OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

**THERE IS A 7-NIGHT MINIMUM STAY FOR CHRISTMAS, AND OLD YEAR'S AND NO CHECK-IN/OUT ON 25TH DECEMBER, 31ST DECEMBER 2023, OR 1ST JANUARY 2024**

**The balcony of this apartment is close to the road and public steps.**

**While this apartment was completely renovated in March 2022 due to budget restraints we kept the original terracotta tiles which have a lot of imperfections.**

**Please note this is our smallest & lowest priced apt in the building. If you think you need more space or your budget allows you can check out our other listings all in the same building.**

1 - Our property is built into the Maxwell Hill cliff front, while it boasts an amazing ocean view it also comes with a lot of stairs. This unit is at our entrance on level 5 which is 5 stories above our pool and bottom entrance.

2 - Our property is clean, modern & central BUT IT IS A LOW BUDGET PROPERTY. With our low rental prices also comes low-budget furnishings. The bed frames are cheap metal frames & the mattresses are memory foam or spring hybrids all from Amazon. The bed while comfortable will squeak/shake with a lot of heavy movement. Our bed linens and towels are also from the Amazon low-budget line. Our kitchen items are from the dollar store & Walmart. The ACS while cold are budget-friendly window ACs built into the wall, and as a result, they are not the quietest.

3- In an effort to be eco-friendly, we use solar-powered water heaters which means our hot water doesn’t get the hottest, especially on rainy or cloudy days.

4- our property is clean, modern & central BUT IT IS A LOW BUDGET PROPERTY. With our low rental price also comes low-budget furnishings. The bed is a cheap metal frame with an 8” hybrid spring/memory foam mattress from Amazon (the bed while comfortable will squeak with a lot of heavy movement). Our bed linens and towels are also from the Amazon low-budget line. Our kitchen items are from the dollar store & Walmart.

5- we have opted for cost-effective wall-mounted window air conditioning units. It is important to note that these units may not offer the same level of quietness or cooling performance as the split system or central air systems that guests may be accustomed to in their home countries. As a budget-friendly establishment situated on an island with some of the highest gas and electrical prices globally, we are unable to keep the air conditioning units running in the apartments prior to check-in. We kindly request that guests operate the air conditioning units only while they are physically present in the apartment.

6- interior renovations on level 5 and level 4 might be occurring during stays. some noise may be experienced Monday-Friday 10 am-6 pm. We make every attempt to keep noise to a minimum while guests are in the building but as we expand some noise is unavoidable.

7- The pool/cabana is sometimes rented out on weekends and during school holidays for private events which normally last 4-6 hours. The pool/cabana will be closed to guests during private events. We try to keep loud music to a minimum and require all events to finish by 10 pm at the latest. We will always notify you of any events on the property beforehand.

8- you are limited to 2 free visitors at a time. Based on availability additional visitors can purchase pool passes at $25 USD/person or you can rent the poolside party cabana for up to 40ppl for $300 USD extra or the rooftop deck for up to 15 ppl for $ 150 USD. These Visitor/Party rules are subject to govt Covid emergency management act of Barbados.

9- We ONLY provide bath towels, guests will need to bring their own beach/pool towels. We only provide bed sheets, we do not have blankets/comforters as this is the tropics.

10- There are no landlines on the property. Guests will want to either buy local sims or be prepared to use their local cell roaming or download a WIFI messaging app.

11- Our spaces while comfortable and stylish have very compact footprints (please see the floor plan in the pictures).

12- Please note we do not have 24/7 maintenance or housekeeping service like most hotels. Our maintenance and housekeeping staff are only available between the hours of 9am - 5pm

13- Our dedicated housekeeping and maintenance team is available to change your gas tank between 9 am and 5 pm. In case of an emergency run-out outside of these hours, you can easily access spare tanks in the guest supply closet (apt 2/tinyhouse) or the housekeeping room (apt 5a). Simply reach out to us via the platform you booked with or send a message to WhatsApp at 246-828-5519 (Rudo) or 246-266-6371 (Office) for the door code and a step-by-step video tutorial on how to change the tank.

14- As a tropical haven, our property is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including monkeys, lizards, birds, crickets, frogs, and mosquitoes. And, of course, let's not forget our family cat, Ginger. So, be prepared to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the sights and sounds of the local flora and fauna.

15- Please be advised that our establishment operates as a self-check-in and self-service property. Access is managed through electronic codes and the property is monitored by video surveillance for your safety and security.

16- Barbados, being classified as a developing country, experiences occasional island-wide utility outages. Although these instances are not frequent, they are more likely to occur during the hurricane season. It is worth mentioning that our building is strategically located in the heart of the popular South Coast tourist district, which typically results in quicker restoration of services compared to the more rural and less densely populated areas of the island. However, it is important to be aware that our property does not possess backup water tanks, generators, satellite phones/internet, or natural gas tanks.

17- We do not operate as a hotel and do not provide services such as bellboy assistance, daily housekeeping, concierge assistance, or front desk services.

About the host

Hosted by Rudo Catlin

Host profile image
I’m Shona, and this is my husband Rudo and our kids Kayla and Kaia. Together we own and run this little boutique hotel in the making!

Opening a stylish yet budget and eco-friendly boutique hotel has been a lifelong dream of mine. So in 2015 when we moved back to Barbados (Rudo’s Birthplace), we went on a mission to make this dream a reality.

We sacrificed and moved in with our parents to cut expenses and started saving up and looking for the right property.

In 2019 we purchased 19 Moravian Gardens/19 Maxwell Hill Road, a rundown 11-unit / 5-story oceanview apartment complex in Maxwell, Christ Church, and started doing a massive redevelopment, drawing on my experience as an Architect, Rudos experience as a Financial Advisor, and our joint love of unique budget-friendly travel.

We want to give you everything we look for in travel accommodations — safe central location, nice views, unique & comfortable interiors, and prices that won't break the bank ;-)

Right now only 7 of 11 apartments are finished and listed for rent on VRBO, and we are working hard to finish renovating the rest of the building. We know we have a LONG way to go, to truly make Paradise Point Barbados a boutique hotel, but we hope that you book with us and enjoy all that our holiday apartments have to offer — style, comfort, central location, oceanviews, pool access and GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!

With love & light,
— Shona & Rudo Catlin
