This is such a great place to stay. Debbie the host is there to greet you and is there throughout the week if you need anything. I cant say enough about the views, surrounded by beatiful tropical flowers and then the sea. We will definitely be returning to this amazing island and this property.

Fabulous Caribbean style house

We had a wonderful stay at Oceans, Debbie was lovely and gave us a great welcome pack and fabulous rum punch which was very much appreciated and made a great start to the holiday. There was everything you needed in the property plus more. We spent most of our time on the veranda which was a great place to relax out of the sun. We hired a car but it was close to super market and bus stop was right outside. We had a lovely relaxing holiday and would definitely go back again. And a great thank you to Debbie who was a great host.

A lovely stay

Very very well equipped, characterful, very comfortable, on edge of ocean ...Debbie the host is very pleasant and efficient. Have slightly marked down the 'location' score as the property (as are all other waterside properties in Fitts) is off the main road and traffic noise can be intrusive

Wonderful Barbados Beach Cottage

Our stay in the Fitts Village Beach Cottage was wonderful. The beach and snorkling access is outstanding, and the area has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Our hosts were gracious, helpful and informative, and gave us great tips for attractions to not miss (Hunte's Gardens, Harrison's Cave, St Nicholas Abbey) and rum punch recipies. The accomodation are exactly as advertised with a great porch and roomy bedrooms with AC. There is some road / traffic noise, but we focused on the waves crashing on the beach a stones throw from the porch. Everyone in our group agreed that our stay here was too short, and would be comfortable returning for an extended vacation. We rented a car, and there is no place on the island that was too difficult to drive to. (Beware of some roads, and be ready to make quick decisions behind the wheel).

Relaxing

We absolutely loved it here, clean, tidy & everything you needed for a relaxing holiday. Host Debbie is a lovely lady & nothing is ever to much trouble. Location was fab, there were a few local bars a few minutes walk away so got to try local food & hangout with the locals which we loved. There are also a couple of newer restaurants/ bars close by which were very nice too. Thank you Debbie, I’m sure will return one day soon x

Incredible Cottage!

We had the best time at Oceans! Debbie was such a warm host, providing a care package for us upon arrival and sourcing some much needed baby items (such as a playpen) for our stay. The beach right outside the cottage is a bit rocky from the coral, but if you walk 1 minute, there's a gorgeous white sand beach for swimming and snorkelling. We couldn't ask for better hosts and absolutely loved our stay here.

Great beach cottage

Close to local stores , restaurants and beaches. Bus stops right outside. There is some road noise but that is to be expected living right in town. The host/ owners were always available if needed. The patio was where we basically lived the whole time when we were not out and about. A very relaxing area for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy renting anywhere locally and exploring on your own.

Sweet beach cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Oceans. Perfect location. Walking distance to grocery store and many places to eat. About 1/2 hr drive to many attractions in the area. For us the most important factor for this trip was to be on the water and Oceans did not disappoint. As stated in the listing this house is on a busy road so there is traffic noise. It did not bother us. Thanks again for opening up your home.

Nice place to stay on the west coast.

Had a great stay at oceans. Brian and Deb were really great. Every thing was great. The only thing I didn't care for was the road noise in front of the house but we live in the country so we're not accustom to much traffic. But probably not an issue for a person who lives in the city. Besides that it was all good. Enjoy your trip.

Lovely beach house

Oceans is a beautiful house just steps from a west coast beach. The house has everything necessary for a great stay--well-equipped kitchen, toiletries, lots of towels, snorkeling and swimming equipment. All you need to bring is your swimsuit and sunscreen! Jordans grocery store can be reached by a 5 minute walk on the beach or road and Holetown with lots of restaurants and another grocery store is just a short bus ride away. There was great snorkeling right off the beach. Debbie was an amazing host who went above and beyond to help us with details of our stay--car rental, boat tour reservation, etc. Her kindness and assistance made our stay especially pleasant.

Beautiful house, amazing hosts

We stayed at Oceans for a week and it could not have been a better experience. Debbie was such a gracious host and not only had the house generously stocked with food and essentials upon our arrival, she also made sure we were comfortable and was available for any questions or recommendations throughout our stay. The house is better than described and the photos can't do justice to how great it really is. Just steps to the beach, we were back and forth from the beautiful veranda and the beach all week. The house is also located in a great spot close to restaurants and a grocery store. We barely left and would definitely love to return again. Highly recommended

Fabulous property

Really enjoyed the three week holiday. Wonderful location right by the beach with plenty of places to visit nearby...Paynes Bay, Holetown, Speightstown, Bridgetown...all within a relatively short bus ride. The beaches and weather were just about perfect...a great escape from the misery of Britain in December! The house itself had everything we could possibly need including a VERY welcome pack which meant we didn't need to go shopping on the first day. Debbie was the perfect host, extremely helpful and even took us on a drive round the island! The only (small) downside was the traffic noise from the road outside...but this is a problem all along the west coast and not the fault of the property. Would wholeheartedly recommend!

Above and Beyond!!

Yes we could talk about cleanliness, attentiveness, even rum punch but what really stands out is the care and dedication Deb and Brian exude. Excellent location - excellent accomodations - Deb thinks of EVERYTHING anyone could need and has it provided. Truly felt like a home for our two week stay. Do follow the advice of other reviewers, they are spot on. If a little bird is patiently waiting while you eat breakfast, that is Jake. He will clean up your crumbs from the porch while you are at the beach! We even saw 7 Green Monkeys right in the yard, up to antics only monkeys can exhibit. Cheryl and Alan

Beautiful home on the stunning west coast

We had a wonderful stay at Oceans. The house was immaculate and beautifully tastefully decorated. The beach was easily accessed down a short path and there were lovely lounges on the sea wall. Great snorkelling on the reef infront of the house. The house was extremely well equipped and had everything you could think of. Debbie was an amazing host and so welcoming and helpful. There was some road noise in the house , as there is in much of Barbados, but the downstairs bedroom was the quieter. We used the local buses to get about which were easy. There is a bus stop outside. Lots of great places within easy reach. Happy hour cocktails in "Daphnes" to watch the sunset and fresh fish from the market at Paynes Bay great. I would definitely recommend this property.

A Sparkling Gem that Welcomes You to Barbados

Debbie,Brian and Rosie are outstanding hosts. From the time that you arrive to the time that you leave you feel like you are “Home away from Home” in an idyllic location. The cottage has everything that you need and more. We loved sitting on the verandah while looking and listening to the sounds of the ocean. As well, we enjoyed the sea breeze and picture perfect view on the sea wall. Very easy access to the beautiful sand beach, swimming and snorkelling. The busses were also easily accessible and easy to get around the island. The people of the island are also very friendly and helpful. Thank you Debbie and family for sharing your piece of paradise with us and your outstanding hospitality and goodies. We loved our stay at Oceans and will forever cherish our memories of our stay and already miss your beautiful home, our chats with Rosie, and the BEST Rum Punch on the Island. We hope to see you again and all the best wishes to you and your family Cherie and Jack (Winterpeg, Manitoba!)

Perfect alternative to the resort scene.

My wife and I just recently spent a week at this property for our 20th wedding anniversary. We had a fabulous time! Debbie is very good at communicating every step of the way. When we arrived we found the house to be very clean and well appointed with all the amenities we could of asked for. Debbie was there to explain everything to us and answer any questions that we had. Both my wife and I really enjoyed The laid-back nature of this property. It is a great alternative to the resort scene, as it allowed us to really be able to get a taste of what the island is all about. It's very convenient, as it only takes a few steps to reach the beach. If you stay at this location you will definitely want to either rent some form of transportation, or just hire a taxi so that you can really get out and enjoy all the many things there is to see. Our anniversary trip was absolutely fabulous and I would highly recommend this property.

Family Holiday

Oceans Beach House is in a perfect location for swimming and snorkelling, which our family of three enjoy. My husband swam with a turtle, which we saw most mornings and afternoons and I saw many colourful fish including a Parrot Fish. The house is equipped with beach chairs, snorkelling gear and plenty of beach towels. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise especially the homemade Rum Punch, the best I tasted on the island (thank you Debbie for replacing this when I ran out). We loved sitting on the decking watching the birds including a humming bird and the boats sail by in the morning and afternoon. We spent 5 of our 13 days holiday on the South Coast (St Lawrence Gap) but couldn't swim in the sea due to the Sea Weed and rough waters, so couldn't wait to get back to "Oceans Beach House" to end the last few days of our holiday relaxing and snorkelling. Thank you Debbie and Brian for letting us stay at your wonderful Beach House. The Eltham Family

3 relaxing weeks.

We have just returned from one of our best holidays ever. Debbie, Brian, children and Rosie are the ultimate hosts, there if you need them but not intrusive. The beach house is amazing, we will definitely miss the beautiful view everyday from the wrap around deck and lazing in the hammock. The house is equipped with everything and more that you will need for your stay and the decor is beautiful. Having a beach on the doorstep is the icing on the cake where you can snorkel on the reef with such a variety of fish and a turtle or have a ‘sea bath’ on the more sandy part. There wasn’t a day we didn’t partake in both. The house is perfectly situated on a quiet stretch of beach and we were lucky enough to watch hundreds of baby turtles released within walking distance. If you don’t want to take a bus then we recommend you hire a car and get to see all that Barbados has to offer. Thank you for your hospitality and hope to be back again soon, Emma, Tony and Will x

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Allan

Host profile image
Brian & I are both Barbadians going back a few generations and have been married for 20 years.We operate a dairy farm on the island at our Plantation in St. John. We both were educated in Barbados and then furthered our education in London, UK and Canada. We have 3 Children, a boy and 2 girls who are avid surfers.

Why they chose this property

This property is an ideal location at a great price. The house itself has a lot of character and is the typical Caribbean style with a bit more flair. Our aim is to offer simple, clean, affordable accommodation with all the amenties to make your holiday great.

Many moons ago the area use to be a small family farm and has been in the family for generations. The basic structure was brought from Guyana and was originally only one level, which was on stilts. We renovated the property adding on the top level and filling in the bottom level to increase its size.

What makes this property unique

On bus route to main towns
Very close to supermarket, restaurants etc
Located on a quiet beach mostly comprising of high end villas.
