Lock box with code to provide access to key to the apartment upon arrival at any time. Key also provides access to side gates providing access to the rear of the apartment. Guests have access to the entire grounds of the property. Apartment has its own washing machine however no dryer. There is a high capacity clothes horse in the apartment; there is also access to an environmentally friendly solar clothes line dryer at the rear of the apartment. Apartment offers complete privacy with private parking and access. There is an upper level apartment and another rental studio on property. I live at the upper level however I am a full time employed engineer and am only on property late in the evenings and on weekends. However when I'm on property, I love to chat with guests about Barbados, places to see, thing to do and am generally available to answer any queries or resolve any problems that may pop up in the apartment. There may be guests in the studio apartment - also on the ground floor, which also presents additional opportunities for guest interaction. A lovely cleaning lady will come by weekly to clean apartments, change bed linen etc. You will be well taken care of. Apartment is at the end of the road on a ridge (at a cul de sac). Result is that the there is no passing traffic or constant stream of traffic resulting in a very quiet neighborhood. Being elevated on a ridge results in the ability to see beautiful sea views, even from road level. To the rear of the property is one acre of steeply sloping undeveloped land, which: is heavily forested/vegetated, adds to the privacy of the property, and is lovely and calming to look at. The property is indeed located in a residential area; I have several friendly neighbours. Neighbors tend to congregate at the beach at Fitts Village early in the mornings and late in the afternoon - the beach can at times be a community meeting ground of sorts. The neighborhood also has several other vacation apartments, so day by day especially during the winter season several overseas guests make up the community. Demand for occupancy is high during the winter season so book soon! Indeed a guest staying at the apartment will experience that home away from home feeling, and what life is like for the average Barbadian on a day by day basis. The close proximity (and convenience) of Jordan's supermarket, a doctor's office, pharmacy, restaurants, and other shopping is one of the things really loved about the neighborhood. The Fitts Village Esplanade/beach park is also a definite plus; the benches/gazebo allow a visit to the beach for a "sand free" picnic or get together. 5 minutes walk to bus stops that head north towards Holetown or South towards Bridgetown. Both of these towns are roughly 7 miles away from the property - roughly a 10 minute bus ride. Once a booking is made, detailed directions to the property will be sent by email. If you wish to see the sites of the island then I suggest that you rent a car on those days. Most of my past tenants have tended to stick within walking distance of the neighborhood as the sea and all amenities needed to have a fantastic stay are within walking distance. Few things to note: a) The apartment has only one bedroom. There is a queen size bed and a couch in the bedroom. b) Though the apartment is on the ground floor, the property is located at the base of a ridge; thus the land of the property has a significant slope. That being said; there are two separate stairs and a total of seven (7) steps from the driveway to the patio of the apartment. c) Unfortunately there is no wheelchair access. d) There is no land line telephone in the apartment. e) High speed wireless internet is available and included in rental fee f) Check out is 12:00pm on the day of departure. g) Air conditioning is solely available in the bedroom h) No back up power in the event of failure of public supply.
