Nice Chilled Stay
We had a lovely relaxing stay. The property was nice, spacious and comfortable. It was well maintained and larger than the pictures suggest. The top balcony was great for relaxing with a drink and a book.We had a hire car for our stay and the access was easy but secure - parking was never a problem.

Relaxing February Break
Mahogany Pod was a home run with our family of two adults and two teens, ranking as one of our very favorite holiday rentals. The property is spotless, nicely equipped, and has a superb layout for privacy and relaxation. Its central location on the coast made exploring Barbados or just dashing to the grocery store for a forgotten item a breeze. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful morning views with our coffee on the deck, the easy access to swimming and fun snorkeling, and the peacefulness of reading in the garden. Communication with Emma and her team was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated the thoughtful selection of starter groceries and delicious banana bread after a long day’s travel. Many thanks to you all for a wonderful stay.

Beach Paradise
My wife and I are just back from at week at Mahogany Pod. It sits directly on Paynes Bay with steps down to a beautiful beach. The house is immaculate and beautifully furnished. It has every amenity you could wish for. We had a fabulous week there cooking fresh fish on the BBQ from the local fish market (150 yds along the beach and ate at some of our favourite restaurants all a very short distance away. Emma the owner and the local management team were a joy to deal with and I couldn’t recommend the property high enough.

Lovely time
Our vacation started off poorly with missed connections and arrival delays but we stayed in constant contact with Emma and she ensured that members of our party were greeted when we arrived. The house was beautifully appointed and had everything we required for a lovely stay. Ryan, the house manager was attentive and arrived quickly when we locked ourselves out of the safe in our room. We couldn't have been more pleased with the house and the staff, and Barbados as a whole. Our group plans to return

Excellent Birthday Celebration
My family and I stayed here for my birthday. The host was extremely helpful, even before we arrived. She helped with transportation, that we used the entire week. She set us up with the chef, who was amazing! And she provided recommendations on places to go on the island. The accommodations were just as advertised, and we loved that each bedroom had an en suite and balcony. Everyone was comfortable had their own space. The easy access to the beach was just icing on the cake! Thank you Emma.

Incredible location! Impeccable house!
We loved our stay in this beautiful home! The location is fabulous with direct beach access and close to great restaurants. It has a well-appointed kitchen with 3 ways to make coffee:-) We appreciated the delicious banana bread and other treats. No day was complete without a dip in the plunge pool - very refreshing on a hot day! The bedrooms feature private bathrooms (awesome water pressure!) and balconies where we enjoyed the morning light, hummingbirds and coffee. The sunsets were spectacular! There is a nice yard with a grill and dining table. Also, sun loungers. We appreciated the fantastic list of recommended restaurants and the recommendation to take a catamaran cruise - we went with Silver Moon and it was a fabulous experience! I would be so happy to return to Barbados and this house!

The house is absolutely gorgeous, even better than the photos. It has a calming and relaxing vibe and is tastefully furnished. Plenty of space and equipped with everything you need. We had such a lovely family holiday, our first time to Barbados and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Communication with the owner was great.

Wonderful Stay
Mahogany Pod was perfect for our family! The location is great, with easy access to the bus into Hole Town and a short walk to QP Bistro and The Cliff. The property is clean, private and well stocked with dishes and everything you would need should you want to eat in. Emma was an amazing host, with timely communication and she made our arrival to Mahogany Pod easy, comfortable and welcoming. Tamica was warm and friendly, I will miss her. We were sad to leave this home away from home and can’t wait to return. Thank you Emma!

The perfect home and location for our family vacation. Mahogny Pod has everything you need to enjoy Paradise. The beach is great for snorkeling or lazing in the ocean on a float. The views from the house and the upstairs decks and amazing. The owner was a delightful and full of many suggestions to make our trip fun. Five stars all the way around.

A Little Piece of Paradise
Our stay here was remarkable. Being able to hear and see the ocean was so relaxing. We loved being able to walk right onto the beach, snorkel, go for a swim and come back with a rum punch from the fish market. Great location with easy access to a lot of places. Tamika and Emma were extremely helpful and be sure to say hi to Carl, the gardener. We hope to be back next year!

My friends and I reserved “Mahogany Pod” for our annual Girl’s Trip. Emma’s home was beautiful with all the comforts required for an enjoyable and relaxing vacation. It was very obvious that the owner has taken a great deal of pride in adding special touches in the decor throughout the home. The staple food items and homemade banana bread she provided was a thoughtful special touch. We especially appreciated Emma and the manager’s assistance with airport transfers, a chef and recommending the best masseur on the island. I would certainly recommend Mahogany Pod to anyone visiting Barbados. A. Fleet

Fabulous stay at Mahogany Pod
Superb house, just as stunning as the photos! The accommodation was beautiful, to a very high standard and well maintained. The evening sunsets from the G&T balconies were fabulous! It was great to walk through the garden straight onto the beach - for a walk, swim or to buy fresh fish next door. The team at the house (property manager, house keeper, groundsmen) were really helpful. Thank you to Emma for making our holiday so memorable, her communication was outstanding. We hope to return to Mahogany Pod again soon!
