The perfect spot for everything but we loved the view the most, it doesnât get better! Angela is such a welcoming host with lots of great recommendations, plenty of basic necessities provided, and great communication throughout. Convenient parking, access to pool, boardwalk with many restaurants, beaches nearby. 10/10 would recommend!
It was a beautiful villa with ocean front views, very quiet, on the boardwalk. At night we can just walk in the boardwalk and go to different restaurants/bar. It was also very near Carlyle Bay where we would drive and hang out for the day. We did this for 3 days.
Clean, well appointed, accurate description. Angela was an excellent communicator and it was nice to be walking distance from so many good restaurants and attractions, not to mention the boardwalk right outside. Pro tip: Walk about 13 minutes or so to the other end of the boardwalk for the best beach.
Beautiful home overlooking the ocean, walkable to so many restaurants and beaches. Angela was very helpful and responsive. Definitely would stay again!
Ocean breezes, turquoise waters, sunset and relaxation
What a wonderful vacation at South Ocean Villas. From the moment we arrived it felt like home. The location was just a step away from the beach with unobstructed views of the water from your patio. There was a boardwalk just out the door that led to more magnificent views and wonderful places to eat!
This is a beautiful villa, right on the ocean boardwalk with access to numerous restaurants and a small shopping mall for groceries and basic items. The villa is right on the beach.
This is the best location in barbados!!! close to everything !!! Angela is great and makes sure the stay is perfect. 5 stars. We used brian as our taxi driver he is always early also 5 stars!!!
The property is in an excellent location with ocean view. Clean unit and fully equipped with all coo
The property is in an excellent location with ocean view. Clean unit and fully equipped with all cooking items and washer and dryer. I rank the place 5 stars. Hope to return again. Angela was a great host and connect us with and outstanding driver name Brian. A must stay location.
This property is spacious, comfortable and as pictured. The sunset views and location are perfect and within walking distance of a number of restaurants and bars. We were two couples travelling together and the suite provides lots of space and privacy for 4. Angela was very informative and helpful. We can highly recommend staying here.
Thank you so much Angela for opening the doors to your paradise. The 8 days spent in your magnificent villa were incredible: the view to die from the balcony, the boardwalk at the foot of the building, the magnificent beach with its natural swimming pool and crystal clear water, the sound of the waves that rocked our nights, the cleanliness of the place, combined with a fully equipped and comfortable villa made this trip a perfection. We hope to return soon and it will certainly be at Angela's place!
We really enjoyed our stay. Angela was a very hospitable host and promptly answered any questions that we had. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The Villa is very clean as are all of the common areas. The views are amazing. You can walk the beach for miles. We took a tour of the Island with Brian and appreciated all of his insights into Bajan life. We would definitely stay here again.
We loved our stay in this villa! The views as you walk in are incredible!
The villa was well laid out and clean, it had all the amenities you could need and was in a good location with several restaurants and bars along the beach boardwalk in front.
The building has its own swimming pool but also right outside is a beautiful beach.
We would definitely stay here again if we were to return to Barbados. The host was wonderful as well and gave us lots of help and information when we arrived.
Thanks again for a fantastic holiday!
Pictures do not do justice to the beauty of this villa. It is in the perfect location, well maintained and very comfortable. We really enjoyed the beachfront balcony where we would relax at night with a glass of rum punch or early morning coffee. Angela St. John is a charming host and makes sure that every detail is covered. We stayed for 6 nights following our stay at the Hilton. We enjoyed the Hilton but preferred the Villa because of the space, conveniences and ability to walk to the Farmerâs Market or along the boardwalk to restaurants on the beach. We hope to return for a much longer stay.
What an amazing place to stay! Overlooking the Caribbean Ocean and listening to the waves come to shore is so amazing. From the moment we arrived and when Angela came to say good bye we were treated to spectacular service and hospitality. I canât say enough about this villa. Close to all amenities and dining choices. All within walking distance and especially lovely if you take the boardwalk at the ocean front. We will definitely be back. Thank you Angela !! You made our 35th wedding anniversary incredible.
The location of this property really sells it- a view of turquoise waters as you step in, right on the beach, easily accessible transportation, with restaurants and groceries nearby. The property does not offer cleaning, although weekly cleaning is available in other units. Given our previous experiences and length of stay, this came as a surprise. When asked Angela offered to do one week, which never materialized. A review of the kitchen utensils is needed, as some stuff either did not work or was not available and the nonstick pans lost their non stick ability. .. However these are an easy fix. This may not have been noted if we had a shorter stay. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this coveted location!!
If you enjoy waves lapping in and really knowing you're staying on the sea, this is the place for you. Angela was responsive to all questions we had and she was proactive in contacting us to give a heads up about a holiday that would effect openings in the grocery stores and shops. Check in and check out were very easy and Angela was very respectful of the space. Besides the great location, there was a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers to welcome us. Live plants gave the villa a homey feel. Transportation to stores, restaurants and beaches was very easy without the need to rent a car. Angela, a native Bajan, is knowledgeable about whatever you need to know about the island.
We had a peaceful 9 nights in this beautiful villa. The pool is lovely, so refreshing on these hot days. The beach was perfect for a swim, we did lots of long walks. The rental had everything we could want and we appreciated the inclusion of some basic kitchen things like salt/pepper, and all the kitchen tools we could want. There are lots of bars and restaurants in walking distance. We had a rental car and this was a great base to explore the island from. The rental car parking isnât as narrow as other reviews had led me to believe, but one thing Iâll note is that the ramp down to the parking is steep and we bottomed out our little rental car most times we came and went, so Iâd suggest either getting a rental thatâs higher off the ground or make sure your rental policy includes coverage for damage to the bottom of front bumpers (we had a tiny little Chevy spark but the other vehicles in the garage all seemed higher off the ground). It didnât take away from our experience though, highly recommend this rental for a peaceful vacation.
Angelaâs place was simply perfect!
The property is on the ocean and is exactly as seen in the photos. The views are simply incredible and a nice breeze cooled the apartment well so we only used the AC at night. Kitchen is very well appointed with extra touches such as ice packs. We appreciated that beach towels were provided. Beds were comfortable, on the firm side. The second bedroom does face the busy street, so was a bit noisier to sleep, but with the AC fan it was manageable.
The location is excellent, with several beaches (Rockley was our fave) and restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk. Tapas, Baby Doll, Buzo, Chill Cafe were great, Blakeyâs was the disappointment, both for food and service.
The bus stop is just outside the door, and we used the ZRs, and yellow and blue buses all week to explore the island.
The villa is on the Richard Haynes Boardwalk allowing for energizing morning walks and sunset strolls.
Angela was a great host, promptly answering our questions and providing great tips!
I have lived in Barbados my whole life except for 4 years when I attended university in Canada. I know the island extremely well and grew up about a mile away from this property.
The South Coast Boardwalk is a beautiful part of the island. It is a favourite nesting site for Hawksbill turtles and you can often get a view of the turtles swimming in the ocean. There is a shallow natural ocean pool with a beautiful beach, just a few steps away.
There is a sun deck with a swimming pool where you can spend lazy afternoons. There is a breathtaking view from the patio located off of the master bedroom. Although the unit is fully air-conditioned, you will want to enjoy the fresh ocean breeze on the patio. The property is quiet, secluded and secure and our property manager will assist in any way possible to help make your vacation memorable. We can advise you on the best things to see and do on the island. You can do as little or as much as you would like and public transportation is available right outside.
