This property is by far the most tastefully decorated of all the ones I have ever rented in the past. It lacks nothing from the appliances, cookware and electronics. Not only are they top quality, but they all function. (Not always the case elsewhere.) The bedrooms are both equipped with air conditioning and supportive mattresses, (especially important for my back). The beach offers plenty of opportunity to lie back tan, read or nap or you can do the same on a beautiful daybed nook on your own private balcony. For those wanting a more active beach experience there are Hobie Cats, jet skis, paddle boards, and glass bottom boats for rent. Just ask one of the helpful beach vendors for help. You don’t have to swim far out to see turtles. The snorkelling equipment is stored under the daybed. Restaurants from high price to economy rum shops are walking distance or an inexpensive cab ride away. If you are into polo, Holders is just a short walk up the hill, where cool breezes blow and you can enjoy the sport close up. Entrance fee is a modest 20 bds. Being on the west coast also leaves you near incredible attractions like The Harrison Caves, Hunte’s Garden, Welchman Gully, Earthworks and others. This house is also walking distance to Holetown or a quick 5 minute bus or taxi ride. There you have the Chattel Village. A delicious breakfast, can be had there. Also clothing/ jewellery, souvenirs can be bought at various shops or you can just go for groceries at Massey’s, one of the biggest most inclusive stores around. Upscale shopping, ATM’s can be found at Limegrove where lunch at Relish is a most. Wine is available at Massey’s but a better selection is available at Wine World.
All in all, you can experience as much or as little of all aspects of Barbados life as you wish by renting The Dolphin Bay Villa. Franklyn, Shamara and their uncle next door are perfect hosts. They could not be more helpful. With gratitude, Kersti
