This comfortable, 2 bedroom main level apartment is set in a beautiful villa amid a gated tropical garden in a quiet location of the sought after West Coast. We are close to Royal Westmoreland, Folkstone Marine Park & Beach, and fabulous Holetown! The apartment is bright and airy with colourful fabrics, comfortable furniture, and breezy tradewinds (or use the air conditioning for a more cooling breeze!). There is a very well equipped kitchen so you can rustle up anything from freshly caught fish to a rum punch for sun downers. Enjoy watching hummingbirds feeding among the Bougainvillea and monkeys scampering up our mango trees as you relax under the breezeway. Watch the most fantastic sunsets. All linen, bathroom necessities and beach towels included, and more. The main floor deck is designed to take advantage of the Caribbean breezes. If you need to keep in touch there is very good free wireless broadband access included, as well as FLOW TV for our guests.

Holetown offers another great beach, banking facilities, taxis, car rental, Internet cafe, Post Office, excellent modern supermarket, high end and tourist shops, as well as Bajan local shops, bars, restaurants and entertainment. It has become a hot spot on the island, while remaining casual, friendly and accessible. Walking in Holetown is very enjoyable and safe. Elegant dining, Bajan, International, pizza and fast food are all available. Surf Side is a nearby popular beach bar that features Steel Pan music nights. City buses are frequent, so if you decide not to rent a car there is no problem. To the north are art studios and popular Lime Grove with high-end stores, cafés, and a VIP cinema experience. A short walk along the beach is Folkstone Marine Park and beach (our favourite), which features a museum, tennis courts, picnic tables, children's playground, washrooms, 2 beach bars, outdoor shower and foot wash, a gorgeous beach, a beach walk sidewalk, lifeguards, and an excellent marked, self-guided snorkelling tour around the inshore reef. Sandy Lane and the Royal Westmoreland golf courses are also located in this parish of St. James. The owner is very happy to share the best places to visit, direct you to a special beach experience, his favourite restaurants and even provide a tour.

A unique offering of this property: professional chef/homeowner offers special meals or full menus for guests, featuring their favourites or local Bajan specialties (additional fees apply, please contact for details). In addition, grocery and transportation services can be arranged for our guests for a fee. Also offered are airport transfers, arrangements for rental cars (delivered to the villa driveway!), takeaway beach picnics, rum punch and fish cake sundowners, beach drop offs, grocery runs, short tours, and more for a very reasonable fee.

All safety measures have been taken for our guests to book with confidence. Dee Dee Villa is private, safe, gated, properly cleaned, and we can provide contactless check in. If you wish to have assistance with groceries and supplies in advance of arrival we can also arrange this with you.

we hope to see you at Dee Dee villa for a true Bajan experience!

We spent 3 weeks at DeeDee Villa and had a lovely time. The apartment was very spacious—lots of room for my husband, sister and me. The host, Livy, was simply wonderful and I am so thankful we met him. He and his wife built the house on his family’s property and he has many family members nearby. It’s a real Bajan neighborhood and we enjoyed the morning sounds of rooster and cows! We ended up renting a car because my sister needs a new knee—Livy called the car rental company and they came right over with the car! This was our first driving experience in Barbados and quite an experience! He also made us rum punch —really wonderful to come back at the end of the day and have several—and fish cakes. All in all, I would highly recommend both the unit and the host.

My wife and I stayed at DEE DEE Villa for 15 nights in March 2024 and found the place to be clean, quiet and convenient. The apartment is located on the ground floor of the Owner's home. The kitchen has everything required for meal preparation and there are dining area inside as well as outside. The Owner is very proud the property which can easily be seen in how clean and tidy he keeps it. He is also very friendly and willing to assist his quests enjoy their time in Barbados. Everything you need (beach, swimming, water sports shopping, etc.) is easily available a mere 2.5 km away.

Liv was a wonderful host, always available to provide information or greet us in the morning. We ended up renting a car to get from the airport to his property, instead of having him pick us up, and his directions are spot on, but it doesn't hurt to have a GPS capability on a phone or in the car as many (most?) roads are poorly marked. Especially around rush hour there is a lot of traffic, the roads can be narrow and potholed, and you drive on the left, but It is just a few minutes to several beaches by car and there is a large Massey's supermarket in Holetown that has most everything. Many restaurants also in Holetown, and we bought fresh fish at the Speightown Fish Market, near the head of the pier. Kitchen has just about everything you would need if you want to cook, Liv is pretty good at it too, if you'd like him to cook for you. It was challenging to get into and out of the parking place even with our rented Toyota Yaris. We settled on backing up from the street, and make it a wide turn into the parking spot so you can get out later more easily. There is air conditioning that we ended up using when we were home. The apartment is on the ground level, so it just doesn't get the breeze Liv has upstairs. This is a nice place to stay, definitely different than the more traditional hotel or fancy rental home, but with a car or using the local bus, you'll get a nice feel for Barbados and how people live there.

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.
