Description from owner

Description

The rental property is a cozy, comfortable, clean unit within a 5 to 7 minute walk to the entrance to the public beach and is one block from the main beach road (with regular bus service to and from Bridgetown). Sandy Lane beach (one of the best beaches in the west coast of Barbados) is a 10 minute walk south from the condo. Holetown (the 2nd largest town in Barbados with an excellent beach) is a 10 minute walk north from the condo with local services available like supermarkets, restaurants, health clinics and the very chic Limegrove Shopping Centre with great upscale shops (Louis Vutton, etc.), a new cinema, restaurants, etc.

The condo has one bedroom with a queen size bed and air-conditioning (bedroom only!). The unit has full fiber-optic internet service available for guests' use. There is also a washing machine in the unit for guests' exclusive use that is a feature rarely found in similar units such as ours in the area. The kitchen has a fridge, stove, microwave, etc. and is fully equipped. The sitting\dining room has a couch (that converts into a small additional double bed), two separate lounging arm chairs, a ceiling fan, cable TV , DVD player and a CD-AM\FM radio unit. There is also a small breakfast\dining table with four chairs next to the kitchen. There are ceiling fans in all rooms (including the outdoor patio). The en-suite washroom has a shower only (no bathtub). The front enclosed patio has a table and chairs for lounging. A BBQ grill (charcoal) is available for use that can be rolled out to the front lawn for those who like to BBQ their fish or meats. There is also a private parking spot in front of condo (for a rental car, guest parking, etc.).

A pay-as-you go local cell phone is provided to guests for their use during their stay that will enable guests to make local and oversea calls (without incurring roaming charges) and also to receive calls from family and friends from abroad.

Guests are also provided with complimentary access to the Sunset Crest Property Owners (SCPO) swimming pool at the Beach Club (with direct access to the beach) that is a 7 minute walk from the condo. An electronic access card is provided to guests to be used to access the pool and its facilities. Free internet (WiFi) is also available by the poolside (password provided after a booking is made).

The condo is immediately next door to Sunset Mall that has a local bank, a large duty free store (previously called Cave Sheppard), photo shop (with Internet service) and other smaller shops. There is also a mini-mall across the street that has an excellent Bistro (8.11 Bistro that offers full meals) and a great coffee shop called Italia Coffee shop (with free internet) as well two beauty salon shops, laundry services and a vape shop. In addition, there is a local food van that sells lunch from Monday to Friday with local Barbados (Bajan) food such as chicken, pork, fish, etc., parks immediately across the street from the condo and has very reasonable prices that is a nice option from the more expensive restaurants in the area.

The condo's location immediately near the beach, shopping, restaurants, 24 hr. medical clinic and Holetown ensure that guests do not have to rent a car while in Barbados if they do not want to do so since everything is essentially within a 10-15 minute walk from the condo. There is a large high-end shopping mall with restaurants, a movie theatre and a bar (Limegrove) that is a 15 minute walk north from the condo. Immediately across the street from Limegrove mall you will also find Holetown's1st and 2nd Streets with restaurants and bar/clubs for your evening entertainment.

Green monkeys may also be seen in the neighborhood, particularly early in the mornings near the All Seasons Resort (2 block walk from the condo). They usually feed by the ravine area (ask the locals where to spot them!).

There is also a lovely Boardwalk (completed in Dec 2013) by the seaside that runs from our local beach in a northerly direction towards Holetown and beyond and is home to additional beaches and beach-side bars and restaurants (approximately 1 km. to Holetown). This Boardwalk has also been extended beyond Holetown and now provides for a fabulous walk (45 min to 1 hour) all the way northwards towards Speightstown to Alleyne's Bay and is a fantastic addition of things to do in our local area.

“Ideal Holetown apartment”

Reviewed 1 Feb 2022

As regular visitors to Sunset Crest, we were glad to be back, this time at Rob and Fay's place. The property, though simple and basic, is clean and tidy, as well as being good value for money. It is centrally located, ideal for beach, pool and shops, right at the centre of things and the area is full of life. All the facilities provided were fine (we didn't use the washing machine) and we cooked most nights, the A/C, fridge and hot water worked well, cleaning materials and other supplies were also provided. We always use this area, as we value the access to Beach House and its fac

Response from the owner Dear Sherry, We are extremely happy that you enjoyed your stay at our condo and that you found it to have "all the comforts of home". That is exactly what we have been trying to offer our guests! As you mentioned, the unit is a self-catering unit (as opposed to a B&B) so guests would be responsible for getting their own groceries but we do try to provide everything else. You stayed at our condo in the end of May so the area is somewhat quieter at that time of the year but it is very safe (compared to other areas) and being directly across the street from a coffee shop, a mini-mall and a larger mall on the opposite side of the street, there is enough traffic to give our guests a sense of security that is not available in other nearby areas that are more isolated. Thank you for choosing our condo for your stay and we look forward to a future time when we may be able to host you once again! Wish you all the best! Robert and Fay

Response from the owner Hi again Alison and Brian, It was a pleasure to have you return to our condo and we couldn't be happier that you appreciated the many changes that we have made over the last 6 months or so. We are still awaiting the installation of the internet service at the condo and, unfortunately, things do take longer to get accomplished in Barbados so the service is not quite setup yet. We will update our ad at the website when the in-condo internet service is finally installed but, in the meantime, the internet service from the coffee shop across the street is still up and running smoothly so, in any event, guests will continue to have internet service available to them when they stay at our condo. Thanks once again and we look forward to the opportunity to be able to host you once again when you next decide to visit Barbados! All the best to you both!

Response from the owner Thank you very much for your review that effectively highlights all of the features (comfort, location, proximity to beach, etc.) that we offer. We are definitely humbled by your comments. We had not been aware of the smoke alarm being set off by the toaster as you are the first guest to bring this to our attention (it's good to know that it's working, if only perhaps too well..) so we will have to look at alternative options as regards its placement. We will also definitely pass along your comments to our local staff and we know that they work very hard to try to ensure that all of our guests have a great stay so it's good to know that their efforts are being acknowledged and appreciated. It has been a pleasure to have you stay at our condo and we can only look forward to a future time when we might be able to host you once again for a great vacation stay in "paradise". We wish you a wonderful holiday season and 'tlll next time! Rob and Fay

This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on all reviews.

Response from the owner I am happy to advise that, as I had indicated to you during your stay, the condo has been completely repainted and fully cleaned in late May 2016 and, in addition, the condo now also offers a small washing machine on site to enable guests to do small wash loads while staying at the condo. I had tried to explain to you that the bulk of the cleaning issues that you had was due to the fact that you moved in within a four hour window of our previous guests' departure (they in turn also moved in within a few hours of the previous guests' stay as well) and, as a result, we had been unable to schedule the full cleaning that we normally do and would have liked to have done prior to your own arrival. The cleaning of the condo has never been an issue with our rental in the past (as evidenced by numerous previous guests' reviews) and we are truly sorry that you had the experience that you had in that regard while staying at the condo. We have emphasized to our local Barbados Manager that this poor maintenance of the condo must not ever be repeated and every effort will be made in the future for this not to happen again! We thank you for your feedback and wish you all the best, as always. Robert and Fay
