Seashells in Paradise
Beautiful beachside villa with the perfect layout for families or large groups. Every room had a private balcony that overlooks an awe inspiring view of Payne’s Bay. We literally walked off our back gate into the water and saw a variety of fish, coral, and other sea life while snorkeling. The kitchen was stocked with anything you needed for meal prep and entertaining. The bathrooms were spotless and accommodating for both children and adults. The property was also maintained daily by a friendly and discreet staff. Aside from all the activities and tours we took, our favorite thing to do was sit out on the back deck and enjoy the serenity of ocean waves with the backdrop of a beautiful sunset. The location was also perfect - close enough to Holetown and small restaurants but isolated enough that you didn’t feel crowded. Of all the trips we have taken throughout the Caribbean, our daughters said that this has been their favorite place to stay. I hope we will be able to come back.

Amazing villa on a beautiful island
Highly recommend this villa, the location and views are awesome, the villa was well equipped, Barbados is a very friendly island. The beach directly in front is rocky but just walk left a short distance to get sandy entrance. We would return, the cleaner was sweet and the Gardener was Funny! We even saw 2 monkeys briefly on the property!

Lovely stay in Barbados once again! Nice local people, beautiful beaches ( especially Sandy Lane!) Too much traffic noise and rooster crowing here for us, but the condo was comfortable otherwise. Blessed to be in Barbados again

Delightful
Property was very nice with exceptional views. House was well outfitted for cooking. Service staff (housekeeper, landscaper, and security personnel) were very engaging and supportive. Neighborhood and street were quite busy and noisy on street side of property, but otherwise great location

What a beautiful home. We have relaxed , made sweet memories with dear friends and loved the view and sounds of the ocean. All attending and caring for the house have been so good and kind. Althea was a hit from the first meeting to the end.

WOW! What a wonderful trip this has been! Barbados is beautiful + the people are so friendly. We met people from all over and enjoyed the awesome water and beaches. Thank you Althea for all your suggestions and guidance. You were so kind and helpful to us all. We wish you all the best in your new endeavors after you retire! We do recommend the glass bottom boat excursion with snorkeling + viewing the shipwreck. So Fun! Great Vacation!

What a wonderful vacation !! The house is beautiful & perfectly situated !! We loved watching the sunsets each night. The half day catamaran cruise with snorkeling & lunch was a perfect way to see the beautiful waters of Barbados! The Mt Gay Rum tour did not disappoint. Pam & Althea did an outstanding job with the house + meals and were wonderful to work with with. Barbados will always have a special spot in our hearts !!

We have had a lovely time in such a beautiful house. After our lovely daughters arrived the house did not miss a beat. It became a family home. The children loved the plunge pool. Perfect for confidence building for a 4 year old. Althea is so friendly and accommodating, helping to create and maintain a lovely relaxed approach to life in Seashells. Must mention David too, keeping us safe in his discreet way. Also Carlos the gardener who supplied us with aloe vera.

Our second stay at Seashells in the last 12 months and again, it did not disappoint. Perfect location and 5 star luxury. Once again we were looked after by Althea who made us feel very welcome and the grandchildren loved her. We shall return!!.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Sea Shells over spring break. Julie was a the best hostess we've had anywhere! Anytime we had questions about activities, restaurants, taxis or anything else about the island she had an answer. Ms. Althea made sure the place was spotless every day when we would return from our daily adventures. The beach is literally in your backyard! We enjoyed our daily evening walks along the beach allowing us to see some of the other resorts. Would definitely stay here again!

We have had a lovely relaxing week at Seashells - it is a beautiful, in a lovely location. We've enjoyed the sunset, sea views, snorkeling just outside and seeing amazing fish. We also liked the fish market, just next door! The villa has everything you would need! There is also a lot of great food at your door (we loved the Roti den & the ice cream place). Thank you very much Althea for making everything so comfortable and clean for us and Carlos for the coconut water!

We have had an amazing 10 day stay here at Seashells. We have stayed at quite a few homes in the Caribbean and this one is the top notch! The beach is great and the water, perfect. It is close enough to the stores and supermarkets to be like "home." Everyone has been so friendly and helpful. We hope to be visiting again.

Our first time at Seashell - a beautiful, magical villa with the best sea view in the world, all on an amazing island. We have enjoyed our 10 days in paradise, and this was made even more special with the lovely people who have looked after us. Carlos, the gardener, who kept us supplied with Aloe Vera to cool our sunburn and a happy smile. Josimar who cooked for us on two occasions. Not only a first class cook, but a wonderful young man. We wish him luck for his future. The security men who made us feel safe and secure, but most of all, Althea, truly the best housekeeper around. She kept the villa immaculate but her cheery good morning and her willingness to help was always second to none. We will miss you Seashells, Barbados and your lovely people, but we'll be back!

Fantastic villa and excellent location. We will miss our morning wake up swims and watching the sunsets on the beach with a glass of champagne. The best equipped rental we have experienced, and Althea has been so helpful and kept everything lovely and clean, with fresh towels and linen. Blue Sky organized some paddle boards for us, which really made our holiday. Being able to paddle over to the lovely beaches nearby The Cliff. Would recommend Tides, Lone Star, QP Bistro & Local & Co. Also, the pizza place across the road does a great gluten free pizza. You can get take away coffee & pastries from QP Bistro. Thank you also to Carlos, the gardener for helping me carry my paddle board up the steps! We will be back

A long planned and much needed trip for six friends. We were all so looking forward to this trip and it certainly didn't disappoint. From the villa to the amazing restaurants, boat trip, friendly locals and the reggae bus, we enjoyed every minute of it! Thanks for everything.

Perfect property
Having stayed in hotel accommodation on previous visits to Barbados this property worked perfectly for a family of 4 adults and 2 excited grandchildren. Clean, safe for the children and of a high standard, the house opens up on to the beach. The perfect family vacation property.
