About this property

Comfortable, safe, breezy apartment set in gated garden, near Holetown & beaches

We are happy to report that we have taken additional safety measures 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 we can arrange this with you. We are here to assist you for the best, carefree Barbados experience! Tap into our Bajan experience and thoroughly enjoy the Island!

This comfortable, self-catering 2 bedroom ground level apartment is set amid a tropical garden in a quiet location on the west coast. We are close to Royal Westmoreland, Folkstone Marine Park & Beach, and a quick drive to fabulous Holetown! The apartment is bright and airy with colourful fabrics, comfortable furniture, and breezy tradewinds or air conditioning for a 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 humming birds feeding among the Bouganvillia and monkeys scampering up trees as you relax under the breezeway. Watch the most fantastic sunsets. All linen, bathroom and beach towels included, and more. This apartment is designed to take advantage of the Caribbean climate with open areas and opening shutters however ductless air conditioning is installed for your comfort.

Holetown offers another great beach, banking facilities, taxis, car rental, Internet cafe, Post Office, excellent 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. Elegant dining, Bajan, International, pizza and fast food are all available. Surf Side is a nearby popular beach bar that features Steel Pan 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 snorkeling tour around the inshore reef. Sandy Lane and the Royal Westmoreland golf courses are also located in this parish of St. James.

Clean, comfortable and convenient location

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.

Wonderful
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.

Perfect
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

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
