Really, everything. We’d never used VRBO before so we weren’t sure what to expect. All good. The place was “as presented” and we enjoyed every minute. The staff were friendly and professional which was appreciated. The host was also very responsive when we had questions. All in all, a great vacation.
Everything seemed in order.Had to ask for a few kitchen replacements which was done promptly .Everything worked well.Would have been nice to have snorkel equipment available.
Everything was wonderful! Emma was a pleasure to communicate with and the provisions she provided were much appreciated. The kitchen had everything we needed. We chose to make our own breakfasts and lunches (after a trip to the nearby Massey grocery store) and enjoyed a combination of dinners out, getting takeout and barbecuing. The three bedrooms are very comfortable and it was nice having ensuite bathrooms for all of them. Having Tamika or Caroline come by every other day was helpful in keeping everything neat and clean. The location is amazing! We loved the patio, plunge pool and garden which are all very private and the perfect place to relax and enjoy dining al fresco. The sunsets were outstanding!! I do wish we could have seen the ocean from the patio/lounge area but the bushes and hedges block the view. I recommend having water shoes for swimming in the ocean. On the first morning I stepped on a sea urchin and that was painful! Tip: it is easier to swim out front when it is high tide. We enjoyed our week at Mahogany Pod and would not hesitate to stay there again! Thank you, Emma!
We had a beautiful stay at this amazing property! Great location the beach was amazing, the house is very clean and organized! Excellent communication with the owners and management! Will definitely visit again

Thank you so much for looking after our home and we will be thrilled to have you stay again in the future. xx
Mahogany Pod was a perfect stay for us. The house surpassed expectations and was everything and more we could have hoped for in our beach front property. The house is welcoming, stylish, clean and equipped with everything you could want or need for your stay. The beach access and sunset views are a delight and listening to the waves from the bedrooms equally so. After weighing up hotel vs house the house proves to be the winning choice providing us so much space to be able to chill out around the home with plenty of space whilst still being together. The teenagers were very impressed with the fast wi-fi too! Emma and the team at Mahogany Pod were so helpful and made our stay hassle free.The welcome groceries were particularly helpful and most definitely helped us settle quickly into our holiday without the immediate need to be dashing to the supermarket. Overall, a delightful stay and we loved borrowing your home for a few days - thank you.
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property! The pictures don’t do it justice. Everything you could possibly need is there and the location is fantastic as well. Great communication with the owners, Emma gave us lots of very useful information. Thank you for a lovely stay in Barbados.

Hi Beth, Thank you for your lovely review and also a big thanks for looking after our home so well - it will be out pleasure to have you back in the future. Enjoy the British sunshine while it lats Emma xx
We had a lovely relaxing stay. The property was nice, spacious and comfortable. It was well maintained and larger than the pictures suggest. The top balcony was great for relaxing with a drink and a book.We had a hire car for our stay and the access was easy but secure - parking was never a problem.

Lovely, well equipped home and great location. We enjoyed our stay and many of the recommendations the hostess offered. The team of staff on hand were so kind and professional (Ryan, Tamica, Carlos).
Amazing views, great location and plunge pool added bonus
This is the second time we have stayed here and always look to book here rather than anywhere else if available. Great space to relax, socialise have privacy and real home comforts. I will never get tired of chilling on the master balcony.
Thank you Emma for a wonderful stay at your beautiful house right on the beach.
The facilities and overall space were perfect for out family.
Kay the cleaner was great and we will definitely return!
Exceptional !!! Our host Emma was incredible!! Offering helpful hints from restaurants spa, etc., She was the best host we have ever had after being on VRBO for over 10 years. Don't miss out on this beautiful rental, rest assured you will be taken care of!! Thanks Emma and Ray for sharing your lovely home!!

Hi Thomas - sorry for the late response. Thank you very much for your lovely review - it was our please too have you share our home and wed be thrilled to have you back at any time. Emma and Ray xx
Wonderful property right on the beach which feels like your own slice of paradise. Local buses right outside the front of the property to transport you anywhere along the coast. Villa exceptionally maintained and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Beautiful home from home decor throughout.
The perfect home and location for our family vacation. Mahogny Pod has everything you need to enjoy Paradise. The beach is great for snorkeling or lazing in the ocean on a float. The views from the house and the upstairs decks and amazing.
The owner was a delightful and full of many suggestions to make our trip fun.
Five stars all the way around.

Thanks Cheryl- Im so glad you enjoyed MP and had a great vacation. x
My wife and I are just back from at week at Mahogany Pod. It sits directly on Paynes Bay with steps down to a beautiful beach. The house is immaculate and beautifully furnished. It has every amenity you could wish for. We had a fabulous week there cooking fresh fish on the BBQ from the local fish market (150 yds along the beach and ate at some of our favourite restaurants all a very short distance away. Emma the owner and the local management team were a joy to deal with and I couldn’t recommend the property high enough.
Everything was perfect and exactly how it was described! Emma was very helpful!

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review - I hope you had a lovely couple of days at the CRC and it's not too depressing to be back. Thank you for looking after our home and we would love to welcome you back anytime. Best wishes Emma x
The house is absolutely gorgeous, even better than the photos. It has a calming and relaxing vibe and is tastefully furnished. Plenty of space and equipped with everything you need.
We had such a lovely family holiday, our first time to Barbados and I’m sure it won’t be the last.
Communication with the owner was great. The housekeeper and manager were both very helpful during our stay.
We would love to visit again
Our stay here was remarkable. Being able to hear and see the ocean was so relaxing. We loved being able to walk right onto the beach, snorkel, go for a swim and come back with a rum punch from the fish market. Great location with easy access to a lot of places. Tamika and Emma were extremely helpful and be sure to say hi to Carl, the gardener. We hope to be back next year!
Our vacation started off poorly with missed connections and arrival delays but we stayed in constant contact with Emma and she ensured that members of our party were greeted when we arrived. The house was beautifully appointed and had everything we required for a lovely stay. Ryan, the house manager was attentive and arrived quickly when we locked ourselves out of the safe in our room. We couldn't have been more pleased with the house and the staff, and Barbados as a whole. Our group plans to return

Hi Lynn., Thank you for the positive feedback and i'm so pleased you managed to enjoy a few days after your disastrous journey. It will be our pleasure to have you all back at any time and as promised the first night will be on us to make up for the fact you missed the start of this vacation. I hope you hall ad a better journey home . Best wishes Emma x
Mahogany Pod was a home run with our family of two adults and two teens, ranking as one of our very favorite holiday rentals. The property is spotless, nicely equipped, and has a superb layout for privacy and relaxation. Its central location on the coast made exploring Barbados or just dashing to the grocery store for a forgotten item a breeze. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful morning views with our coffee on the deck, the easy access to swimming and fun snorkeling, and the peacefulness of reading in the garden. Communication with Emma and her team was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated the thoughtful selection of starter groceries and delicious banana bread after a long day’s travel. Many thanks to you all for a wonderful stay.
