Great Little Cottage close to Dover Beach

We loved this cottage. It was a short walk to Dover beach with plenty of restaurants, stores, surf lessons and everything we needed. The pool was great and we had the whole place to ourselves. Ty was great to communicate with and we had no issues throughout the stay

Great stay at Dover, Barbados

My wife and I had an excellent time at Umi Cottage, albeit just for a week and would gladly return in the future. Walking distance to the beach is a huge bonus. Ty was very obliging and took care of small requests we had. Highly recommended for a ‘couple’ stay !

Umi Cottage 💕

My husband and I stayed in Umi cottage and we throughly enjoyed our 2 week stay at the beginning of January 23. We have holidayed in Barbados on 3 occasions now and this has to be our favourite place. The cottage is small but we found it relaxing and provided everything that we needed. The location is perfect, close enough to St Lawrence Gap for bars and dining, we particularly liked Mimosa Restaurant overlooking the sea whilst eating a delicious Italian meal. Then a 15-20 minute stroll back to our delightful little holiday home after a lovely evening out. Umi Cottage is in walking distance to the beach 6-7 minutes although we preferred walking on a bit further to Maxwell where there was a reasonably priced beach cafe called Carib Bar. Miami Beach in Oistins was also lovely with lots of shade and a nice van/bar to get a rum punch. The outside area was secluded and having the use of the pool, although small was an added bonus. I learnt to snorkel for the first time before venturing out in the sea. Anne was very friendly, helpful and was easily contactable via WhatsApp if we needed any assistance.

Paradise!

My stay at Umi cottage was delightful. Umi is a small cottage but, very space efficient. I had everything I needed and the private swimming pool was like icing on the cake. The location was ideal, within walking distance to beaches, fine dining and public transport. I couldn't have asked for a better location. Ty was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating to my needs/requests. Ann, the caretaker/housekeeper was always easy to reach and very accommodating as well. I would recommend staying at Umi cottage to any couple or solo traveler. I feel very fortunate that I was able to secure Umi cottage during my travel dates and will definitely check on the availability when I return to Barbados.

About the host

I'm a citizen of the USA and Barbados. An interesting mix of a Barbadian father and Japanese mother. My wife is also Japanese. We have a son and live between Santa Cruz, California and Barbados.

Why they chose this property

The location of this property is fantastic. So convenient to the beaches, airport, nightclubs and Bridgetown. Both Sandals Barbados and Turtle Beach resorts are right down the street but not so close to be noisy. Because it's a tourist zone, the area is well lit and monitored by police.

There's so much to do within walking distance! Bus stop is 1 minute away and taxi access is easy. Oistins is 10 minutes by car or bus. You may not even need to rent a car but we can help you to arrange one if you'd like. Guests have a dedicated parking spot in front of the house.

Access to the property is via lockbox. Lock combinations will be provided in advance.

What makes this property unique

The entire property is walled so you have excellent privacy. There is a swimming pool and large patio area to lounge. The flower garden is always in full bloom. The property is full of bougainvillea, cactus, desert rose and other colorful flora. Lots of hummingbirds and singing frogs. My neighbors have large mango trees so oftentimes, you can even watch the monkeys but please don't feed them!
