Lovely stay in Barbados once again! Nice local people, beautiful beaches ( especially Sandy Lane!) Too much traffic noise and rooster crowing here for us, but the condo was comfortable otherwise. Blessed to be in Barbados again

Amazing villa on a beautiful island

Highly recommend this villa, the location and views are awesome, the villa was well equipped, Barbados is a very friendly island. The beach directly in front is rocky but just walk left a short distance to get sandy entrance. We would return, the cleaner was sweet and the Gardener was Funny! We even saw 2 monkeys briefly on the property!

Delightful

Property was very nice with exceptional views. House was well outfitted for cooking. Service staff (housekeeper, landscaper, and security personnel) were very engaging and supportive. Neighborhood and street were quite busy and noisy on street side of property, but otherwise great location

Perfect ....Again!

Our second stay at Seashells in the last 12 months and again, it did not disappoint. Perfect location and 5 star luxury. Once again we were looked after by Althea who made us feel very welcome and the grandchildren loved her. We shall return!!.

We have had an amazing 10 day stay here at Seashells. We have stayed at quite a few homes in the Caribbean and this one is the top notch! The beach is great and the water, perfect. It is close enough to the stores and supermarkets to be like "home." Everyone has been so friendly and helpful. We hope to be visiting again.

A long planned and much needed trip for six friends. We were all so looking forward to this trip and it certainly didn't disappoint. From the villa to the amazing restaurants, boat trip, friendly locals and the reggae bus, we enjoyed every minute of it! Thanks for everything.

We have had a lovely relaxing week at Seashells - it is a beautiful, in a lovely location. We've enjoyed the sunset, sea views, snorkeling just outside and seeing amazing fish. We also liked the fish market, just next door! The villa has everything you would need! There is also a lot of great food at your door (we loved the Roti den & the ice cream place). Thank you very much Althea for making everything so comfortable and clean for us and Carlos for the coconut water!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Sea Shells over spring break. Julie was a the best hostess we've had anywhere! Anytime we had questions about activities, restaurants, taxis or anything else about the island she had an answer. Ms. Althea made sure the place was spotless every day when we would return from our daily adventures. The beach is literally in your backyard! We enjoyed our daily evening walks along the beach allowing us to see some of the other resorts. Would definitely stay here again!

WOW! What a wonderful trip this has been! Barbados is beautiful + the people are so friendly. We met people from all over and enjoyed the awesome water and beaches. Thank you Althea for all your suggestions and guidance. You were so kind and helpful to us all. We wish you all the best in your new endeavors after you retire! We do recommend the glass bottom boat excursion with snorkeling + viewing the shipwreck. So Fun! Great Vacation!

Paradise Found

We loved our stay at Seashells and would recommend the Villa to anyone that wants beautiful beach view that look like a postcard. The Villa is within walking distance of various restaurants, fish markets, and water activities and a good hub if you are driving around the island. Snorkeling was great and we were able to see a variety of fish and stingrays just off the beach behind the villa. The staff was very kind and helpful and willing to answer any questions we had about the island. It was not hard feel at home in this Villa. The Villa was clean, well maintained and looked just as it does in the pictures. If given the opportunity, I would stay in this Villa again.

We have had a lovely time in such a beautiful house. After our lovely daughters arrived the house did not miss a beat. It became a family home. The children loved the plunge pool. Perfect for confidence building for a 4 year old. Althea is so friendly and accommodating, helping to create and maintain a lovely relaxed approach to life in Seashells. Must mention David too, keeping us safe in his discreet way. Also Carlos the gardener who supplied us with aloe vera.

Seashells in Paradise

Beautiful beachside villa with the perfect layout for families or large groups. Every room had a private balcony that overlooks an awe inspiring view of Payne’s Bay. We literally walked off our back gate into the water and saw a variety of fish, coral, and other sea life while snorkeling. The kitchen was stocked with anything you needed for meal prep and entertaining. The bathrooms were spotless and accommodating for both children and adults. The property was also maintained daily by a friendly and discreet staff. Aside from all the activities and tours we took, our favorite thing to do was sit out on the back deck and enjoy the serenity of ocean waves with the backdrop of a beautiful sunset. The location was also perfect - close enough to Holetown and small restaurants but isolated enough that you didn’t feel crowded. Of all the trips we have taken throughout the Caribbean, our daughters said that this has been their favorite place to stay. I hope we will be able to come back.

Fantastic villa and excellent location. We will miss our morning wake up swims and watching the sunsets on the beach with a glass of champagne. The best equipped rental we have experienced, and Althea has been so helpful and kept everything lovely and clean, with fresh towels and linen. Blue Sky organized some paddle boards for us, which really made our holiday. Being able to paddle over to the lovely beaches nearby The Cliff. Would recommend Tides, Lone Star, QP Bistro & Local & Co. Also, the pizza place across the road does a great gluten free pizza. You can get take away coffee & pastries from QP Bistro. Thank you also to Carlos, the gardener for helping me carry my paddle board up the steps! We will be back

Our first time at Seashell - a beautiful, magical villa with the best sea view in the world, all on an amazing island. We have enjoyed our 10 days in paradise, and this was made even more special with the lovely people who have looked after us. Carlos, the gardener, who kept us supplied with Aloe Vera to cool our sunburn and a happy smile. Josimar who cooked for us on two occasions. Not only a first class cook, but a wonderful young man. We wish him luck for his future. The security men who made us feel safe and secure, but most of all, Althea, truly the best housekeeper around. She kept the villa immaculate but her cheery good morning and her willingness to help was always second to none. We will miss you Seashells, Barbados and your lovely people, but we'll be back!

Lovely villa on the beach

Great size villa, good bedrooms which were on the beach side with bathrooms on the road-side, which is quite close. However two of the bedrooms have open louvre windows which allow noise in - would be far better if these were glazed over, as not needed for ventilation with the a/c. Outside space is good with direct access to the beach which is small but very quiet. Didn’t use the small pool much.Kitchen had supplies of oil, salt, sugar, coffee etc which is great, Didn’t feel we needed the daily housekeeper service-every 2-3 days would be fine.Easy walk to QP Bistro and the Roti Den. de Clay Pot is opposite- we enjoyed hearing the live music a couple of evenings (ends earlier so no issues with sleeping). Short drive into Holetown or beyond. Fish market is next door but that’s no issue.Felt very safe and secure. Great choice!
