About this property

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!

Paradise on Earth

Little Reef is a little piece of paradise on earth. A great location away from the crowds with easy access to restaurants and shopping. The views from the private balcony are stunning. Little Reef has everything you need for a relaxing, peaceful stay. Check-in was easy and they helped arrange taxi to/from airport to make everything a breeze!

AMAZING BEACH!

We had such a wonderful stay at Little Reef. Sally was an excellent host. All questions were answered promptly. She set up our transportation to and from the airport which was so helpful! The apartment is well stocked with cooking utensils, towels, and a much appreciated starter supply of things you will need. It was great having a washing machine for towels and such. The internet worked perfectly. The beach out front of Little Reef is absolutely gorgeous and has the best snorkeling! We saw so many different species of fish, large schools of colorful fish, parrotfish, sea urchins, and more! We found the buses difficult to navigate so we used taxis which were very reasonable priced!

New year at Little Reef

Spent 9 days over the new year at little reefThis was our third visit and we will be backThis is the perfect place to stay if you enjoy peace and quiet and enjoy the ocean without being too far away from the action.New addition since our last visit is the Bikini beach bar just a few yards up the beach Great cocktails at a reasonable ( for Barbados) prices.Waking up to the sound of the waves and having arum or two at sundown watching the Sunset is priceless.Michael was very helpful and Grantley next door looked after us as well.Very difficult to find anything like Little ReefEnjoy

Wonderful Venue

We had the most amazing week. I’m certain there couldn’t be a more beautiful place on the whole island. We loved being able to hear the ocean at night even with the doors closed. The cottage was extremely clean and very quaint. If I could add any suggestion of improvement, it would only be to possible rig some sort of mosquito net so the doors could stay open all night. We are from Arkansas so we were quite familiar with the little pests. Thanks for sharing your lovely place!

Fantastic Location

We stayed at Little Reef for one week in June 2024. We were 4 adults sharing the space. We thoroughly enjoyed both the location and home. It truly felt like a home. The beach couldn't have been any closer. Check in was very smooth and both Michael and Grantley were very helpful. We enjoyed swimming and snorkelling directly off of the patio. The kitchen was very well stocked. Our only suggestion would be for an update of the bathrooms and kitchen. We would definitely stay again in Fitt's Village. It was very easy to find our way to wherever we wanted to go.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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 ❤️

About the host

Hosted by Sally Stalker

Host profile image
I am Irish and live on the beautiful island of Grenada 45 minutes by air from Barbados. My family has owned Little Reef for over forty years and they still visit the apartment. The beach is stunning and to step from the veranda to the patio and on to the beach is a wonderful experience.

Why they chose this property

Little Reef is special to my family as each generation comes to know its charm and unique position.

What makes this property unique

Immediate access to the platinum beach is little Reef's unique feature and the indoor outdoor feel of the apartment allows for maximum experience of the stunning view. The sunsets are unbelievably beautiful. Fishermen catch sprats in their nets giving a timeless feel to the ambiance.
