About this apartment rental

Attractive upstairs apartment, in beach-side house with communal patio, leading directly onto one of the quietest and most beautiful beaches on the West Coast, with excellent swimming and snorkelling in the crystal waters of the Caribbean. Comprising 2 air-conditioned bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, the other with en-suite shower room and washing machine. There is a well-equipped modern kitchen for the chefs among your party. The lovely light sitting room, with stunning views of the Caribbean and the beach, has a cooling breeze blowing through it for most of the year. In essence perfection.
The village shopping centre and supermarket are within easy reach on foot. There are several excellent restaurants nearby, including the world-renowned Cliff. We are 1.5 km away from Sandy Lane and its world-class golf facilities. Waters sports, fishing, and glass-bottomed boats are virtually on the doorstep - and, if requested, many will pick you up from the beach.. For those who don’t wish to hire a car the bus stop is nearby, and the buses run frequently up until 11.30 pm. The apartment has Wifi internet access and on site security.
Little Reef is well situated for multiple activities. From the very beautiful beach, a few short steps away, there is snorkelling on the reef, where you may spot one of the resident turtles, meandering among shoals of brightly coloured fish. Boating and water sport activities are also on offer from operators on the way to the big resorts past Sandy Lane. Fishermen bring their daily catch into Fitts Village, just in front of Jordan's Supermarket, a five-minute walk along the beach.
For those who don’t want to miss the exploits of their favourite team, Wendy’s sports bar is just a couple of minutes away, across the road. Wendy's also have a snack bar. Alternatively there’s the Surfside bar in Holetown (15 minutes away by bus and car), a great spot for being on the beach and watching the footie at the same time. Holetown is also the place to go to if you want a bank, pizza or the larger Massy’s supermarket, which will deliver your shopping if you don't have a car. Holetown also boasts plenty of watering holes and restaurants. Bridgetown and the South Coast are around twenty minutes by car and the buses run regularly.
If you just want to chill out Little Reef’s balcony is a great place for watching the frigate birds wheeling above, maybe a fisherman making a catch, and world go by – and, if you are up early and very, very, lucky you may get a glimpse of a monkey in the nearby shack-shack tree. If you want take a tan back home Little Reef has a lovely sunny patio, or you can take the extra few steps to the beach. At the end of the day there is often nothing better than a walk along the beach or just watching a beautiful sunset and the boats making for home, while you enjoy a sundowner.

This apartment is all about being on a beautiful beach with the sparkling clear blue sea 2 steps away. The view from the living room is like a picture postcard. Grantley the lovely caretaker who lives next door washes down the outside patio daily and is on hand to answer any questions - he’s a real gentleman. Apartment is a great location to tour the island from. La Cabane is a few minutes drive away and we enjoyed an evening having drinks there. It’s also a beautiful walk up the beach from there towards the port. We have had an amazing family holiday and are already planning our return visit to this apartment.

Little Reef was a great rental right on the beach. We snorkeled right at the front of this rental one - two times daily and saw a wide diversity of fish and creatures.Grantley, the rental caretaker lives right next door and was easy to work with on check in and check out.Little Reef is centrally located to reach tourist attractions and beaches located north and south of the location.We loved Little Reef and likely will return in the future.

Magnificent view on a wonderful little beach, in an ideal location on the island. We’ll be back.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
In general this property was not in very good shape. Many things had been neglected over the years and it was in need of a refresh (deep clean, painting, new fridge, old frying pans, hardware missing on dresser drawers). Also, with the lovely four-wide patio doors in the living room were only operating on one side, unlike the picture (quite disappointing). There was a "do not use" note taped to the left half and the on-site person said they were having trouble getting a repair person in to deal with it.Additionally, the little gas-fired wall-mounted water heater unit above the gas range leaked water onto the cooktop when in use. And we could only get enough hot water for very short showers of 5-7 minutes.The overseas owner is very slow to respond to communications (sometimes weeks). And the local property manager and the nice gentleman next door seem only empowered to do so much.Like many places in Barbados, it is very noisy with the loud buses, trucks, motorcycles and super-up cars going by.The beach is OK but you may want to bring water shoes as there are a lot of broken coral and stores under foot. Plus, there is a soft sand drop drop-off of about 18" as you wade in, right at the point where the waves are breaking and the water is churned up so you can't see it. Many people stumbled and fell at this point, especially when exiting the water.The lower rental flat in this building offered much better value with properly updated interior and furnishings.
