The location cannot be beat. Ocean and surfing three steps from the house. The deck overlooking the water was also divine. All rooms with AC. Slept eight comfortably. The owner was responsive and helpful.

Beach House Heaven
Beautiful property literally on the ocean. We loved the location, easy to get to Oistins fish fry and Miami Beach. Swimming with sea turtles right outside the house was a highlight. Sunsets viewed from the deck were spectacular (although very hot) Air conditioning in all the bedrooms worked great. Only complaint is the beds (twins pushed together to make a double) weren't very comfortable. Otherwise an amazing property and we'd love to stay here again :)

Dream Come True
Soooo many sea turtles and great surf literally steps away! Check in and communication were so easy and the house itself was perfect (though big for just 2 persons). We really appreciated all the tips/info provided by the owners. Kitchen was well stocked with all the staples (salt, pepper, oil, etc.) We were able to comfortably cook at the house and eat breakfast on the covered patio every day. There’s also a nice restaurant at Arches Hotel just down the street if you’re looking to eat out…we ate dinner there twice. Oistins (nearest town) is also very close via car. Just a heads up for future guests - there’s not much of a beach right in front of the house (didn’t affect our plans since we were mainly surfing/snorkeling) but if you want more of a beach there’s Enterprise Beach within walking distance where there’s plenty of sand and lounge chairs available for rent. Overall our experience was 5-stars all around and we’re definitely planning to come back!

The photos of the property are a good representation of it. The location to the water is incredible! The sounds of the surf, the joy of watching the surfers and the endless sightings of sea turtles made for a very entertaining and enjoyable stay!

Due to a severe rain storm had to ask a neighbor for help getting into the property. The storm flooded some areas & the person we were to meet at the property couldn't make it.

In need
The house is in a beautiful location. The owner was very sweet and very helpful. However, we found it difficult to cook and prepare meals as the stove is very outdated. The microwave does not work. The refrigerator does not keep things very cold and the toilet in the back bedroom did not function properly. The dryer was not capable of drying more than a couple of pieces at a time with this being said with a little update this would be a five star. We still had a very good time.

Amazing stay Cottonhouse 2
This property is absolutely beautiful! The outside deck is huge and right on the ocean. Beautiful outdoor space to hang out, nap, read or watch sea turtles! There are 3 large doors/walls that open up out onto the deck which transforms the whole place. Way more than we ever expected! The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and modern! The property large and gated. The pool was an absolute life saver - unfortunately we were there during the seaweed blob so the ocean water was not so nice. We are looking forward to rebooking for our next trip!

Great house with fantastic view and water access
Sam was a great host, quick to reply to any questions . Fun house to keep teenagers (and adults) occupied and active. So easy for a morning surf, then chill by the pool or on the deck and just repeat every day.

Incredible view- Excellent Location
Cotton House 2 was a dream. We had a great time with our family and the location of the house was perfect to the different excursions. The bedrooms are spacious and the kitchen had an incredible view of the ocean. We rented boards and the kids were able to surf. Highly recommended for families and large groups.

Amazing property. This vacation house can’t be described in words or photos. It’s a preview of heaven. Waves crashing into the foundation at high tide, miraculous coloring of sunrise & sunsetting directly off the house. The beach below is soft white sand & barely shared with abutting homes. The turquoise water directly off the deck is frequented daily by so many turtles. turtles sometimes catch rides in the breaking waves so you see their silhouettes thru clear water. Surfing is easy with great waves right behind the house and rental shop that gives lessons directly across the street. Some days the surf rides were right behind the house & made for great videos from the deck. The sounds of crashing surf make for perfect nap on the couch on the deck or in the hammock. Sam, the host was fantastic in communicating & offering advice. The house maintenance staff were lovely. Paradise found. We home to return over and over and will be hard pressed to find a better spot. We ate in mostly grilling fresh caught fish from Oistins fish market or used the delivery service for take out & ate at the table on the deck as it was one of the best tables on the island. Highly recommend & have shared with friends & family as a must visit destination.

Happy Renters
We were very pleased with the property. Location was superb. Crashing waves, turtles, surfers, birds. That was our view every day. Plus we got to see the sunset every night. Sam is excellent in answering any question and attending to our needs. We wanted more beach chairs and he got them for us. Thanks Sam. Barbados is a wonderful place. We were astounded by the friendliness of the people on the island. Both natives and tourist. You can't help but be happy when visiting Barbados. The food was delicious. We ate in the town of Oistens at the local restaurants and it was a fun experience and the food was excellent. Overall, a great vacation. Staying at Cotton House II is definitely the place to be.

Lovely house and host
Hard to leave such a lovely place... we will miss the terrace with its comfortable couch and hamac, the surfing and paddle boarding just in front of the house, the meals at the big table overlooking the tirtles and the surfers.... The house is a bit run down due to the constant salt and sea attacks but it is shabby chic style so part of the charm. It is well equipped with AC is 3 of the 4 bedrooms. The fourth is very well ventilated—my 80 year old mother who is used to a mild climate loved it. The host (Sam) is super responsive, whether to immediately address a problem or respond to questions about the island.

Great hosts, great location, great stay
My wife and I had a fantastic stay here for 4 days in January. Sam and Stefanie were super welcoming and very responsive to emails/texts before and during our stay. This house is the perfect home base for an active vacation if you enjoy watersports (Surf, SUP, etc.). I would highly recommend this property for those looking for an active trip and a reasonable price vs the luxury hotels on the West Coast. 5 stars!

Great location, close to a beautiful beach, and not far from good restaurants.
Loved that the house was so close to the water, felt secluded, and yet wasn't far from amenities. It was easy to take day trips to all the island's attractions. Sam, the owner, is a super guy; friendly, informative and helpful. We would definitely love to return to this property someday!

Stunning view, spacious, convenient...incredible place
We had such an amazing experience here. The owners/caretakers were so accommodating, quick to respond, friendly and helpful. I am definitely coming back!!! The surf is outside your front porch. You fall asleep to the sound of the waves. And you have front row seats to one of the best sunset views on the island.
