The dining area comfortably seats 5. The full bathroom has a separate vanity with granite counter top, dressing area with mirrors and hairdryer, plus ample storage space and security chest for safe keeping of documents,valuables Condo has its own hot watersystem so there is never a shortage of hot water,(plus water is drinkable right out of the tap, as Barbados has some of the best water in the world!)

There is off street parking available and as the complex is not on the main road - No traffic noise.

The tropical garden providing a luxuriant oasis for relaxation, has wifi plus it has a freshwater pool, freshwater shower and lounge chairs, umbrellas,and is beachside - the sea, just a few steps away. Sunbed mattresses are stored in the condo for extra comfort along with some extra light weight aluminum chairs .The beach is safe for swimming, and there is a manmade reef with a huge variety of marine life very close into the shore - so snorkeling off the beach is easy - water sports available on the beach and it`s an easy few minute stroll to a beach bar -which has a steel band for happy hour on a Sunday, or the shopping centre, from which buses run every few minutes into the city centre or to places of interest. All beaches are public.
There are banks,car hire, taxis, and local inexpensive buses into Bridgetown, and 'tourist attractions' which are used by both visitors and local alike.
Holetown is 28 km from the airport, is home to many fashionable restaurants, and the upscale new Lime Grove mall. Dining and shopping are within easy walking distance, and many watersports are available on the beach at your doorstep. Nextdoor a new
beachbar sometimes plays loud music (beyond the condo's control) and the hotel plays music in the evening until 10.30 pm so one can sit and enjoy that free! There are also a couple of nightclubs and late night bars near by, and a slots bar for those who like to `gamble`a little! , plus a new dine-in cinema! in the Limegrove Lifestyle centre, for evening entertainment.
There are many different types of 'tourist attractions' such as Orchid World, the Flower Forest, Andromeda Gardens, a small rain forest, 'Welchman's Gully', a Wild Life Centre and many historic plantation homes open to the public, Plus the local parish church built in 1629 St. James' bell,, was cast by the same foundry that made the original Liberty Bell!. Harrison's Caves, provide a fascinating tour of illuminated underground caverns, and at the north of the island is the Animal flower Cave. Swimming with the endangered turtles is a very popular activity, as is scuba diving and snorkeling at Folkestone the marine park, a 10 minute walk away.

Plus the famous Sandy Lane Hotel, one of the most luxurious, and upmarket hotels worldwide, popular with the rich and famous, is just a 10 minute drive away. Holetown also has numerous bars and restaurants, ranging from fast food to bistros, and gourmet dining, and many restaurants also provide 'take out'. Plus there are street vans and stands around the area, good inexpensive food - (safe to eat)! and water is drinkable out of the tap!
Barbados offers an opportunity to experience a Caribbean lifestyle influenced by its traditional British history.The first settlers arrived in1627, and the island still retains its British Parliamentary system. It has a reliable infrastructure, and offers the comforts and safety of most Western countries.
Since the island is roughly triangular in shape, the 3 coasts offer a totally different ambience. The east coast bordered by the Atlantic ocean, is wild, rugged, beautiful, isolated, and unsuitable for swimming in most areas. The south coast, has heavy surf, and is more industrial, commercial, and has numerous fast food outlets, and local markets. The west coast, known internationally as the Platinum Coast,borders the blue Caribbean Sea, which is normally calm and suitable for all varieties of water sports.
As Barbados lies outside the hurricane belt, usual weather is blue sunny skies and white puffy clouds, normal showers being of short duration. Average daily high 30C. Sea temperature's a constant 80F.
Newly added an "invisible screen" on the balcony, so the sun is never too hot!
PLEASE NOTE - all guests are required to follow the Barbados Protocols

Absolutely perfect location on gorgeous beach. And the sea views from the front facing, large corner balcony are just stunning! Staff are so helpfull - especially Pat and Ryan. Apartment may not be the most modern but it has all the basics needed for a perfect holiday. We couldn't wish for anything more.

No 1 Palm beach condos

The location is perfect, fabulous views. Pat the property manager is fantastic. For rental purposes the property could benefit with a reduction of kitchen, furniture and personal items of the owners, and bringing up to the standard of the other units in the complex. This would help the house keeping keep on top of cleaningness. A lovely stay though.

Great location and spectacular views but……

This property is in a beautiful location right on the beach with fantastic views… however it is very old, tired, cluttered and needs a thorough decluttering and cleaning. Such a shame to report this but felt for future renters I have to as wouldn’t want them disappointed like we were.

A fantastic Location

A great service from the owners from initial enquiry to the end of the holiday. The local support team for the Condo are not intrusive but are at hand if required. The location is superb and we spent many hours enjoying the view from the balcony... Many great restaurants within minutes walk.

Perfect beach front setting with a stunning views

This was a return visit to Palm Beach but our first stay in #1 right on the beach front. The Condos are perfectly positioned to enjoy the beautiful beach,lovely quiet pool and all Holetown has to offer. The small reef has created a perfect swimming area and protects the beach with its lovely sandy bays and boardwalks to explore. The owners are proud to share their "Winter home" and have provided everything necessary for a perfect stay. Communication was prompt and a pleasure with warm welcomes from Pat and the team as always. Thank you Pat for all the "extras"it was great to be back! Thank you Dayle and George for the pleasure of using you home !

#1 is a terrific condo with a spectacular view!!

We have just returned from an unforgettable stay at #1 Palm Beach Condominiums! #1 is a clean and comfortable apartment situated just steps from the beach and a few minutes walk, from the best restaurants and shops in Holetown! The apartment was extremely well kept and had all the towels, linens and appliances to suit our needs. What really stood out to us was the unbeatable views from the balcony!! #1 is the closest unit to the beach which made for breathtaking and unobstructed views of the water and sunsets. Not only was the location perfect but so were the people. Pat, the property manager was extremely helpful and Dayle, the owner was always reachable and very attentive to our needs! The locals were very friendly and the activities offered just outside the property were well worth it. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to others. You definitely cannot beat the view, the location and the wonderful hospitality!!

Beautiful beach side Condo in Holetown

We have stayed in Condo #1 Palm Beach, Holetown many times and love it. It is situated right beside the beach and has a balcony with wonderful views of the beach and sea. It is situated in beautiful tropical gardens with a private pool. The condo has a large sitting room/dining room,a very well equipped kitchen, bedroom and bathroom/shower room. There are many fans throughout the apartment and air conditioning in the bedroom so it is always cool. There are many bars, restaurants and shops nearby. There is maid service, the gardener who takes very good care of the garden and the Manageress lives on site and so is always available for any advice. We have been staying here for over 20 years and love it.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

We stayed in #1 Condo wanting 17 nights of total relaxation and we got it. This Holetown condo has the best location and view, straight out onto the beach front...and you are into the clear warm sea within seconds of leaving the condo. The apartment is comfortable and has everything you need to enjoy a self catering holiday. There is a lovely private garden and pool just to the side of the condos. A slight disappointment was that quite a lot of the local bars and restaurants were closed whilst we were there, refurbishing or staff taking a break in anticipation of the start of high season. It is so easy to get a bus to nearby resorts and the locals are friendly and helpful. There is a supermarket just over the road and a cheaper larger one in the town of Fitts, a short bus ride away. The weather was fantastic and the nearby beach and warm sea made this one of our best holidays ever. Thank you Dayle and George ....

Fantastic location in Holetown

My husband and I stayed for 2 weeks in this beachfront condo in June. The condo is well equipped for a self catering holiday. It is a comfortable and clean apartment that has an amazing view from the balcony, right across the beautiful beachfront in Holetown, exactly as pictured. You can walk to the supermarket and restaurants and the Lime Grove mall in 5 mins or less depending on how fast you walk. The bus stop is also a few mins. walk if you want to go to Oistins or Bridgetown, which we did many times. You can also stroll along the beachfront right outside the back door, in both directions, it is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely like to come back another time during the busy period as it was very quiet in June, not many people around at all. The sea was crystal clear and the weather was hot. I would definitely recommend this area and this apartment for its superb location for a lovely beach holiday.

1 Palm Beach Condos, wonderful holiday destination

We have just returned from another great holiday at #1, Palm Beach Condos in Holetown. We have been staying here for many years now and cannot imagine staying anywhere else. The condo is in a block of just 14 and is superbly situated just feet from the beach. It has a large balcony overlooking the beach and beautiful tropical gardens which are very well maintained. There is also a lovely quiet pool. The condo is very well furnished and comprises a very well equipped kitchen, large sitting room, bedroom, bathroom and dressing area, as well as the large balcony with fantastic views. There is air conditioning and plenty of fans so it is pleasantly cool. Within easy walking distance there are many bars and restaurants, as well as a large supermarket and lots of other shops and banks. The Lime Grove Centre is very close by and well worth a visit. The manageress lives in one of the condos and so is able to give advice on places to visit. We look forward very much to our 3 weeks here every year - it is a perfect holiday destination.

Beautiful Condo with Wonderful Sea/Beach Views

We have been staying at #1 Palm Beach for many years now and always look forward to returning. It has the most wonderful views of the sea and beach and the sunsets can be amazing. We love it for its privacy and location and we have never found anything better anywhere. #1 condo is very well looked after and has everything you need in the kitchen to eat in if you wish. We always eat in a few times during our stay. There is one large bedroom with air conditioning and a lovely living room. The balcony is just wonderful either to sit and read a book or people watch or to just look out at the sea. We have always been very well looked after by Pat who lives in one of the condos and is the manager, she is very helpful should you need any information about the island. There are 14 condos in all which share a lovely garden and private swimming pool. It is very close to all amenities, a very well stocked supermarket no more than 10 minutes walk away and many restaurants within a 5 minute walk. What could be better. To get around the island we usually use the local buses which are always entertaining (especially the yellow buses) and very inexpensive. We have always found everybody very helpful and if you are uncertain they make sure you get off at the right stop. With our thanks to the owners Dayle and George and we are already looking forward to our holiday next year.

Beautiful Views of Fabulous Sunsets

This condo is situated directly overlooking the lovely beach at Holetown. You don't need a car as you're within a leisurely walk of a variety of shops and restaurants . Or stroll along the sand for a relaxed beer and something delicious to eat at one of the beachfront eateries. Perfect! The balcony is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the afternoon sun until it disappears over the horizon.

Heaven !!

Again, Barbados and Palm Beach Condo #1 do not disappoint !! We have been to Barbados many times over the last 15 years...twice now at Condo #1 on the West coast of the island. The location is beyond perfect. With the new jetty, the beach is now 3 times the previous size. Swimming is wonderful and 30 feet from the door ! We were fortunate to have clear weather and no rain but the addition of the mall, and movie theatre just a minutes walk away, would provide ample to do should one encounter a rainy day. Wonderful resturants within walking distance. We love Surfside for a casual , on the beach experience, and Zaccios just a few steps farther down the beach( a little more upscale ). Helen took very good care of us in Pats absence. She kindly had first day supplies in the kitchen for us. The interior of the condo was unchanged. Comfortable and had all you would need. Cannot say enough about the location of this property. It truly is right on the beach as pictured. The garden area swimming pool was always clean and refreshing although we did spend most of our time lounging and sunning on the beach on the chaise lounges provided. We took a day to drive to the Barbados Wildlife Preserve. Always fun ! Many baby monkeys being carried around by their mama's. And of course a visit to Earthworks Pottery. Such beautiful pieces that they will kindly pack for easy travel home. And of course the West Coast...Stunning scenery ! Another wonderful vacation in Barbados ! The Maffetts, Pennsylvania, USA

Beautiful beachside condo in Holetown

We have been staying at #1 Palm Beach for many years now and it is a perfect place for a holiday, It is in a fantastic situation, directly overlooking the beach which is literally a few feet away. We enjoy sitting on the large balcony having breakfast in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, watching the activities on the beach. The condo is set in beautiful tropical gardens which are immaculately kept, and there is a lovely private pool with plenty of beach chairs. #1 is very well furnished with a large sitting room/dining room with television, and a modern well equipped kitchen with a large fridge/freezer, gas oven, microwave, toaster, blender and lots of glass, China, cutlery and pots and pans.. There are plenty of fans throughout which makes it very comfortable. It is situated in the centre of Holetown, with numerous bars, restaurants, shops and a large supermarket nearby. There are many activities on the beach, which has been very much improved in the last couple of years. There is a maid service every other day and Pat, the manageress, lives in one of the condos so is on hand with any advice. We love coming here each year. Everything is so relaxed and quiet. at night it is lovely to hear the gentle lapping of the sea and we are looking forward very much to our next visit.

Fantastic Beach Front Condo!!

We have stayed at Palm Beach Condos a few times now but were able to rent No.1 for my partner's 50th Birthday in November! As you can see this condo couldn't be any closer to the beach!! It was lovely to be able to sit on the balcony watching the sun set or just people watching. You don't come across many places like this to stay on the west coast. The condo is equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. I had asked Pat (who lives there permanently) to arrange for a birthday cake to be made. Bless her, she did a great job for me even though the bakery charged a small fortune it was well worth it!! It's not just the location of these condos that makes it such a wonderful place to stay but the people too. Dayle & George (the owners) had thoughtfully sent a birthday card to my partner as did Pat. What a lovely touch!! We really do feel so at home here. There are some super restaurants close to the apartment or should you get the urge to cook, there is a great supermarket 5 minutes walk away. Vita comes in to clean the apartment a few times a week and is always so welcoming. Like many other people, we have come to love this place. The fact that people return year after year speaks for itself. I'm almost reluctant to write a review as I don't want too many people to know about it!! Great value for money!! Can't wait to return!!

Great Vacation in a Prime spot on the beach

Prime spot on the island having breakfast with the monkeys and watching the hummingbirds in the garden whistle by. The property was clean and there was enough cooking utensils to make for some good cooking. It was just a 2 minute walk away from the supermarket which had everything that you would need including a pharmacy. Would love to go back there again one day.

Fantastic Beach Front Property!

Having stayed at The Mango Bay Hotel (next door) we knew exactly where the apartment was. It's a fabulous location right on the beach but close to the bars and restaurants in 1st & 2nd Street. That said we never heard any noise from the bars - only the waves crashing on the beach! The apartment is very well equipped and has a maid service provided every other day. You have the beauty of having cooking facilities and use of a fridge as well as some of the services of a hotel. The pool area was well maintained and there were plenty of sun beds available. We spent a great day at Mullins Beach as well as eating out at the beach side restaurant one night. The food was as always fabulous. We also splashed out for the Sunday brunch at the nearby Sandy Lane. Expensive but worth it for a treat! You just won't need to eat for the next few days! Other restaurants worth a mention are Cariba and The Mews. Great meals and service in both. There are so many great restaurants in and around Holetown you really are spoilt for choice which is why we opted to stay in an apartment rather than an expensive all inclusive hotel. We also had a great trip swimming with the turtles - great fun! A must is a visit to Lexy's piano bar too. All in all Holetown is a great place and this apartment is in one of the beach locations to enjoy it! Hope to return soon!!

We had an absolutely wonderful time in your home! Absolutely perfect...even the couple days of rain did not stop us. Did Earthworks, the wild animal refuge, swam endlessly, even in the rain. You are so fortunate to have such a beautiful winter option! We certainly will be back

Delightful stay July-Aug 2010 for my family

Overall this property is as listed, very pleasant and smack bang on the beach, any closer and your feet would be wet. The views from the balcony are a delight and we spent every morning out on it having our breakfast and at night watched the sunset while having a few drinks. We even ventured to having a few evening meals out on the balcony as well - romantic and dreamy as we listened to the gentle sound of the waves breaking on the beach and the little frogs whistling away in the background. The condo itself can easily sleep four and is well equiped with pleanty of the necessary. There are quite a few restaurants nearby that serve good food and transport is close at hand. The condo units have their own pool which is set in very nice gardens and is a pleasant alternative to bathing in the sea. All in all the condo is the best placed unit in the facility. The only minor annoyance during our stay was that of the staff at the nearby Mango Beach Hotel starting early in the morning with their chatter and the noise of cuttlery and plates being placed on the tables for breakfast but as said it was only a minor thing. The Mango Beach Hotel also has nightly music entertainment but it is quite pleasant background stuff which helped with the ambience while on the balcony having drinks and always finished early. Overall I would have to say that this property is well situated and with one of the best views in Barbados - you cannot but enjoy your stay. Would I recommend it YES, would I go back YES.

About the host

Hosted by Dayle Rasmussen

Host profile image
We were a retired couple who spent our winters here for the past 30 years, I live the rest of the year in Canada now. I love Barbados, the friendly people, the great climate, ('hurricanes hardly happen' - last one was more than 50 years ago) - the ease of living here. Everything I need is close by, including grocery shopping, etc. Restaurants are close by when ever I wish to eat out,and some have delivery and take out - a life style without troubles!

Why they chose this property

Purchasing this condo was a 'love at first sight' property - fabulous panoramic view, easy walkable proximity to shops, restaurants, beach, on our doorstep, garden,pool- good security, good island infrastructure, and drinkable water out of the tap!! stable economy and reliable banking, friendly people, -a unique, once in a lifetime opportunity! We'd been staying in hotels on the island since 1975, and came to realize that there was no other place on earth which offered all that Barbados could provide. It seemed beyond crazy to ignore the once in a once in a lifetime opportunity that came along when we found our condo winter home. We realized that if we didn't purchase it there and then, we would regret it for the rest of our lives! So I've lived there happily ever since and only return to Canada when the weather warms up!
