BB490 is a three (3) bedroom vacation home located on beautiful Dover Beach on the South Coast of Barbados near St. Lawrence Gap. "Gap" is the common Bajan expression for "Street", and this area is known for its quaint and eclectic shops and a plethora of bars and restaurants (including the famous Oistins Fish Fry, a short distance away, on Friday nights). It is the "happening place" on Barbados for those who enjoy mingling with other tourists and the friendly local folks - and all within walking distance.
Only minutes from Grantley Adams International Airport, this well-appointed, second-floor condominium is handsomely furnished and enjoys breathtaking views of the turquoise blue Caribbean Sea and Barbados's famous white sand beaches from its spacious covered balcony, living area and Master Bedroom.
Tastefully decorated, the accommodation features solid rich wood furniture with splashes of hot tropical colors - creating the perfect Caribbean atmosphere.
The open plan living and dining area spills out onto the spacious terrace, encouraging you to linger and enjoy the eye-candy vista and delightful
breeze. With ample room and stunning views of the aquamarine Caribbean Sea, the terrace is the perfect locale for dining alfresco in Barbados.
The Master Bedroom #1 opens onto the covered balcony that overlooks two lagoon-style swimming pools and boasts a fabulous view of the ocean and gently swaying palm trees from the king-sized bed! The Master Bedroom #1 and Guest Bedroom #2 have modern en suite bathrooms featuring showers; the spacious Guest Bedroom #2 is appointed with a queen-size bed and Guest Bedroom #3 offers two twin beds which can also be converted into a king ensuring couples or families can be suitably accommodated. Bathroom #3 is adjacent to Guest Bedroom #3 and features a tub/shower combination.
The condominium building gated (remote or keypad entry) at all access points. There is also a security person on property 24/7. The condominiums have two swimming pools outfitted with chaise lounges, chairs and tables, and there's also a fully-equipped fitness center on site. An elevator will take you to the second floor, and there are a washer and dryer right in the condominium for guests' convenience.
A few steps away, the white sandy Dover Beach, one of the most desirable on Barbados and the ideal place to bask in the warm Barbados sun. Take a relaxing swim in crystal clear, sparkling waters. Lie on the soft sand and enjoy cool tropical breezes. To the far left of the beach is a coral area where friendly sea turtles come to feed. You can actually swim with the turtles during high tide.
BB490's rental rate includes maid service two (2) days per week. The condominium complex is within walking distance of Barbados's entertainment hub - St. Lawrence Gap - allowing quick access to the many amenities and excellent restaurants on the vibrant South Coast. Unless you plan to explore the island (which we highly recommend), you may not need to rent a car. We can also arrange for a driver, since driving on the left (as is the custom in Barbados) might be a little challenging for some people.
Children are welcome. No Pets. Smoking is not permitted (local ordinance).
What We Really Like About This Condominium (Staff Visit):
-
It's right on a beautiful beach that offers services (beach chairs + umbrellas for rent) and is not too crowded, even during high season.
-
The beach is sandy and has a section of coral and seagrass that attracts amiable sea turtles, and is ideal for snorkeling in calm seas.
-
The view is amazing from the covered verandah; sunsets are nothing short of spectacular.
-
The condo's rooms are spacious and airy; the kitchen is well equipped.
-
The condo's covered verandah has an ample seating area as well as a dining table with six chairs.
-
The condo's location in St. Lawrence Gap affords easy access (walking) to a wide variety of beach bars, restaurants, small grocery stores, and shops.
-
While we do have a driver on call for our Guests, if you decide - last minute - to go out to dinner or shopping and need a taxi, there are several right outside the condo's gate who will take you wherever you need to go.
"Having transportation scheduled ahead of time was nice. Helped to keep things on schedule and more enjoyable. - Cindy T. 2017
"I have stayed here for 3 years in a row now and have never been disappointed. The condo units are exceptional in quality and stocked with everything you need for your stay. Nothing is overlooked. The staff are discrete and pleasant yet always available if you have any inquiries or concerns. The balconies are large and spacious and perfect for enjoying the ocean view. The pool area is clean and rarely very busy. Many things to do within walking distance - bars, shopping, restaurants. No need to consider staying anywhere else." - Guest Review 2015
