Madaline is an excellent host
We stayed for only one day but Madaline made it very special for us. She went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The location of the house is right at the beautiful beach. It is a true homely experience away from home. Would highly recommend this place.

Excellent location on Paynes Bay Beach
It is very nice to be able to walk out the door and be only a few steps to the beach or watch the sunset from the balcony. The apartment is basic in its furnishings, but comfortable. William was helpful in looking after a couple of things and we enjoyed talking with him. The beach restaurant was convenient to have on site, providing various items for our use. Overall, it is not as fancy as other accommodations might be, but is reasonably priced.

Wonderful vacation
We enjoyed our vacation in Barbados. The location is excellent(on the beach), and the hosts, Madaline and William, are great people—ready to help at any given moment. Every morning, we had 2 chairs on the beach awaiting us. There is a small playground for kids—we use it all the time for our granddaughter, 2 years old. The grocery store is near there, and there are lots of restaurants around. Gazebo offers food and drinks if you prefer to avoid cooking. We had a great time there.

The two bedrooms gave ample space for our family of four and as described by others Madeleine, William and Alison were very helpful & friendly. The air conditioner in the bedrooms worked well. Addressing other reviews, the place could maybe do with a lick of paint and one of the bathrooms had a strong sulphur smell but the location right in the middle of Paynes Bay is excellent. The beach chairs set up on the beach for us every day, just yards from the back door made everything so easy.

Perfect apartment in prime location
This apartment is run by a lovely local family. They’re very helpful and friendly. The location is superb, right on Paynes Bay, a few metres away from the sea :) the kitchen has all you need, the bedrooms have air-conditioning. I’d say pretty perfect! We will definitely come back.

A great place!
William and Madeline went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We checked in at supper time and William even drove us to a nearby restaurant and returned to pick us up afterwards. In the morning, the bar and grill on the beach behind the property provided a great place for some delicious food and drinks. We’d love to return and stay longer !

Enjoyed Our Stay
Madalane and Copper were great hosts. Copper drove us to the grocery store when we arrived. They provide beach chairs and umbrellas for their guests.When the fridge broke they replaced it the same day. They run a small beach bar and restaurant by the apartment which was very good and reasonably priced. The beach is excellent for swimming. We used the bus to get around, they come very frequently. We had a great time.

Basic but very clean, spacious apartment within metres of the most beautiful beach! Sun beds and umbrellas out ready for us every day. Lovely little beach bar for meals and drinks. The owners, William and Madalyn were a delight, and answered any questions we had. Our only problem was locating the property as we arrived at night. This property is just off the main road, not up Holders Hill. If you want a no frills beach holiday, this place is simply perfect.

Perfect apartment for exploring Paynes Beach
You couldn't ask for more welcoming hosts or a more convenient apartment to enjoy Paynes Beach. The apartment was perfect for our family of four and we thoroughly enjoyed our few nights here. Our only regret was not spending more time here. Especially for our daughter, the cats and kittens were a highlight of our travels - especially "Mongoose". Thanks!

Madaline was an excellent host and made us fell very welcomed and comfortable. Damien went over and above to set us up on the beach with comfortable lounge chairs and umbrella. For those who will use the “directions” in the VRBO note that the property is on the main road not on the hill. Host was very good to direct us when we called. Thanks again!

Spacious and well furnished with AC in the bedrooms. The owner, William ("Copper Cat") is very friendly and helpful. There are two supermarkets within a 5 minute drive as well as a few restaurants for takeaway. (Covid restrictions hampered dining in) Only negatives are that the kitchen sink got clogged twice (Copper was good about getting it working) and the beach bar just outside the bedroom and livingroom windows played rather loud music most of the day. Overall, a very good value.

A wonderful stay at Paynes Bay
We had a wonderful time staying at Holders Hill. Madaline greeted us on arrival and showed us about the spacious apartment. She had stocked the refrigerator with some drinks that were greatly appreciated. The next day we walked to the grocery store for some supplies and then spent the afternoon on the beach, trying out the Gazebo food, swimming in the delightful Caribbean, and lounging on the beach chairs under an umbrella that they supplied. If you decide to take advantage of this wonderful apartment and locale be sure to remember your sunscreen, insect repellent, shampoo and soap.

Very nice time
We just experienced a short but great time in Barbados. Madeline and William were very nice. The beach is just steps away. We did not have a car so we used the local buses which were inexpensive and convenient. There are a number of restaurants within walking distance. Mr. Vics was a great time with Tony on the steel drums. We also purchased fresh fish from a local place within easy walking distance. Overall the apartment is great value and we would stay there again.
