About this house rental


OCEAN VIEW APARTMENT ART STUDIOS, HOLETOWN

Just paces from the beach and a short walk from some of the fabulous facilities of the Platinum Coast, everything you need is on your doorstep at the Art Studios.

The apartments are adjacent to the luxury boutique Sandpiper Hotel.

Whether it's swimming in the warm Caribbean sea, relaxing in the tropical gardens, dining at one of the renowned nearby restaurants or a spot of shopping, nothing is more than a short walk away. If you just want to do your own thing, the apartment has a well-equipped kitchen and there are plenty of shops nearby ranging from simple but delicious street food stalls to the luxury Limegrove shopping centre. If you do want to venture further afield, there's a bus stop within a minute's walk (the fare is a fixed BDS $3.75 for all journeys). There is also on-site parking if you prefer to explore with your own car.

Other nearby facilities include tennis, world-class golf and, of course, water sports. For snorkellers or divers, Folkestone Marine Park is just a few hundred metres away.

This was our 5th stay at Art Studios. The things that bring us back are fabulous location steps from the sea, wonderful staff that take care of everything needed and the sense of community with the people that stay here. We had a fabulous stay.

Cute, Affordable, and Well-Located!
Cute, Affordable, and Well-Located!
This wonderful little property is a hidden gem on the platinum west coast of Barbados. The unit has a large upstairs balcony with gives you 'just enough' beach view while still being quiet and private. Also occupying the upstairs is the kitchen,which provides flexibility for longer stays or those who enjoy preparing their own meals. The bottom floor has large bed and bathroom w/shower. The unit is well-decorated and I arrived to find it very clean, courtesy of the on-site staff (Thanks Tonya, Meschell and Michael!). There is no air conditioning, but sleep was okay as long as the fans were running. The shower's hot water is solar heated which was sufficient on sunny days, but as I arrived during a particularly rainy weekend, I was glad to see they had an aux. water heater. Some things you'll love about Art Studios? - Easy to find right off the main road running through Holetown, everyone knew where it was if I needed a taxi. - just a 5 min walk to Limegrove Center, which is full of shopping and dining choices (and a Saturday Market). 10 min walk from Art Studio gets you to the Supermarket, gas station and countless well-reviewed restaurants. - The beach in front lies between some larger resorts and did not seem as busy as those just up or down the coast. There is a trailer with tables, drinks, food and lounger rentals called Pepperjacks that I would absolutely recommend! - A national marine park is right next door so you can pay to access that protected natural reef, or Pepperjacks can arrange a fun, 2hr snorkle with turtles and a shipwreck. - On-site staff were very helpful!! Some things to consider about Art Studios: - The units are not designed for people with mobility issues & if I was traveling with young children, I would look elsewhere. The stairs of the unit are smooth stained wood and you must use them carefully, especially with socks on. The access road to Art Studios can also get quite muddy when it rains all day. - The building is probably half a century old or older, so no A/C, just a tiny tv for DVDs, and a short supply of hot water. If you need all the amenities of a nice hotel, then staying here will require a small compromise. - The local mosquitos are smart and determined, and I was VERY thankful the hosts provided citronella candles to better enjoy the balcony. Bug spray is recommended if spending significant time on the balcony. Den and Gloria were great hosts and I would absolutely stay again at Art Studios! Thanks!

Loved it!
Loved it!
Property setting is lovely. Apt is adorable. Love the upstairs kitchen, light, spacious and airy. Outside terrace was a lovely place to sit outside early in the mornings, and work from home in a great location with a view of the water. And yes, the location was just steps to the beach, as well as a short walk to local restaurants and shops. Loved the location. There was only one problem, and that was that my stay was way too short! Definately want to go back and stay longer.

We stayed at Apt 14 for New Year. It was exactly as described with a cosy and homely feel and all amenities, including a large supermarket, were within a five minute walk. Exceptionally clean with amazing views of the sea from the terrace - great for watching the sun go down. And yes, you really are a few footsteps away from the beach. Heavenly for a quick dip to cool down! It was also a great place to watch the fireworks from the nearby hotel complexes. It's a really friendly complex and Meschel, Tonya and Michael are all friendly, professional and obviously take a great deal of pride keeping the complex and gardens so immaculate. We had fly catchers and sparrows and doves visiting us daily and humming birds, mongoose and fireflies were a regular sight. We even saw monkeys 😊 If you want an independent stay in Holetown with opportunity to put money into the local community rather than faceless hotel companies, you'd be hard pressed to beat Apt 14. It's certainly large enough for two people and when the weather was too hot, we moved the portable fan to the terrace and with the ceiling fan as well these were enough to allow us to people watch, watch the sea and wildlife in comfort. We're already saving our pennies to go back.
