Six of us(3 couples) visited Upper Beachgate in June of this year and loved it. Tina and Philip are excellent, very attentive caretakers. The house is kept very clean and functional and the porch has a beautiful view.
The water directly in front of the house is a little rocky, but there is a sandy lagoon in front of Swanage(next door).
The porch has a big gas grill, so hop on the #11(the house is right on the route), head down to the Oistins Fish Market, and buy right off the boat Mahi Mahi for $3 US per pound. Marinate in a little Delish Bajan seasoning, and wash the whole thing down with a Banks. We also ate at the stalls at Oistins many times during our stay(our favorite is Uncle George's). Every stall has pretty good fish and 3 for $10($5 US) Banks beer.
Also be sure to visit Coconut Court(a few doors down to the right) for happy hour. The drinks are cheap and Antonio is the best bartender on the island.
There is a surf shop across the street that not only rents boards, but will also give you a ride over to a good break.
There is a supermarket down the street(short van ride, but they have a courtesy shuttle that will bring you back) and also an iMart convenience store within walking distance that has a surprisingly good amount of food items.
As stated before, the house is right on the #11 route(small white van with a purple-ish stripe down the side). Taxi's are very expensive on the island, so if you're not super high maintenance, jump on the #11. It goes back and forth along the South coast to and from Bridgetown, and is only $2 BDS to ride. Get cozy with some locals and enjoy the ride.
We look forward to visiting again. Tina and Philip, thank you for everything!
