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!
