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!

1st if all want to thank Grantley. I enjoyed having conversations with him.We went to relax and get away and Little Reef delivered as usual. This is our 4th time in Barbados and Fitts Village is a great location to stay at. We took the yellow bus at our door to go shopping and it was very convenient.Snorkeling and catamaran views right in front of us. Very quiet in the evening. Will be back again. I have a lots of picture to keep me going until the next visit.

Sally, Micheal and Grantley were all friendly and welcoming. Sally answered my questions right away. This is an excellent spot if you want a beach vacation with snorkeling. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials. Plenty of beach and bath towels are provided. The only below average thing was the mattresses.

Thank you for your review and we are glad you were satisfied with our care and service. We were a little surprised with your comment about the beds as we have had positive feed back from guests especially our master bedroom bed which is super king size and of considerable quality. But I suppose demands are different and if one has a bad back or is elderly requirements differ.

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!

About the host

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.
