We enjoyed our stay immensely. Apple's House is much more impressive than described in the listing. First of all, it is well-maintained and super clean. Kudos to Andrea who came in twice during our stay to perform housekeeping duties. She is friendly, passionate about her work, and does an excellent job. Second, check-in was super easy and was made even easier with the kind assistance of Julie, the house manager. Third, the property is large and comfortably accommodated our group of six. Four, a welcome package of basic necessities including bread, eggs, water, etc. are provided. Five, the piece-de-resistance, the backyard and pool, is nothing short of delightful. We actually spent a tremendous amount of time at the villa and the backyard and pool contributed greatly to our reasons for doing so. One thing worth mentioning is that the beautiful Caribbean weather provides a haven for bugs, roaches, mosquitoes, and the like, and Apple's House is no exception. That said, the brief encounter with the critters in no way detracts from the attractiveness and comfort of the home, especially since the sprays provided work effectively against them. In sum, another vacation warranting a villa rental in Barbados will definitely find me back at Apple' House.

Lovely home with a truly amazing pool. Great location with easy access to both the beach just 10 minutes down the road and the highway up the road for touring around the island.

We had a fabulous stay at Apples House! Everything was exactly as shown, beds were comfortable, pool and outdoor area was AMAZING. As a group that loves to cook, we were really pleased with the well-stocked kitchen. We cannot say enough good things about Julie, the manager - she was amazing throughout our stay. All in all it was a wonderful vacation.

My family has been coming to Barbados since 2013. We've stayed in several different villas on the east/west coast of this beautiful island. Appleshouse checked all boxes and we felt the price was reasonable for what was offered. I had some worries that sometimes are not talked about in reviews. The villa is in a neighborhood, and with that we were worried about noise. Of course, Appleshouse has no control over neighborhood noise, (barking dogs, party houses, roosters crowing, vehicle horns beeping, etc)it can make/break a holiday. I'm happy to say that it was very quiet. The road is not busy with vehicle/pedestrian traffic. It feels very secluded. There are neighborhood dogs, however it seems they only bark when a family of monkeys are passing or when it’s dinner time. The bedrooms have AC that work great. The beds were very comfortable. The ensuite bathrooms had good water pressure and the solar tank never ran out of hot water. I was concerned about the kitchen/dining/ living room not having AC. This wasn't an issue because of the well thought-out design. Shutters/doors take advantage of cross winds combined w ceiling fans made the spaces very comfortable. Julie the property manager was always available for questions, very pleasant and knowledgeable. Andrea the housekeeper was professional but easy going, a joy to talk with. She made us feel at home, worked around us seamlessly. The pride she takes in her work is evident. Thanks for opening your home to ourfamily!

We spent our family spring break (March 11-18) in Barbados - 3 generations: 5 adults and 2 children. Apple's House was simply fantastic. The villa is beautifully (but comfortably) appointed. We spent a lot of time in the covered open area between the house and the pool eating, reading, and watching the kids swim. Julie, the property manager, is delightful and was very helpful in arranging dining and water activities. The villa is a very short drive to several beaches along the West Coast and is easy driving distance to Holetown and Speightstown. We also spent a wonderful day driving to the East Coast and the Barbados Wildlife Preserve. We hope to return in the future.

We just had a wonderful family holiday with 6 adults and a 10 month old baby at Apples House. Communication from the start was outstanding. Julie the house manager got in touch early before our visit and arranged lots of things for us (cot, car hire, airport transfer, shopping, cook etc). Andrea the house keeper was so nice and friendly and Ryan the local taxi contact 100% reliable. The house is lovely, comfortable and well equipped. The patio area overlooking the pool has a great view out to sea and a nice place to sit and relax. The pool is perfect temperature and the 10 month old with us was in every day in his inflatable. There are lots of lovely restaurants very local (book early!) and plenty of places doing takeaway food. We found a car essential for supermarket trips, takeaway pick-ups etc being a group of 7. We used Ryan for getting us all to local restaurants and back a few nights. All in all a beautiful villa in a nice quiet location with friendly helpful support on hand. We couldn’t recommend this villa and the team highly enough.
