I enjoyed our stay at this property. I normally would stay with family when I visit, but I really wanted to have a bit more of quiet this trip, and this property did not disappoint! Just a short walk from the beach, and a few great eating spots within walking distance- you can't lose! I will definitely stay here again.
I stayed for 5 days and the place exceeded my expectations. Everything was as described and was less than 5 mins away from the beach and Crane Hotel. Highly recommend and will stay there again next visit.
Good sized apartment, & well equipped. It's an easy 5 minute walk to Crane Beach. There are a few decent local restaurants, including Delons which is about 10 minutes walk. Buses run about every 30 minutes towards Bridgetown, so a car is absolutely necessary. More difficult to get up the west coast. The only negative is that there is some noise from the main road, but it didn't bother us too much. Great communication with Michael & Laura.
Excellent hosts, helpful, friendly and attentive to anything that came up. We spent 3 weeks at Cranemist. Well appointed apartment in good repair. Very near a lovely beach (200m at most). Felt very safe and at home. Really enjoyed being out of the city but still had good access. Good local restaurants in immediate vicinity. We will return to Barbados and this property in particular. Best island vacation ever, and at 60 we have been to a few!
Nice and clean property. Whenever we had a request Michael was there to help us. Very prompt in responding.
A little noisy because of the road but you get used to it soon.
Andria was also helpful with the aeroport pick up and drop off.
We would return for sure!
Thank you both!
Both Michael and Angels were amazing hosts, helped us get groceries on our first day and gave us really useful information about getting around on the buses.
The beach is a 5 minute walk away, it's beautiful but you must be aware when swimming as the waves are massive.
You are a short drive / bus to Malibu beach which is beautiful and you can swim there!!
The only niggle is he Aircon didn't work in my room, it only worked as a fan. I moved a stand alone fan into my room for my stay and this worked for me. But it might be worth looking into prior to the next booking.
Other than that it was a wonderfully situated flat, super clean, responsive and helpful hosts. Would recommend!
Crane Apartments were absolutely ideal for the month I stayed on beautiful Barbados. It was 5 star clean, 5 star service from Michael and Andrea, owners. They are simply amazing! We had a couple small issues, whichthey had attended to same day!! Just an over WONDERFUL expeience.
Crane is on quieter coast. I rented a car for the month to travel all around the island, so the apartment was excellent base to do this. I also felt, as did my numerous guests that visited during the month. The flat is very spacious, with lots of opportunity for cooking, if you like to do so on holiday! I like to eat out,but theete is impressive array of pots n pans, etc. Large fridge to house the bottles of duty free gin. A brilliant utility room off the kitchen with inside drying line and outside line too.The apartment is great and I would highly recommend it. 10 out of 10!
Our first trip to Barbados was enjoyable! The rental accomodation was clean and exactly as described in the listing. Michael and Andria are lovely hosts. Very thoughtful and kind! The location is perfect for travelers who want something away from the hustle and bustle of the tourists and city. The area is quiet and serene. The beaches are just across the street. The 5 minute walk to the beach is lovely. The beaches were too rough for swimming but we had some memorial adventures exploring the beaches and caves (walking). We ended up renting a car to get around - I recommend renting a car in advance to see the island. It was hard to find an available car last minute. Once we had the car we were able to reach beaches, towns, restaurants in minutes. The apartment has air conditioning in the bedrooms only. The cross breeze cooled the apartment down somewhat but it did get quite hot on a couple of days. We enjoy the heat but it might not be for everyone. The wifi was perfectly reliable - we had to work during the first few days of our visit. We were able to work, attend all virtual meetings with no problem whatsoever. We recommend this rental! We will be back!
L'appartement est identique à la description.Grand et propre. Air climatisé dans les chambres.Michael est vraiment sympathique et répond toujours très rapidement.Belle plage à moins de 5 minutes à pied.Aucun point négatif, je recommande assurément et en plus les prix sont excellents.Que du positif pour ma famille qui y est restée 10 jours,Merci Michael :)
My friend and I were looking for the perfect place to stay to escape winter and work remotely for a few months, and found this gem. Michael was incredibly flexible and welcoming; he ensured we had tables to use as desks, confirmed the wifi speeds (they are incredibly fast!) and responded to our questions promptly. While we were under curfew for much of our stay, the quick walk to the beach, the fun waves, and the beautiful views in the surrounding area was perfect--and the nearby baker at Pekish made it all that much more wonderful. Cutters and smoothies were also within walking distance and so delicious. We took buses into Oistins and Bridgetown and they were easy to get the hang of, and everyone was so friendly. Would definitely recommend this as a place to stay!
Très bel endroit près de la plage. Dans un coin tranquille. Logement avec beaucoup d'espaces.
Excellente communication. Ils répondent très rapidement.

Greater value than most hotels
My daughter and I travelled from the USA and stayed here for one week. It was a great experience. Michael and his wife are very considerate, flexible, sociable and hospitality hosts. The unit was spacious, well maintained and ideally located. The courtesy airport pick up and drop off speak to the generosity of the hosts. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience with zero complaints. Whenever returning to Barbados, our family is likely to stay here again because of the greater value received when compared with most hotels.
