Exceptional Experience and Great Hosts

What a gorgeous place, Mark and Susyn were amazing hosts. They truly know how to make the trip easy with their extensive itinerary and recommendations. The villa was spotless, very comfortable, and so close to everything. Hastings is the perfect area to be because you are right in the middle of Bridgetown and St. Lawrence Gap. Also being close to the airport and Oistins was amazing. We loved the walk to Dover and Carlisle Beaches and all the fun bars/restaurants on the Boardwalk. The amazing view from the Villa also made us able to spot the sea turtles right from our balcony so we were able to run down and swim with them. Mark and Susyn were also very helpful while we were there and responded to our emails quickly to help us with certain questions. I can't wait to go back, thanks again for the best honeymoon!

Great location

Our villa has it all. Location, upscale amenities, beautiful views and privacy. Sunrises, sunsets, swimming turtles, people watching can all be done from the privacy of our villa. Need some exercise? Walk/jog on the new government Boardwalk past beautiful beaches, fine restaurants, and quaint shops. Need more nightlife? Take a jitney or cab right outside the door to the many nightclubs and taverns along the main road. Want quiet time? Sit by the villa pool with a good book and enjoy the sounds of the Ocean as the gentle breezes lull you to relax and renew.

Family Vacation

This was our first time doing a vacation rental through VRBO and Home away. Being from Barbados born and raised, we knew the area we wanted to be in where we could enjoy the beach, family and friends. And this was ideal.
Mark made the booking experience very easy , and was professional, he answered all our questions in a timely manner and provided an over abundance of information in regards to his unit and island. We even switched our usual car rental company to one that Mark suggested.
The apartment view was awesome and hearing the sounds of the Ocean was very relaxing The apartment was very clean and spacious, it has a beach, casual homey feel. Not glitzy and glamorous but the way a beach setting should be.
Upon arrival we noted a few issues that had to be corrected, contacted the property manager, Laila and she responded promptly and the issues were rectified in a timely manner and it did not interfere with our vacation schedule.
The living room AC did not work, but this was not missed, as we took advantage of the ocean breeze which kept the unit comfortable. and a Rum Punch helps to keep things cool.
One thing to mention, we rented a car to visit family and friends, its great having an indoor secure parking spot, just be prepared to utilize all your parking skills, as the garage is challenging to negotiate.
We would enjoy breakfast and sometimes lunch on the veranda and head out for dinner.
Would definitely recommend this unit being Beach front and updated good value for the money .

Nice Condo

Had a fabulous time at the condo. Well equipped and nice space. Location is good. Close proximity to lots of stuff and right on the ocean. The boardwalk being right in front gives you the opportunity to not have to walk on the road which could be dangerous based on the speed some of the vehicles are going when they pass thru this area. Would definitely recommend this space for anyone interested in visiting Barbados. Missed the sea turtles, none to be found anywhere.

BEAUTIFUL CONDO AND LOCATION- GORGEOUS VIEWS

We stayed at this condo for 2 weeks in February. The weather was fantastic and the views from this condo are so amazing! You can watch the turtles from the balcony of the condo while having your morning coffee - yes the water is THAT clear! The condo is big and clean and it had everything we needed and we had an issue with the A/C upon arrival but Mark was on this for us and took care of it! The only downfall we had was no beach chairs or umbrella and going over to hotel down the beach to use theirs, the security guard said no you aren't a guest here you can't use our chairs. They are for guests only and I guess they were full occupancy and their guests have been complaining of having nowhere to sit by the beach. So we spent our time mostly at the pool/sundeck at the condo. Then when we wanted to cool off- we went out to the ocean and floated in the beautiful clear waters. The people on the island are very helpful and friendly. We walked to most things but also took the little white ZR vans to get around. They are all over and cheap and some are very entertaining to be on with the music. We also walked over to the horse track, which is a fun experience as well. So thank you Mark and Susyn for sharing your beautiful condo in paradise with us. I sure hope that some day we can come back again. WE would stay here again in a heartbeat if returning to Barbados.

A fabulous spot!

This was our 5th year staying in the "Boardwalk" area of the South Coast and our first at Mark and Susyn's place. It was by far the nicest location we have had! In fact, it is hard to imagine a better location in the area. The unit sits on the 6th floor on the East side of the complex which gives it the best views and the most privacy of any of the units in the building (except for the penthouse above). The owners were very pleasant to deal with and their attention to detail was outstanding. The place was clean and very nicely furnished. Air conditioning was unnecessary with the lovely ocean breezes whistling through the place all day and night. The pool area was quiet and immacualtly maintained. We spent mornings counting the turtles in the sea and the evenings toasting the sunsets all from the very private balcony. A wonderful and memorable month!!
