About this apartment rental

Attractive upstairs apartment, in beach-side house with communal patio, leading directly onto one of the quietest and most beautiful beaches on the West Coast, with excellent swimming and snorkelling in the crystal waters of the Caribbean. Comprising 2 air-conditioned bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, the other with en-suite shower room and washing machine. There is a well-equipped modern kitchen for the chefs among your party. The lovely light sitting room, with stunning views of the Caribbean and the beach, has a cooling breeze blowing through it for most of the year. In essence perfection.
The village shopping centre and supermarket are within easy reach on foot. There are several excellent restaurants nearby, including the world-renowned Cliff. We are 1.5 km away from Sandy Lane and its world-class golf facilities. Waters sports, fishing, and glass-bottomed boats are virtually on the doorstep - and, if requested, many will pick you up from the beach.. For those who don’t wish to hire a car the bus stop is nearby, and the buses run frequently up until 11.30 pm. The apartment has Wifi internet access and on site security.
Little Reef is well situated for multiple activities. From the very beautiful beach, a few short steps away, there is snorkelling on the reef, where you may spot one of the resident turtles, meandering among shoals of brightly coloured fish. Boating and water sport activities are also on offer from operators on the way to the big resorts past Sandy Lane. Fishermen bring their daily catch into Fitts Village, just in front of Jordan's Supermarket, a five-minute walk along the beach.
For those who don’t want to miss the exploits of their favourite team, Wendy’s sports bar is just a couple of minutes away, across the road. Wendy's also have a snack bar. Alternatively there’s the Surfside bar in Holetown (15 minutes away by bus and car), a great spot for being on the beach and watching the footie at the same time. Holetown is also the place to go to if you want a bank, pizza or the larger Massy’s supermarket, which will deliver your shopping if you don't have a car. Holetown also boasts plenty of watering holes and restaurants. Bridgetown and the South Coast are around twenty minutes by car and the buses run regularly.
If you just want to chill out Little Reef’s balcony is a great place for watching the frigate birds wheeling above, maybe a fisherman making a catch, and world go by – and, if you are up early and very, very, lucky you may get a glimpse of a monkey in the nearby shack-shack tree. If you want take a tan back home Little Reef has a lovely sunny patio, or you can take the extra few steps to the beach. At the end of the day there is often nothing better than a walk along the beach or just watching a beautiful sunset and the boats making for home, while you enjoy a sundowner.

Beautiful apartment right on the beach, gorgeous sunsets and ocean views. Crystal clear water, restaurants and grocery stores easy walking distance away and public buses run regularly right outside the gate. A hidden little gem.

The property is in need of repairs very badly. There were roaches in the bathroom and kitchen. An AC unit would be a great addition in the Living room. It was hot so you have to leave the bedroom doors open to cool the appartment. The Iron work is rusted..... The unit need a complete refresh!

You could never get tired of going to bed to the sound of the waves and waking up and sipping coffee on the balcony with this stunning view. Great location with a walkable market and bar just steps away. Place is equipped with everything you need from blender to coolers and ice packs. Rooms are very spacious with own bathroom for each room. Lots of closet space. Hanging rack for wet clothes, sun loungers for the deck. Rooms have AC that works very well and can cool down the main area a bit if you leave bedroom doors open. We had everything we needed and more. Grantley (neighbor) was amazing and helpful. Richard was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Some issues with the hot water at times, but nothing too bad. Would definitely stay here again!!!!

This is not our first time in this property or in Barbados. The island is always welcoming. The property is actually better this time around. The staff is amazing. We will be back.

What makes Little Reef is the incredible view. It really is wonderful looking out over the sea every breakfast and some sunsets. I would say the property is more tired and worn that the pictures show, and would benefit from some TLC and a deep clean (particularly in the 2nd bedroom). The aircon in the bedrooms was greatly appreciated and the washing machine was very handy. Little Reef was a bit further away from things than anticipated (my fault from not researching on google maps more extensively). There are a couple of overpriced (and not very good food wise) restaurants/bars within close walking distance, and one overpriced supermarket. We ended up hiring a car on our 2nd day and that made a world of difference. We tried out different beaches each day - Dover Beach, Holetown, Alleyene's Beach, Bottom Bay & Bathsheba day. It allowed us to visit lots of great beach bars and restaurants in the evening, and access to the far better Massey supermarket in Holetown. Communication with Richard was rapid and clear. Grantley was very friendly. Overall, I would definitely recommend the property if you are wanting a chilled holiday, but would recommend a car if you're wanting to go further out.
