About this property

Beachfront Studio -Sea and Sand at the West-Coast of Barbados

'Sunshine Paradise' is a two-story Residence with a beautiful upper Studio and a big breezy Patio where you can cook and enjoy your meals overlooking the caribbean Sea, the harbour and the golden-white Sand on Brighton Beach, one of the finest beaches on the West-Coast. You can also sit outside at the bar sipping a drink while admiring the stunning sunsets or lying in the hammock and listen to the sound of the waves.
The studio is one big livingroom-bedroom with a big double closet and a second room with a door and a double drapery.
The Master bedroom in the studio has a king-size four-poster bed and air-conditioning and a ceiling fan.

The smaller room has a single bed and a bed-sofa
The kitchen is outside on the patio always breezy and nice.

If you go some steps higher up from the Patio to the platform on the roof you can have a private sunbath or sit and watch out for sailing boats and the cruise-liners to pass by. From the patio you can also step down the circle staircase to the pool and of course to the beach!

It takes only five to ten minutes to reach the town for shopping, entertainment and dining in the west-coast restaurants.

The studio offers full amenities including maid service weekly and is specially suited for honeymooners and families with and without children.

This wonderful Barbados beach studio was a perfect beachfront choice for my husband & I for our 10 day trip. The view from the spacious balcony is absolutely beautiful & quiet & I loved cooking in the kitchen on the patio. Brighton Beach is gorgeous & walkable to different fun restaurants or Stade Distillery. The owners Gertrud & George are so lovely & helpful we will be back again next year & beyond because we loved every minute of it

Gertrud, Harold and George were very helpful the entire duration of our stay. The studio and surrounding grounds were beautiful and relaxing. Our hosts gave us valuable input for activities, restaurants and driving directions. The ocean front was mesmerizing to both see and hear. My favorite aspect of the vacation was interacting with Gertrud. She is positive, intelligent and interesting with a wonderful outlook on life. All parts of this vacation were healing.

A Special Place in the Sun

I have been thinking about the words I would use to describe my stay at Sunshine Paradise. It truly is a special place and the owners are tremendous. The accommodations are wonderful and you can really feel self-sufficient. The view from the balcony to the beach was gorgeous. I loved the short direct walk to the beach. I plan on visiting again, it is my new Bajan home. Cheers.

A beautiful home on a nearly deserted beach. Easy reach to Carsile Bay, Bridgetown, Batts Rock, restaurants, supermarket and buses. The accommodation is extremely spacious and comfortable and the views are unprecedented. Gertrud our host is there to offer help and advice without any hint of intrusion. We hope to return.

Amazing Place

My wife and I stayed here over Christmas and could not be happier with our experience. The property is beautiful and located right on the beach, what a great feeling stepping onto the beach in the morning for a walk or swim! The studio was clean and everything we needed was there. Gertrud is also a super host, really helpful with everything and lots of information for us. Really can't praise Gertrud or the property enough!

Wonderful, private location, beautiful views

My fiancé and l had a wonderful 11 day stay at this beautiful home/Villa. The views were amazing with the floral landscape and ocean views. We enjoyed the outdoor covered kitchen and tremendous sized balcony area. The interior was decorated with a mix of European and tropical furnishings. Very simple but very quaint and comfortable. Our host Georg and Gertrud were wonderful and so helpful. We actually got married directly on the beach at the property while there. The hosts were so accommodating in helping us on our special day. We will definitely be back to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you Georg and Gertrud!!

Wow

Wow! What an amazing place Sunshine Paradise is. Beautiful apartment with a stunning view. Gertrud is a great host, thoughtful and helpful. The beach is stunning and so relaxing. The location is quiet so it depends on what you like to do . Rascals beach bar is a few minutes walk away as is Stade Rum Distillery. For trips further afield you need car, taxi or bus, all very easy to use. We would love to return and really appreciate Gertrud sharing her home!

Brighton Beach

Gertrud is the most welcoming of hosts, and Brighton Beach is one of the most spectacular beaches in Barbados! The bachelor is very spacious, with. huge outdoor terrace, with the most amazing view of the beautiful garden and directly on to the beach. The outdoor kitchen is a bit like "glamping", but had the basics. We rented a car for our stay, which allowed us to do all of our shopping and go to our favourite restaurants and attractions around the island. I miss it already!

We just returned from 10 wonderful days at this studio apartment on Brighton Beach. We have been to Barbados several times before, but never to this location, and we were delighted with our accommodations as well as the beach! Our favourite spot was the large covered veranda from which we could watch the cruise ships coming in first thing in the morning, the sail boats or fishing boats later in the day, all while eating our breakfast. It was quiet, restful and private, but Gertrud was always available and helpful when needed - a great hostess. We are already looking forward to our next vacation there! Ausgezeichnet, Gertrud!

Barbados Far from the Cold

We had a fantastic view, and immediate access to the beach. The layout was great, having the kitchen in the outside balcony was a nice touch. Allowed us to enjoy the views and sound while cooking, eating, or doing some work on the dining room table. The host was very attentitave and made our stay delightful. You do need a car at this location as it a bit removed from the action and restaurants. A pool was advertised but its really small and not for adult swimming. A minor note is that the towells could use some refershing.

Old school paradise

The location is absolutely outstanding! Located steps from the beach, we spent hours in the ocean everyday. The location is close to stores, restaurants, and a rum distillery is about 100 yards north. The on site host George was available and assisted us with anything we asked for while giving us privacy. Communication with the owner, Gertrude was easy and timely. The apartment is spacious, with an air conditioned bedroom, a large bathroom and an outdoor kitchen. There is a lovely veranda that overlooks the beach/ocean where we spent many evenings. On top of the close proximity to the beach, there is a refreshing swimming pool. The property also has floats, kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear for use. Sunshine Paradise is a great private retreat for a real island experience.

A little bit of Paridise

This clean, spacious, and comfortable apartment was just perfect. The quiet and relaxing setting was just what we were looking for. Steps from the white sandy beach with its clear aqua waters was a delightful way to spend the day! Beach chairs, loungers, table, and umbrella is available for your use under the palm or almound tree. There is even a kayak and snorkeling equipment for your entertainment. Most importantly, the hosts, Gertrude and Harold, were the nicest people, Always available to answer any questions. La Cabana, a restaurant at one end of the beach, served very good food in a perfect setting. We also recommend " Donna's Kitchen", a local take out place. Her shrimp tacos were the best ever! We rented a car which allowed us to travel to all parts of the island! Thanks, Gertrude, for the great week!

Heaven on Earth!

As they say “Heaven is a little closer in a home on the beach!” and it truly was. My wife and I stayed here for 9 nights which went by way too quickly. The owner, Gertrud and her son George, were fantastic hosts, making us feel at home but giving us enough space to do our own thing. The property is fabulous with all amenities we could ask for. The best part was being only about 50 steps from dipping our toes in the water. The beach here is not busy at all so you don’t feel crowded in like other beaches. Great snorkeling in front of the house in crystal clear blue/green water. Location is far enough from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas, yet close enough to walk or take a short drive to groceries, shopping, restaurants and activities. We rented a car for the first three days which allowed us to explore the island, see sights we wanted to see and shopping. The last half of our stay, we just kicked back and enjoyed the tranquility of the house and the beach. A perfect getaway! You must stay here on your next trip to paradise!!

Tired and dated

We booked to stay for 2 weeks in early December, but had to leave 4 days early, because of the poor standard of cleanliness and comfort. We had to move on to another property as we were so disappointed and unhappy with the state of the apartment. Filthy pillows, mattress and stained sheets. Ripped and dirty outside seat coverings. Old and rusty kitchen equipment. Broken shower fitting. Frayed towels. Cracked and chipped crockery. A piece of string for a washing line. When I pointed out the 4 filthy pillows to the owner, she only replaced 2 of them and put the other 2 badly stained ones underneath the new ones. The pictures on the website must have been taken many years ago, as they do not portray the reality of the accommodation. On the plus side, it is ideally situated just in front of a lovely sandy beach, with a safe clear sea.

Beautiful and Peaceful location for my husband and I on our 30 anniversary!! We loved the outdoor kitchen and it was fully stocked for our needs. The beach was spectacular and George was amazing with us for communication and islands tips. This location is away from the tourist area which we loved, super quiet and the people of Barbados are so friendly and loving. We shopped locally for produce, veggies and at the fish markets and found some hidden gems. Food was amazing and fresh! The one thing we loved is you can drink the water from the tap! Thank god because it is hot! George took the time and had a special fire on the beach for our last night which he made out of Palm tree! Over the most amazing sunsets!! Ooo do t forget to take a catamaran and swim with the turtles!! I would definitely recommend this stay and enjoy nature at its best!

Perfection!

One of our best vacations ever. Gertrud and Harold, the hosts, are fantastic and very responsive to any issues. We loved it (and them) so much that we have booked another extended stay for 4 weeks. Excellent site and accommodation! Quiet, spotless mile long beach and green flash sunsets. The large kitchen/dining table balcony area with a gorgeous ocean view also has lounging chairs, a hammock, and a hightop island seating four. We spent most of our non-beach time there. Very comfortable beds, ample closet space, large bath with shower and tub. Bonus items not mentioned in previous reviews, beautiful gardens, laundry machines on site, rooftop sunbathing with a terrific view, outside shower. There are two restaurants on the beach within walking distance, the excellent La Cabane is often rated in top 3 for Barbados, and Rascals for low key, local flavor with a water park for kids. Grocery store is a 10 minute walk away, taxi back is $7. Gertrud will drive you there for your first marketing trip. You absolutely can not go wrong booking Sunshine Paradise for your Barbados vacation.
