Beautiful beach a 10 minute walk from a perfect, calm and cozy apartment. Plenty of outdoor living space and easy to catch a ride to wherever you'd need to go. Not for those who have limited mobility, but for our group it was perfect.

Perfect for our vacation
Property was clean and accurately described and Pat responded promptly to all our queries. Fernanda, the property manager, was welcoming and the referral to Lloyd for aeroport pickup and car rental was most helpful. The information sheet with email and telephone numbers was useful. Kimberly checked on our housekeeping needs and provided clean towels. The location was perfect for us, and the internet speed was good for our son who was there on business. A perfect vacation for us.

This was the fourth time we stayed in the apartment and it was as good as ever. The owner updates the place with what is needed and the maid, Kimberly, could not be more helpful. We have already booked our next visit at the apartment.

Great location.
Having had a return visit of 5 weeks stay at Gone to the Beach, we still feel it’s a good area to be in with easy access to the rest of the island. A very well equipped apartment for those who like to self cater. We did have a problem with the plunge pool which took a fair while to sort but once fixed all was well. Kimberly the house keeper is a delight. Nothing is too much trouble and she also recommends some very good places to eat out. I felt the manager of the property let the side and didn’t keep one up to date with what was going on. Barbados is a beautiful island with lots to offer.

The property is clean and area quiet. Some initial issues with the wifi access, but were soon rectify. Transportation is a must and Lloyd was very helpful in connecting us with airport pick up, to accommodate additional luggage. The housekeeper Kimberly was extremely friendly and nice and acted as a liasion when Fernada was ill. There is little or no activity in the immediate surrounding neighborhood, however, be mindful of vehicles speeding up and down the main road when exiting the property. Overall, I would visit this property again and recommend it to others.

A week in paradise
Our trip start to finish was wonderful. The property exceeded our expectations. Everything was extremely clean, the amenities were more than adequate and the host(s)- Pat, Fernanda and Kimberly were a pleasure. It was our friends 40th birthday and Fernanda was so accomodating! I had requested that we have some rum and a few snacks when we arrived as a little surprise. She had balloons, rum and mix and a fridge full of groceries. She was there to meet us on arrival and did a walk through of the property. We did have a small hiccup with one of the ac units not working but she had someone in fix it very quickly. We used Lloyd to rent a car, the rates were very reasonable, they provided pick up and drop off at the airport and the car was perfect. All 4 of us agreed we would be returning here on our next Barbados visit ❤️ Thank you to everyone for making it exactly what we wanted and needed

With the green throated Carib flitting around, nesting bananquits to the side, anole lizards scurrying about and scaly-naped pigeons cooing near by. The apartment is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. And the team and owner so wonderfully attentive.

Charming apartment
We had a lovely two weeks stay. Property was private, well maintained and well designed. AC, Internet, water pressure all good, lots of towels replaced twice weekly. Property manager Lisa was lovely and accessible. Foldable beach chairs and umbrella were appreciated and saved us $15 daily on rental fees from the beach vendors. Kitchen well equipped but limited prep area. We only prepared breakfast there anyway and spend our time exploring the island and eating out. We watched CNN and CBC in the evening. Car is a must, no shopping or restaurants nearby, perhaps more amenities before Covid? There was a small convenience store at the bottom of the street, with very unpredictable opening hours. We purchased groceries in Holetown Massy's, less than 10 minutes drive, they have a decent deli with cooked foodstuffs to take home. Reeds Bay is a lovely, all sand and very scenic beach, snorkeling opportunities abound but don't forget to bring the float to stay visible, there is a boat/seadoo traffic on the water. We ate at Waffle Haus nearby, loved it, few beach huts offering cooked food, we found it mediocre and expensive. For dining we recommend: Fisherman's Pub and Just Grilling (cheap/moderate) Fish Pot, Local and Nishi (moderate/expensive). Food served at local attractions was tasty and affordable, we loved fish cakes at Animal Flower, book in advance. I suggest picking maps, brochures, and magazines at the airport Info Centre, goldmine of info. If you are an animal lover, try to visit Ocean Acres Animal Sanctuary. Founder Karen and employees are great, and rescue cats and dogs are very social and loving. (We ended up adopting a pup, she returned home with us, and doing great here in Canada). Have fun!

Frugal with the truth
The property was certainly not as described as being a luxury apartment, plunge pool in my opinion is a waste of space, either make it a jacuzzi or make the space more open for people move around the patio, my biggest issue with the place is the location it’s definitely not a 5 minutes walk to Reeds Bay, the road you’d walk down is dangerous. I cannot agree with some of the comments that have been left on this property by previous holiday makers.

Everything about this property can be summarized by one word - excellent. The rental is beautifully decorated, extremely well appointed (my wife and I cooked every night and had everything we could possibly need) and has gorgeous views from a large deck that allows you take in the sunset every evening. Communication with the owner was excellent and the property manager, Fernanda, was exceedingly helpful (the cable TV was not working and she had it replaced the next day!). Finally, Kim keeps the place spotless and sanitized. Thanks to all for a great stay.

Fantastic
First I want to say a big Thank You to Pat for allowing me to stay at her home & to Fernanda the house manager who was a gem to work with. Pat also made booking seamless. My grand-daughter turned 8 years old & wanted a sleepover with her bestfriend; Gone to the Beach was the perfect place. The 2 girls loved their room with the 2 beds. Me & my niece stayed in the second one. These rooms while warm & welcoming, were still extremely spacious. We were pleasantly surprised that what you see in relation to the pictures posted of the house is what you get. I would venture further to say that the pictures doesn't do the home justice; it is beautiful and is tastefully decorated. Although the home is one of 4 apartments, your space is yours & there is no intrusion. There is a beautiful garden area where the kids (or adults) can play although to be honest, there wasn't much need for it as I am convinced the girls thought they were mermaids; I couldn't keep them from in the pool. The garden came in handy though for the times the pool was self cleaning; gave the girls something different to do other than sitting at the side of the pool wondering when it would be finished. I want to say thanks for that detail; the fact that the pool was cleaned every morning was like heaven sent. I had read someone speak about bugs and there was some (ONLY ON THE OUTSIDE PATIO AND ONLY AT NIGHT). I am NOT a bug person but these bugs wasn't intrusive & only came out at night; come dawn they were making their way back home like they were never there. There was also no flying insects, just your garden variety bugs because of the closeness of the hedge to the patio. The home had netting at the entrance so this also assisted with the absence of bugs on the inside. The property is very secure. There is a security gate with a lock so I felt extremely comfortable with the girls moving around on the outside while I was inside preparing meals. However, there was an issue with one of the sensor lights which I reported to Fernanda; she assured me it will be fixed. Speaking about preparing meals, the home have everything you would need to make meals. It even had a BBQ grill which I tried BBQing for the first time ever! Had to throw away a number of hotdogs though; no one told me that they cook so fast on the grill (the shame). Then picture me & my niece trying to wash a coal grill when finished. It wasn't a pretty sight. The girls are already asking when they could go back.

Amazing, quiet rental with private pool and killer views
We love Gone to the Beach so much we extended our 6-week stay for 4 more weeks. The location is perfect for us. Lots of side roads and fields for morning walks and only a 5-minute walk to a fantastic beach, passing local vendors, marts, ice cream shops and restaurants along the way. The outdoor patio is literally year-round outside living. We spent the majority of our time working at the outside table, lounging on the lounge chairs overlooking the ocean via palm trees, and dunking in the plunge pool in complete privacy. The furnishings are comfortable and inviting, The decor and household collections reveal evidence this much-loved townhome was once a primary residence. From the patio we saw green parrots, monkeys, whistling tree frogs and more. We absolutely fell in love with Gone to the Beach. Highly, highly recommend.

Plan your walk to the beach.
The property has beautiful views to the sea and the plunge pool was a welcome sight after the walk back from the beach. If you are not used to a stiff 10 - 15 minute walk then a hire car or taxi is a must. We planned our return from the coast to not coincide with the hottest times of the day because the final stretch to the accommodation is steep! Fixtures and fitting were of a high standard. Lightweight chairs for the beach were supplied. All in all one of the best rentals we have used in Barbados.

Nice property, probably needs an upgrade
The size of the property was as described and probably more suitable for a family of 4 ie 2 adults, 2 children rather than 4 adults. (However, we did originally book for our selves so we coped with the 4 of us. The deck outside was nice, but the splash pool takes up a lot of space and probably would be better if it was removed and make room for 4 sunbeds, with more space around. Incidentally, the sun in the late afternoon was more around the dining area, so I’d suggest utilising that area for sunbathing and relocating the dining space - just a thought! The living space was adequate, but probably needs an upgrade so that it is easier to use the kitchen, perhaps with more worktop space. The dishwasher definitely needs replacing. We gave it a good clean and realised that the tablet was not dropping out of its container automatically so we did that manually. There was sufficient crockery and cutlery in the property, apart from mugs/cups. We thought there were many personal photos which were not required. Although security is always an issue, the metal grid which was in place was rather outdated and off putting and perhaps a more modern system or even an alarm would be more appropriate. Having said all that we really enjoyed our stay and found Rachel and Kimberly very approachable and were more than helpful. Thank you for a lovely time and I hope you take the above as suggestions rather than criticism . Kind regards Sue

Thank you for your comments however it is not practical for 4 adults trying to sun bath on the beautiful terrace with a cool plunge pool and beautiful views over the west coast. The Kitchen is well equipped there is even a slow cooker, GF grill. Dish washer is being replaced Rachel would have mentioned it, she would have easily suppled extra mugs. My apartment certainly does not need upgrading you originally book for 2 persons therefore 4 person staying would have tremendous value.

A lovely home from home!
This property is a real home from home. It's a lovely apartment which is very comfortable. We are a family of four and there was enough room for us all. There is everything there that you could possibly need including a parasol and cool box for the beach, beach chairs, towels, sun loungers even a shelf full of books if you run out of reading material! The beds are very comfortable with aircon in bedrooms so we slept very well. The plunge pool is an added bonus on the terrace. I really couldn't fault this apartment it is definitely a home not just a holiday rental. It has been decorated beautifully with local artwork on the walls and lovely little touches throughout. The apartment is situated up a hill and is about 5 mins walk to the beach (takes a little bit longer to walk back up to the apartment). We didn't hire a car and managed by using local buses to get to the supermarket/restaurants etc (but if you have very young children or don't like walking you might want to hire a car) The buses are great experience and they get you around very easily. The local beach (Reeds) and nearby Gibbs are absolutely stunning with crystal clear water,these were easily the best beaches we saw on the island. We were pretty much the only people on Reeds beach in the mornings. The local people are very friendly and welcoming and we felt safe in the area. Thanks Pat the loan of your beautiful home.
