The livingroom has convertible sofas which can also be used for sleeping an extra family member,as they make up into single beds.There is WiFi & hi speed DSL 4G internet access and phone making communication simple. The dining area comfortably seats 5. The full bathroom has a separate vanity with granite counter top, dressing area with mirrors and hairdryer, plus ample storage space and security chest for safe keeping of documents,valuables Condo has its own hot watersystem so there is never a shortage of hot water,(plus water is drinkable right out of the tap, as Barbados has some of the best water in the world!) There are portable fans,celing fans, airconditioning, cable 40" Flat screen TV,phones, highspeed DSL 4G WiFi internet access, microwave, coffee maker,blender,all linens dishes and glasses .
There is off street parking available and as the complex is not on the main road - No traffic noise.

The tropical garden providing a luxuriant oasis for relaxation, has wifi plus it has a freshwater pool, freshwater shower and lounge chairs, umbrellas,and is beachside - the sea, just a few steps away. Sunbed mattresses are stored in the condo for extra comfort along with some extra light weight aluminum chairs .The beach is safe for swimming, and there is a manmade reef with a huge variety of marine life very close into the shore - so snorkeling off the beach is easy - water sports available on the beach and it`s an easy few minute stroll to a beach bar -which has a steel band for happy hour on a Sunday, or the shopping centre, from which buses run every few minutes into the city centre or to places of interest. All beaches are public.
There are banks,car hire, taxis, and local inexpensive buses into Bridgetown, and 'tourist attractions' which are used by both visitors and local alike.
Holetown is 28 km from the airport, is home to many fashionable restaurants, and the upscale new Lime Grove mall. Dining and shopping are within easy walking distance, and many watersports are available on the beach at your doorstep. Nextdoor a new
beachbar sometimes plays loud music (beyond the condo's control) and the hotel plays music in the evening until 10.30 pm so one can sit and enjoy that free! There are also a couple of nightclubs and late night bars near by, and a slots bar for those who like to `gamble`a little! , plus a new dine-in cinema! in the Limegrove Lifestyle centre, for evening entertainment.
There are many different types of 'tourist attractions' such as Orchid World, the Flower Forest, Andromeda Gardens, a small rain forest, 'Welchman's Gully', a Wild Life Centre and many historic plantation homes open to the public, Plus the local parish church built in 1629 St. James' bell,, was cast by the same foundry that made the original Liberty Bell!. Harrison's Caves, provide a fascinating tour of illuminated underground caverns, and at the north of the island is the Animal flower Cave. Swimming with the endangered turtles is a very popular activity, as is scuba diving and snorkeling at Folkestone the marine park, a 10 minute walk away. There're also sea trips on the Atlantis submarine,and glass bottom boats. Other activities are horseback riding on the beach, fishing - deep sea,or off the beach.Tennis and golf are nearby.

Dine at one of the best restaurants in the world! -reservations are required. Plus the famous Sandy Lane Hotel, one of the most luxurious, and upmarket hotels worldwide, popular with the rich and famous, is just a 10 minute drive away. Holetown also has numerous bars and restaurants, ranging from fast food to bistros, and gourmet dining, and many restaurants also provide 'take out'. Plus there are street vans and stands around the area, good inexpensive food - (safe to eat)! and water is drinkable out of the tap!
Barbados offers an opportunity to experience a Caribbean lifestyle influenced by its traditional British history.The first settlers arrived in1627, and the island still retains its British Parliamentary system. It has a reliable infrastructure, and offers the comforts and safety of most Western countries.
Since the island is roughly triangular in shape, the 3 coasts offer a totally different ambience. The east coast bordered by the Atlantic ocean, is wild, rugged, beautiful, isolated, and unsuitable for swimming in most areas. The south coast, has heavy surf, and is more industrial, commercial, and has numerous fast food outlets, and local markets. The west coast, known internationally as the Platinum Coast,borders the blue Caribbean Sea, which is normally calm and suitable for all varieties of water sports.
As Barbados lies outside the hurricane belt, usual weather is blue sunny skies and white puffy clouds, normal showers being of short duration. Average daily high 30C. Sea temperature's a constant 80F.
Newly added an "invisible screen" on the balcony, so the sun is never too hot!

The location worked out very well for us. Beach loungers and umbrella on the beach right out front where we swam and snorkelled. This beach had a lot of activity at times. We were able to walk to shops, restaurants, beaches and bus stops. Pat (Manager), Ryan (Grounds) and Ros (Housekeeping) were helpful. Condo had everything we needed to enjoy our three weeks.

Thank you for your feedback Augusto. When I wrote to you in Feb. 2025, I mentioned that this is my winter home (not a smart rental) and that if any little thing was amiss to please contact my rental manager Mrs Pat Bland so that it could be dealt with immediately. I regret that you did not mention these things to Pat, as I did check with her to enquire that everything was satisfactory. Both the coffee pot and the shower head have now been replaced.

We absolutely loved our stay in Dayle’s condo. It had everything we needed and is located in our favourite area on the island. We spent every morning enjoying breakfast and coffee on the balcony watching the waves, beach activities and hummingbirds in the trees of the communal garden. Priceless! We’ve visited Barbados for the last twelve years and stayed in various accommodations but this is our favourite so far and we will definitely look to book again. Dayle is a perfect host and Pat looked after us well while we were there. We want to keep this place our secret!

This property is perfectly situated for direct acess to the beach. The sunsets were amazing from the lovely porch. Thr owner had new cushions for the porch lounge chairs put in which brightened it up. The kitchen is complete with everything you need. Bed was very comfy. Plenty of towels...beach and bath..Housekeeper changed towels 3 x a week and cleaned bathroom.We engaged a driver and did a number of tours as we felt self driving was too difficult.Many restaurants within walking distance down the beach or along the street.The Mango Bay resort is right next door and we benefitted from wonderful musical entertainment at night.

No 1 Palm beach condos

The location is perfect, fabulous views. Pat the property manager is fantastic. For rental purposes the property could benefit with a reduction of kitchen, furniture and personal items of the owners, and bringing up to the standard of the other units in the complex. This would help the house keeping keep on top of cleaningness. A lovely stay though.

Thank you for your feedback Sarah, I am saddened that you were disappointed with your stay in condo #1. Please note that my listing on vrbo specifies that it is not a "smart rental", but my genuine winter home, so I regret that my home did not please your completely. I did check in with Pat who is the property manager, and she informed me that " Your guests have been very happy, no problems and I believe they will come to PBC again." The one house rule I wish you had followed was to notify Pat if there were any issues - such as deficient housekeeping - it is up to Pat, as the manager, to supervise the maid. Once again please accept my regrets at your disappointment... I hope your next Bajan vacation is what you anticipate.

Thank you for your feedback on my winter home. I am sorry that you were disappointed, but as I've mentioned, this is Not a smart rental - this is normally where I live, and the only reason it was available, was my hurried repatriation in March 2019, and my inability to travel since. I will contact my maid and request a more thorough cleaning (she has been with me for many years and I have never had a previous complaint about cleanliness) so thank you for your feedback. I am pleased that you enjoyed the spectacular view - it is without question the best view in the Holetown area.

A perfect relaxing getaway!

If like us you are looking for the perfect spot to relax and unwind then this is definitely the place to go. In fact, it was probably the most relaxing holiday we have had for a very long time. The apartment has everything you could possibly need, we cooked in the apartment for 4 nights and ate on the balcony taking in the amazing vista and awesome sunsets, we swam 3-4 times a day in the ocean (less than 1 minute walk from the apartment) and the lovely pool which is surrounded by tropical gardens with humming birds and mongooses, very amusing to see Pat's cat Whisky play chasing the mongooses! There are numerous bars and restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk and a great supermarket to buy anything you might need. We left feeling totally chilled and relaxed, what more can you ask from a holiday ! Thank you Dayle, George, Pat, Chris, Ros, Julia and not forgetting Whisky! Show less

Palm Beach Condominium #1

My wife and I had a fantastic stay at condo #1. The beach and ocean are literally 20 feet from your balcony! The condo itself was clean and did the job for the 2 of us. The property manager Pat is very nice and can answer any questions you may have. Everything you need is within walking distance like restaurants and the Massey grocery store. We dont even know if the TV works because you can sit on the balcony and listen to the waves and the music coming from Mango Bay Hotel beside you. The music stops around 10:30 PM and it's just the sound of waves after that! This condo is a gem when you consider the people at Mango Bay are paying double for their oceanfront rooms with a lesser view! I'd highly recommend this condo to family and friends.

We stayed in #1 Condo wanting 17 nights of total relaxation and we got it. This Holetown condo has the best location and view, straight out onto the beach front...and you are into the clear warm sea within seconds of leaving the condo. The apartment is comfortable and has everything you need to enjoy a self catering holiday. There is a lovely private garden and pool just to the side of the condos. A slight disappointment was that quite a lot of the local bars and restaurants were closed whilst we were there, refurbishing or staff taking a break in anticipation of the start of high season. It is so easy to get a bus to nearby resorts and the locals are friendly and helpful. There is a supermarket just over the road and a cheaper larger one in the town of Fitts, a short bus ride away. The weather was fantastic and the nearby beach and warm sea made this one of our best holidays ever. Thank you Dayle and George ....

So pleased to hear that the weather was cooperative, and yes, the sea is always incredibly warm at this time of year - (it is one of the benefits of a September trip, but sorry that there were some restaurants closed, however as you say, they also want a holiday!)

You won't want to leave the balcony!

This aprtment is in the perfect spot. It is located in Holetown so you step outside your door for great resteraunts, a nearby grocery store, beautiful shops and a Sunday night Kareoke Street Party. The local bus runs right by your door.The apartment itself is spacious and lovely. The owners stock your fridge so when you arrive you are ready for a cold beer on the fabulous balcony and you'll be able to make breakfast and see the view in daylight. But I must warn you, you won't want to leave the balcony.You are right on the beach and the view is glorious.The property is very clean and well maintained and the pool area lovely.The Property Manager is very helpful, willing to assist in any way, infoming you of the best highlights on the island. Don't miss visiting The Crane Resort, especially for brunch.The Cajun Canucks truly recommend this spot in Barbados. Lots to do and see but a perfect place to relax too. You can't go wrong!

Hi Deanna I am horrified and shocked by your review, as a conscientious host I wrote to you on Aug.4 and said "Pat is my substitute when I am off island, so if any little thing is amiss, **please let Pat know: "* . as I am aware that occasionally something can go wrong, so I checked with Pat during your stay and Pat informed me that everything was fine as you had not contacted her! - I have researched why there were no amenities, why there was only one towel each? - None of this is normal - If you had notified Pat she would have immediately offered you as many towels as you wished for, and rectified all deficiencies and seen they were promptly fixed. Apparently my maid Roz was away on vacation and a new girl Sandra, was filling in. My apologies for her lack of understanding what I require for my guests!(she will not be rehired in future!) I do not advertise a fully aircon unit (only the bedroom) but as the condo is situated in the path of the Tradewinds, there is excellent cross ventilation during the daytime from leaving the doors open and the gates locked so that any thing wet pegged to the back gate dries within one hour (and by adjusting the louvers on the windows and the back door - it is normal for the living room to remain at a pleasant temp. - not too warm, . plus there are tower fans and ceiling fans which regulate the cooling! Pat would have shown you if you had let her know. As the fridge is *brand new*, you were the first guests to use it, so I am surprised you think it is "old" Thank you for your feedback, and I have contacted Pat so that any deficiencies are taken care of and no further guests are disappointed. Again my sincere regrets that my home did not live up to your expectations.

Fantastic Beach Front Property!

Having stayed at The Mango Bay Hotel (next door) we knew exactly where the apartment was. It's a fabulous location right on the beach but close to the bars and restaurants in 1st & 2nd Street. That said we never heard any noise from the bars - only the waves crashing on the beach! The apartment is very well equipped and has a maid service provided every other day. You have the beauty of having cooking facilities and use of a fridge as well as some of the services of a hotel. The pool area was well maintained and there were plenty of sun beds available. We spent a great day at Mullins Beach as well as eating out at the beach side restaurant one night. The food was as always fabulous. We also splashed out for the Sunday brunch at the nearby Sandy Lane. Expensive but worth it for a treat! You just won't need to eat for the next few days! Other restaurants worth a mention are Cariba and The Mews. Great meals and service in both. There are so many great restaurants in and around Holetown you really are spoilt for choice which is why we opted to stay in an apartment rather than an expensive all inclusive hotel. We also had a great trip swimming with the turtles - great fun! A must is a visit to Lexy's piano bar too. All in all Holetown is a great place and this apartment is in one of the beach locations to enjoy it! Hope to return soon!!

How kind of you to write a review Lindsey, it is very much appreciated. It is always a great help to other visitors when they can read a review from someone who has actually spent time in the condo, especially understanding that one can truly be only a few minutes at most from all the bars and restaurants in the "trendy" 1st and 2nd street area of Holetown, but one never hears a sound from them, only the swish of the waves lapping on the beach. We are really pleased to know that you and your friends had a grand time and look forward to returning. We wil look forward to welcoming you back. Thanks again for taking the time to write. Dayle and George

We were a retired couple who spent our winters here for the past 30 years, I live the rest of the year in Canada now. I love Barbados, the friendly people, the great climate, ('hurricanes hardly happen' - last one was more than 50 years ago) - the ease of living here. Everything I need is close by, including grocery shopping, etc. Restaurants are close by when ever I wish to eat out,and some have delivery and take out - a life style without troubles!

Why they chose this property

Purchasing this condo was a 'love at first sight' property - fabulous panoramic view, easy walkable proximity to shops, restaurants, beach, on our doorstep, garden,pool- good security, good island infrastructure, and drinkable water out of the tap!! stable economy and reliable banking, friendly people, -a unique, once in a lifetime opportunity! We'd been staying in hotels on the island since 1975, and came to realize that there was no other place on earth which offered all that Barbados could provide. It seemed beyond crazy to ignore the once in a once in a lifetime opportunity that came along when we found our condo winter home. We realized that if we didn't purchase it there and then, we would regret it for the rest of our lives! So I've lived there happily ever since and only return to Canada when the weather warms up!

What makes this property unique

The Best Panoramic View on the west coast !! Easy access (4 min. walk)to stores, bars, restaurants, banks, , etc.- NOT on the main road so NO constant traffic noise -(there is a hotel next door which plays music between 8.00pm- 10-.30pm )
Instant access to the beach - which is only 10 feet away,
I walk 2 miles on the beach every morning! - garden with pool plus sun and shade with trees,flowers, umbrellas, garden furniture. - Safety. features galore !- Easy access (4 min. walk) bank, to bus into city, or taxis, or car hire. Supermarket will even deliver groceries.
