So you're looking for a vacation apartment to rent in Barbados! ... or maybe a little bit more information about Barbados ....
Well maybe I can help you out .... I built a little place with two apartments for rent on the
West Coast of Barbados a few years ago that's available for vacation rentals.
The reason I built this website is to let you know that the apartments are available and an alternative to expensive hotels or villas.
Where are the apartments located?
On the West coast of Barbados between Holetown and Speightstown. Bridgetown the capital is about nine miles away and the airport is about seventeen miles from the property.
Are the apartments on the beach?
Gibbs or (Gibbes) Beach .. different spelling same beach, is only about a ten minute walk away, if you don't know the area it's a peaceful, quiet beach that has some of the best swimming to be found in Barbados.
Can I save money renting an apartment directly from the owner?
The short answer is, yes!
Why is it cheaper to rent an apartment in Barbados from the owner?
Because renting from the owner cuts out all of the middlemen's commissions ... most people don't realize how many people want a bit of the rental price, it adds up to a hefty chunk.
If you decide to rent from me (hopefully) or someone else, please check them out to make sure you're going to get what they offer and if satisfied go for it.
The other big advantage in renting from the owner is that many owners are flexible between the rate they advertise and the price they'll accept after a bit of discussion.
I know I've done it many times.
Owners love repeat visitors ....
Even if they only come every few years, because in between visits they've been telling their friends about the great vacation they had in Barbados and where they stayed, providing word of mouth advertising, the best kind.
So .......
If you like the idea of saving money, and who doesn't, renting a self contained vacation apartment in Barbados directly from the owner is the most economical way to do it.
The money saved could be well spent on other things such as ......
a car rental to see more of the real Barbados
dining out and entertainment
diving or snorkeling
duty free gift shopping
golfing at one of the beautiful courses
You could even save enough money to extend your vacation in Barbados .
To sum things up, if you want to save money on your vacation and if you are the adventurous type that likes to get off the beaten path and do your own thing you might be interested in finding out more about my Barbados rental property.
I'll try to make the tour of this site as helpful as I can by providing a few links of things that I have seen or done, and many links to various places and services in Barbados.
