Great location on a budget and very clean place!
Very clean! It is the perfect location on a budget. Close to all the towns, beaches. The tours Natassja conducts are amazing! I never knew Barbados had so much history. We saw the major attractions thanks to Natassja in the tour. The beds are super comfortable and the hosts were very pleasant. This is my third time staying here and Natassja makes sure each experience is unique and different from the others. I absolutely love this place.

neat and clean
Maxwell and Dover is where the home is located. Very close to the bus stop and taxis often were just a minute or two before one went by. ten minutes to the Beach by Salt Ash. A little nicer Beach a few more minutes away. The market at 3rd and Dover is good for quick pickups of water and snacks for beach. The market by Oistins is just a short bus ride away. Shaun and Cherese checked in on us and gave us our first ride down there. If you have not been there before study the lay of the land It will save you in the long run when you arrive. The home itself is cozy and for the most part basic. the wifi was excellent and tv ok, but we only watched news before going out and a bit before bed. As we became accustomed to Island time we realized we really did not need much. there are a lot of places to eat and drink and we thought the prices affordable and fit any budget. We did make breakfast in house most mornings. And make sure you try fish bites everyday. You will miss them when you leave. Sharky's had some of the best. there is a family food wagon around the corner on Dover and Fiona and her family serve great Rotis, and Bakes. there are other selections too. But hey sell out early. Natassja seems to be upgrading the house and is striving to make it as comfortable as possible. Don't worry about the neighbors or neighborhood. Everyone was very friendly and greeted you as you went by. Oistins is obvious but take a chance at the smaller places also. Drinks are less expensive and if you do not stop you will miss interacting with the locals. Lastly get out. We did Distillery tours. Get out to Foursquare, rapidly becoming number one in the world for boutique rums. And St. Nicholas Abbey is not to be missed. Both have rums hard to get anywhere else. We look forward to returning asap.
Don’t be taken in by staged photos and description. Once you get over the awe of staying in an Alexa controlled house, you have to accept what… Management team SAY are minor, micro deficiencies.How could this be the house with a fully functional kitchen “where guests can cook their own meals”? No place to store groceries; cupboards full of personal items including a lady’s thong. Pots were dirty, food stuck on them. Drawer of jumbled utensils, not one kitchen utility knife. Had an old broken can opener, took management days to replace. No tea towels, eventually received 2 small tea towels. No hot water in the kitchen. Dishes & cutlery were greasy & dirty. Dishes, pots and cutlery washed/rinsed under cold tap water, probably air dried, would have food remnants & be greasy. No casserole dishes, microwave/storage containers. No starter kit. Waist high grass, needed goats/. No shade a stony yard adorned by 7 huge tree stumps. Umbrella fell over when we opened it. Management say it must have been damaged during December storm. Had Management checked property since December? Felt intimidated by Management Team, didn’t report: Kettle broke mid Feb ,Gas igniter not replaced, Kitchen curtains kept falling off rusty broken holder. Shower drain is plugged; showering in ankle deep in grungy water. Kitchen sink drains slowly, has a noxious odor. Owners absence might account for some of the problems we encountered. Documented with photos.

Good value, bright and comfortable.
Natassja has a lovely, open house, comfortable, well cared for and clean. She was available and solicitous, and concerned about our comfort. The house is centrally located, an easy and short bus ride from anything on the south coast, and walking distance to the beach and action on the Gap. The house is on the main road, so if you are sensitive to traffic noise you might be bothered, but we all slept well!
