My family and I just had a wonderful week at Crowsnest and cannot wait to return in the future. The house could not be located in a better place. It sits directly on one of the best beaches in Barbados, in my opinion, and you practically have the whole beach to yourself daily. We walked the length of the beach a few mornings and made it as far as we could ending at La Cabane, a beach bar, directly on the sand about 1.5 miles from the house. We had fun watching the ships come in and out of the cruise terminal each day and the hummingbirds devour the feeders. The third floor is such a magical space. I really did not want to leave the house for one minute of our vacation, it was just that nice. The housekeepers and house manager were wonderful and very responsive. You can tell they love the place as well. A couple of things that i think should be mentioned in the listing are, there is a first floor apartment so you may not have the property to yourself. It’s completely separate but I didn’t realize that when we arrived. It was not an issue as the guests there were very nice. There are cameras on the property and in the living space on the third floor. Once I saw them I asked the house manager about them and he said they’re not monitored but recording for security in case something happens. Other than that the house is perfect and we cannot wait to go back!

I travelled with my extended family of 10. The house was perfect for our large group especially the open air top floor. My grandson was in the pool as soon as he got up in the morning. We Loved having the beach right outside and the sunsets were gorgeous.

Unfortunately, this property fell extremely short of our expectations. Likewise, experience with the host-Andy and management. Our party of 10 booked this unit for one week in the middle of 11/22. Our plane was delayed and we arrived close to midnight. Upon arrival, I realized that the host never made available the access code. I immediately started calling and sending messages to the host. No response. We stood out on the street near the locked gates for over an hour, tired, hungry, upset, and frustrated, with nowhere to go. Finally we got lucky and secured a taxi. We drove to Hilton Hotel, unloaded our luggage and hoped to get rooms to get some rest. We were informed that there no available rooms. We loaded our stuff back inside a taxi and headed to Radisson. No luck. As we were waiting in the lobby and everyone was frantically searching for nearby hotels and tickets back home or to another island, Andy, who was awakened by Vrbo claim manager, finally woke up and shared the access code. Then I was informed by manager Ralph of unawareness of our booking and that the unit hasn’t been prepared for our arrival. But we were relieved we would have a place to spend the night. It was around 4:00am when we finally accessed the unit. The beds were undone. House was a wreck. Kitchen was absolute filth. Not something anyone wants to see when they expect to arrive to the paradise that’s listed on the photos. Now, specifically about the property. Do not be fooled by the pictures. These pictures are pure photoshop. The furniture is old. The mattresses are old. Every time you turn the mattress makes squeaky sounds and the coils poke you in the back. Everyone in our party complained of that. Air conditioning is available in bedrooms ONLY. Yes, no air conditioning in the bathrooms. In fact, the bathrooms windows had shutters, but no glass to protect against the heat and the insects. So it’s an invitation for mosquitos to come inside every time you flip on the lights. On the first day we didn’t know this, and left the bathroom door open and mosquitos flew inside the bedroom. I felt like I was the bait. I was not able to fall asleep because I heard mosquitos flying, and when I finally fell asleep I woke up with multiple bites on my face and my body. When the wind blew the shutters banged against the window frame and that was very annoying. I can go on and on about everything that was wrong with this property, but I just wanted to share these highlights.

Needed a week away and this was just perfect for relaxing and connecting with friends. Great home close to everything and nothing was left undone or disappointing. We had some meal prepared by a local chef that left us wanting more- sunset cruises- fishing- and lots of time “bobbing” in the ocean. When we weren’t there we hung at the pool and bar- would highly recommend Ralphie and his team- lots of memories!!!

We had the best week at CROWSNEST II. The house is extremely comfortable. The absolutely stunning beach is steps away from the home. If we were not on the beach we were on the top floor which has amazing views of the ocean, the kitchen, adequate seating, bar and pool. All in all we had a very memorable and amazing week, couldn’t ask for more. Thanks to Ralphie for always being available if we had any questions or issues.

Loved the house. We had the top two floors; the second floor was bedrooms and living area. The top floor was dining table, full kitchen lounging areas, and the pool! Absolutely beautiful views. The beach was perfect and the ocean was calm. This is a gem of a house.

The top floor of this house is truly special. Totally open air with kitchen, dining area, bar, swimming pool, BBQ, and two large sitting areas. Hardly a reason to leave except to go play in the ocean that's only 30 feet away. Can't think of a thing the owners could do to make it better. We very much enjoyed it.

Nice home for the 14 of us. We enjoyed the upstairs area and the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at Crows Nest Q1 of 2022 with a group of 9 of us including two infants. The property is exactly as described, with well appointed bedrooms and bathrooms, great working air conditioning, an unbelievable location on probably the best stretch of beach in Barbados, a great pool, and a tremendous marriage of indoor and outdoor areas. Ralph greeting us when we arrived and helped orient us to the house. The owner Mike was also an absolute pleasure to deal with, giving us great recommendations for dining, hiking, golf, etc. Daily house keeping was fantastic, they did all of our sheets and laundry keeping us good to go the whole time. I couldn't recommend the place and hospitality more based on my experience.

Beautiful home - even nicer than the pictures show. Responsive & helpful host. We had a wonderful time. 100% would return.

This has been the most restful week our family has had in a long time. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The housekeeper, was extremely helpful. We hired the recommended chef for a few meals. The food was delicious. Altogether a lovely time.

Everything was great. The layout of the property was perfect for us. We loved the location and the staff and property manager's were excellent. We had an excellent time. I would not hesitate to book this villa and I hate to say that because I want to come back and am afraid it will stayed booked up and we can't get our preferred dates....

Our family had a great time staying at the Crowsnest! The property was excellently located right on Brighton Beach. Everyone had fun snorkeling each day right out the back door off the quiet beach. The house was well appointed and easily accommodated our party of 10 adults and teens. We all loved the open air top floor and pool, although bug spray was a must when the wind sometimes died down in the evenings. The owner answered all our questions timely before and during travel. The housekeepers and house managers were friendly, gave us great recommendations, and responded to all our needs. We had Judy come and cook us for one night and it was delicious!! Overall a great stay in Barbados!

Crowsnest is a rare gem, the top floor views and ocean breeze are magnificent. This home is extremely well appointed with ample comfortable seating for lounging and dining for all eleven of us. We are cooks and the kitchen had every gadget, bowl, pan and spice necessary to create a masterpiece and it was equipped with multiple sturdy cutting boards and sharp knives so everyone could assist with the prep work. Brighton beach is magnificent and we loved watching the cruise ships in the distance and staring at the turquoise water through the bright green palm trees frame. The codes were so entertaining, and while relaxing we named day one "passwords" as we all worked hard to memorize the different codes on each level and then laughed hysterically at "what's the code?" as many of us easily forgot after a few to many sips of rum punch. We spent the week cherishing the top floor views and accomodations and thinking of ways to return. You will not be disappointed with the Crowsnest, or Barbados...both are spectacular.

Property was great and the check in super easy. Beach was perfect and we had everything we needed
