The Space:
Welcome to Little Welches, a stylishly modern apartment within a charming Bajan home, just minutes from some of the best beaches on the south coast. Perfect for a quiet getaway or to explore the local attractions, this spacious one-bedroom retreat offers all the comforts of home.
As you enter, you'll be greeted by a bright and open living area, featuring double French doors that lead out to a private veranda. The veranda is a great spot for outdoor dining, with a cozy seating area to enjoy a morning coffee or evening drink. Inside, the living room is furnished with a comfortable sofa (which converts into a sofa bed), perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.
The kitchenette is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a fridge, oven, stove, microwave, and even a washing machine. Whether you're preparing a light snack or a full meal, you'll find all the cooking basics at your disposal.
The bedroom features a stunning four-poster bed draped with light curtains, creating a serene, airy space to relax. Room-darkening shades and air conditioning ensure a restful night's sleep.
With a well-appointed bathroom offering a spacious shower, soft towels, and thoughtful amenities, you'll feel pampered throughout your stay.
Guest Access:
The entrance is through the main door from the street. You'll walk through the beautiful garden, then go up the stairs to your lovely loft-style room, which is completely private and exclusively yours during your stay.
The Neighborhood:
Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking a horse paddock, this peaceful apartment is just a 10-minute stroll from the sandy shores of Rockley and Worthing beaches. The neighborhood is calm and residential, yet close to fantastic local restaurants, beach bars, and shopping spots. Enjoy a leisurely walk along the boardwalk, or explore nearby Hastings for more dining and shopping options. Ideal for couples or solo travelers looking for relaxation, beach time, and local culture.
Getting Around:
The nearest airport is Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI), just 7 miles (11 km) away, approximately a 20-minute drive depending on traffic. Free parking is available on-site for guests. Public transportation is easily accessible within a 10-minute walk, offering buses that take you along the coast and into Bridgetown in around 15 minutes.
Other Things to Note:
The apartment is located on the first floor and is accessed via a short flight of steps. Entry is through a convenient keypad lock, so you won’t need to worry about carrying keys. Although the apartment is designed for two guests, the living room sofa bed can comfortably accommodate a child or young person. A detailed guidebook is provided, offering curated recommendations for local dining spots, beaches, and activities, ensuring you can explore the area like a local.

About the host
Hosted by mike embleton
My wife Natalie and I have travelled a fair bit and we always do our own thing and use Airbnb. Following long careers in the UK we moved back to Barbados, my childhood home in January 2024. We then renovated this lovely old Bajan home and created our apartment called Little Welches . We like to think that we have incorporated all the elements to make this your home from home .
We now want to share our love of this beautiful island with you.

Why they chose this property
Garden Gap is a quiet lovely old neighbourhood, yet it only a 10 minute stroll from all the action of the beautiful South Coast of Barbados
What makes this property unique
Our property has been completly renovated in 2024 and as part of this we incorporated a purpose built short term rental apartment, Little Welches. Little Welches has it own private veranda overlooking a horse paddock with green monkeys and parrots passing through most evenings. A perfect place to have a sundowner and dine in warm carribean nights
