    We loved it here, quirky, compact, and so close to the most beautiful beach . You could rent sun loungers and umbrellas there. There’s a great beach bar/cafe nearby and local buses stop very near.

    We stayed at Westskye for nearly 3 weeks and had a great holiday. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped and our hosts Clive and Sheldeen couldn't have been more helpful. We arrived late but Sheldeen drove us into Holetown so that we could get some much-needed beer at the gas station. After a long stressful journey it was much appreciated to be able to sit out on the raised seating area with a beer, looking out over the sea, just relaxing. The following morning she took us into Holetown again so that we could get some cash and do a mountain of shopping at Massy's - then she brought us home again! The apartment has a good sized and well equipped kitchen/dining area, there is a compact sitting area with comfortable seating and a TV, the bedroom has a very comfortable bed and A/C and there is an en-suite bathroom. Outside there are a couple of chairs & a small table, then you have the lovely raised seating area which enables you to sit and look out over the beach while enjoying a drink. The wi-fi signal is strong. The apartment is right by the beach - there is a high wall but go out of the back gate and there is a door through the wall. Go down a short flight of steps and you're on the beach. If you want you can rent chairs and an umbrella (BD$45) from Rico's on the beach but the apartment has two folding chairs which you can take on the beach for free. One day, after it had been raining, I slipped on the steps to the beach. When they found out Clive and Sheldeen pressure washed the steps, even though it wasn't their responsibility. If you don't want to cook Ju Ju's beach bar is a short walk away and serves good value fish platters, but they close early (6.15pm is roughly last orders for food). There are a couple of expensive restaurants nearby, otherwise it's easy to get a bus into Holetown where there's more choice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Westskye.

    Small beachside accommodation with everything provided

    • One-Bedroom Apartment

    Apartment was small and the view was limited from the inside.

    The apartment could not have been better equipped. The hosts had thought of everything that guests were likely to need and provided it. An elevated area with sunshade, overlooking the beach, was available for guests. Good beach was yards/metres away and several others within walking distance. Many nearby restaurants along the beach. Supermarket and many others stores within walking distance (1 to 2 km). Parking adjacent to accommodation. Very friendly, helpful hosts e.g. they told us when men working on a nearby building were needing to drill and delayed the drilling until we went out. We were allowed to check in early.

    Just the shower stall really A little small but pressure and temperature were spot on A little bit of clutter with items in the apt, for Me less is more

    The apt is very comfortable, AC works 100% The view from courtyard is beautiful It's a home away from home Quaint The owners are very pleasant. I'd definitely stay there again and recommend this place if you want to rest and have some alone time which is what I needed

    Their is nothing I didn't like, but I did miss table spoons. There were just tea spoons, no table spoons.

    The beach was almost the backyard of the appartement and that was a real plus for me. The host has thought about all the beach stuff you might use (beach chairs, beach bag, blanket, buggy board, floaty noodles, towels, etc.) The appartement is snug and homey. The hosts are super friendly. My partner loves to cook and the appartement had all the appliances so he was very pleased.

    Beach front access with amazing views, bus is steps away, host is wonderfully friendly, responsive and accommodating. Kitchen is well equipped - get groceries in hole town at the market otherwise only a convenience store down the road. A quick bus ride will get you there and back. A beach towel, beach chairs, beach picnic bag, freezer pack, etc. everything you’ll need. the A/C is great and the place is very secure and safe. A perfect place for a single or couple.

    Can't complain.

    Host is great, location is lovely, room is clean and comfortable. Can't knock this place for a homestay. It is a basement apartment beneath a lovely family. The host provides deck chairs and towels and local advice. It's on the main road which is handy for buses and surprisingly fairly quiet. I would highly recommend this place. If you stay anywhere on Barbados you really should take advantage of the local transport. This place is great but I'd suggest using the frequent buses to try Speightstown and other areas for a bit more life and to just experience more than one location. It is so easy to get the buses from this property and there is so much within a short ride north or south. Also, not that I used them, but this place has FULL kitchen facilities and (American) cable TV.
