Safe, clean and a great place to stay. It would be great to have laundry facilities if staying for an extended period but otherwise it was perfect.

Homey

Our unit was very comfortable and met all our needs. Off the main highway it was quiet but easily accessible if you like walking or have a car. To top off the positives, the host/owner Robin is an absolutely wonderful person! Attentive and quickly reactive to any concern or request. Hats off too to the acting property manager Ash who seems to work 24 hours a day. We hope to return in the very near future!

Rhema was an excellent concierge. I love how she planned my activities. I really enjoyed my driver/tourist guide Danny. Thank you Danny for an unforgettable night. She has giving me a lifetime experience I will never forget. When I come back I would request for Rhema as my concierge and Danny as my tourist guide again. Thank you Rhema and Danny for this life changing experience. 5 Stars

Wonderful and peaceful stay

lovely 1 bedroom apartment with a grocery store close by, with buses near also. Rhema the local site manager was very pleasant to deal with and receptive to our inquiries very quickly. The apartment had the necessary amenities that one would need, the only real draw back to a long stay like we had of 6 weeks would be a larger fridge, that would have be a better option than the mini fridge, but for shorter stays the smaller fridge would be sufficient. Tv and internet works flawlessly, cleaning was done weekly with new linens and towels. Due to the location a car would be beneficial as the villa is located up Holders hills, if you enjoy walking like we do, it wasn't an issue to walk up and down to the beach's, which were located 10 to 15 minutes walk from the villa, also there is buses that run up and down the hill, check the local running time has its about every hour or so,. In speaking with the other guests who stayed in the other apartments while we there, the other guests were also impressed with their accommodations. Overall we highly recommend the Villa for anyone who is looking at staying here and look forward to return trip.

2 weeks at Holder’s Hill

We were very impressed by the responsiveness of the property manager Ashley. She replied promptly to emails and would also show up in person for our issues when needed, and there were a few issues. E.g., the bed was uncomfortably firm enough that it left my wife somewhat sore the entire trip, even after we were able to soften it a bit with a comforter Ashley provided and blankets. The couch was the only other sleeping option but it was just as firm; it could probably be replaced by more comfortable seating, as well. The tv didn't work multiple days but Ashley did come and get it going. Water regularly pooled in the bathroom by the toilet so we had to use the mat and small towels to sop it up, then took them out front to dry out and then repeated the process. It would be great to have a/c throughout the unit, access to shade like a beach umbrella for sitting out front and to have more info or instructions left like we've had at other VRBOs on local attractions or using things like the gas stove. If you go, bring your own beach towels. While there isn't a washer or dryer, we were able to easily hand wash some items in the large laundry tub. The appliances all worked well and the water pressure was good. We enjoyed several restaurants on Hwy. 1 at the base of Holder's Hill, like The Roti Den, Karibu, De Clay Oven, and Fuschia for dessert.

About the host

Hosted by Jerome Mitchell

Host profile image
Robin and Jerome-a husband and wife team that enjoys working in the hospitality industry, traveling the world and meeting people of various backgrounds and cultures. We first came to Barbados 8 years ago at the urging of a dear friend and immediately fell in love with the island. We came 3 times in that very same year. We love the beautiful people, the awesome, diverse and accessible beaches and all that there is to see and do here, which is oh so much. After our 10th visit, we discovered this wonderful property and knew that it was a place we could make a home away from home for ourselves and others who travel here. With our passion for interior design, hospitality and service, we have created various flexible spaces, that are warm, intimate and inviting, while also being spacious and functional. It gives us great joy to have people tell us how much they enjoy our hospitality, space and friendship. It is a great blessing as are the wonderful Bajan people who help us make the Holiday House Villas and Suites so magical. please come and join us for memories of a lifetime in wonderful Barbados, our island in the sun!!! All are welcome!

Why they chose this property

We love this area of Barbados because there are a range of activities to suit everyone. Between the pristine beaches, tropical wildlife, international sporting events, world-class golf courses, delicious dining and a rich local culture, this neighborhood has it all!
Paynes Bay Beach, the postcard-perfect beach of your daydreams, is a 15-minute downhill stroll from Holders Retreat. Also called "The Platinum Coast," many locals consider this to be the best beach on the island. Also within a 15-minute stroll is Daphne's, The Cliff Beach Club, and an exciting mix of trendy bars like Scarlet and 1837. Holetown and Limegrove Lifestyle Center are less than a mile away, where you will find more restaurants, bars, duty-free shopping, a large supermarket, and banks.

To the east is the Green Monkey, Sandy Lane’s most exclusive golf course; to the west, the Holders Polo Club, the first of its kind in Barbados and one of the most prestigious polo clubs in the Caribbean.

If you are in Barbados on a Sunday, we recommend you check out the delightful Holders Farmers Market, set on the grounds of the historic Holders Plantation House. Select from local art, crafts, and food to take home to your kitchens.
