The hosts were very welcoming. William took us to the grocer to buy food. He also drove us around the island on two days to show us the sights. The fact that they have a restaurant on the property at the beach was a plus on nights we didn’t want to go far to eat. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The hosts were more than happy to help in any way. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone who wants a great place to stay right on the beach.

Underwhelming

This is the first time I have had to write a negative review of the property. The host was not accommodating at all. First of all there were extremely steep stairs that were not mentioned and no one to assist us in getting our luggage up the stairs. When we complained she finally got someone to carry our luggage. The rooms were clean but not outstanding. There were two bathrooms but one of the toilets did not work. We would have left if not for the fact we only stayed one night.

Beachfront location, lack of cleanness

Direct beach access is a big plus. Surroundings include heavy traffic main road, a lot of noise from there, not much to do, no walking trails, one or two restaurants. Accommodation requires urgent attention, needs to be up renovated. Place was not clean, the owners must clean up their apartment for future guests.

Couldn’t be closer to the beach! Hosts very helpful and accommodating! Only downside was finding the apartment initially as the sign was missing. The real seller was the included beach beds they set up for us every day.Came home and immediately booked to return next year..

Great location for a family vacation

My family recently spent a night at Madeline’s and William’s place on Payne’s Bay. The location was great, right on one of the best beaches in Barbados. It’s also close to many restaurants and bars and close to Holetown.Madaline as excellent at keeping in touch leading up to our stay and William was equally as good to welcome us and ensure that we settled in well.Having sun loungers ready for us on the beach was lovely touch, so to was the flexibility for checkin and check out. The apartment is basic, however, it has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The view from the balcony out to sea was also lovely. There is a bar and restaurant between the apartment and the beach. Great for drinks and light meals and snacks. Worth noting that the noise level was not too bad, with music played during the day time.Thanks again Madaline and William. Great meeting you!

Quaint property, located in Paynes Bay. There’s a small beach bar and grill located on the property which is perfect to have lunch. Walking distance to a few restaurants and easy to access cabs or public transportation. Owners are quick to respond to requests. Hidden gem!

We stayed for only one day but Madaline made it very special for us. She went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The location of the house is right at the beautiful beach. It is a true homely experience away from home. Would highly recommend this place.

Excellent location on Paynes Bay Beach

It is very nice to be able to walk out the door and be only a few steps to the beach or watch the sunset from the balcony. The apartment is basic in its furnishings, but comfortable. William was helpful in looking after a couple of things and we enjoyed talking with him. The beach restaurant was convenient to have on site, providing various items for our use. Overall, it is not as fancy as other accommodations might be, but is reasonably priced.

Wonderful vacation

We enjoyed our vacation in Barbados. The location is excellent(on the beach), and the hosts, Madaline and William, are great people—ready to help at any given moment. Every morning, we had 2 chairs on the beach awaiting us. There is a small playground for kids—we use it all the time for our granddaughter, 2 years old. The grocery store is near there, and there are lots of restaurants around. Gazebo offers food and drinks if you prefer to avoid cooking. We had a great time there.

Location, location, location

The two bedrooms gave ample space for our family of four and as described by others Madeleine, William and Alison were very helpful & friendly. The air conditioner in the bedrooms worked well. Addressing other reviews, the place could maybe do with a lick of paint and one of the bathrooms had a strong sulphur smell but the location right in the middle of Paynes Bay is excellent. The beach chairs set up on the beach for us every day, just yards from the back door made everything so easy.
