The patio furniture need to be clean, the cushion was dirty and some unstitched. Also one of the sofa in the leaving room was broken. The refrigerator was not working well and the sink in the kitchen was leaking. Some windows did not have screen and somme do not open. Also in the bathroom the towels was damaged. Before renting I asked if they did some renovation because many years ago I rented the same house and at that time the house did need some renovation, They told me, yes that they renovated it a year ago but was not true, we were very disappointed. I do not recommended unless they renovate.

The location of the house is outstanding - on Brighton beach which is very quiet, only frequented by a small number of locals. This was a surprise to us given how beautiful the beach is. Having the small pool as well as being on the beach was a huge advantage to us with a 5 year old and 2 year old. The pool was perfect for cooling off in the heat, and the covered deck provided space for shade when this was needed. The bedrooms are all large with air conditioning. We didn’t feel that the lounge area required aircon as the breeze through the house was pleasant. The kitchen did get a bit hot but that was a very small issue considering the huge advantages to this house. There is lots of parking. The house is close to Bridgetown but also provides easy access to the resorts on the west coast. When we arrived the fridge was well stocked with drinks, milk, beer and some basics such as eggs and bread. We were very grateful for this after a long flight.

VRBO dropped the ball, collected our money but made no contact with the owners about our reservation. Contact info is years out of date. Luckily the prop. mgr. happened to drive by and see us standing there looking bewildered, and luckily they hadn’t rented it out already! But nothing bad at all to say about the house or managers themselves, they were both awesome!!!

UNREAL, beautiful, serenity, pure happiness and simply perfect. This property exceeded our expectations and couldn't have been more perfect for our family of 8. The hosts are some of the most accommodating and kindest hosts we've ever experienced. 5 stars all around!! Thank you :)

The villa is ideally located, in a beautiful setting. The outside patio is an amazing place to sip a coffee in the morning or relax at the end of the day. Having the beach and the sea right outside the backyard was just amazing! Even if it is a public beach, it is very quiet. It was very nice to have Michelle and Jerry around as well. We felt secure. The villa is super clean and, although it could use a little update, especially the kitchen, we felt very comfortable there. It is close to the city. Barbados is a wonderful place, the people we met were all very nice and the weather was perfect. Some negative points: the neighbor's dog barking is a little excessive sometimes and can get on your nerves. And during our stay, the buzzing kites were plenty and sometimes stayed flying over our heads all day and night. We were told that this problem is known and worked on by the authorities so it might soon be resolved. Still, overall, our stay was one of our all time favorites, we had a great family holiday, everybody absolutely loved it and we would not hesitate to go back.

Great house on excellent section of beach. House has lots of open covered lounging area to hang out at.

We loved this house, right on beautiful brighton beach, the property manager and housekeeper were really great and super helpful throughout our stay. Our only concern was that the house is locked at night using number combination padlocks which just made us feel slightly uneasy if there were a fire and we needed to exit the property.

I understood that I had rented a house with air conditioned everywhere ...( I see it has been modified in Home Away). I would have NEVER rented it otherwise. The pictures on Home Away and the reality are different: the pictures were taken a while ago... There were windows with NO mosquito screens or broken ones so EVERYTHING (monkeys, insects, cats etc..) could come in! The burglar bars (doors and windows) made us feel in a cage. The front door and the patio door were closed with number locks from within. What happen if there is a fire? The front door and the patio door with burglar bars meant that again EVERYTHING could come in during the day... After 6h30 p.m. we stayed inside (with the Persian doors closed)because of the mosquitoes but could not light anything because mosquitoes were coming in from everywhere!! There were mosquito repellents to use but really … I did not want to spray the interior (24/7) because of our health concerns (my husband and I both work in a health care) . Let you imagine how HOT the room was... At night we fought mosquitoes in our room … In the morning we woke up bitten... The air conditioned in our room could not go below 25C even if we asked for it... Upon our arrival, the pool was dirty. I was told that the pool guy comes only on Monday... (even after he came, the poll was still with sand and got dirty after 4 hours. The dinner ware was chipped … The BBQ broke. It was replaced the same day. Thanks! The dishwasher does NOT work. ( I did not mention it because we found out later during our stay and I did not want to deal with messages etc... After all we were there only 7 days...) Upon our arrival, (4h30 p.m.), the house was not ready (only one room cleaned). The lady told us she would come back the following day to finish it!!! First, we paid for a three room house with three bathrooms. Of course we did not need them but to see them unclean is not my definition of feeling welcome... I told the lady NOT to come back. When I booked the house last July I specifically wrote to Andy that we did NOT want housekeeping because we would be two AND we did not want to be bother. I knew it was I the price but I was not expecting any rebate, just to respect our need for intimacy. Well, Monday she woke us up at 11ham in order to finish her work.... I was very angry! On vacations, it is our prerogative to sleep if we want. Good thing? The beach is STUNNING!!!!! but the house is way too expensive go somewhere ELSE!

This is our second visit to Barbados but our first to Brighton beach. The beach is stunning and the property is fabulous. We were looked after so well, not only pre-holiday, where our NYE party tickets were picked up for us, but throughout the holiday. Susan was always at the end of the phone to answer any queries and was really helpful. We were really well looked after! Thank you guys! The only negative which did spoil our trip slightly were the dogs next door who woke us up barking every morning around 6.30am and barked a lot! This was a real shame as it wasn’t quite the relaxing break we’d envisaged. Otherwise it would have been the perfect holiday and despite the lack of sleep, we’ve had an amazing time.

We just got back from our 8 night stay at Seaturtle. To say it was amazing would be an understatement. The house manager Susan and the Reservations manager Andy were both lovely to work with. We also loved having Michelle, the housekeeper around during the day. Having Jerry at night made us feel safe and was very helpful and knowledgeable about things to do on the island. I went with my family and my sister’s family and we have children ages 4-8. They loved the swimming pool which was a perfect size for them. We also enjoyed having our coffee and evening cocktails on the beach, just steps away from the house. While the house could use some updating, we weren’t there to be in the house! We spent most of our time outside and it was perfect! I can’t say enough about our stay and the people who helped make it unforgettable!! Thanks to everyone! We will be back!

The property was better than the pictures. Great view, close to beach, swimming pool and great weather. Everything you could ask for. House was a little dated and could use renovating but the atmosphere off set that and actually not much time spent in the house except to sleep. Would recommend to anyone wanting a tropical vacation and would return.

The vacations were great, the beach being our number one priority. The house has everything you need, however would benefit of updated equipment and condition

House precisely as described. Perfect organisation of security and housekeeping. Never used beach as much as this time, go for a swim or snorkeling maybe 10 times a day, truly a beach family vacation. Humming birds, geckos and even monkeys couple of times around the house gives nice tropical scenery. What to improve - Wifi signal on the decking area , it is too weak outside, need update, no one wants to sit inside while sharing nice pictures on instagram :) Regarding nearby restaurants, Cin Cin By The Sea is horrible, awoid, fish and chips in London is better than that, wasted £1400 for New Year dinner. But even bad restaurant experience couldn't spoil this holiday, we are happy: weather, beach, sand, sea, house, security, car rental, food shopping all perfect, one of the best holidays. Feel money well spent. Thank you.

We had a great time, The beach is fantastic and the sea is warm what more do you need! It was nice having Michelle during the day to help with the laundry and Jerry at night to keep you safe. Thank you Sea Turtle for the memories. The Driver Family

Our family stayed at Sea Turtle and enjoyed a beautiful family time! The housekeeper , Michelle, was an added bonus. The owner also employs a house manager, Susan. I did not have a positive experience with her, nothing terrible, just not positive. Being a high end property, we think the owners could make some improvements, a new refrigerator is tops on our list. They did replace the coffee maker very promptly when asked. The home is well situated, very safe and secure.

Beachhouses are all about the beach and this one is quite perfect and you have the beach almost for yourself, just steps from the house. Two sets of deckchairs, one for the beach and one for the terrace, umbrellas for the beach, a big cooler if you can't make it back to the fridge, a state of the art BBQ - its all there. Michelle took good care of all the work in the house - we had a fantastic vacation. The pool looks much bigger in the pictures than it really is - its more like a big bathtub but with a beach like this you don't really need a pool for swimming.

We loved the house, the beach, gardens and pool. We stayed 8 nights and felt safe and at home. The outdoor covered dining and lounging area was our favorite place to relax and enjoy the wonderful weather. The owner's guide book was so helpful and we enjoyed many daily excursions to all parts of the island. The location of the Sea Turtle home was an ideal base for activities (snorkeling, catamaran cruise, Mount Gay tour, cave tour...) and going out to eat at wonderful restaurant dinners.

What an amazing family vacation in Barbados! The Sea Turtle on Brighton Beach is as good or better than all the reviews I read prior to staying here! We are a family of 5 with 3 younger children and we could not have been more comfortable, safe, or relaxed than we were at the Sea Turtle :) What more could a family or anyone want?? We had the entire Bay to ourselves every day with only a few locals and no one hassling us for beach chairs/umbrellas, jet skis, tube rides, turtle boats, etc etc. Beautiful coral with plentiful fish to see just off your own personal beach and my daughters LOVED finding all the sea glass! Any activity you would want to do is covered in the "handbook" and we did ALOT of them! Probably our best family vacation EVER and when we come back to Barbados we will definitely want to stay at the Sea Turtle!!! Thank you for allowing us to stay at such a special home!

I like to be brutally honest in my reviews as I think this is most helpful! Our booking experience was sublime - Andy is a dream and real pleasure to chat to!!!!! We arrived to be met by the House Manager with a fridge of hospitality and pre-ordered food and drinks and a cooked fresh chicken on the stove. On first walking into the house it was not quite as "plush" as we had expected and so initial 1st impressions were not great.......BUT.......OMG..... This villa is SO comfortable and has everything needed for a relaxing break. Maureen - the Housekeeper cannot do enough for you and keeps the house immaculate!!!! The Owners Manual, otherwise known as "the bible" is spot on and we followed many recommendations. All in all ...... Highly recommend!!!!!!

Our stay at Sea Turtle was great! The house was clean, neat and the layout was great. The beach was fantastic! Susan, Maureen and Chris were all very helpful and nice. Car recommended. If you need a taxi...Vernon King is the one! (his cards are at the house) We all had a great time , and plenty of room at the Sea Turtle in Barbados!!

We loved the Sea Turtle. Brighton Beach is a wonderful location, and we felt safe there at Sea Turtle. Shondell (the house keeper) was wonderful and did a very good job, and we also appreciated her and the company's flexibility with allowing us some privacy throughout our honeymoon. It's so nice to feel comfortable enough to feel "at home" while travelling, and the privacy was a big part of that. The property seemed to be in good shape, and we loved the colors and the turtle theme throughout the house. We did use the grill once, and that is a great addition, I think. Really, the home fit just what we waned: a place to relax, have privacy, cook our own meals, nice bedroom, etc. Oh yes, the "handbook" or whatever we call it (as I can't remember what was written on the front of it) was really helpful, also. Thanks.

Sea turtle was the perfect place for a family holiday. The location was excellent, it was very quiet which is unusual for that side of the island and yet very central and easy to get to places. It was very well maintained and beautiful inside and outside, the photos on the listing describe it well. It was extremely clean and we were well looked after by the housekeeper who was charming. We didn't need any help with anything as it was all perfect but there was a list of numbers for people should we have needed help. The owners provided and excellent handbook and covered all eventualities. We felt very safe and happy and the beach was great swimming and friendly and quiet. I would absolutely recommend this property to a friend.

Four of us rented Sea Turtle for a bit of pre-Christmas sunshine and it was fantastic. The bungalow has clearly been refurbished to a high standard along with the grace of air con in all the bedrooms. The outside covered seating was perfect for eating and relaxing. Food was easy with a big supermarket just up the road and, as the owners said they would be, our concerns about “no pool” were unfounded. Who indeed needs a pool when the beach (which hardly had any people on it) backs onto the garden and the water is so calm, and so warm. We will definitely be back!
