The rental property is a cozy, comfortable, clean unit within a 5 to 7 minute walk to the entrance to the public beach and is one block from the main beach road (with regular bus service to and from Bridgetown). Sandy Lane beach (one of the best beaches in the west coast of Barbados) is a 10 minute walk south from the condo.

The condo has one bedroom with a queen size bed and air-conditioning (bedroom only!). The unit has full fiber-optic internet service available for guests' use.

The sitting\dining room has a couch (that converts into a small additional double bed), two separate lounging arm chairs, a ceiling fan, cable TV , DVD player and a CD-AM\FM radio unit.

There is also a private parking spot in front of condo (for a rental car, guest parking, etc.).
A pay-as-you go local cell phone is provided to guests for their use during their stay that will enable guests to make local and oversea calls (without incurring roaming charges) and also to receive calls from family and friends from abroad.

The condo is immediately next door to Sunset Mall that has a local bank, a large duty free store (previously called Cave Sheppard), photo shop (with Internet service) and other smaller shops. There is also a mini-mall across the street that has an excellent Bistro (8.11 Bistro that offers full meals) and a great coffee shop called Italia Coffee shop (with free internet) as well as beauty salon services. In addition, there is a local food van that sells lunch from Monday to Friday with local Barbados (Bajan) food such as chicken, pork, fish, etc., parks immediately across the street from the condo and has very reasonable prices that is a nice option from the more expensive restaurants in the area.
The condo's location immediately near the beach, shopping, restaurants, 24 hr. medical clinic and Holetown ensure that guests do not have to rent a car while in Barbados if they do not want to do so since everything is essentially within a 10-15 minute walk from the condo. There is a large high-end shopping mall with restaurants, a movie theatre and a bar (Limegrove) that is a 15 minute walk north from the condo. Immediately across the street from Limegrove mall you will also find Holetown's1st and 2nd Streets with restaurants and bar/clubs for your evening entertainment.
Green monkeys may also be seen in the neighborhood, particularly early in the mornings near the All Seasons Resort (2 block walk from the condo). They usually feed by the ravine area (ask the locals where to spot them!).
There is also a lovely Boardwalk (completed in Dec 2013) by the seaside that runs from our local beach in a northerly direction towards Holetown and beyond and is home to additional beaches and beach-side bars and restaurants (approximately 1 km. to Holetown). This Boardwalk has also been extended beyond Holetown and now provides for a fabulous walk (45 min to 1 hour) all the way northwards towards Speightstown to Alleyne's Bay and is a fantastic addition of things to do in our local area.
