Charming 2 bedroom 2 shower room self catering apt on a gorgeous quiet beach



Attractive ground floor apartment with shared patio leading directly onto one of the quietest and most beautiful beaches on the West Coast with excellent swimming and snorkeling in crystal clear water. Comprising 2 air conditioned bedrooms with powerful en suite showers. The main feature of the apartment is its inside/outside living with beautiful views of the Caribbean, especially at sunset. There are several excellent restaurants nearby and the local shopping centre and supermarket is within easy reach. You are 1.5km away from Sandy Lane and its world class golf facilities and watersports, fishing etc are virtually on your doorstep if you require.
The apartment has ifibre optic nternet access and on site security.
Little Reef is well situated for multiple activities. Directly on a very beautiful beach there is snorkelling on the reef a short swim out from the shore. Boat activities are on offer from passing operators on the way to the big resorts past Sandy Lane. Fishermen bring in the catch in Fitts Village five minutes down the beach. Jordan's Supermarket is five minutes walk along the beach and there are restaurants within easy reach by foot or car. There are no high rise blocks of apartments, no fast food outlets nearby but local food restaurants are within walking distance. if you want to shop, need a Bank a good meal or a pizza, even a bit of night life, Holetown is fifteen minutes away by bus or car and Bridgetown and the South Coast around twenty minutes by car and the busses pass regularly!
If you just want to sit and do nothing but soak up the sun Little Reef has a lovely patio with an ambiance all it's own . The sunsets are very often spectacular and to sip a cool drink watching the boats go by is truly the most relaxing and stress free activity of them all.
We just want you to enjoy the experience!

Wonderful as usual
This was my second time staying at Little reef and it didn't disappoint. It is a space that really feels like a second home and not an antiseptic hotel like atmosphere. Even the artwork is original and nicely done. You definitely cannot get closer the the ocean unless you are in a boat. And a very swimmable ocean at that. Explorable reefs and calm seas. The home is safe, comfy and amenity rich. The back door is fully retractable, the Weber grill is perfect for the catch of the day from the local fish monger in walking distance. The book shelf has some excellent titles. the Even the little glitches felt quaint, like the dryer out for repairs/replacement or the patio table's wicker a littler worse for wear did not bother me at all, There was a clothes line in the ample sun and one just picks up the odd shedding of wicker. Overall the place has everything you need and nothing you don't. Michael and Grantley are consummate gentlemen and are available and accessible should they be needed.

Little Reef is a perfect little hideaway
We had a lovely two week stay at Little Reef. Right on a perfect quiet beach, within easy reach of all the West Coast has to offer. Bed was comfy, air con great, WiFi fast and the apartment although basic had everything you needed. The sunsets were spectacular!

A room with a fantastic view
The situation is wonderful overlooking the sea. However there were several teething problems, not least the cleanliness of the house. The exterior had just finished being decorated the previous day and everything was covered with dust. The air conditioning in the main bedroom wasn’t working but this was rectified the next day with a new unit supplied. The following day the house was cleaned thoroughly. The next problem was the washer wasn’t working and despite being informed that a technician would be coming round after 11.30am this never happened. The house needs a lot of TLC which is a shame as it could have been lovely as it is in a perfect position.

A fabulous apartment on a wonderful beach.
The apartment was excellent, with very good facilities. It was only a few steps to the beach, which was almost always deserted. The sea was warm and the swimming a delight. Very good restaurants and other facilities close by.

Million dollar views
I cannot stress enough the incredible feeling of jumping into the sea at any moment of the day or night. We spent many hours lounging in the waters revelling in our luck. We were so conveniently located to everything west coast, an easy bus ride to Bridgetown and beyond towards the south coast as well. The primary bed is incredibly comfortable, the outdoor balcony becomes our hangout thanks to the bifold doors that open up completely to the west horizon. Mr. Michael, Grantley and Sally the owner were all accessible and accommodating. We will be back for sure. Barbados after Hurricane Beryl was a dream and we feel so grateful to everyone on this little island for showing us how resilient and kind you are. My heart ❤️

Another fantastic stay at Little Reef
I can’t rate this place highly enough. The location is perfect, the apartment well equipped. Grantley and Michael can’t do enough to help out during your stay if you need anything and Sally is a great host. This property is probably the best all round place I’ve ever found on VRBO! The reviews say it all really.

Charming place, great location!
Have just returned from a 3 week stay at Little Reef. It is just as lovely as the photos show, and we very much enjoyed our visit. So much, in fact, that we've just booked again for 2018! Many thanks to Sally, as well as Grantley and Shirley for their kindness and attention during our holiday. Can't wait for next year!

Great snorkelling just outside your door!
This west coast accommodation is very convenient to exploring Barbados! Beautiful setting on the water too! The lower apartment was very nicely outfitted but could use a little updating. Only negative to our whole experience was the loud traffic early in the morning. The property owners were a pleasure to deal with!

Best backyard ever!
When we booked, we were torn between the tourist area of the South side of the island or the calmer waters on the West coast. We visited the South coast, great bars and restaurants, but best beaches are West coast hands down. Go the grocery store, load up and relax at the Little Reef. Nice Italian place a short walk down the beach. When we go back to Barbados this is the place I will look at first for availability!!

This is the 2nd time we stayed at Little Reef. Our 1st time was 5 years ago. This stay was just as relaxing and satisfying as our last. The addition of the wifi and TV was a welcome improvement. Michael and Grantly were very responsive to some questions we had. This villa is a hidden gem.

Fabulous sea front property
Stayed at little reef for 2 weeks and it was everything we'd dreamt of, beautiful location fabulous beach and a really nice apartment, it was our first time in Barbados but won't be our last. The location of Little reef makes a perfect base in which to explore the island. We always felt safe anywhere on Barbados, the people are so friendly and helpful, Grantley the caretaker lives right next door and is always on hand if you need him, after we arrived Sally rang to make sure every thing was alright which was a nice touch when your in a strange place,

One word describes this property - WOW! There is so much to love about this charming apartment with its ample amenities (WIFI, laundry, fully equipped kitchen, etc.) and its two spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite and AC. But the uniqueness of this property is its backyard with steps onto a lovely beach with calm clear blue water and a stunning coral reef beginning a mere 50 metres or so from the shore. The diversity of fish species and the numbers of fish frequenting the reef are incredible (tangs, triggerfish, wrasses, flatfish, pufferfish, angelfish to name but a few). The timid swimmer need not worry because much of the reef is shallow enough to allow standing if needed. I have never experienced such amazing snorkeling a mere 30 sec swim/walk from shore. The neighborhood has a local vibe and features many good restaurants, public beaches, a fish market, and easy access to a supermarket. Restaurants are pricey in Barbados so the ease of purchasing fish straight off the boats and cooking them on the outdoor bbq's is a huge bonus. We always felt safe and having the caretaker live next door was a plus. I will definitely return to Little Reef when I am next in Barbados and look forward to seeing the upgrades and renovations.

Great property with direct access onto beautiful beach
Loved this property with its fantastic location and views straight out to sea. The best place to sit in the evenings with a glass of wine watching the sunset. Well equipped kitchen, great for us as we love to cook. The property is on the main road but this didn’t bother us at all, we only used the main bedroom which looks out over the sea so noise wasn’t a problem for us. Easy to explore the rest of the island from here, we had a car but there are frequent buses from just outside. The only possible downside is that the main terrace is shared with the flat upstairs which can feel a bit intrusive at times. Over all a lovely place with outstanding views, we really enjoyed our stay.

Second time round was just as good!
We have just returned from our second holiday at Little Reef, and already I am missing the sound of the waves lapping against the garden walls, the amazing views of the almost deserted beach, having breakfast on the terrace watching flying fish leap, and dipping in and out of the Caribbean at will,and of course the lovely Bajan people. Little Reef is very special. It has all the owner describes and more, An amazing apartment with a charm all of it's own, and we love it. I would highly reccommend to beach lovers, families with small children, couples looking for peace and quiet but with lots of amenities within easy reach. Many thanks Sally for sharing Little Reef with us again, it was bliss.

Beautiful Views
Our 5 day stay was to commemorate our 30th wedding anniversary since we had visited Barbados on our honeymoon. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Reef. The apartment is well equipped, clean, and comfortable. We had wonderful weather which allowed us to enjoy the spectacular views and dine on the porch. One of the highlights for the place was the wonderful snorkeling equipment that was provided. We went snorkeling 3 out of 5 days right off the beach and saw some beautiful tropical fish as well as a Hawksbill Sea Turtle. There are some great restaurants and grocery within walking distance. Just a note about the seaweed that is all over the island- it was minimal on our beach and was gone the next day. If we ever come back to Barbados it will be to stay at Little Reef again.

Paradise
We stayed at this lower apartment having spent the last 2 January holidays upstairs. We had an amazing couple of weeks, the view is just beautiful. The access to the beach is fantastic, with an outdoor shower to rinse all sand away. We love Fitts Village and the people, they are so friendly. The apartment is brilliantly equipped with everything you need and the bed was very comfortable. The advantage of the road so near is that buses pass every 5 mins or so to take you anywhere on the island. We love Barbados and have already booked again now that we’ve left. Thanks Sally you have been great in all communications and ringing several times to make sure all is good.

WOW!
The pictures on the website don't do justice to the actual villa. We couldn't believe our luck when we arrived. The welcome pack was lovely, just what we needed (even a few beers!). The house had everything you could possibly want and the beach and sea was superb. We particularly liked listening to the sea at night and waking up to the sea view in the morning. Watching the sunset at night was a delight. We couldn't fault it in any way and had a brilliant holiday at a particularly good part of the Barbados West Coast. If you've never been to Barbados then this is a good place to start as it is within minutes - North and South - of some of the best parts of the country. John and Shirley, Herts
