Shelsea, Idyllic garden villa, 3 beds, lge private garden, 2 mins walk to beach.

The host and her husband were lovely people they had a few things stocked in the fridge upon our arrival and drove us to get some supper as we arrived late, she explained everything in great detail and a book to help you out with everything possible, the beach was a very short walk of about 45 seconds and a great little convenience store across the street as well as a few restaurants, this place is stunning and not on a busy street which was wonderful! The housekeeper and the groundsmen were very nice people and always conversed with you and answered any questions we had. Definitely recommend!!

Such a beautiful home. Well maintained. A surprise that a Gardiner and a house keeper came every week, which made our stay even better. Close to the beach, and nightlife. Had all amenities you could ask for.. Would detstay there again!

Shelsea is a hidden gem on the south coast of Barbados. We loved the stand-alone villa with its private garden and spacious rooms. The property is meticulously clean and very well appointed and laid out. The beds are very comfortable, complete with A/C, ceiling fans and mosquito nets - good enough for the most picky person! There is so much room to lounge around - the spacious patio, the breezy and bright "cage", and the large dining/living space. The kitchen is well-equipped, too. We really appreciated having access to a washing machine - makes a huge difference on an island where you might need to shower multiple times a day. The garden is very well manicured and the gardener comes in twice a week to keep everything tidy and healthy. The beach is one minute walk away and all sandy bottomed. If you like a bit of wave, then it is a a perfect beach for you! The location is fantastic. Our favorite restaurants are within 10 minutes drive and it is close to the Barbados Golf Club and the Oistin Fish Market. We were able to completely relax and unwind, in this little gem of a sanctuary. Thank you, Shelsea!

The pictures and description do not do the property justice. The house is larger than it seems in the pictures, same with the beautiful garden. The walk to the beach is really only about 2 minutes, and that's with two toddlers in tow. Oistins and its grocery market, fish fry and great fish market are 5 minutes by car and about 10-15 by walking. The beach is as beautiful as can be imagined. The host is well represented by friends who help the check-in/check-out process, the gardener and house cleaning lady. The house is well equipped with everything necessary, especially the kitchen. Much needed and appreciated essentials were present in the fridge upon our arrival. Outstanding!
