Carolyn saved our holiday!

Carolyn is brilliant! She saved our holiday after we arrived on the island and realised that the Airbnb we had booked was (to put it mildly) less than ideal. After a small moment of despair and then a little googling, we found the BarbadosBarbados website and called Carolyn. Within two hours she had us set up with a totally wonderful villa. She was so kind and helpful and the villa was absolutely perfect. She truly saved our holiday and we will be calling her again next time we visit!

Guest reviews Mullins Bay Townhouse 7

Everything was wonderful. Carolyn made us feel like Rihanna royalty! Her attention to detail and dedication made us feel right at home. It means a lot coming from our crazy NYC city. I look forward to visiting Barbados and will be in touch with Carolyn and her team!

My family of six stayed at Mullins Bay TH#7 for two weeks. We loved it. The grounds are one giant garden. Our yard was well maintained. My kids loved the pool in the backyard. We ate often in the backyard at the covered table. The house was immaculate. We were very comfortable for our entire stay. Lots of space. Marva (our housekeeper) was very friendly and so helpful. She did our dishes and laundry, in addition to keeping the house tidy. We were across the street from the beach and spent much time there. Two fine dining restaurants across the street. We walked to each and ate there often. We would highly recommend this property, and hope to be back again soon. Thank you to Carolyn and team for the rum punch and homemade brownies welcome – and making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. And a big thank you to the green monkeys who visited us on our first morning at the property – what a way to start our visit to Barbados!

Review of Schooner Bay 112 Moonshine

We stayed at Schooner Bay #112 and had a wonderful time in Barbados close to Speightstown. The villa is separate from the main units which allows a bit of privacy. It is really nice with all the comforts expected on a vacation. Carolyn of BarbadosBarbados made the recommendation, and this is the 2nd time she has fulfilled our arrangements.The previous time was three years ago for a larger family get together at a different location. She secured this place about 7 months ahead of our Jan-Feb 2019 stay, she arranged the airport ride with a meal stop at Mama Mia’s and had a pre-arranged grocery list stocked at our location. There is plenty of security allowing access to guests entry from the main road gate and another secure gate at the sea. We took advantage of swims and snorkeling a short walk along the beach and later used the huge pool for more relaxing each day. For more enjoyment, we ate at some favorite restaurants in Holetown (The Tides, Mews & Spago) and found some equally nice places a walks distance at Juma’s, Orange Street Grocer, The Beach Shack, Stanleys Sports Bar, Fisherman’s Pub and One Eleven East for drinks. From prior trips, we toured the whole island and recommend this be done. Also travel on the buses which is cheaper and a better experience. We have high praise for Carolyn and Billy O’Dell of BarbadosBarbados. Certainly, they get our recommendation and do intend to ask for their help in the future. At anytime along the planning and during the actual vacation, they’re willing help to make your vacation the best. This villa also had maid service with Cheryl, a very nice and pleasant lady.

We had another wonderful vacation in Barbados thanks to Carolyn. From the point of inquiring about rentals, booking, arriving, and requests during the vacation, she takes care of everything. Carolyn and Billy ensure we feel like family. We’re already planning our next visit. Cheers!

Guest Reviews Waverly One

We just finished our vacation at Waverly One on the lovely Gibbes Beach. It was a wonderful vacation booked seamlessly through Carolyn and her staff. They ensured we were well taken care of from the moment we arrived at the airport and until the day we left. As we were two families travelling with a 12 and 5 year-old, Carolyn ensured we had a chef familiar with our special dietary needs and provided a helpful list of things to do and best restaurants. We highly recommend BarbadosBarbados.

Guest Review Reeds House 9

We booked a Reeds House villa through Carolyn and were delighted with both her service and the quality of the villa itself. We spoke to Carolyn via WhatsApp before booking and she was most helpful in answering all our questions. Prior to our stay she emailed a list of recommended restaurants and activities. She arranged our airport transfer and was waiting at the villa to greet us. During the holiday she emailed to check that all was well. Carolyn offers an excellent service and I would certainly recommend her and hope to book with her again.
