In our opinion, the most impressive aspect of our apartment is the private outside living space. With sumptuous furniture providing ultimate comfort and total relaxation. The large, recently renovated private roof terrace, has two sun beds, sofa, table and chairs. It really is the ideal place to be for relaxing, reading or as daylight fades, for watching the amazing sunsets over the distant sea views, with a sun downer, or even star gazing, pure bliss!

Exceeded expectations.

This property gave us exactly what we were looking for and more! The place was immaculate, and all dealings with both the owner Gail, and property manager Alicia, were above and beyond. Gail is a delight! Ownership pride was OBVIOUS the minute we stepped past the threshold. The resort itself boasted two pools, yet beach access was only minutes away via car, with shared amenities from The Fairmont. Gail provided excellent guidance on the resort and the area, and would be in best interest to take her recommendations, especially regarding a car rental. It's a wonderful combination of resort and "home". This was our first vrbo and the standard has now been set very high. Thank you Gail and Chris! Until next time! Because there most definitely will be a next time! Cheers!

Wonderful experience

A lovely well equipped property set in beautiful gardens with access to the facilities of Sugar Hill. Well located to visit Barbados . A car is recommended but we managed well with taxis and walking (even uphill on the way back) to the beach club at stunning Alleynes Bay - membership really enhances the holiday. Local buses to Holetown are fun to ride too.The hosts were very informative and responsive. Rarely return to the same place but we have already booked to come back. Highly recommended.

Peaceful Paradise

How often can you say that you travel somewhere and EVERYTHING is perfect. This is rare! We are extremely selective with accommodations we choose and even more particular about cleanliness. This property is adorable, cozy, and most importantly clean! It is obvious that the owners take pride in their ownership! The finishings and furniture are of great quality. The outside spaces are beautifully furnished with inviting, comfortable pieces to ensure a restful experience. The apartment is located in a quiet, serene complex, surrounded by picturesque gardens that are extremely well kept. Although that alone would be enough, the owners have generously ensured that everything you could need is on hand. Besides all of the kitchenware that is present, they have gone above and beyond to provide soo many helpful extras that most owners don't. The list is too long, but to name a few items, seasonings, storage bags, cooking spray, laundry detergent, recycle bags for shopping, cushions for the chairs at the pool, an umbrella for the beach. If this seems too good to be true, know that we experienced it and it is just that. Now, as wonderful as all of that is and there seems no way to top it, believe it or not, it gets better. The owners are so nice, considerate and caring. Despite employing a property manager they still take the time to answer questions, provide suggestions and make sure that you have everything you need. Gail was a delight to communicate with! You will NOT be disappointed

We had the best time at this stunning penthouse, the decoration and detail is absolutely amazing as this the whole estate. The Deck restaurant and bar service are fantastic and the infinity pool has one of the best views I’ve ever seen. All communication from Gail is exceptionally prompt, thorough and offered lots of recommendations and local knowledge. Everything you could possibly need is on hand and this truly felt like a home from home for us. We can not recommend this property highly enough and would definitely book again in preference to some of the top Holetown hotels we have previously stayed at. Hard to put into words how gorgeous this place is and clearly loved and cherished by Gail and Chris, there is so much love in every detail and decoration 😁 Thank you so much,

This apartment is perfectly situated.We needed a recharge and the location is perfect, nice and quiet with everywhere easily accessible. The Clubhouse, the Deck and the pool were quiet and relaxing and a fab choice of restaurants close by. The apartment itself feels like home. Gail and Chris have thought of everything you need, and more! It’s lovely to have breakfast on the main terrace, and the upstairs sun terrace is perfect in the evening. Membership to the beach club at the Fairmont is a huge bonus. Gail is an extra asset to the property as she shares her wealth of knowledge of the area and her directions to Sugar Hill are spot on. This is definitely a property we will return to.

Absolute Perfection!

Stayed for 3 weeks to celebrate our 25th anniversary and … just didn’t want to leave! We’ve stayed in a fair few rentals over the years and this is hands down the best. Everything you could possibly need is in the apartment plus those extras to make your holiday even more perfect. The bed is comfy, lovely linens and towels (so often these are a letdown, but Gail & Chris have clearly gone that extra mile). Kitchen is really well equipped and was great to cook in. We were welcomed on arrival with a really thoughtful selection of essentials in the fridge - including Banks, rum & coke! The two terraces are beautiful - styled like an interiors magazine photoshoot, and super comfy too with seriously great quality furniture - it’s all so well thought out. Enjoyed the spectacular sunsets from the roof terrace. Sugar Hill itself gorgeous. Both pools are lovely, staff everywhere are great, helpful and funny, gym is good and the Deck restaurant (happy hour twice a week) has fab food and lovely staff. Sunbed service around the pool too which was fantastic! The grounds & gardens are gorgeous, and we loved all the birds! Watching the hummingbirds from the infinity pool was magical. Location is also (you guessed it) perfect - short ride to town for supermarkets & restaurants. Plus the beach club membership is a real bonus - stunning swimming, and the best sunbeds! Short walk to JuJus beach car too! It’s also a great base to explore the island further - not enough space here to list it all!

Lovely Apartment in a Beautiful Setting

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely apartment with views over the Beautiful mature and verdant gardens of Sugar Hill in close proximity to the West Coast beaches and numerous restaurants. The apartment is fully equipped for a long term stay, with cooking facilities for a change to restaurant eating. We enjoyed breakfast on the balcony overlooking the gardens and pool and sundowners on the roof terrace with views of the setting sun over the sea. Gail kept in touch from our booking to arrival and provided comprehensive information about the apartment and the Island. Access to the Fairmont Beach Club is a real bonus for beach lovers, located just a few minutes from Sugar Hill by car and there’s a well stocked Massy Supermarket in Holetown 10 minutes away. We collected a car hired from Stoutes on arrival and dropped it off on departure. We’ve used them multiple times and have always had first class service. Jeanette and Ray M

We had an amazing time staying at the property. It had everything we needed and more to make our stay comfortable. The owners had thought of everything and more to make it feel home from home.

Security on the gate and always someone at reception to help you out. Its beautifully maintained. So peaceful and calm. It’s approx 5 mins drive to the nearest beach and the same to the nearest place to eat You will need a car as it’s on quite a steep hill but I’d recommend a car anyway to explore the island etc. we had the best time and hope to return

Such a great stay

We have been to Barbados several times but this was our first stay at Sugar Hill. Once we had booked, communication with Gail was excellent. She was very accomodating and offered helpful suggestions for restaurants and travel arrangements. The property was even better than it appeared on the website. Gail and Chris have put a lot of thought in to making the property a real home from home. It is cosy, beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. One of my biggest complaints with even some very expensive property rentals is that when one arrives there is very little there and towels are strictly rationed. That is certainly not the case with this property. We had unlimited access to the towel stock and there was washing up liquid, kitchen cloths, tea ,instant coffee, dried herbs, olive oil and vinegar, plenty of loo paper, shower gel,cotton wool and some toiletries provided. We tried not to take too much advantage of their generosity by replacing some items before we left. The bottle of rum, Banks beer and Coke waiting on our arrival was most welcome. The kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of glasses, china and cutlery. The apartment is not huge but is perfectly adequate for two people. We enjoyed a few evening meals on the lower terrace where it was lovely eating by candlelight. The cherry literally on the top however was the wonderful roof terrance that was furnished with two spotless and very comfortable sunbeds as well as a lovely seating area. We really enjoyed having our morning coffee on the roof watching the sun rise over the beautiful gardens. Sugar Hill is a very well maintained complex. The guards at the entrance were attentive and we felt very secure in our apartment and in the grounds. There were two fabulous pools, a gym and tennis courts. We ate at The Deck which is the onsite restaurant and went there for drinks. Both the food and the staff were very good. We made plenty of use of the apartment's membership of the Royal Fairmont Beach Club which was a very easy 5 minute drive down the hill. It was a bonus not having to pay for sunbeds every day. We love Barbados and try to visit most years and we would most definately stay at this great property again.

Owners who have thought of everything !

This apartment is fabulous. The owners Gail and Chris have decorated it tastefully giving it a feeling of comfort and sumptuousness. There is a gorgeous roof terrace with special non slip flooring on the stairs ,with comfortable sofas, chairs and two sun loungers. It was my most favourite place to be,especially in the morning drinking a cup of tea and at night sipping a gin and tonic as the sun went down. It had views of the complex and the sea . There was everything you could want and more . Gail and Chris seemed to have thought of everything from a small cool bag to hold sandwiches to take to the beach to padded chair covers to make the chairs by the pool more comfortable. Little touches like cotton wool pads, toiletries, tea, coffee, a bottle of rum , beer and Coca Cola in the fridge, ice in the freezer, and much more were provided . Facilities include a large washing machine and dryer , two hairdryers, hair straighteners, a plethora of towels , toilet rolls, an Amazon fire stick for the TV, plus many channels, and so much more designed to make your stay comfortable and easy. There is a membership card for the Fairmont beach club plus tips on restaurants and other attractions. There is a pool by the apartment and one at the clubhouse . Dotted around the apartment and on the terraces outside the lounge and bedroom and on the roof are candles to light which is lovely at night. There is a manager on hand who is very efficient and deals quickly with any problems or queries. The complex is very quiet and relaxing. There is not one bit of criticism I can give . Both Gail and Chris have created a real gem of an apartment ..one you can relax in and enjoy the gorgeous views from the terraces. They seemed to have thought of everything a guest could want. I would thoroughly recommend booking this incredible apartment with such lovely owners, who are easy to communicate with and who give recommendations to make this a special and easy holiday accommodation.

We had such a relaxing weeklong stay at Gail and Chris’ condo. The space is well laid out, clean, and perfectly appointed. We especially loved the roof top deck for sunset cocktails - what a special space! The grounds, pools and gym at Sugar Hill are well taken care of and spacious. We loved going down to the Fairmont beach to swim in the ocean. Gail is an excellent host and communicator - she was always quick to respond and made many restaurant recommendations.

A203 Sugar Hill - what you see is what you get!

I think most people renting a property online for the first time may worry it will not live up to the sales pitch. But from our first communication with Gail it was clear we were dealing with someone who genuinely cares about providing a lovely apartment plus offers excellent and responsive customer care. Gail continued to keep us updated after booking, and even whilst on the island. In addition, once there, Alicia, the property manager, was online to respond to our questions and always came back quickly. We have been coming to Barbados for 25 years and I can thoroughly recommend A203 as an apartment which is clean, comfortable and well appointed. The upper balcony is a great space to chill out with comfortable chairs and sofa, loungers and lovely views across Sugar Hill towards the sea. Sugar Hill is a well maintained estate with beautiful grounds and pools, and secure gated entry. The photos and description provided by Gail and Chris are completely accurate and I could not add much to what is said in the description of the apartment and area. Not all apartments offer membership of the Fairmont Beach Club and this was a real plus for us as it gives you access to the stunning Alleynes beach with parking for the car you will need if you stay at Sugar Hill. Once at the Club you can walk all the way on the beach to Holetown if the tide is right, or chill at JuJus beach bar, or dine well at The Lone Star restaurant. We had a lovely 7 day stay in September 2022. Thank you, Gail, for being a great hostess and providing a lovely apartment - and of course our chats over the whole period! And to anyone reading this review – we thoroughly recommend you book up! All the best for future rentals, Jim & Jan

Perfection!

This was our first visit to Barbados and the island and the property both far exceeded our expectations! The owners go above and beyond to make sure guests have an amazing stay! Gail was in touch before and during our trip with lots of helpful tips and information. Gail and Chris’ apartment was perfect for my husband and I. The apartment was spotless and beautifully decorated. It has everything you could possibly need and we felt at home during our stay. We loved the space and the outdoor areas. Alicia the property manager also checked in with us throughout our stay and was very responsive when we had a minor issue with the AC that needed repair, having it fixed right away. June the housekeeper freshened up during our stay which was very nice as well. Sugar Hill is beautiful! The location is fantastic. So peaceful and relaxing yet close to lots of shopping and restaurants. I loved going for walks through the neighborhood in the morning. The infinity pool at sunset is gorgeous and lunch at the Deck was tasty! All of the staff at Sugar Hill were so friendly and helpful. The beach club at the Fairmont was also wonderful. Just a quick drive away. The loungers are so comfortable and the beach is perfect for swimming and relaxing. There is a reef right there with lots of fish to see if you bring a snorkel. Thank you Gail and Chris for allowing us to stay in your home!

Barbados holiday

First time in Barbados and this is the perfect apartment for a holiday. It overlooks the pool in Sugar Hill development and is warm comfortable and has everything you could think of . Most importantly, the owners Gail and Chris were so helpful pre visit in terms of car rental, where to go, where to shop, restaurants and of course the beaches. Their manager Alicia was also on hand for any query. This was our first time to Barbados and will definitely come back due to the warmth of the people , their humour and of course the island.

About the host

Hosted by Chris and Gail O’Toole

We have been coming to the Island for over 20+ years and always dreamt of one day owning our own property. We love the Island, it’s culture and the people are what makes it so special. The beaches are amazing and each coastline is different. You can do as much or as little as you want to to relax here. In October 2019 this dream became a reality and now we have our own piece of this wonderful paradise to call our second home.

Why they chose this property

Sugar Hill is an amazing private estate, with beautiful gardens and fab facilities. It has a community feel and set within a tranquil environment yet so close to Holetown and the West coast beaches. Best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Our private and secluded roof terrace , recently refurbished in October 2020/June 2021 with new porcelain tiles, with sea views set between the majestic swaying palm trees. Sumptuous outdoor furniture makes this a relaxing area for sunbathing or with a drink watching the amazing West coast sunsets. Or star gazing with the back drop of a few twinkling candles and listening to the birds and tree frogs. It simply doesn’t get any better than this!
