Speightown

The property is just a short walk from Heywoods beach and a lovely bar called the Cabose which serves fantastic cutters, the property is very comfortable but would benefit from having aircon throughout, also a little tired in places a lick of paint would sort that out. Over all though a good price and friendly locals.

Fantastic location and setup

We had a wonder time, as we did when we stayed here last time. I was delighted to see that the host had upgraded the mattresses as I had suggested due to my daughter's cronic pain. Bathrooms were clean and functional, as was the kitchen. We ate in alot which saved $, and was possible because the kitche had all the equipment needed. And if there is something you need, just call Gabriel. He is terrific. We recommend this VRBO highly. I shoul also mentioned that a 10 minute walk taves you to a fablos beach (Heywoods beach) and town groceries,, restaurants and banks.

Don't Stay Here

Property was dirty, poorly equipped and the website photos were not actually of this apartment. Paid for a stay of over 5 weeks, lasted one night, would rather lose the money than stay here

Comfortable and clean

We have stayed at this property multiple times. It is close to the beach. The only complaint is the neighbour’s barking dog.

Great value and location

The location was perfect for our family. Beds were comfortable. It would do well to go through the cupboards to make sure there is enough utensils etc. the place holds 6 people, but there were only forks for 3. It could also use a bit of decorating.. We found it dark, with no real view of any kind, but we were only there in the evenings, so really didn’t matter. We had our morning coffee out front on the small patio, and enjoyed it because, well, you are in Barbados. We loved the local feel of the neighbourhood. We would definitely stay there again, given the location and price. Over all, it was great, and Paul was very accommodating to our specific requests..ie bbq.

Great place to stay

had a great 2 weeks stay here with my family, great location, walkable to the beach and town. Neighbours very friendly. Accommodation worked out well and plenty of room. Wifi and TV was great to keep the kids entertained and within easy drive to bars and restaurants and the great beaches and attractions. Would definitely stay here again. Would recommend a cat if you want to see the island for yourself

Basic, but overall pleasant stay

Our stay at the property was overall pleasant. The property manager was responsive and the check in and check out process went well. The house was as described, there was plenty of room as we were just the three of us (including a 4-year-old) and this can host six people. The two bathrooms worked well and the showers are lovely, very spacious. The house could be massively improved by changing some of the furniture (some stuff was very old), by replacing some of the tools left at guests' disposal (a new, clean broom would be good, and better cutlery), and making the overall experience feel a little less basic. I must say the matresses, and some of the beds, would certainly benefit from replacing. The house also needs a general tidy up. There's some junk left here and there, especially inside drawers which should be removed. Dishwashing liquid and a sponge were usefully provided, but I would suggest to provide cleaning products for the house too, which I would normally expect to find rather than buy myself if I'm staying just for a week. The house has a few British type sockets as well as USB ports, which are extremily useful for those travelling from the UK like us, and we loved them.

Love spacious apar, great price

My adult daughter and I stayed at this great find for 6 nights. We loved it so much we are returning on the 15th. The apartment is big, we each had our own bedroom and bathroom with one bedroom extra for luggage etc. Gabrielle was great, showed us everything we needed to know. Very safe area. Fairly long walk to beach but I need the exercise (so it would take much less time if you are in better shape or have a car). Town is nice, good options for Dining out and we also bought groceries and made breakfast, lunch and dinner in the apartment on various days. CA not recommend highly enough.

Close to shopping, beach and bus terminal

We stayed in the ground floor apartment for 12 days while waiting for our other long term rental in Muilins. This place is convenient in terms of location if you don't like renting cars. The apartment had lots of room and modern shower However it could use some care and maintenance in terms of functionality and comfort especially some of us older folks who want a more comfy place to lie down. I would definitely recommend due to its location and good size for big families

Barbados holiday

We enjoyed our stay in Speightown. The apartment was in a good location but we took a taxi to the beach as it was too hot to walk especially on the way back. Their was an excellent taxi driver Dwight who would pick you up from the airport he lived in the house opposite. Gabriel met us and was around if we needed him. The Furnishings were good but little things could be improved their were no plugs in any sink or wash basin. Gabriel did try to provide some but they did not fit. Which may explain why some of the crockery was tacky to the touch. All the kitchen cupboards were grubby . There was a broken tap in the bathroom which Gabriel did glue back! The bathrooms were grubby as well . But the main areas were clean . One of the kitchen cupboard door were falling off and one had no handle.It was a shame about these things for a small amount of money it could all be fixed giving a much nicer impression. There was a phone left for us to call Gabriel if needed which was a very nice touch. Would we go back, yes, but our expectations would be lower.

Nice quiet property conveniently located

Property was clean, convenient and very close to the beach. Paul Holder was very easy to work with and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. Just note that the neighborhood is full of chickens and roosters that start crowing around 3-4 in the morning so if you’re not used to it like me, it will wake you up. Also, I was disappointed I couldn’t get WiFi in the bedroom and the ac is only out in the common area although the bedrooms do have fans. I would stay here again though. It was nice to experience the proximity to Speightstoqn.

Very pleasant apartment, has everything you need.

The apartment is about 15 minutes gentle walk into Speightstown. Heywoods beach which was my favourite and beautiful beach was also a gentle 15 minutes walk. So if you don’t hire a car be prepared to walk. Catching the local buses is easy but again be prepared for an experience. The apartment was clean and had most things you need. The apartment is situated in a quiet residential area and we felt quite safe. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Barbados!

We had a wonderful time in the Barbados in February! Speightstown is a beautiful quiet place, we always felt safe and welcome. This apartment was great, had everything we needed. It was clean, comfortable, lots of room & we always had hot water. It's about a 5 minute walk to Almond Beach which is beautiful. About a 10 minute walk to the nearest restaurant, it's in a nice neighbourhood and we always felt safe going out. The supermarket was about a 15 min walk and they'll call a cab for you, if you have too many groceries to carry, so no need to rent a car. We used Roger from Doc's Taxi Service for all our taxi/tour needs -- very friendly & reliable, knows the island very well. We will definitely be back to the Barbados in the near furture.

Worn and tired

We were disappointed. The property had not been aired prior to our arrival even though the agents knew of our arrival time, therefore the apartment was musty & smelly. Had to clean before we settled in for the night after a long flight and journey to the apartment.The pictures posted are old, from when it was first listed and new. Needs work and a thorough deep clean as the sofas are dire. I suggest an investment in a steam cleaner would suffice. Listed...., a garden but not one you can use to relax in, so if your looking to chill in a garden with a good read, keep looking. This is not the place for you. No emergency contacts available in the apartment a must, doctors;dentist taxi. The agent needs to give more detail on the use of the apartment and how to get to the highway for those not driving, as there is a short cut. Plastic covering on beds in hot climates is not a good idea as, is informing your guests to restrict electricity use,you pay to stay in accommodation /hotels and the cost should reflect any usage. On plus note the showers were very powerful..though curtains need changing. The house keeper needs to be sacked a not doing a great job,
