About this property

Great location for the adventurous traveler!

Comfortable, spacious property tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, easy access to transportation but walking distance to all the comforts needed for travelers. Guests can walk to historic Oistins for the popular Friday night lime which boasts local entertainment and sumptuous local food. Their specialty is sea food. Nearby is St. Lawrence gap, a hub of entertainment with nightclubs and several bars and restaurants. I recommend The Old Jamm Inn or Hal's Car Park Bar, two of my personal favourites. Southern Plaza Shopping Centre is located in Oistins as well and includes a supermarket with a good variety of products. Surfer's Café, another popular spot with a marvelous view of the sea is located opposite the plaza. there is entertainment on the apartment as well. It comes with a smart TV equipped signed on to Netfilx, Direct TV provides cable channels and also has an android box for even more viewing options. of course you can surf the internet at your pleasure using the wifi. Breakfast items are provided in the kitchen which is fully stocked with utensils and toiletries are provided in the bathroom. You can relax in the queen sized bed and enjoy cooling off with the ac.

Best Vacay

I didn’t overbook this one with activities. Relaxed and toured the island at my leisure. Must see St. John's Church, St. Mark's Church and Hackleton Cliffs for the views!!

Better then could have expected

As advertised in the pictures, it's nice and secluded. neighborhood feels safe, house feels safe. Everything i needed to cook a majority of meals, walking distance to beach, about 10mins depending on which one you go to. Off street parking for the rental car. I felt lucky that I chose this place!

Just Awesome

Where to start, this place is just amazing and super clean. Its location is perfect for getting around just in case you don't have transportation as it's within mins walk to bus stop. The host Joy is great as she goes up and beyond to make guest comfortable . Even though I was somewhat a late booking she had the place ready for my arrival, and the house warming snacks are a big big plus with this property, this is truly a place that you definitely will get money worth and would recommend at anyone.

This property was described as “A hidden Gem” and it truly is. It is centrally located, and if you don’t have a car public transportation is just a short five minute walk away to take you to the grocery store, the beaches, restaurants and bars. The property has everything as described, and no false claims were made. The available washer and dryer were very convenient and the kitchen was stocked with almost everything you need to prepare meals. It was so refreshing to sit outside on the patio and eat breakfast early in the morning. This is not a complaint, but be aware there are about 14 steps to get to the upstairs areas. If you have mobility issues this may be a problem. However, I highly recommend this property.

Appartamento moderno a Maxwell in Barbados

La mía esperienza è stata molto positiva. Isola meravigliosa, popolazione generalmente affabile e appartamento molto carino, organizzato e pulito. Dentro l’appartamento si trova tutto il necessario per il soggiorno e la spiaggia più vicina dista a 10 minuti a piedi. La comunicazione con la proprietaria è stata molto buona, persona acculturata e servizievole, molto disponibile. La mia visita è stata molto piacevole e ci ritornerò.

A nice spot for a home base

We really enjoyed our stay at Joys apartment for our short time in Barbados. It was fully equipped with everything we would need and everything was very clean. Would recommend.

Great vacation at this little Gem!

Spent two weeks at this little gem of an apartment. Was very clean and comfortable. Joy and her husband were very welcoming and kind! They lent me a cell phone just in case I needed to call them. Everything was there in the kitchen to prepare your meals. Washer/Dryer as well. Was extremely satisfied with my stay! Glad that I found this little gem! Walking distance to Welche's beach, Maxwell, and Dover beach. Took the ZR to go to Massey's grocery store in Oistins, less than 10 minutes away. Thank you Joy!

What a beautiful apartment!!!!

Joy is not only professional, but extremely accommodating! Her unit is the cleanest, and so chic. And super close to public transportation. We reached the Oistins in minutes. She provided snacks and toiletries and is always there to help in any and every situation. But there were no situations cause the place was amazing. I have to say this is my favorite unit that I stayed for vacation! The linens are clean , bed is great! It’s an amazing spot! Thanks joy

A " little gem "of a place.

What a little gem. This spacious immaculate apartment was just perfect for us. Downstairs has a fully equipped kitchen, including a washing machine and dryer and a small dining area. Upstairs has a separate lounge with a ceiling fan, bedroom with a/c and a fantastic shower room. The owner Joy, even provided fridge items, breakfast cereals, a snack bucket, toiletries in the bathroom and washing powder. Maxwell is a lovely quiet area, with friendly neighbours, who would often stop and speak with us. The apartment is just a few minutes from the main road, where you can catch a local bus that can take you all over the island for just 2 bajan dollars, and not far to walk to the local supermarket and wonderful beaches in the area. Joy and Mark live next door but you hardly see/hear them but it was nice to know that they can be called on if needed and even loaned us a mobile phone to make it easier to keep in touch if we had any problems. We absolutely loved our stay, it was like home from home and we are missing it already. We can't wait to come back.

Thank you for the wonderful review. I am very happy that you enjoyed your stay. You were also great guests. You were both quiet but still very warm and friendly and you respected the property. You left the apartment in really clean condition which I appreciate. It was nice having you and I hope to host you again.

Couldn't have been better

From start to finish, Joy was AMAZING. Although she didn't have to be, she was very accommodating. I asked for a special request and she granted it. The apartment was clean and the decor was nice. I really felt at home, and that's exactly what I wanted. The neighborhood was nice. I had no reason to feel unsafe. I can't wait to plan my return to Barbados. If this place is available , I will definitely will be staying. Thank you ag1for welcoming my daughter and I. Can't wait to return.

A beautiful, well kept home in a nice area.

We were very pleased with our host Joy Ann, and the clean, new and private apartment we rented during our stay. For a very reasonable price we enjoyed the following: A full kitchen including Stove/Oven, Microwave Oven, Washer & Dryer in the suite, Security bars on the windows, Comfortable Livingroom, Main Floor Dining Area, A/C, Wi-Fi, Balcony, Combination Safe for valuables, Sat TV, Parking, Porch and our host even offered us the use of a local cell phone. That was a really nice touch. The home is a short walk to Maxwell Main Road where you may catch a bus to Bridgetown or Oistins. I would stay here again in a heartbeat; as a matter of a fact, I just missed it on my last trip because it was booked. So don't hesitate, it goes fast.

About the host

Hosted by Joy Sue

Host profile image
I love the outdoors so I can often be found doing something new in my garden which how I relax. I also love design and put a great deal of thought and personal touch into the elements of the property. I love to stay active so I enjoy the beach, long walks and I am very involved in the sport of fencing which is still relatively unknown in Barbados. However, I am a psychiatrist by profession which makes life interesting.

Why they chose this property

I chose this property because family members own a property nearby. The location was exactly what I wanted, quiet and off the main road, walking distance to the beach and close to the nightlife of St. Lawrence Gap. When I wanted to vacation without travelling I would always book a hotel in this area now I feel like I am permanently vacationing.

What makes this property unique

Every aspect of the design of this property was thought out including the nice design elements such the tile backsplash the kitchen, the mesmerizing tile choice in the bathroom nd the extra splurge on light fixtures, areas most persons probably wouldn't haven't bothered with in a rental unit but which are mentioned frequently by guests. The garden was designed to maximize privacy.
