The rental property is well maintained, clean, well equiped and convenient. Communication was excellent. This was our second stay in this apartment, and our 6th at Golden View. This apartment is one of the better ones we have stayed in.
I really enjoyed my vacation to Barbados. The condo is just 2 blocks to the beach and the terrace opens to the pool. Loved the well appointed apartment that had a beach chair, umbrella and plenty of towels. Easy check in process and the apartment was clean with plenty of dishes. My only suggestion is instructions for using the electric stove. Only issue was a mirror in the ebedroom that dropped while I was in the bathroom. A bit of a shock and mess but these things happen. Overall a very pleasant stay and highly recommend. Great spot to unwind and relax with fun in the sun !
The condo is well maintained with lots of little extras to make a stay pleasureable. The property manager, Anita, is extremely helpful and always contactable. The wifi is very good, and we enjoyed watching movies some evenings on HBO which is available in the condo.
We had a really enjoyable and relaxing stay at this apartment. It was very well equipped, clean and had a
homely feel. It suited our needs perfectly!
Beach club access was a great bonus.
Property was in very good condition and was well equipped with everything you could need. Also there was lots of beach equipment, chairs umbrella mask and flippers.
Anita the property manager was just a phone call away for anything we needed help with .
Golden View is ideally situated for easy access to Holetown.
We would definitely stay here again .
Thanks so much Karen and Chris for your kindness and accommodation for our families specific needs this year. We had a lovely time and were very comfortable in your welcoming and homey space. Special thanks for beach club privileges we could all share.
Lovely clean and comfortable condo it had everything you needed. Anita the property manager was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend

Karen and Chris were friendly, helpful and full of excellent information in advance of our stay. Anita, their housekeeper, was charming and efficient. The condo was very well equipped indeed and was spacious, clean and tidy. We had a little trouble with the door lock, but Anita came straightaway to see what the problem was, and got a locksmith to put a new lock on as soon as possible. The pool and garden of the condo building were beautifully maintained, with plenty of sunbeds, and there was a large parking area. It was good to have the aircon in the bedroom, but it did prove a little difficult to source the coins to use! I would have preferred aircon in the living area too, but I do appreciate that might be difficult to achieve. The condo is in an ideal spot - a lovely quiet residential area, but just minutes from shops and restaurants of all prices. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend to others.
Had a lovely time at this apartment, unfortunately we had to leave early and repatriate back due to covid 19!
All being well, we will be back next year!!
We had another great stay at this apartment - it ticks all the boxes for us - Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and Anita our cleaner was lovely and very helpful. The apartment is in a good location with secure grounds and swimming pool, close to beach, Limegrove shopping mall and supermarket. Apartment also has access to Beach House Club. Communication with the owners is very good - would definitely recommend this apartment.
This was our second stay at this excellent apartment and hopefully won't be our last. We have stayed in 4 apartments in Goldenview and this is our favourite. This is a perfect place to experience Barbados, not only is the apartment refurbished as we would have our own place, it is set in lovely secure grounds not far from the beach and all that Holetown has to offer. The hosts were great communicating with us especially around the covid challenges we all face at the moment. Thanks Chris and Karen
Lovely property in an excellent location, the hosts were really friendly & helpful with directions and local area info. The condo was very well equipped with everything you could want from beach furniture & snorkel to packed lunch boxes and cool box (trolley). The kitchen had every utensil, pot and pan if you wanted to cook and unlike many holiday lets they were in nice condition. The condo has a nice community feel and the pool was well maintained and cleaned daily if you fancied a break from the beach. There was also access to a beach club area 5 min walk or 10 min stroll down the hill. The Sandy Lane golf club is just the other side of the road and ideal for a scenic walk or run in the morning before it gats too hot! Overall a great place for an uncomplicated holiday in the sun, highly recommended
We had a super time in Barbados and the apartment was a big part of that. The apartment manager met us and explained how everything worked and also showed us how to maximise the airflow through the apartment to keep it cool. That tip was so good that we did not need to use the air con at all. Being ground floor it was great to be able to wander into the garden from the terrace area, rather than have to take the stairs or lift. The apartment was just what we wanted so it suited us perfectly. It was also in a great location within easy reach of Hometown's bars and restaurants. We took your advice about some of the restaurants and bars to use. We did Just Grillin' as you suggested for our first night and also tried the food truck at Paynes Bay Fish Market - the fish cutters were excellent. The Fishermans pub in Speightstown was good for a cold drink. We also used Cafe Carizma in the Chattel Village and the Mews on 2nd street as well as Surfside on the beach - great for the sunsets.
All in all it was an excellent holiday and great apartment - so we were well chilled by the end of it.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was well set up for a wonderful vacation. The bedroom had a comfy bed and great airflow so even though there was air conditioning if we wanted we never needed it. The kitchen was well equipped with all we needed. The condo is on the main floor and very conveniently situated to beautiful pool and grounds. There is lots of room for everyone on the pool deck. The pool was always inviting for a quick dip or for swimming laps as it is well over a 100 feet long. The host was very attentive and called to see that we settled in. There is maid service once a week and Pamela spoiled us. There was a small issue with the bathroom and Pamela had it sorted out quickly. There are staff available 24/7 and we were very happy to drop off our keys at the front desk when we went out. We felt the area was very safe.
The condo is only a few moments walk to the center of Holetown complete with a beautiful shopping area, restaurants, night life, easy access to bus service and .....those beautiful beaches!!!! The water is wonderful. We loved it all.
A big thank you to our hosts for sharing their home with us.
Great location, walking distance to restaurants and groceries, and the choice of 2 pools was an added benefit. Could not have made a better choice. Thank you Karen
We have just returned from our stay at Chris and Karen's apartment at Golden View and had a great holiday. Golden View is set about a 10min walk back from the central seafront at Holetown. Which for us was ideal as it is away from the busy coastal road. Beaches are good all along this part of the coast. The apartments are privately owned and so the site in generally kept in very good condition. The gardens are lovely and very quiet and peaceful. The pool is great for a cooling dip. The on site restaurant is a Chinese which you can dine in or get a takeaway. They also do a poolside bar service. We tried it once and the food was OK. The apartment itself is very clean and tidy and well stocked with everything you might need from a holiday rental. Being a ground floor unit and just across the grass to the pool was great. Chris and Karen were very helpful with the booking process and quickly responded to any questions we had. Overall a great apartment in a great location. We would definitely go back again. Thank you so much Chris and Karen.
As we have stayed in Golden View, but not this apartment, we knew the system. However if we had been new guests, we would have been at a loss as we had no contact with a property manager. There is plenty of written instructions but naturally certain things are better explained face to face, i.e. TV, air conditioning, security etc.
The apartment has been renovated to a high standard. The kitchen/sitting room is beautiful. The patio is like an extra room with the dining room table . All the crockery etc is to a very high standard and plenty of it. Thank you, a delightful holiday.
Thank you Karen for allowing us to spend time inyour lovely home. A true home from home. Anything you need just look in one-off of the many cupboards and you find what you are looking for. Hope we get the chance to stay with you soon
Thank you again

The whole process of renting this apartment was very easy even when we had some personal problems which meant we had to move our travel dates, Karen was very accommodating in making sure we were happy with the changes. When we arrived at the apartment it was immaculate! It had everything needed to make our stay a home from home experience. We would not hesitate in recommending this apartment and if we had to score it out of 10 we would give it a 10!
The property is absolutely wonderful. It is just as described in the listing, but far bigger than expected and better equipped than most properties we have stayed in.
The location couldn’t be better, just a short stroll to the beach and all amenities, bars, restaurants, shops etc. The apartment has one of the best locations on the complex, a step into the beautifully maintained gardens and only yards from the pool side. The spacious terrace gets the afternoon sun and pool side you can sit in the sun all day long.
We particularly loved the evenings, sitting on the terrace gazing across the pool and people watching in the restaurant opposite the apartment. But don’t worry the restaurant is very quiet with no loud music to disturb the blissful Barbados evenings.
We couldn’t fault the communication with Karen; it was first class from start to finish. Our only recommendation would be to put the name on the Condominium on the listing as Golden View isn’t mentioned and it may confuse some people when trying to find the property.
All in all it was a fantastic holiday in a first class property which is a credit to the owners. We definitely aim to return and just hope that the apartment is free.

About the host
Hosted by Christopher Griffith and Karen Prinz Griffith
We are a couple both working in the hospitality industry so we strive to give our guests the same experience we would expect on vacation. Karen, was born in Canada while Chris was born in Barbados. We currently reside in Canada but spend time at our home in Barbados whenever we can.
Why they chose this property
This is our home and we absolutely love it! Chris grew up in Barbados and Karen has traveled there with her parents since she was a small child. Some of my, karen's, fondest childhood memories are of playing on the beach just at the bottom of our street, with my cousins, watching as one or all of us tried to get up on water skis, not always very successfully and later racing one another on jet skis. We are all a little older now but it is still always great when we can experience Barbados and ALL that it offers!
What makes this property unique
The proximity of the condo to the Sunset Crest Beach Club and the lovely events it holds throughout the season offers an opportunity to participate in the community and its residents and have some fun at the same time. Situated on the beautiful west coast, where one can enjoy the best sunset views on the island, there are many restaurants and bars to do just that! But if you prefer a more private, quiet place to enjoy on your own or with your loved one that too is available in abundance. The sea from the west coast is also the most amazing, gorgeous water to swim in and to explore at your leisure. There are so many beaches to choose from, whether you want to hang out or snorkel or walk or just swim the choices are many!! The shopping in our neighbourhood is unparalleled on the island. A short walking distance away is the Limegrove shopping center, it boasts some amazing high end shops as well as the Lime Bar at its center which hosts nights of music and fun. Limegrove holds the only movie theater on the west coast. On the rooftop of the complex is a restaurant with a fantastic menu and great ambience! There are also many Chattel house boutiques in the area, showcasing the designs of local and imported talent. All of this is within walking distance of the condo.
