About this cottage rental
This cozy cottage is the perfect spot for couples and solo travelers looking to stay in a residential neighborhood in the beautiful island of Barbados. You'll be tucked away just 1km from the beach and can explore the island using this cottage as your home away from home! We would be happy to help you plan the perfect holiday.
The cottage was designed to be very open and airy with shutters for windows instead of glass panes, and there is an additional ceiling fan and A/C in the bedroom to keep you cool in the Barbados sunshine. The open plan living area features a very comfortable sitting area and TV with a ceiling fan, and the kitchen is stocked with all the appliances and kitchenware you'll need on vacation. The bedroom has a comfortable queen-sized bed, A/C, ceiling fan, closet space and an en-suite bathroom. The bathroom is unique with an indoor/outdoor shower that has two shower heads, and a beautiful shell and stone vanity.
The cottage is located on the "platinum" West Coast of Barbados, but is tucked away in a neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle. There may be some neighbourhood noises heard from time to time (roosters, dogs, etc). The beach is located just 1km away, and further down the coast are restaurants, bars, and shopping centers. Whilst the cottage is in walking distance of the beach / main coast road, the return trip will be uphill.
The property manager is just a phone call away should you need assistance. Please know that we can assist you with anything you need to make this an amazing vacation from the get-go: dining recommendations, snorkel excursions, island tours.. and more are just some of the things we can assist with.
Complimentary housekeeping services are offered 1 day a week.
Please note: There is construction ongoing next door. As such, we have discounted the rates. Unfortunately they have not given us a schedule at this time.

8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2026
positive: nicely decorated clean villa, in a quiet setting. pretty gardens with monkeys running around and roosters heard in the background.
negative: the city and the shopping centre as well as the bigger beaches aren't within a walking distance, you need a car; after heavy rainfall, the floor was soaked; there were some big cockroaches in the kitchen which, in this price bracket, is not acceptable

Nice cottage so well located .
Hanging rod in the bedroom is too
high for a short person to reach.
That's my observation not a concern.
Monkey experimenting in the shower was an unbelievable.
I loved it .
I will be talking about it for the rest of my life.

Very clean place and very well located. Just a few minutes by car from a beach. We were brought new clean towels and household items several times. Communication was quick and clear. I will return to this place!
6 / 10Average·Jan 2025
The location is close to drive to local areas and beaches. We also had monkeys on the property one morning which was lovely to see. We enjoyed the outdoor shower/ bathroom concept but I would advise that this does mean the bathroom often has unexpected guests - frogs, cockroaches, milipedes etc. There were some issues upon check in with the cleanliness of the bedding & towels. Once we spoke with the property manager on this, it was rectified & they were responsive to our issues. I would say that the photos online are quite dated and the property is no longer in the good condition depicted - it requires a refurbishment. There are no windows in the property (aside from in the front door), the rest of the property is only wooden shutters. This does make it hard to keep the AC cool air inside when you want to let light into the property & can be noisey with local wildlife in the night time.
