This is a return visit for us. This gem of a place cannot be beat. The condo is well appointed, the location is spectacular and the sea breeze defies words. You have direct access to the boardwalk, restaurants and beach. Rosanne and Doug are exceptional hosts. We will certainly go back!!! Thanks for everything!
Rosanne and Doug were awesome hosts. The place was immaculate and the surprise in the fridge when we arrived was a great, much needed touch. Close to beaches, bars and restaurant. Highly recommend a stay at this beautiful condo!
This was such a perfect vacation for us and our 9 and 11-year-old boys. Close to great restaurants. Multiple beaches to go to. And Roseanne was so organized and prepared and kept our minds at ease. The unit is beautiful and has everything you could need for the beach - towels, chairs, a cooler, bugspray, coffee, condiments. It's super easy to access plus it comes with a parking spot right outside the unit! We were pleasantly surprised with a carafe of fresh rum punch and several Carib beers, as well as bottles of water. Amazing views. The room that the boys slept in faced the road and it was a bit noisy at night with those funny bus horns, but we simply turned up the white noise function on one of our cells phones in their room and they slept well. Thank you Roseanne and Doug!
Excellent property, beautiful views, and key location. We loved our time here and will definitely return! Very close to Brandonâs surf break, within walking distance, and bars. The hosts were a pleasure to work with and really thought of everything to make our stay easy and pleasurable!
We are long-time visitors to Barbados. South Ocean Villas #203 was a wonderful place to stay. Clean, comfortable, well appointed, and great hosts/owners Highly recommended for anyone who wants an ocean view that is close to great restaurants, bars, shopping, and beaches.
Very convenient, secure, and the property looks just as pictured on the website. Met our expectations as it was very accommodative⊠the beach, boardwalk, restaurants, shopping and local transportation all very accessible.
Beautiful Condo with Private Pool on the waterfront
Rosanne and Doug were wonderful hosts, accommodating and communicative during our rescheduling as a result of hurricane Beryl. The apartment is well appointed with everything you'll need for a beach holiday! The building felt safe and clean, direct access to the boardwalk was secure and convenient!
We chose Rosanne & Doug's apartment from the description & photographs shown on line and it was just (perhaps even better ) than was advertised !!!
Wonderful views of the south coast seas & sunsets , spotlessly clean and with everything there to make it a true home from home ! R & D truly are super super hosts and we would highly recommend everyone to this little piece of holiday heaven !!
An excellent apartment in a prime location.
Very chilled vibe and the hosts could not have been more friendly and helpful. Also very child safe.
Definitely recommended.
The condo was as advertised. Itâs located close to beach bars, restaurants and supermarket I loved that a boardwalk is next to the building, great for people watching and exercising. Lovely host, great spot.âșïž
We stayed a week in Roseanne and Dougâs condo in Hastings and loved it. It was clean, lovely decorations, location to die for. We could walk to restaurants and other beaches. Perfect because who wants to cook on holiday? We also got to meet the Nicholls who are great hosts and lovely people. Loved it!
From the moment we checked in to the moment we left, we enjoyed this beautiful villa. The pictures convey exactly the lovely decor, the view of the beach, and the easy access to the boardwalk. We walked down the boardwalk to a different restaurant every night. Rosanne was a welcoming and gracious host. We highly recommend this place!
We had a great stay in this beautiful condo. Location was excellent, we did not need a car for our short 5-day stay. It was nice to be on the boardwalk for easy access to beaches and restaurants. The property was comfortable and quiet. The pool was never busy, and was a nice spot to cool off and relax. Rosanne was very welcoming, and communication was excellent despite our last-minute booking. We would gladly stay here again!
Our family of three (2 adults + 1 child) had the pleasure of staying at Rosanne and Doug's condo. The location was perfect, we enjoyed the incredible views, beach, sounds of the ocean and sunsets. We were within walking distance to everything we needed and loved our walks on the boardwalk. The condo was stocked with everything we needed and was super clean. Communication with the host was excellent and check-in was a breeze, we truly can't wait to return. What a gem of a spot!
The location is perfect. The boardwalk in front is perfect for walks. The balcony is perfect for sunsets. A small beach next door is perfect for a refreshing dip in the Caribbean. The condo is well stocked with amenities. Great restaurants within walking distance. Roseanne and Doug are great hosts and available for questions.
South Ocean Villa VRBO home was everything and more!
Our hosts were very warm,welcoming and helpful. They invited us to contact them at any time if issues arose. The condo itself was lovely and immaculate. The kitchen was fully equipped and we really appreciated the fridge which provided filtered water and ready made ice cubes. The complimentary bottle of chilled Bajan Rum punch was a real treat! Stunning views, excellent location,secure well-maintained property, and welcoming hosts all contributed to a fantastic vacation in Barbados.
We had a fantastic stay at the condo-itâs right on the boardwalk with a beautiful view of Accra beach.
From the moment you walk in,itâs a comfortable place with a large living area,great kitchen,but the main attraction is the perfect sitting area looking out onto the ocean.
Our hosts Doug & Rosanne were so friendly and gracious,you could not ask for better!
Itâs close to shopping,restaurants,bars and a car is really not needed unless you want to go exploring the island.
A five star experience,we are returning next year!
Couldnât be better!
Lovely condo on the boardwalk next to that Caribbean Sea.
Sadly our holiday was shortened due to the coronavirus but was kept up to date throughout by our lovely hosts, Rosanne & Doug.
We have no hesitation to return to this excellent condo.

Just got back from an INCREDIBLE week in Barbados with my friends and family. I cannot say enough about this condo and the owners, who were available for information and any little problem that came up.
I was there with friends and all of us cannot stop gushing about how perfect this place is. For anyone using a wheelchair, message me and I can give you some info on accessibility in the area.
It really is a magical place. I cannot wait to go back.
Impeccable Comfort, Convenience and Cleanliness Combined!
This condo is conveniently located. I would give it a very high walk score. The hosts were very thoughtful,, friendly and helpful. The kitchen, bathrooms and rest of condo were well stocked and considered.
I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness, I'm a bit of a clean freak and NOTHING repulsed me...nothing!
Great beaches and great restaurants within walking distance.
We changed locations 12 days into our trip to try another area and we missed South Oceans Villas, 203 immediately! We will be back!
We had a wonderful 5 days at the condo! It is idyllic! Right on the ocean- the most beautiful view-we went to sleep & woke to the sound of the waves! Access to the private beach, right at the back of the building is wonderful and Rosanne & Doug have equipped the condo with everything you need! The boardwalk is perfect for a walk and provides access to a range of restaurants and local shopping. Everyone was friendly and Doug & Rosanne stopped by to meet us and made sure we had some must haves (coffee,milk, coconut bread) as we arrived late in the evening. The space was truly our home away from home while there. It is bright, welcoming and so peaceful. The building is secured and the unit is newly renovated. The pool area is also very nice if you want a break from the sand âșïž We are looking forward to our next time!
South Ocean Villas Condo 203 - Lovely Unit, Wonderful Location!
We just completed a wonderful 4-week stay in unit 203. The view is spectacular only rivaled by the lovely, relaxing sounds of the ocean waves.This condo is spacious, immaculate, well-equipped and a very pleasant place to stay - started to feel like home in 4 weeks!. The beds are very comfortable and we really enjoyed eating in the open air dining area. This condo is just one level up from beach and pool so no need to use elevator. Location is perfect - by the beach and awesome boardwalk with restaurants/bars easily accessible as well as convenient local inexpensive transportation. And the best, most gracious welcoming landlords imaginable!
Thank you Rosanne and Doug for sharing your lovely place with us. We will be back:)
From the first minute we felt at home in the property. A superb sea view to enjoy the sunset every night. In addition the beach and boardwalk was only 2 minutes from the apartment through a private entrance.
Roseanne & Doug provided a very comprehensive set of instructions both before arriving and in a guide at the property and were on hand if we needed anything.
This was our 6th visit to Barbados and the 1st not in a hotel and this was by far the best.
The property had all the facilities you'd expect if you wanted to cook for yourself with a small supermarket about 15mins away.
If you wanted to eat out there were numerous places all within a 10 minute walk which was very convenient.
If you wanted to stay at the property there was a lovely private area with sunbeds and a small swimming pool that was excellent. We also walked a long the boardwalk and enjoyed sunbeds at Rockley Beach at the end of the boardwalk.
It was so enjoyable that we are already discussing returning next year. :)

We had a 16 night holiday in Barbados, spending the first couple of nights in St Lawrence Gap, then a week in a hotel resort in St James on west coast, before our stay in South Ocean Villas in Hastings.
This was a perfect way to spend our final week in Barbados. By this time we were missing the independence and flexibility of having our own catering - and laundry - facilities, which the apartment accommodated perfectly. It was spotless and spacious. The location was ideal - a few steps from the pool area directly onto the Richard Haynes Boardwalk, nearby beaches and beachside restaurants. The view from the apartment was exactly as per photos in the Vrbo pics - we enjoyed watching the sunset.
The beds are quite firm and the room at the front by the main road is subject to road noise particularly from morning traffic but we were so relaxed that this was not a huge problem. It was a 2 min walk to the Dread or Dead surf school (recommended for beginnersâ surf lessons) and we also had a super enjoyable catamaran day tour with captain Nick and crew on his Calypso catamaran. We walked everywhere and did not need a car. In the evenings we had movie night on the comfy sofa and huge smart TV.
Rosanne and Doug were great hosts and communicated brilliantly. We were very grateful that they allowed us a late checkout before a late flight back to the UK. Thanks for a great stay!
Well appointed with the essentials and extras. Coffee and sugar on hand;) the pool noodles, chairs and umbrella were a much appreciated touch. This is a great location and excellent condo.
