This place by far the best place we've ever rented, and we've rented a lot of places all over the world!
First off, the location is awesome. A block from an idyllic beach (I think it's called Maxwell, literally 2 minutes), walking distance to Oistens (fish market, food stands, grocery store) walking distance or short ride to St Lawrence Gap (restaurants/night life central), and walking distance to several good local restaurants (Charlie's, Butterfly, Roti Hut). A car is not necessary at all unless you want to explore the rest of the beautiful island further (Recommended! Go get lost!)
Secondly, this is not your typical cheapo rental. All of the finishings and touches are far beyond what a typical rental offers, a fully equipped kitchen is ACTUALLY a fully equipped kitchen with quality dishes, pots and pans, appliances, etc. You aren't 'making do' using a soup ladle to scramble your eggs in a rusty wok. The furnishings have obviously cost the owners good money and are all well maintained, and bathroom fixtures are all high end (Koehler, Groehe, etc). This is actually a premium property, and the owners pride is evident.
Thirdly, the owners were absolutely awesome to deal with. All correspondence was very prompt, Stacie and Collin are super easy going and really nice people who genuinely wanted us to have a good experience. They had the place spotless for our arrival, and we appreciated them checking in with us after our arrival to make sure everything was ok, if anything was lacking (which they said they would rectify immediately if required), or we had any other questions or needed any suggestions, about the island, grocery stores, beaches, etc. Apparently they have done much of the renovations and finishing themselves and as previously said, their pride of ownership is everywhere.
Lastly, the house itself, it's layout and space, is great and suited our needs perfectly (2 couples and a single). We really liked the bbq/grill (a real bbq, not a half broken cheapo like most rentals!) and outdoor space, we spent most of our time there. A nice place to relax and have 'Happy Hour' on the covered patio (again equipped with high end furnishings).
Would totally recommend this place and look forward to staying there again soon (we made sure to book again for next year before we even left!). This is really good bang for your buck in Barbados. Our only complaint is that we had to leave.
