few feet below. Karen, Trisha, and Peter were truly welcoming and provided all the information we needed to have a wonderful time on the island, you dont even need to prepare in advance! There are two generously sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, all very clean and comfortable with large storage areas for your things, even had hairdryers in both bathrooms. Beachtowels, chairs, and cell phone were included! The kitchen was very well equipped and there is a great little supermarket about 1 minute walking distance up the street perfect for anything you need. Visit the fish fly at merton's right across from the supermarket in the evenings, delicious and fresh seafood in a casual and friendly atmosphere, so much better than chaotic oistens, and the fish pot restaurant just a few minutes walk south down the road, also delicious! We will definitely stay at seaspray cottage again, next time we will bring our family and rent both upper and lower units!! Stay at seapray, so close to west close beaches but in a clam and quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors nearby, we felt like it was our home away from home.

We stayed at Sea Spray in February 2009 and had a fantastic stay. The place is in newly renovated condition and is as described on VRBO. Beautiful ocean view and right on the water. There is a decent beach to walk-on near the property, but just a short drive south there are several world-class beaches. There is a restaurant, bar and store a few hundred meters north and that is extremely convenient. If you stick around there after dark, it becomes a lively place for the locals, it is a lot of fun and very safe. There is also the high end Fish Pot restaurant within walking distance for fine dining. If you stay here you will need a car unless you don’t mind using the local public transportation. We preferred renting a car at the airport and it is about a 45 to 60 minute drive away.Sitting on that balcony while the sun sets into the Caribbean Sea is a real treat. We plan on returning someday.
