We had a fabulous stay! Our party of 6 adults loved the location right across from the beach. Ms. Velta is a great host! Very responsive, checking in before and at the end of your stay. She has a lovely home and ensures it is taken care of. We will be back!

New Year’s Eve in Barbados

Nice small public beach literally right across the street with beach bars. Great weather. I don’t recommend driving unless you are experienced with Barbados roads and drivers.

Lovely villa in a great location

The villa was very spacious with lots of amenities. My family of 3 couples had a great stay at the villa. The access to the beach is just across the road, it was also very convenient for the bus service. The villa was a lot nicer than it looked in the photo's. I would definitely recommend staying at this villa.

Perfect place

A perfect place to stay for us. Velta and her team her super accessible, friendly and helpful. The villa is well equipped for all the activities you can think off. Short 5-10min drive to either holetown or speighstown which have a wide range of shops and resturanats. The beach oppsite is simply wonderful with a number of bars and beach shacks. Great week in barbados, would recommend to all.

Great stay!

We traveled to Barbados with 7 people and this house had all we needed and more! We really appreciated the beach chairs and beach towels provided. There was a lovely housekeeper that kept the place in tip top shape as well.The villa is right across the street from a lovely beach and a fun beach bar called thunder beach that we visited frequently. It was also across the street from Simone’s…a kind woman who runs a beach restaurant with the BEST rum punch and really great bajan food. We loved it and will definitely come back here!

We were in contact with the owner prior to our vacation, Velta was very welcoming and friendly, she gave us a lot of information about the area and how to get around. She was extremely helpful as was Ronald the property Manager. The house was beautiful, with an excellent location across the street from a great beach and on a bus line. There were several restaurants in the area, including Simone's right across the street. The house was fully stocked with any thing we needed. We had a great time and we highly recommend Graceville. We travelled as a group of three couples. We all had lots of room and privacy. The house was very clean and a housekeeper came in twice while we while we were there.

Great home, Great Location, Great service!

They say “Pictures are worth 1000 words” but the property pictures, don’t do this full service. It exceeded our expectations. The property location is awesome, right across the street from a popular yet not over crowded beach. The backyard is huge! The host Velta has thought of EVERYTHING, to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Wonderful holiday!

We loved staying at Graceville. The house is very spacious and comfortable, with every amenity you could wish for, plus a few more! The housekeeper, Alicia, attended the property three times during our 10-night stay, ensuring the house was always spotless and that we had fresh sheets and towels. It was also very nice to be contacted a couple of times by Velta, the owner, who phoned to make sure all was well. The location is great. It was fantastic to be able to cross the road straight onto a lovely beach, something we took advantage of, with morning and afternoon swims every day. Also, being on the main road meant travelling to any west coast location, via the very frequent yellow "reggae" buses, was very easy. I don't think we ever waited more than 10 minutes for a bus to either Holetown or Speightstown. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Graceville and very much hope to return there in the future.

One of the best ocean locations

Too summarize. Pros. Beach and water are tops in our many caribbean stays. House was super clean, very well appointed, and caretakers very helpful. Many restaurants in the area to choose from. The cons are more prefences that we try to avoid in our stays, but not a reason to avoid a great vacation. Location is a busy area. You have to cross a street that during the day is quite active. If you're renting a car. Roads are narrow, and may be challenging for some drivers. Not much else to complain about, but overall we would go back. Also too note. Velta our host contact was great! Helping out, checking in and making sure things went as best as they can on an Island far from normal life in the US.
