The full bathroom has a separate vanity with granite counter top, dressing area with mirrors and hairdryer, plus ample storage space and security chest for safe keeping of documents,valuables Condo has its own hot watersystem so there is never a shortage of hot water,(plus water is drinkable right out of the tap, as Barbados has some of the best water in the world!)

The tropical garden providing a luxuriant oasis for relaxation, has wifi plus it has a freshwater pool, freshwater shower and lounge chairs, umbrellas,and is beachside - the sea, just a few steps away. Sunbed mattresses are stored in the condo for extra comfort along with some extra light weight aluminum chairs .The beach is safe for swimming, and there is a manmade reef with a huge variety of marine life very close into the shore - so snorkeling off the beach is easy - water sports available on the beach and it`s an easy few minute stroll to a beach bar -which has a steel band for happy hour on a Sunday, or the shopping centre, from which buses run every few minutes into the city centre or to places of interest. All beaches are public.
There are banks,car hire, taxis, and local inexpensive buses into Bridgetown, and 'tourist attractions' which are used by both visitors and local alike.
Holetown is 28 km from the airport, is home to many fashionable restaurants, and the upscale new Lime Grove mall. Dining and shopping are within easy walking distance, and many watersports are available on the beach at your doorstep. Nextdoor a new
beachbar sometimes plays loud music (beyond the condo's control) and the hotel plays music in the evening until 10.30 pm so one can sit and enjoy that free! There are also a couple of nightclubs and late night bars near by, and a slots bar for those who like to `gamble`a little! , plus a new dine-in cinema! in the Limegrove Lifestyle centre, for evening entertainment.
There are many different types of 'tourist attractions' such as Orchid World, the Flower Forest, Andromeda Gardens, a small rain forest, 'Welchman's Gully', a Wild Life Centre and many historic plantation homes open to the public, Plus the local parish church built in 1629 St. James' bell,, was cast by the same foundry that made the original Liberty Bell!.

Holetown also has numerous bars and restaurants, ranging from fast food to bistros, and gourmet dining, and many restaurants also provide 'take out'. Plus there are street vans and stands around the area, good inexpensive food - (safe to eat)! and water is drinkable out of the tap!
Barbados offers an opportunity to experience a Caribbean lifestyle influenced by its traditional British history.The first settlers arrived in1627, and the island still retains its British Parliamentary system. It has a reliable infrastructure, and offers the comforts and safety of most Western countries.
Since the island is roughly triangular in shape, the 3 coasts offer a totally different ambience. The east coast bordered by the Atlantic ocean, is wild, rugged, beautiful, isolated, and unsuitable for swimming in most areas. The south coast, has heavy surf, and is more industrial, commercial, and has numerous fast food outlets, and local markets. The west coast, known internationally as the Platinum Coast,borders the blue Caribbean Sea, which is normally calm and suitable for all varieties of water sports.
As Barbados lies outside the hurricane belt, usual weather is blue sunny skies and white puffy clouds, normal showers being of short duration. Average daily high 30C. Sea temperature's a constant 80F.
Newly added an "invisible screen" on the balcony, so the sun is never too hot!

Great location
Location is amazing. Beach ocean right in front of you. Great view from balcony. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Restaurants all around of every calibre and price range. Unit itself was clean but the appliances , furniture are old and tired. No air con in the living room just bedroom. If you want to sit in living room at night you have to close up the doors to keep out the biting no see ums and mosquitoes. No amenities provided: toilet paper shampoo or detergent etc. No dryer!! Everything is always a bit damp due to the ocean and humidity. Dish cloths and towels were old as were utensils. Only allotted one towel each . With very little effort this spot could be amazing. Just needs some refreshing. Not what i expected from a vrbo at this price. one towel . Had to

No 1 Palm beach condos
The location is perfect, fabulous views. Pat the property manager is fantastic. For rental purposes the property could benefit with a reduction of kitchen, furniture and personal items of the owners, and bringing up to the standard of the other units in the complex. This would help the house keeping keep on top of cleaningness. A lovely stay though.

Palm Beach Condominium #1
My wife and I had a fantastic stay at condo #1. The beach and ocean are literally 20 feet from your balcony! The condo itself was clean and did the job for the 2 of us. The property manager Pat is very nice and can answer any questions you may have. Everything you need is within walking distance like restaurants and the Massey grocery store. We dont even know if the TV works because you can sit on the balcony and listen to the waves and the music coming from Mango Bay Hotel beside you. The music stops around 10:30 PM and it's just the sound of waves after that! This condo is a gem when you consider the people at Mango Bay are paying double for their oceanfront rooms with a lesser view! I'd highly recommend this condo to family and friends.

Great location and spectacular views but……
This property is in a beautiful location right on the beach with fantastic views… however it is very old, tired, cluttered and needs a thorough decluttering and cleaning. Such a shame to report this but felt for future renters I have to as wouldn’t want them disappointed like we were.

We had a wonderful time at Palm Beach #1, the location is the best, the beach out front is perfect. Everyone was so friendly and the snorkeling right out the front door is awesome!! The condo is small but has all the necessities and the balcony is wonderful. It is truly a great place to call home while enjoying Barbados.

Fantastic!
Just returned from a 1week stay at #1 Palm Beach Condo and had a fabulous time. Booking was a breeze, checking with the Property Manager was fast and simple. Everything was ready for us including a few groceries to get us started along with some snack and beverages. The condo is truly in a perfect location, right at the beach so you are just a few steps away from the sand. On the second floor so you have fantastic views of the beach, ocean and sunsets. It is so close to everything, shops, restaurants & groceries all within walking distance. The people are so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Transportation was great. We used taxis and tried out the Reggae Bus just for fun. Watersports were lots of fun; we had a Jetski ride with Izon and did some snorkelling from the Blue glass bottom boat with Marvin. There is lots of great evening entertainment at the local bars and restaurants, so make sure to ask what nights so you don’t miss all the fun. Fantastic place , fantastic location, fantastic vacation. Will definitely visit again. T&K

A perfect relaxing getaway!
If like us you are looking for the perfect spot to relax and unwind then this is definitely the place to go. In fact, it was probably the most relaxing holiday we have had for a very long time. The apartment has everything you could possibly need, we cooked in the apartment for 4 nights and ate on the balcony taking in the amazing vista and awesome sunsets, we swam 3-4 times a day in the ocean (less than 1 minute walk from the apartment) and the lovely pool which is surrounded by tropical gardens with humming birds and mongooses, very amusing to see Pat's cat Whisky play chasing the mongooses! There are numerous bars and restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk and a great supermarket to buy anything you might need. We left feeling totally chilled and relaxed, what more can you ask from a holiday ! Thank you Dayle, George, Pat, Chris, Ros, Julia and not forgetting Whisky! Show less

Perfection
I have stayed in hotels and apartments all over Barbados and never stayed in the same place twice - but now I’ve found this absolute gem I will never stay anywhere else again. It really is the perfect home from home, in what is possibly the best location in Barbados. A very short walk to shops, bars and restaurants but also tucked away in a quiet corner right on one of the best beaches on the island. There is even a super house reef with resident turtle, stingray and octopus! The sunsets are incredible and can be watched from the balcony (best view), beach or the very peaceful pool in the beautifully maintained gardens. The owners and manager could not have been more friendly and helpful, and we are already planning when to return next year.

A great service from the owners from initial enquiry to the end of the holiday. The local support team for the Condo are not intrusive but are at hand if required. The location is superb and we spent many hours enjoying the view from the balcony... Many great restaurants within minutes walk.

Perfect beach front setting with a stunning views
This was a return visit to Palm Beach but our first stay in #1 right on the beach front. The Condos are perfectly positioned to enjoy the beautiful beach,lovely quiet pool and all Holetown has to offer. The small reef has created a perfect swimming area and protects the beach with its lovely sandy bays and boardwalks to explore. The owners are proud to share their "Winter home" and have provided everything necessary for a perfect stay. Communication was prompt and a pleasure with warm welcomes from Pat and the team as always. Thank you Pat for all the "extras"it was great to be back! Thank you Dayle and George for the pleasure of using you home !

#1 is a terrific condo with a spectacular view!!
We have just returned from an unforgettable stay at #1 Palm Beach Condominiums! #1 is a clean and comfortable apartment situated just steps from the beach and a few minutes walk, from the best restaurants and shops in Holetown! The apartment was extremely well kept and had all the towels, linens and appliances to suit our needs. What really stood out to us was the unbeatable views from the balcony!! #1 is the closest unit to the beach which made for breathtaking and unobstructed views of the water and sunsets. Not only was the location perfect but so were the people. Pat, the property manager was extremely helpful and Dayle, the owner was always reachable and very attentive to our needs! The locals were very friendly and the activities offered just outside the property were well worth it. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to others. You definitely cannot beat the view, the location and the wonderful hospitality!!

Beautiful beach side Condo in Holetown
We have stayed in Condo #1 Palm Beach, Holetown many times and love it. It is situated right beside the beach and has a balcony with wonderful views of the beach and sea. It is situated in beautiful tropical gardens with a private pool. The condo has a large sitting room/dining room,a very well equipped kitchen, bedroom and bathroom/shower room. There are many fans throughout the apartment and air conditioning in the bedroom so it is always cool. There are many bars, restaurants and shops nearby. There is maid service, the gardener who takes very good care of the garden and the Manageress lives on site and so is always available for any advice. We have been staying here for over 20 years and love it.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION
We stayed in #1 Condo wanting 17 nights of total relaxation and we got it. This Holetown condo has the best location and view, straight out onto the beach front...and you are into the clear warm sea within seconds of leaving the condo. The apartment is comfortable and has everything you need to enjoy a self catering holiday. There is a lovely private garden and pool just to the side of the condos. A slight disappointment was that quite a lot of the local bars and restaurants were closed whilst we were there, refurbishing or staff taking a break in anticipation of the start of high season. It is so easy to get a bus to nearby resorts and the locals are friendly and helpful. There is a supermarket just over the road and a cheaper larger one in the town of Fitts, a short bus ride away. The weather was fantastic and the nearby beach and warm sea made this one of our best holidays ever. Thank you Dayle and George ....

Fantastic location in Holetown
My husband and I stayed for 2 weeks in this beachfront condo in June. The condo is well equipped for a self catering holiday. It is a comfortable and clean apartment that has an amazing view from the balcony, right across the beautiful beachfront in Holetown, exactly as pictured. You can walk to the supermarket and restaurants and the Lime Grove mall in 5 mins or less depending on how fast you walk. The bus stop is also a few mins. walk if you want to go to Oistins or Bridgetown, which we did many times. You can also stroll along the beachfront right outside the back door, in both directions, it is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely like to come back another time during the busy period as it was very quiet in June, not many people around at all. The sea was crystal clear and the weather was hot. I would definitely recommend this area and this apartment for its superb location for a lovely beach holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Dayle Rasmussen

Host profile image
We were a retired couple who spent our winters here for the past 30 years, I live the rest of the year in Canada now. I love Barbados, the friendly people, the great climate, ('hurricanes hardly happen' - last one was more than 50 years ago) - the ease of living here. Everything I need is close by, including grocery shopping, etc. Restaurants are close by when ever I wish to eat out,and some have delivery and take out - a life style without troubles!

Why they chose this property

Purchasing this condo was a 'love at first sight' property - fabulous panoramic view, easy walkable proximity to shops, restaurants, beach, on our doorstep, garden,pool- good security, good island infrastructure, and drinkable water out of the tap!! stable economy and reliable banking, friendly people, -a unique, once in a lifetime opportunity! We'd been staying in hotels on the island since 1975, and came to realize that there was no other place on earth which offered all that Barbados could provide. It seemed beyond crazy to ignore the once in a once in a lifetime opportunity that came along when we found our condo winter home. We realized that if we didn't purchase it there and then, we would regret it for the rest of our lives! So I've lived there happily ever since and only return to Canada when the weather warms up!

What makes this property unique

The Best Panoramic View on the west coast !! Easy access (4 min. walk)to stores, bars, restaurants, banks, , etc.- NOT on the main road so NO constant traffic noise -(there is a hotel next door which plays music between 8.00pm- 10-.30pm )
Instant access to the beach - which is only 10 feet away,
I walk 2 miles on the beach every morning! - garden with pool plus sun and shade with trees,flowers, umbrellas, garden furniture. - Safety. features galore !- Easy access (4 min. walk) bank, to bus into city, or taxis, or car hire. Supermarket will even deliver groceries.
