Need a car
Lovely location but no to few nearby facilities such as shops or restaurant's etc. If you stay at this wonderful apartment you definitely need either to be very fit or more definitely rent a car. Nearest public transport 5/600 yards away and if you are cold like myself and friend , in 70 age group, and unable to walk half a mile to bus stop then you really are out in the sticks. Having said that the two bed flat was good; the host and owner is excellent; and finally the weather is brilliant. Would definitely stay again but would have to price i car hire for two weeks !! Probably my mistake BUT could have mentioned this on rental information as possibly not suitable for two old cripples like me and my friend who stayed; old with mobility issues. Overall though: good owner, well kept apartments, clean tidy and all necessities within the apartment. Can't fault any of that. Harry Edwin 73 year old Definitely go again if had transport

Lovely apartment
The apartment was spacious, clean and tidy with the added bonus of a dip pool on the roof terrace. It was a bit out of the way so would recommend a car as there are limited local facilities although chicken Rita’s was just across the road where you can grab a beer and a chicken meal for variety you will need to venture further afield. Miami/ Enterprise Beach was our go to beach for R&R and was a good 35 min walk away but worth the walk when you get there. As we were there for the cricket Eng v W. indies it was the perfect/quiet place to rest our heads after a day in the Kensington Oval as it is quite some way from the hustle and bustle of Bridgetown.

A mixture of everything.
This property, booked at short notice to attend a funeral, was presented as described. So pleased the apartment was on the first floor of a small block. The sea view is fantastic and the waves can be heard in this relatively quiet location. A bit of competition with the cocks crowing and the sheep baaring in the morning. It all added to the caribbean culture of the location. My husband and I are not new to the island therefore we can compare with other locations and this one is up there. A car is highly recommended particularly as we did not see one bus on the nearby road that had bus stops. Chicken Rita virtually opposite adds to the community spirit. The diverse customers from across the island means socialising can be effortless on some evenings. Exactly what we needed on this unplanned trip. Sitting on the balcony with that lovely sea breeze that blows through the apartment was sufficient for us to relax. We were greeted and shown around the apartment on arrival. The complimentary refreshments were well received after a long haul flight adding to the hot meal available from Chicken Rita who also prepares fish. We found this apartment to be good value for money. 2 bedrooms for the price of some 1 bedrooms that were advertised. We had plenty of space to spread out our belongings and to get dressed which is what you need in the heat. There are a couple of things Pat could add to the apartment which I will send to her seperately. They do not impact on the 5 star rating awarded. The views from the plunge pool area on the roof is amazing. If we had time the lounge beds that were provided would have been used. Thank you very much. We were on the island for a sad occassion cushioned by this 'just what we needed' apartment.

Stayed in Coral Haven for 12 nights and we were very comfortable in the well equipped apartment. Clean, spacious and excellent views from front and back. Felt very safe there. A car an advantage. Marcia was very helpful on arrival and departure and Pat very quick to respond to any e-mails.

Comfortable, well-appointed and spacious
Located in a largely residential area, our immediate impression was that we might be a bit isolated. However, the regular mini-buses that run into Oistins and beyond appear every 10 minutes or so, are great fun to ride and the bus stop is only 5 mins walk. Dined across the road from the apartment at Chicken Rita's once but preferred Surfer's Bay beach restaurant, about 10 mins walk across an open pasture. Like much of the Caribbean, our nearest beaches were unfortunately inundated with Sargassum seaweed whilst we were there, so we didn't see them at their best - efforts are being made to clear the seaweed. Got the minibus along to Rockley instead, where it was pristine. The apartment itself is a very good size, with two well-furnished bedrooms and comfortable double beds. The view out to sea from the front bedroom is particularly memorable. The kitchen area had everything we needed and the laundry room is also useful. When the weather did get a bit hot for us, the roof terrace always provided a pleasant breeze and the plunge pool was refreshing and clean. Marcia was very helpful - but not intrusive - and very friendly. She was able to guide our taxi driver to the apartment, gave us a comprehensive introduction tp our accommodation, and arranged our taxi when it was time to leave. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable stay and I wholeheartedly recommend this apartment.

Nice place, great neighborhood
Coral Haven is a very nice place to spend a month. This unit is a bright and breezy 2 bedroom apt. We barely used the overhead fans and did not miss air conditioning. The kitchen is just fine for a self catering holiday, with most of the necessary tools and appliances. Breakfast on the balcony every morning was outstanding. The ability to wash clothes at the apt really helps. We rented a car, but the bus stop is about a 4 minute walk and will take you almost anywhere you need to go. Do say hello to the people walking by and hopefully you will meet "Tony the fruit man", and let him talk you into some fresh mangos! All in all, Coral haven was a very good base for a very nice holiday.

Coral haven
We were met at the airport by a very nice taxi driver named Joseph who took us to the apartment, Marcia was there wating for us she was very nice and took her time to explain everything to us. in the apartment There is everything you would need eg: kettle microwave haire dryer, washing maching. The view from the balcony is to die for. When you first arrive and your hungry you have Chicken Rita opposite (yummy) she also has fish. There are frequent buses into Oisten and to all the beaches. Oisten on a Friday and Saturday night is a must if you like fish, they also cater for veggies.the two weeks went realy quick but I will defiantly return. To the person that gave a one star must be a very bitter individual you mentioned cockroches this is the West Indies get over it.

Beautiful Homely Apartment!
My friend and I stayed at Coral Haven before 2 years ago. It was lovely returning back there. We love the surroundings of Coral Haven and it is about an 8 min drive by car to Miami beach. Marcia is on hand should you need anything and prior to our arrival she was very responsive to organizing a hired car for us. The apartment is a great size and the bedrooms are just perfect size. I was surprised at the time of year by the amount of breeze we had in the morning and evening. We enjoy sitting on the balcony in the morning and enjoying the morning breeze. We are just opposite Chicken Rita very popular lady and friendly also. The reason I did not give this apartment the full 5 star is because it misses AC. We did a lot of cooking in the apartment so we found it extremely hot in the evening. I personally found it a lot cooler in the bedrooms than on our previous visit in November, there is a beautiful night time breeze. Marcia leaves some refreshments in the fridge for arrival which is great and also some seasonings in the cupboard. The apartment is very well maintained and so clean I cannot fault Marcia on how well she looks after this apartment. We just love Coral Haven the locals are what makes it extra special they remembered us from our last visit and not one person walks past that apartment without saying Good Morning/Night. I have to stress that this apartment also comes with a rooftop pool perfect after a hectic day at the beach, cool down on the rooftop with another cocktail to finish of the day. If you like the combination of the breeze and the hot sun then the rooftop is a perfect place to spend the day if you feel like staying in. I have to finish on one more note....Pat by far as been the most caring and adaptable person to our needs since finding her apartment on this site, I love speaking to her and I just love Coral Haven. I would love to buy an apartment just like this one!! Huge thank you to Pat & Marcia sending you both big hugs!!!xxxxx

A great experience
My wife and I stayed at Coral Haven, Barbados from March 21 to April 20th, 2017 to escape part of our winter here in New Brunswick. We had to change plans we had originally made for that time, so we contacted Pat through Home Away in late February. We got a very quick reply to our inquiries and so we after consideration we made the booking. This was our first time to visit Barbados. Upon arrival we found the apartment at Coral Haven exactly as it had been advertised. We had made arrangements with Pat to be picked up at the airport by local taxi driver (Joseph) and we were met at the apartment by Marcia. Marcia showed us through the apartment and a general idea of the locale and answered any questions we had. The apartment was very clean. It was equipped with all the conveniences which enabled us a comfortable stay. If we found we required anything Marcia was just a phone call away. We really enjoyed the area. The first full day we were there we tried walking to Oistins as several people had mentioned in their reviews. We found it too hot for us and were a bit discouraged. The next day we figured out the bus service and after that had no trouble getting around. We did go to the little beach down over the hill a number of times but mostly enjoyed one of the many beaches which are just a short bus ride away. We often took the lawn chairs up to the roof and read. We also enjoyed cooling down in the small pools (about the size of a Hot Tub). The area was very quiet. For most of the time we were there only two other apartments in the building were occupied. We enjoyed watching the hens and roosters which roamed the streets as well as the number of goats which were put out every morning and taken back in the evening. It was a real treat to sit on the deck and get a glimpse of the monkeys which would show up every now and again. Then of course there is Chicken Rita’s which is across the street which became an instant habit – excellent Chicken and Fries. You may have to wait – but it is well worth it. Our son joined us for most of a week and while he was there we arranged through Marcia to have Joseph take us on a tour of the Island. We stopped at the Wild Life Park which I would not recommend, then went on to Bathsheba which was beautiful. Coral Haven was a great place to stay and really made our first trip to Barbados a great experience. Ron and Margie Heans

Very nice apartment! Quiet neighborhood.
The apartment was very nice. It is located not far from the busy Oistins market, and different stores and restaurants. In addition, there are several beaches around, you choose whether you like waives or calm water. At first, we used public transportation to get to different places (there were vans or buses available), but if we were to get somewhere else other than the main strip, we would have had to figure out other routes, which was hard to do. Vans or buses are assigned to specific routes and can't deviate from their routes unlike taxes. This was inconvenient especially at night when we would have had to walk from the bus stop to the apartment in the dark. Since we wanted to explore the island, and be more flexible, we rented a car. That made our stay more flexible and we spent less time on getting to places instead of exploring more places. As for the apartment, it was very clean and had everything we needed. Marcia met us upon arrival and was very helpful. We enjoyed Barbados and will come back!

Great location, spacious, clean, secure and good value.
We found Coral Haven to have a great view of the Caribbean Sea, with a nice secluded surfers beach within a five minute walk and Surfers Bay beach bar a few minutes further. Chicken Rita's was right across the street, definitely get the chicken as it had great flavor and cooked perfectly. Enterprise (Miami) beach was a few minutes drive away and was one of our favorite beaches. Oistens was a few minutes further and had good local food at the fish market. Friday night is a must for the market as all of the restaurants were open, music was scattered around the different venues and there were tons of people. The apartment itself was spacious and had most things in the kitchen that were needed to be able to cook meals. The living room was comfortable and with the windows open and fans on there was always air going through the rooms. We were on the second floor and enjoyed the balcony. The wifi worked great and there was a small folding table available to set up as a desk. The bathroom shower was very large with plenty of hot water with great pressure. One thing the bathroom lacked was any shelf space to put things on so we had to keep the toiletries in the bedrooms. The beds in both of the rooms were both full-size, so there was not a lot of room for two people. A queen size bed in one of the rooms would have been great. The toaster in the kitchen would not stay down to toast, but the oven broiler worked just fine. We would recommend this location and would stay here again on future visits.

The appearance of the property looked very nice, very close to the locals
On our arrival,Marcia met us at the apartment Marcia was very friendly and showed us around the apartment.The appartment was clean and tidy the only thing that we did not have was A/C as the bedrooms and livingrooms did get a bit warm but the fans did a fair job.The pool on the roof was not to bad was nice just to sit up there with a nice cold beer.I did like the area that we stayed in as we was across the road from chicken Rita which did some nice food. The bus stop in to Bridgetown was a nice walk up the road we spotted a few chicken's and goats on the way which was brilliant. All in all we had a brilliant time and will return very soon.

beautiful ocean getaway
We had a fantastic time staying at coral haven. The apartment had everything you need for your stay. The plunge pool on the roof was a bonus. The area is very nice with chickens and black sheep. The roosters are noisy but in a good way,as well as hearing the ocean from your bed. Washing dries amazing and so good to have a decent washing machines and iron. Area is very popular with chicken Rita across the road, my husband loved it. Beautiful stay.

VERY NICE CONDO
Upon our arrival, Marcia greeted us warmly. We then had dinner across the street at a local restaurant 'Chicken Rita's'. Great food and great people, very lively all week nights as it was during Christmas Holidays. It is not easy to explain where Coral Heaven is located when you are not from the area but everyone seems to know Chicken Rita's and this is how our shuttle for the Catamaran tour found us. The appartment was super, just what we needed. No AC but deemed not required at that time of the year and there was a nice breeze allowing us to leave the windows wide open. The first morning, we got waken up very early by the rooster. We finaly decided to close the bedroom windows and used the ceiling and floor fans instead. WI-FI was working perfectly. The kitchen is equipped with all the basics you need to cook a good meal. Knives would need to be sharpened a little though or new ones maybe. We really liked making morning milkshakes in the blender provided. During the day, we enjoyed walking around the quiet area in the streets surrounding Coral Heaven. We also walked to the Surfer's Point nearby and enjoyed watching the Kite surfers. Weather was great, the sea was warm. At the end of the afternoons, we enjoyed the roof garden at the appartment where we could overlook the wonderful view. The pools (a little bigger than a Jaccuzi) were great for cooling down and very clean. At night, we enjoyed having dinner on the appartment balcony! During our stay, we walked a lot along the coast on the scenic route, we also used the local transportation (White Vans for 2 barbados dollar/person) to go to the beach, to Oistins, Bridgetown etc. Very cheap transport and you don't have to wait long to see one coming. For new year's eve, we had dinner at the beach bar which was a 15 minutes walking distance from the appartment and we really enjoyed our night. Everyone on the island is very friendly, that is nice. We enjoyed our holiday and staying at Coral Heaven and recommend it. Thank you Pat and also Marcia for arranging taxi pick up from and to the airport.

Perfect size villa
Audrey and I arrived at Coral Haven on the 12/11/15, a lovely apartment with everything that we needed accept AC which we was aware of at time of booking. Unfortunately, we did not get much breeze in the evening so it made it somewhat uncomfortable. The only thing missing is AC and the apartment would be perfect. The location was slightly hard for some taxi's to find, so you would definitely need to hire a car. Everyone in the area amazingly friendly and we had Chicken Rita's opposite our apartment. The Daughter who now runs Chicken Rita was very pleasant to us and her children also. We had eaten from there a couple of times which was extremely handy having her across the way from us. Our holiday was just amazing the apartment was very clean and even had some little extras in the cupboards for us upon arrival. Marcia looks after the property and she was amazing, she can if you want her to arrange car hire, but we wanted a day trip out and when we contacted her she organised it instantly and arranged for pick up from the apartment which was perfect. Apart from the humidity of the apartment we had no worries but if we did I am certain Marcia would have been on hand to deal with instantly. With that said, the apartment has a small tub on the roof which is ideal for cooling down and we were lucky it was quiet so just us up there and the water is cold which sometimes finished off our evening nicely. We were extremely sad to have left.

1 star is even too much!
the thing is that I paid for a service that is currently not available since I came in on the 17th of July 2015. Mrs Christopher and her friend Marcia keep on saying that this is just a problem of the lines company on the island but still its not my problem because despite of what they said to me that the wifi is just a complementary service ( LIE, because in the daily rate I am sure that a little part of this is included since they pay a bill for it ). A good manager should have done what I have done that was go in town and buy a router for 200 Barbados and then top it up for another 50 Barbados dollars. Not trying to find excuses and blaming this or that company. Everyone else is getting wifi in this condo so its not a problem of the line as you can see I'm just a problem of the Router since a technician came here on Saturday telling me this... He was telling me that this device is old and burned, and that it needs to be upgraded ,and he would've brought me another one but still he needed the authorization from the owner which never came. They left here are ridiculous mobile phone with to Barbados dollar top up that is completely useless and I feel completely teased since I come from overseas and the landline is not even working. I cannot by any calling card to use to call back home to my family, because this landline is not working. This apartment is also ridiculous and filthy because the first day we came in the bathroom was full of sand as much as the carpet in the living room.. A beautiful cockroach was waiting for us in the kitchen and after spraying him he died behind the couch and about this I have some pictures that I would like to show you on another email address if it's possible because I really would like you to see what I'm talking about. When we came next to the rubbish and the under the purple carpet, was full of maggots, and about this I have some pictures. Kitchen utensils are poor and rusty and absolutely inadequate. The washing machine smells like mushrooms and mold. Moreover I was sitting on one of the bar stools and the chair back away, came off and i fell on the floor!!!! The broom is rusty and old, and while my fiance was sweeping the handle came off cutting her. All of this things are the denoting a bad carelessness superficiality and banal indifference about cleaning an apartment.The only thing that this condo manager Marcia was able to say to me, was just that I can pick up wifi somewhere around the island...WHAT?!?embarassing

Fantastic condo
We have just returned from our stay at Coral Haven and can't wait to return. We are regular visitors to the Island and usually stay closer to Maxwell/Hastings however this location is beautiful - fantastic sea views to the front and a herd of goats and chickens to the rear which kept us entertained. The condo is modern, clean and very comfortable, large airy spaces which are kept cool with the sea breeze - no need for air con. Bedrooms are comfortable and well equipped with plenty of towels and bed linen. Kitchen is well equipped, cooker, fridge/freezer and microwave - we dined in a couple of times and my only criticism would have been to have some more kitchen utensils (scissors and can opener were broken) but we managed perfectly well and Pat has thought of everything guests would need. There is a utility room with washing machine, iron etc. so no need to go home with dirty laundry! Wi-Fi had just been installed and this was really useful. The roof top terrace is very private and the plunge pool is just what you need to cool down - we spent a couple of afternoons on the roof top using the sun loungers - so peaceful and private. Coral Haven is close to Miami Beach - 5 mins in the car and about 10/15 mins from Oistins - public transport in the area is limited so a car is a necessity. Chicken Rita's is just across the road, very easy choice for some good chicken. Generally the area is very quiet and peaceful although Chicken Rita's can get lively especially at the weekend. Café Luna is close to Miami Beach and we'd recommend this terrace restaurant for superb food and romantic setting. The booking process was very easy and straight forward - Pat is so organised, friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble and this helpfulness extended to Marcia who met us at Coral Haven and showed us around. Both ladies made the whole experience very smooth and enjoyable. Overall, we had a great holiday and would strongly recommend Coral Haven for a self catering holiday, we'll definitely be making a return visit. Thank you Pat and Marcia for a fabulous stay.

Host profile image
Coral Haven is where I enjoy spending time away from the dark and cold days of winter in the UK.

Why they chose this property

Coral Haven is close enough to everything on the south coast but situated away from the noise and the hustle n bustle that can impede the relaxed vacation atmosphere.
You can relax and enjoy the sun on the private roof deck that overlooks the sea, as CH is on an elevated ridge, after your stroll to the nearby beach.

What makes this property unique

By day the spacious and cooling roof terrace gives panoramic ocean views of the south coast and at night the lights and stars above are absolutely amazing. When there's a full moon that view is gloriously picturesque.
Relaxing in the pool with a rum punch is the ideal way to 'chill' at the end of the day. Up there you can also enjoy the view of the planes coasting along with arriving holidaymakers before landing in the distance but with none of the noise from their engines!
