Great idea to have Livi pick us up at Airport, 45 mins later we were in our apartment and drinking a beer. We had dinner that night and breakfast next morning. Livi is a fabulous cook and great host. We had a couple more dinners and next time will have at least every other day. Livi arranged an excellent and inexpensive car rental. We are already looking to book again with Livi for next year. Car (very convenient) and accommodation cost less than staying close to the beach.

Can’t say enough about our perfect Barbados vacation and our 11 nights at Dee Dee Villa. Livy greeted us at the airport and delivered us safely to our lovely home away from home. The spotless apartment had everything we needed to prepare our meals, enjoy the outdoors and lovely gardens, and rest comfortably after busy days on this beautiful island. Livy arranged a rental car for us and gave us tips for our excursions to the beaches and other attractions. We were also lucky enough to sample his delicious cooking which included fish cakes, rum punch and coconut bread and an amazing dinner with his extended family! Lazy mornings on the patio brought opportunities to enjoy the hummingbirds feeding on the lovely blooms along with green parrots and green monkeys. A short walk through the quiet neighborhood took us to a spot overlooking the sea to watch beautiful sunsets. A visit from teeny frogs ( the size of your pinky fingernail) in the evening after a rain shower surprised and delighted us. We hated to leave this perfect vacation rental and certainly recommend it. Thank you Livy, Joyce and Peter Margo and Paul Saint John, New Brunswick

Great property with everything you need. Great location with some lovely local beaches and easy access to bus stops to other parts of the island. To top it all off Livvy is the perfect host, a real pleasure staying and we would come back without hesitation.

This spacious property is in a safe friendly neighborhood. Our host was a wealth of knowledge on Barbados, available for groceries or a tour. Pride in the gardens and property made it a pleasure to call our home away from home.

This little gem truly offers everything you need to make for a very comfortable stay in beautiful Barbados. From the highly recommended pick up and drop off option to the airport, to the warm welcoming on site host Livy who is happy to welcome you for dinner on your first night, you have everything you need in this fully stalked 2 bedroom apartment to make for a stress free stay. Close to all amenities including beach, shopping, restaurants, and night life, we highly recommend a stay at Dee Dee Villa. Thank you for a wonderful relaxing stay. Tina and Chris

Communication from the beginning was fantastic and then once we arrived I knew we had made the right choice. This is a beautiful property and Livvy works hard to keep it that way, tending his gorgeous gardens and cleaning. He is a lovely generous host and I hope to be back one day.

Livy is very kind and helpful. We appreciated getting picked up at the airport, and his daily routine of keeping the property tidy. It's a beautiful spot with quick access to Holetown. The apartment is sparkling clean and spacious, with an excellent shower and comfy beds. It is quiet at night (except for the chirping frogs which you will hear anywhere on the island). Overall it is a great place to stay at a wonderful rate.

Fabulous hosts who made us immediately feel welcome and at home. The apartment was very well appointed and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Would not hesitate to recommend them, nothing was too much. They went above and beyond when our taxi didn't show for the return journey to they airport. Liv saved the day and we really appreciate his kindness.

First trip to Barbados and glad we opted for rental than hotel. Livi and Bev added a personal touch and accommodated beyond expectations. Thoroughly enjoyed apartment. Settled well into location and even got used to walking back up the hill! Chilled holiday. Happy to recommend and hope to return.

Our trip started with cancelled flights and a difficult drive in the dark through Barbados, but this was all eased with a very straight forward check in upon arrival at the property! Bev & Livy could not have been more helpful, we even got offered a complimentary rum punch made by Livy which was the best we tasted all trip!

We stayed for 3 nights. The accommodation was excellent. The highlights were a very comfortable bed, powerful shower, well stocked kitchen. The hosts were very friendly. Little touches like beer in the fridge, cereal, teabags, coffee and bread and milk made the stay that much easier. Also shampoo etc. in the bathroom. The outside patio was lovely to relax in. Cable tv meant we could watch the cricket. We greatly enjoyed our stay and will recommend to others.

Lovely well appointed apartment, lived up to expectations

The villa is 800 square feet of pure delight. Clean as can be. The gardens are like a botanical garden.

Everything about our stay at Dee Dee Villas was perfect. Bev and Livy are great hosts and Livy is also a great cook, he cooked for us and friends one evening (Catch of the day) it was amazing. The apartment was very clean and very well equipped. The villa is in a quiet residential area and is only a short walk to the main road and the local beach, you can also get a bus to any part of the island from the main road. Nothing was to much trouble for Bev and Livy we would be very happy or should I say luck to return. Thanks for everything Jane and Steve.

It had everything we needed, exactly as advertised. Veranda is a perfect place to relax, sunbathe without getting burnt. Livy spends hours working in his beautiful garden. Bev and Livy were perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed Bev’s “hot out of the oven “ cookies and Livy’s rum punch and appetizers. We looked forward to late afternoon chats with Livy covering a variety of topics and reminiscing about Barbados in 1969. I was thrilled that the purple orchid bloomed on our 62nd wedding anniversary… a very special scrapbook memory. We were fortunate that we finally got to see the green monkeys; yes, they run around Bev & Livy’s garden. Livy and Bev took us on a tour to Bathsheba, we saw more of the island than expected… it was a trip down memory lane. Due to inclement weather we had an indoor picnic on their veranda. Livy’s Pickled breadfruit salad and Rum Punch showcased Livy’s cooking talent. We’ll recommend Dee Dee to our friends and recommend it to anyone who anyone who is looking for a delightful place that ticks all the boxes, the website really doesn’t do justice to this hidden gem.

Had a fab time at Dee Dee villa. Beverley and Livingston are great hosts, very helpful and lovely people. Livy is a great cook and loves his beautiful garden. If you need anything just ask! We extended our stay by 15 nights to a total of 7 weeks. That says it all

Immediately upon entering Dee Dee Villa we knew we found a gem. Exactly as depicted in the listing - spotlessly clean, comfortable with just what you need for a lovely stay in Barbados. Dee Dee’s charm continues with hosts Bev and Livy who did everything they could to make us feel welcome and comfortable and safe in these COVID times . From being picked up at the airport, delicious supper made on our first night, games played with laughter and great conversations, guidance on beaches to visit, places to see and things to do, to help hiring a car - Bev and Livy were our go to people! We enjoyed the beautiful garden with enthusiastic gardener Livy describing all the plants to us. We became fast friends and most definitely will be returning!

I will say that the property is Just as the pictures show,Very Quiet and safe neighborhood. I will be visiting again.

We stayed at Dee Dee villa for two weeks, and had a wonderful time. The villa is very spacious and clean, and the outside covered patio was terrific - we ate all our meals "al fresco" on the patio. The proximity to the grocery store and beaches, particularly Folkestone Marine Preserve and Park, made for a very easy stay. Thanks very much for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful accomodations.

After reading all the positive reviews we were pretty sure we had found the perfect place to stay for our Barbados holiday and we were not disappointed! Bev and Livy picking us up from the airport and Livy making us a wonderful evening meal which we enjoyed sitting on the balcony listening to the tree frogs made the perfect start after a long flight. Regarding the flat, we really cannot add to what has already been written. It is simply a very clean, well maintained place to stay in a quiet residential area with no major road noise, hosted by two friendly, helpful owners who will interact with you as much or as little as you wish. We would have no hesitation in recommending it and cannot wait to return!

Perfect for my needs, clean and friendly. Hosts were great and accommodating.

This was our 2nd stay with our friends Bev & Livy. The apartment is clean comfortable and well equipped. The location is safe and walkable to the main road and local beach as well as buses to Holetown about 10 min away. Livy’s Meals are better than any restaurant! Until next time! 🇧🇧💕

Perfect location for enjoying all the island has to offer. The apartment is cozy, comfortable and meticulously clean. It had all that I needed for a perfect stay Bev and Livy are more than gracious hosts helping you find your way around, offering rides when need and creating gourmet Bajan meals when requested. Best vacation ever highly recommended

Beverley and Livingstone treated us so well that we felt at hone from the beginning. They were always very helpful and kind. Breakfast and dinner were always excellent. The flat was very well equipped and in impeccable condition. The villa is beautiful situated and the place very well maintained.

This is our second visit to Barbados, enjoying this visit with our stay in the accommodations offered by Bev and Livy. You read many reviews of accommodations, in the varied web sites providing vacation listings, some good and some not so good, some honest and some deceptive. It has been an absolute privilege for us to stay at this property, our vacation was outstanding, and our ratings could not be more truthful. When you find a gem like this, do you keep this information to yourself so you can quietly return, or let others know and risk having the accommodation constantly booked? The property and the accommodations are exceedingly well maintained, and Bev and Livy could not be more caring or helpful, looking after the smallest details so promptly. Each day Livy was out in the garden and around the property ‘manicuring’ the landscape and keeping everything tidy. We always had time for a chat, sharing what we had planned for the day, receiving helpful advice and suggestions. The property is located a short walk from the beach, and the busy traffic of the island, in a quiet neighbourhood setting. As we are very active, it was an interesting and achievable walk to both Holetown and Speightstown, meeting the kindest island folks along the way with a cheerful greeting each time. We used the public transit system very easily, embracing the island lifestyle. This property is located on one of the transit routes if you wanted to wait for the scheduled service. Most times, we traveled the main routes with very frequent service and walked the last way to our destinations. We prefer to prepare our own meals, and access to full service grocery stores is very easy. The kitchen facility in this accommodation has everything you need, and Livy was always willing to provide some helpful direction and accessories if needed. For those concerned about beds and comfort, we can assure others that the beds are very good and the linens very generous. There is also an abundance of closets and in-suite laundry to accommodate a long stay. The suite has air-conditioning that works very well. We preferred to enjoy the natural breezes and fresh air of the island so we only used it one time when we were preparing a larger meal for our family that was joining us for Christmas dinner. The rest of the time, the windows were open for nice cross ventilation in the suite with the assistance of a fan. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

What a truly remarkable experience! This property was perfect in every way. Everything that we could have wished for had been provided and it was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was extremely well equipped so preparing a meal is easy if you want to eat in. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. Little extras such as beach towels, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel being provided really make a guest feel welcome. Bev and Livi are truly wonderful hosts who were always on hand to provide us with information and share their recommendations with us. Their garden is lovingly tended and Livi is keen to share his horticultural skills with you.Many shrubs and flowers of great colour and beauty fill their immaculate garden. We had the pleasure of Livi cooking a fantastic dinner for us. The swordfish was cooked to perfection and my daughters pork tenderloin was first class! We certainly recommend enjoying a freshly prepared meal on the balcony as the warm air breezes past. It has been a privilege to have met Bev and Livi and to have stayed at Dee Dee Villa, and we thoroughly recommend this property for a wonderful stay in Barbados. Thank you for kindness, see you next time! Sue & Eleanor

We knew when we first found the listing that this was going to be a home from home experience. Bev and Livy went out of their way to ensure we had a perfect stay. Picking us up and dropping us back to the airport took away the stress of dealing with late running taxi,s. Livy,s food is amazing and was a great touch after a long flight. The grounds are so pretty, peaceful and secure. Family visitors were made welcome. Great location near to shops, main roads and the beach. Originally from the island my mum who is partially disabled was able to relax and found the whole visit to be stress free. Bev and Livy are fantastic hosts who answered all questions prior to the visit quickly and could not have offered more. Great communication and service. We are not sure when we will next get the chance to visit however we are sure that when we do it will be at Dee Dee Villas if they will have us. Thanks for making our trip so fantastic. Keith and Enda

Loved the meals and the obvious effort to make my stay fabulous again!

The perfect place for a visit to this beautiful island. Great hosts. I recommend there option of first night and morning meals from the host who is a retired Chef. Yum

The property was just as expected. Bev and Liv met us at the airport, ran us about until we rented a car, and delivered us safely and in good time to the airport for our journey home. We were comfortable, enjoyed the quiet of the property including the colourful garden and enjoyed meeting some of the locals just a nice distance from the busy coast. We thank Bev and Liv for their hospitality and would recommend Dee Dee Villa as a very convenient base to explore the island. Malcolm and Katie Rowe
