Beautiful Barbados
High recommendations for this condo. Outstanding veranda with GORGEOUS views! This condo was extremely clean, property mgrs were extremely pleasant (Cyrus & Liam) and location can't be beat. The owner (Philip) was also very quick to reply to any questions I had prior to booking and after. 12 out of 10 stars !

Perfect spot
An absolutely stunning property on a small beach between Dover and Turtle. Every amenity imaginable is in the apartment. The terrace is large and has a picture postcard view. Secured parking for your rental car. The staff is stellar. The only possible thing that I could possibly criticise is that the freezer temperature setting inhibits maximum ice production. If you want a lot of ice it won’t keep up. I would highly recommend this property.

Barbados family vacation July 2024
We really enjoyed our stay at the white sands villas. The property host were more than accommodating to us in every way. The facility was clean and well maintained. We stayed at Phil’s villa K overlooking the ocean and it was magnificent. We saw so many turtles come on our beach at night which was a huge highlight for us. The surrounding area was very friendly and the people are nice. Only thing to be aware of is the cost of living is very expensive in Barbados, since everything is imported.We loved our stay and can’t wait to return.

Great beach views at a clean spacious condo
The pictures barely does this place justice. The views were immaculate of the beach. It’s conveniently located in the Gap and it was the perfect location for my husband and I to enjoy our second wedding anniversary which coincided with the Crop Over celebration. Philip is pleasant and great at communicating. He was helpful in recommending a gym for my husband to continue his nonstop fitness journey. The property manager was welcoming and helpful as well. We’d love to return in the future

Exceptional stay!
I’ve stayed at White Sands Beach Condos before but WOW, this was an upgrade!! We had a magnificent time at Philip’s property for our honeymoon. The space was huge and that alone was luxurious. I felt we should call everyone we know to show them how nice it was. The villa is all you could ever want - pristine, unobstructed turquoise ocean view on a non-crowded beach, strong AC (we had to turn it off at times and we were there in peak summer heat!), beautiful marble floors, and comfy furniture. My husband loved the large TV and the pool especially. All the appliances were easy to navigate, and there was more cookware than even our kitchen at home! I also took photos of the art, I liked it so much! The sunset views from the balcony and even through the windows were postcard-quality. The building staff, property managers, and nightly security guards were wonderful and friendly. I’ve come to Barbados 8 times in the last few years and can confirm this is a very safe area nearby the action and many delicious restaurants. We took surf lessons from Barry’s surf school a few doors down - the perfect combination of relaxation and activity! Also, the private covered parking is a fantastic perk. I also have to recommend specifically renting from Philip, the owner. He is absolutely delightful, the exact wonderful gentleman you’d expect to own such a fabulous beach condo. If he has any other destination properties, we will stay at those, too :) Can’t wait to return soon!

Five star condo in the gap
Great condo for our party of four. Everything as described. Nice touch with Cyrus meeting us upon arrival and giving us the orientation. (Ensure you give the owner your arrival time) Beach just outside of the building. Private with security guards. Just a great place for those needing a two bedroom place. Nice location in the ‘gap’ Great attention to detail. Convenience store across the road. Once settled better to go to Masseys, Take the local buses for $3.50 BBD. Great pre-cruise stay and vacation. We highly recommend this condo.

Family holiday
Would fully recommend this apartment and location. This is my second time to Barbados and this location was spot on for water loving families. White Sands beach has some rocks so ended up buying water shoes for my girls but the short walk to Dover beach meant a beautiful sandy entry in the water. Amazing surf conditions to learn and improve on, we had lessons at Barry’s Surf school which is a few mins walk from the apartment. We were met on arrival to the apartment by Liam who explained everything and gave us lots of info. Apartment was immaculate and we feel very lucky to have found this place. Great places to eat all within a short walk. Lovely quiet place to stay but close to loads of beautiful restaurants. Can’t wait to return.

This Condo is number 1 on our list in a hand full of stays on different islands and destinations. All 4 of us rate this as a paradise with a more than fantastic beach and an even better condo! The check-in procedure was flawless with Cyrus (Marketing & Reservations Manager) greeting us and providing a tour and full explanation of everything we needed. We will return if we are able to book this exact condo again!

Outstanding Location
Located along the St. Lawrence Gap but just out of earshot of the nightlife, with dozens of meal options, and a market directly across the street. The view was stunning, and the condo was spacious and well equipped. The beach was private, and there were always loungers, umbrellas, boogie boards at our disposal, so need need to rush out in the morning or pay extra for rentals. The staff was friendly, and extremely helpful. Easy and secure parking on the premises.

A Wonderful Escape!!
Condo was great..pics don't do it justice. Beautiful beach right below the large patio with gorgeous turquoise water is where we spent our days...didn't need other beaches. Lounge chairs & umbrellas are provided but we had "our" spot between palm trees every day so we didn't need umbrellas. We go for the beach so didn't do other activities/attractions.... just a few of the restaurants in the Gap which are many & varied. We used Greg's taxi service as recommended by management for restaurants beyond our walking range and he was excellent. A couple of minor issues (wifi, a slow shower drain) were quickly rectified by Cyrus who along with Liam made us feel very welcome. This was our first visit to Barbados and we couldn't have asked for more....super friendly people and gorgeous setting. We loved seeing the turtles and hearing the whistling frogs at night. We plan on booking "K" again next year but for 2 weeks instead of one!

Our Barbados Getaway
First of all the property manager is amazing and very responsive when I had questions throughout our stay and the night time security officer was one of the nicest people we met on the island. The property itself is right on the beach, with a beautiful view. You have access to beach loungers and chairs. In my opinion the condo wasn’t as clean. A lot of mold in the showers. The tile grout definitely needed some TLC. The bathtub had a large crack, as well…I could write my name in the amount of dust on the cabinet in the living room. The ant problem in the kitchen was unbearable. We were informed to notify the property manager if it became bad, so an exterminator would come. I wasn’t comfortable exposing my family and myself to those chemicals…Overall, the condo served our purposes.

Perfect Getaway
The property was perfect for a weeks getaway. Upon arriving I met with Cyrus, one of the property managers who gave me a tour of the property and the condo I rented to ensure everything was perfect for my stay. He was also helpful with restaurant recommendations and activities I should try. White Sands Condo was perfect and I’ll be back visiting soon !!!

Perfection!
First class condo in a beautiful location. Philip, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with in the time leading up to our stay and provided us with a multitude of very useful information. The large balcony facing directly to the ocean was perfect for early morning breakfasts and evening sunsets. The amenities offered by the condo are superb. The location is exceptionally quiet as it is away from the main street. An exceptional seven nights. We hope we have the opportunity to return some day!!

A little piece of paradise in Barbados
Villa K is situated right on the beach with amazing views over the sea where you can watch turtles swimming. The pictures don't do it justice and the villa is spacious with every amenity you can think off. The communication and check in procees was superb and Cyrus was there to meet us and show us round. The WSBC are situated at the top end of the gap so close enough to all the bars and restaurants but off the main road so quiet and peaceful. If you are looking for a place that has everything you need for an amazing hoilday i couldn't recommend this highly enough.

Wonderful Condo
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at White Sands. The condo was very spacious, clean, well appointed and felt like a home away from home. The check-in process was seamless and informative on the property and condo facilities. The management staff were always readily available to assist with any needs. Our communications with Philip were always promptly answered and he provided excellent information regarding restaurants, shops, activities and general information about the area and the island. We were directly on a quiet part of the beach. Definitely return!

Wonderful Time!
This apartment is spacious and beautiful. The view from the balcony is gorgeous. We loved to sit there watching the waves. One night a turtle came out of the water to lay eggs on the beach! The instructions left by the owner were very helpful--I was able to cook several meals with unfamiliar appliances. The building is well-kept and quiet. Having housekeeping visit several times during our 2-week stay was very welcome. Would definitely go back to Villa K!

Amazing space!
This property had EVERYTHING we needed and more! It was the nicest place I have ever rented. Excellent location close to restaurants and night life, close to airport, nice to have a pool shaded from the sun, gorgeous beach (we saw a sea turtle laying eggs in the sand one night!)...the staff at WSB Condos are phenomenal. The management was excellent about the check in process and communication throughout when I needed help understanding some of the fancy electronics:)...speedy response to any questions. The housekeeping staff and security guards were also sooo lovely and helpful. Nice to have a covered/gated garage for parking rental vehicle. The apartment was more than enough space for 3 year old, 21 year old plus bestie and me. Nice to have to en suite bathrooms and everything was immaculate. All the cooking supplies, even bug spray/zappers, games, flashlights, umbrella...so well stocked with items and nice to have washing machine. in unit with more than enough towels for our week long stay. Quiet area but close to a lot in the area like the corner Dover Market if you need to pick up some supplies. The view from the balcony was AMAZING with gorgeous sunset views and hearing the waves. I can not say enough good things about the property, host and staff at WSB condos. I would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Philip Ball

Host profile image
I am semi-retired and live in Shropshire, England with my wife. We have two children and five grandchildren who all live close by - they keep us very busy!
My wife's family are from Barbados - they go back 300 years, probably kicked out of Britain as undesirables! She dragged me over there so many times in the end I decided to buy an apartment. I guess I have become a part-time Bajan.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be on the beach but near to the bars and restaurants in St Lawrence Gap. We fell in love with the Italianate style of our building and its location at the quiet end of St Lawrence Gap.

What makes this property unique

We love to watch the glorious sunsets and dine on our large balcony overlooking the beach, palm trees and turquoise Caribbean Sea.
