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.

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.

You will not be disappointed

It is close to the beach? Yes, we enjoyed waking up to the sound of the ocean and walking to the beach. Could not be closer to the beach. What about parking? Secure parking under the condo with a security guard watching the cars at night. Anything to do around the condo? Yes, you can walk to stores, restaurants all within a 10-15 minute walk. Small grocery store, restaurant, bakery, and other stores right across the street. Clean and safe? Yes, fob to get into the parking lot, fob for door entrance and key to condo unit. Building is secure and the condo is very clean and well kept. Would you return? Yes, not sure if we will make it back to Barbados, (several other Caribbean islands to visit first), but if we did return we would secure a week at this condo. Other comments: We were welcomed by Cyrus (he works for the owner who lives in UK). Cyrus met us after a late fight (after 11:00pm) and provided helpful information about the condo, places to eat, places to visit, and also was available during the week if we had questions or needed anything during our visit. Thank you Cyrus for providing wonderful hospitality. Summary: Secure a date and plan your trip to Barbados and stay at Villa K.

Best property in St Lawrence Gap!

We love the Gap, and this property is perfectly located! You can literally walk to anywhere in St Lawrence Gap. Dover Market is across the street, and lots of restaurants are just a short walk. The location was fantastic(it’s on a private beach), and we plan on returning next year. The unit is beautiful and spacious, and perfect for 2-4 people. Everything you need is there, including beach towels and 2 coolers for adult beverages! Your beach/ ocean view from your balcony is wonderful and relaxing. Philip is the perfect host…so easy to work with, particularly in this time of Covid. Once you’ve arrived, Cyrus will take care of anything you need. We truly didn’t want for anything! This is our 3rd trip to Barbados, and we hope to stay here on every trip in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Philip Ball

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.
