Wonderful location

Couldn’t be closer to the beach! Hosts very helpful and accommodating! Only downside was finding the apartment initially as the sign was missing. The real seller was the included beach beds they set up for us every day.Came home and immediately booked to return next year..

Perfect location Beautiful beach

Quaint property, located in Paynes Bay. There’s a small beach bar and grill located on the property which is perfect to have lunch. Walking distance to a few restaurants and easy to access cabs or public transportation. Owners are quick to respond to requests. Hidden gem!

Madaline is an excellent host

We stayed for only one day but Madaline made it very special for us. She went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The location of the house is right at the beautiful beach. It is a true homely experience away from home. Would highly recommend this place.

Perfect apartment in prime location

This apartment is run by a lovely local family. They’re very helpful and friendly. The location is superb, right on Paynes Bay, a few metres away from the sea :) the kitchen has all you need, the bedrooms have air-conditioning. I’d say pretty perfect! We will definitely come back.

Perfect apartment for exploring Paynes Beach

You couldn't ask for more welcoming hosts or a more convenient apartment to enjoy Paynes Beach. The apartment was perfect for our family of four and we thoroughly enjoyed our few nights here. Our only regret was not spending more time here. Especially for our daughter, the cats and kittens were a highlight of our travels - especially "Mongoose". Thanks!

Wonderful vacation

We enjoyed our vacation in Barbados. The location is excellent(on the beach), and the hosts, Madaline and William, are great people—ready to help at any given moment. Every morning, we had 2 chairs on the beach awaiting us. There is a small playground for kids—we use it all the time for our granddaughter, 2 years old. The grocery store is near there, and there are lots of restaurants around. Gazebo offers food and drinks if you prefer to avoid cooking. We had a great time there.

Location, location, location

The two bedrooms gave ample space for our family of four and as described by others Madeleine, William and Alison were very helpful & friendly. The air conditioner in the bedrooms worked well. Addressing other reviews, the place could maybe do with a lick of paint and one of the bathrooms had a strong sulphur smell but the location right in the middle of Paynes Bay is excellent. The beach chairs set up on the beach for us every day, just yards from the back door made everything so easy.

Perfect apartment behind the bar at the beach

We had a great time at paynes bay. Madaline and William are very kind and helpfull. We could use the sunbeds of the beachbar while waiting for our check-in time. In the first day William took us to the supermarket as we had no Rental car. The approximity of the beach and the bar with a simple but good meal or drinks is just the thing you want for a holiday in Barbados. The kitchen is wel equiped and the beds are better than at home. I can highly recommend this apartement to anyone.

Enjoyed Our Stay

Madalane and Copper were great hosts. Copper drove us to the grocery store when we arrived. They provide beach chairs and umbrellas for their guests.When the fridge broke they replaced it the same day. They run a small beach bar and restaurant by the apartment which was very good and reasonably priced. The beach is excellent for swimming. We used the bus to get around, they come very frequently. We had a great time.

Location Location Location!

Basic but very clean, spacious apartment within metres of the most beautiful beach! Sun beds and umbrellas out ready for us every day. Lovely little beach bar for meals and drinks. The owners, William and Madalyn were a delight, and answered any questions we had. Our only problem was locating the property as we arrived at night. This property is just off the main road, not up Holders Hill. If you want a no frills beach holiday, this place is simply perfect.

Great location for a family vacation

My family recently spent a night at Madeline’s and William’s place on Payne’s Bay. The location was great, right on one of the best beaches in Barbados. It’s also close to many restaurants and bars and close to Holetown.Madaline as excellent at keeping in touch leading up to our stay and William was equally as good to welcome us and ensure that we settled in well.Having sun loungers ready for us on the beach was lovely touch, so to was the flexibility for checkin and check out. The apartment is basic, however, it has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The view from the balcony out to sea was also lovely. There is a bar and restaurant between the apartment and the beach. Great for drinks and light meals and snacks. Worth noting that the noise level was not too bad, with music played during the day time.Thanks again Madaline and William. Great meeting you!

Excellent location on Paynes Bay Beach

It is very nice to be able to walk out the door and be only a few steps to the beach or watch the sunset from the balcony. The apartment is basic in its furnishings, but comfortable. William was helpful in looking after a couple of things and we enjoyed talking with him. The beach restaurant was convenient to have on site, providing various items for our use. Overall, it is not as fancy as other accommodations might be, but is reasonably priced.

A great place!

William and Madeline went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We checked in at supper time and William even drove us to a nearby restaurant and returned to pick us up afterwards. In the morning, the bar and grill on the beach behind the property provided a great place for some delicious food and drinks. We’d love to return and stay longer !
