Amazing Little Home
My husband and I visited mid-April, 2010 and absolutely fell in love with Barbados and this cottage. It is perfect! You can hear the ocean all night long; daily coffee on the balcony overlooking the sea; snorkeling right out front; endless walks up or down the beach; bus stop literally around the corner; driveway for parking if bold enough to brave LT-side driving (we're from the States & bold enough!); neighborhood Italian beach bar with daily happy hour run by awesome Italians also running the Il Tiempo restaurant. Very close to Holetown for a nightlife if desired. We drove all over the island and enjoyed every minute of it. We were very happy to always come back to our sanctuary after our day's adventures. A family stayed in the villa while we were in the cottage and that worked out great. We also wish to thank Elaine and Shirley for such great assistance and advice. We hope to see you again. We wish the Caribbean was closer to California though. Michael Rowan was very easy to work with as well in reserving the cottage and was very responsive to pre-trip questions. One recommendation is to have a taxi service number readily available and perhaps a ceiling fan in the sitting room. Screens would be nice too but perhaps that's just not done in Barbados! And, Oistins Fish Fry is really worth it!

The perfect place to stay!
We have just stayed at the beachfront cottage in early January and we have to say: Wow, what a well run nice place! The friendly and always helpful manager Diane and maid Shirley will have lots of useful insider tips and support you in anything you need. Enjoy the evening sundowner on the balcony with a perfect face to face sundown into the Caribbean. Plunge into the pool-warm water literally 5m away from your doorstep and snorkel the coastline corals. Walk for hours and hours on the perfect sandy beaches. The cottage is the perfect neat base and you can also just spend a day or two just in the compound and relax in the cute garden.
Absolutely recommendable!

I recently stayed in this appartment with my wife and children and I have to say it was the best holiday villa I stayed in well worth every penny it has cable tv, air con in all rooms, big garden that leads straight onto the sea with its own private gates that you have control to open and close/lock when ever you want. There's a big tv in the main room and small ones in the other rooms, a balcony that you see right out onto the sandy carribbean sands and the white sandy beach.
The villas also have a cottege avaliable if needed which is very very nice. The apartment comes with its own drive.
There are loads of activities around you including - Jet-skis, Golf, Other Watersports There is a bar right out side the villa on the beach a suppermarket straight across the road, and is about 3 miles from the town which has a massive shopping center. Very friendly cleaner and there is always clean bedding and towels everyday. Washing machine.
All I can say is this villa is amazing well worth thinking about if you plan to visit Barbados.

My wife and I recently spent our honeymoon in this beautiful cottage. It overlooks the ocean and is close to all the necessities, we went to beautiful local restaurants, wonderful bars and hotels for evening entertainment, the cottage is close to a large supermarket very convenient for anything you should need. We had a maid daily who ensured the cottage was kept clean and changed bed linesn/towels daily. There was transport close by that took us all over the island, we had a wonderful honeymoon and higly recomment the cottage. Thank you.

We stayed in this wonderful cottage during the summer 08, the holiday was the best we had ever had, the cottage overlooked the ocean and was beautifully furnished to a very high standard. The maid came daily to clean and do any cooking we required, we had sat t.v, air con and a telephone line. The property is situated on a beautiful clean beach with very friendly helpful local people. There is so much to do, from exciting nighlife to eating in quite restaurants. It is also very close to sandy lane, so we could play a game of gold daily!! We had a wonderful time at the cottage and highly recommend it, thanks for a wonderful break see you again in 2009.
