The condo was glorious. It was spacious and very well appointed with loads of towels, A/C in all rooms, tea/sugar/spices and all necessary kitchen appliances and amenities provided.The view to the beach was stunning and unobstructed with comfy furniture on the waterfront balcony. The pool was also beautiful and well maintained. The beach in front of the condo is a bit narrow, however…The walk slightly north to the beach of St. James is approx 4min on the road (or can be accomplished at low tide on the beach). Chairs with food and drinks are available on the wide and spacious St. James beach.There is also a very convenient, fully equipped Massy supermarket a short bus/taxi drive north. It has a very wide selection of grocery items and alcohol.And finally, the bus system on the island is fabulous, and a great way to meet the kind and lovely locals. There is a bus stop just a 1 minute walk from the condo.Anne, our host, was second to none. She responded quickly and thoroughly to all of our questions.

Waterside 404 Heaven

This condo on the beach is just heavenly. From the waves crashing, to the decor and the pure comfort you feel immediately at home. And home is how we made it. Breakfasts on the deck, fresh fish dinners from Fish, Fish and More Fish steps away, this condo is perfectly outfitted and Anne is just the most awesome host. Nothing is overlooked, the location is stellar, it’s private and a perfect retreat. I would book again in a nanosecond.

Gorgeous apartment on Payne’s Beach

The apartment was fantastic - large and beautifully furnished with comfortable king sized beds. Anne Smith is an amazing host and she had thought of everything to make our stay perfect. She was so generous in giving us advice on places to visit, restaurants, supermarkets etc. Nothing was too much trouble. Sonia the housekeeper is lovely too. There was a welcome package of provisions when we arrived. The apartment is on the beach with a large veranda overlooking the ocean - beautiful sunsets perfect for sundowners! The pool area was great - never busy. We didn’t make it to the gym so no idea what that was like. Parking was easy. Judy on security was very helpful. All in all a wonderful place to stay and we would love to return.

In a word - EXCEPTIONAL

This is one of those times when you don't want to leave a review because you don't want others finding out about the gem you have found. But Anne was such a wonderful host we couldn't do that. Waterside 404 is an exceptional property. The home itself is wonderful - huge space, amazing patio, great kitchen, all modern appliances, etc. All in great working condition (including the AC) and decorated and maintained at a much higher level than we are used to seeing in rental accommodations (there was even a wok frying pan!). The building itself is exceptionally maintained, which means a lot for a property located on the water as they are bombarded with moisture and salt in the air. Great parking and security, truly lovely staff and a pool that can't be beat, right next to the sea. The place was so good that it made us completely lazy and we barely left the property. This was also made possible by the fact that Holetown is a super short drive away. Anne, thank you for sharing your amazing home with us. When accommodations are this good, they become one of the most memorable part of your vacation!

We had a great time in this beautiful apartment. The view from the balcony is absolute stunning! Also Paynes Bay is a perfect place, just a few minutes to nice beaches and restaurants. I highly recommend the Cliff restaurant, amazing food, perfect atmosphere but the prices are, how to say, not so nice… it was a pleasure to have contact to Anne, she is so kindly, I would loved to met her. She provided all the needed informations and I loved her writing style. Thank you Anne!

Fabulous Property and location

The property did not disappoint. Very easy check in process and clean on arrival. Being a fourth floor apartment the views of the beach and sunset are unrivalled. A quick walk to the Cliff or a hop on the bus to Holetown and beyond was very easy with the stop being two minutes from the door. Great suggestions from Anne for restaurants. One we haven’t visited before so that was a plus. We have been a few times now to Barbados and couldn’t recommend this property more highly. For us being able to sit on the balcony with a morning coffee and being free to do and eat what we want is the best. We would definitely come here again and are already looking at possible dates for next year. Maybe this time tie in with some cricket!

Barbados Getaway

My wife and I had visited Barbados several times previously but our friends were new to the island. 404 Waterside proved to be a wonderful find. The unit is lovely and beautifully furnished. I especially appreciated that the bedrooms were essentially equivalent-it's always uncomfortable deciding which couple gets the "better" room when this is not the case. Anne provided a generous welcome package enabling us to put off our grocery run. We weren't blessed with great weather-uncharacteristically our first 4 days were quite cloudy with intermittent rain. The covered balconey overlooking the pool and ocean was a great asset, allowing us to enjoy the beach while staying dry. Access to the ocean is a bit tricky as there is considerable coral in the immediately adjacent water making it harder to swim there. The unusually rough surf eroded the beach making it hard to reach the water from the pool area, but a quick walk down the sideawalk heading south solved that problem. We did not rent a car but protected parking is available for those who do. Taxi fare ranged from $15USD to the Holetown area, to $40+ to the St Lawrence Gap and south. Be aware that taxis are strictly cash so bring enough if going that route. There are several good restaurants within walking distance. Jordan's, a neighborhood grocery store, is located 1 mile south, and Massey, a more upscale and expensive store, 1.6 miles north. Both offer free shuttle service from store to home which was very helpful. We have rented many vacation properties over the years. 404 Waterside ranks at the top of the list.
