Beautiful 2-Bedroom Apartment right on the beach in this tranquil little bay

Attractive upstairs apartment, in beach-side house with communal patio, leading directly onto one of the quietest and most beautiful beaches on the West Coast, with excellent swimming and snorkelling in the crystal waters of the Caribbean. Comprising 2 air-conditioned bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, the other with en-suite shower room and washing machine. There is a well-equipped modern kitchen for the chefs among your party. The lovely light sitting room, with stunning views of the Caribbean and the beach, has a cooling breeze blowing through it for most of the year. In essence perfection.
The village shopping centre and supermarket are within easy reach on foot. There are several excellent restaurants nearby, including the world-renowned Cliff. We are 1.5 km away from Sandy Lane and its world-class golf facilities. Waters sports, fishing, and glass-bottomed boats are virtually on the doorstep - and, if requested, many will pick you up from the beach.. For those who don’t wish to hire a car the bus stop is nearby, and the buses run frequently up until 11.30 pm. The apartment has Wifi internet access and on site security.
Little Reef is well situated for multiple activities. From the very beautiful beach, a few short steps away, there is snorkelling on the reef, where you may spot one of the resident turtles, meandering among shoals of brightly coloured fish. Boating and water sport activities are also on offer from operators on the way to the big resorts past Sandy Lane. Fishermen bring their daily catch into Fitts Village, just in front of Jordan's Supermarket, a five-minute walk along the beach.
For those who don’t want to miss the exploits of their favourite team, Wendy’s sports bar is just a couple of minutes away, across the road. Wendy's also have a snack bar. Alternatively there’s the Surfside bar in Holetown (15 minutes away by bus and car), a great spot for being on the beach and watching the footie at the same time. Holetown is also the place to go to if you want a bank, pizza or the larger Massy’s supermarket, which will deliver your shopping if you don't have a car. Holetown also boasts plenty of watering holes and restaurants. Bridgetown and the South Coast are around twenty minutes by car and the buses run regularly.
If you just want to chill out Little Reef’s balcony is a great place for watching the frigate birds wheeling above, maybe a fisherman making a catch, and world go by – and, if you are up early and very, very, lucky you may get a glimpse of a monkey in the nearby shack-shack tree. If you want take a tan back home Little Reef has a lovely sunny patio, or you can take the extra few steps to the beach. At the end of the day there is often nothing better than a walk along the beach or just watching a beautiful sunset and the boats making for home, while you enjoy a sundowner.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be within walking distance of Paynes Bay Beach. The apartment includes amenities such as a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.
  • Air-conditioned apartment with kitchen, washing machine and 2 bathrooms
  • 6 minutes by car from Sandy Lane Beach and 7 minutes from Carlisle Bay
Beautiful 2-Bedroom Apartment right on the beach in this tranquil little bay offers its guests barbecue grills. The front desk is open around the clock.

Great view but apartment was just ok
The draw to this place is the gorgeous location right on the beach. Watching the waves with our coffees in the morning was great, and the sunsets were beautiful. The swimming was OK. While the beach itself is sandy, it's pretty rocky once you're in the water, and it's rocky getting in. But could be solved with water shoes. Also, a warning that the waves varied a lot each day, and we did not consider it safe to swim some of the time because of how strong the surf was. Someone drowned there on our last day. Just be cautious, maybe ask a local's opinion on conditions if you're unsure. Regarding the apartment itself, we didn't care for it. It was a bit rustic, not very well equipped, and had maintenance issues. The master shower wasn't draining hardly at all when we arrived, and they didn't come to address it for 3 days. By then, my husband had spent some time trying to deep clean their drain of sand and hair with an old coat hanger so we could shower. They didn't improve things any further than my husband had, and it continued to drain slow. We didn't want to use the 2nd bathroom because it smelled like mold. The master bed was uncomfortable - too hard, and was just 2 single beds pushed together so there was a gap in the middle. We wouldn't stay here again. Also be aware that you must buy everything, even toilet paper. The owner was very nice, but there seemed to be a disconnect between him and who handles the apartment locally (she was less nice).

Location was fantastic with the beach just steps away! It just needed a few things like a TV would've been nice and screens on the windows or a screen sliding door to the deck so you could let in the nice ocean breeze. The second bathroom could use some updating updating.updatingsomupupdatupdating.overa

We stayed at little reef in October 24, and arrived after dark. We were welcomed by grantley, who and handed the keys to a clean welcoming property. Next morning we woke at sunrise and opened the large windows and were presented with the view exactly as per Richard's pictures. The apartment has all the required accessories for a stay, plus the added bonus of snorkelling equipment, and a safety float. We spent our mornings and evenings on the beach outside the door, snorkeling in an abundance of sea life including turtles. A bar restaurant is available 2 doors away which serves cocktails and reasonably priced meals. Within fitts village are a couple of car hire companies which allowed us to explore from little reef. We were truly sad to leave the apartment at the end of our stay, and whilst at the all inclusive we stayed at afterwards, we decided that next year, it will be all Little Reef. Simply Stunning

The property is in need of repairs very badly. There were roaches in the bathroom and kitchen. An AC unit would be a great addition in the Living room. It was hot so you have to leave the bedroom doors open to cool the appartment. The Iron work is rusted..... The unit need a complete refresh!

A Slice of Bajan Heaven
You could never get tired of going to bed to the sound of the waves and waking up and sipping coffee on the balcony with this stunning view. Great location with a walkable market and bar just steps away. Place is equipped with everything you need from blender to coolers and ice packs. Rooms are very spacious with own bathroom for each room. Lots of closet space. Hanging rack for wet clothes, sun loungers for the deck. Rooms have AC that works very well and can cool down the main area a bit if you leave bedroom doors open. We had everything we needed and more. Grantley (neighbor) was amazing and helpful. Richard was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Some issues with the hot water at times, but nothing too bad. Would definitely stay here again!!!!

Phenomenal view
What makes Little Reef is the incredible view. It really is wonderful looking out over the sea every breakfast and some sunsets. I would say the property is more tired and worn that the pictures show, and would benefit from some TLC and a deep clean (particularly in the 2nd bedroom). The aircon in the bedrooms was greatly appreciated and the washing machine was very handy. Little Reef was a bit further away from things than anticipated (my fault from not researching on google maps more extensively). There are a couple of overpriced (and not very good food wise) restaurants/bars within close walking distance, and one overpriced supermarket. We ended up hiring a car on our 2nd day and that made a world of difference. We tried out different beaches each day - Dover Beach, Holetown, Alleyene's Beach, Bottom Bay & Bathsheba day. It allowed us to visit lots of great beach bars and restaurants in the evening, and access to the far better Massey supermarket in Holetown. Communication with Richard was rapid and clear. Grantley was very friendly. Overall, I would definitely recommend the property if you are wanting a chilled holiday, but would recommend a car if you're wanting to go further out.

The property has a superb view. It is perched just above the ocean waves and the balcony enjoys the shade of a lovely tree with interesting birds. There is beautiful, quiet sandy beach to the left of the property that we swam at every day. Security is very good.

Centrally located and pure bliss. Wouldn't change a thing. The real highlight being the Bajan people who were so welcoming and accommodating and especially the wonderful people at Sherrie's Turtle Bottom Bar on Risk Road on the way to Wendy's. A hidden gem and must visit location on your visit to Barbados. Wednesday night Karaoke is a blast. Definitely will be returning.

We loved out stay at Upper Little Reef. The view is absolutely amazing. I loved waking up and sitting on the little day bed, sipping my coffee and watch the dawn. At low tide the beach walking is fantastic. And the snorkeling right out front a real treat. The location was great, walking distance to some really great restaurants and just a short bit to Holetown and the Marine Park, Paynes Bay fish market and Holders Hill farmers market. We also really liked that there the lighting was very good for reading. The property management and the owner were very responsive to any little ask. My husband and I stayed for four weeks. At various times we were visited by our adult sons and at another time, another couple. It was all great. We hope to stay here again.

Great value...would stay again
The true selling point for this property is two-fold: 1) the view -- it was just beautiful to have views of the ocean and the sunsets 2) just steps to go right into the ocean -- warm, clear and tranquil for the majority of the time (with the exception of a storm that came through). The property was a little worn, so not high end luxury but everything was more than fine. Again the view was just so fantastic. There is air-conditioning in the bedroom (absolutely a must) but not in the main living area. Fits Village is very quiet with not a lot of things in walking distance (there is a grocery within walking distance). The house is on the main bus line and the buses are easy to use and there is a lot within 20 minutes. We didn't have a car for our month stay and only needed a taxi once or twice. If you're looking or a relaxing place and great value this is it. If you're looking to be where the action is...well, you can get there by bus but there is not much within walking distance.
