We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely, very spacious, 2 bed 2 bath ground level oceanfront residence. It featured a bright well designed open layout, with great views of the water from inside the residence, out on the covered patio and around the private pool. We found the home very clean and well stocked upon our arrival on Jan 30, 2011. However, a large flat screen TV and good sound system for the dwelling would have made it even better. Also, many travelers like to explore the island and have picnics by the water; a few comfortable floding chairs or sun cots, a cooler, and a couple of boogie boards would have been handy for guests to enjoy. The residence is situated in an excellent location, with a beautiful beach in front of the property, the "boardwalk" is only about 100 meters away and it's a great place for an early morning run along the ocean. The Hilton Hotel is about 25 minutes away if you walk along the sandy beach and we enjoyed doing that around sunset. the "Fish Fry" in Oistens is a great spot for dinner (Mo's) (10 minutes by car) and we did our grocery shopping at a nice store nearby. There are numerous restuarants within walking distance of Lower Beachgate; however, we highly reccommend the buffet lunches at "Brown Sugar" (nearby) and a trip to the Atlantis Hotel on the east coast for the weekend or Wednesday buffet and great sightseeing. Spend time relaxing on "Miami Beach" (nearby) one afternoon resting in the shade or working on your tan, while there try playing "beach tennis" with locals, enjoy the water and great scenery. We had fun touring the brewery, seeing the cave, chatting with the friendly locals (often getting directions) while driving around exploring the beautiful island of Barbados. Our host, Philip, was very helpful, a pleasure to deal with, and we look forward to seeing him again soon. Good value. James
