Summary: We spent 3 weeks at DeeDee Villa and had a lovely time. The apartment was very spacious—lots of room for my husband, sister and me. The host, Livy, was simply wonderful and I am so thankful we met him. He and his wife built the house on his family’s property and he has many family members nearby. It’s a real Bajan neighborhood and we enjoyed the morning sounds of rooster and cows! We ended up renting a car because my sister needs a new knee—Livy called the car rental company and they came right over with the car! This was our first driving experience in Barbados and quite an experience! He also made us rum punch —really wonderful to come back at the end of the day and have several—and fish cakes. All in all, I would highly recommend both the unit and the host.

Summary: Liv was a wonderful host, always available to provide information or greet us in the morning. We ended up renting a car to get from the airport to his property, instead of having him pick us up, and his directions are spot on, but it doesn't hurt to have a GPS capability on a phone or in the car as many (most?) roads are poorly marked. Especially around rush hour there is a lot of traffic, the roads can be narrow and potholed, and you drive on the left, but It is just a few minutes to several beaches by car and there is a large Massey's supermarket in Holetown that has most everything. Many restaurants also in Holetown, and we bought fresh fish at the Speightown Fish Market, near the head of the pier. Kitchen has just about everything you would need if you want to cook, Liv is pretty good at it too, if you'd like him to cook for you. It was challenging to get into and out of the parking place even with our rented Toyota Yaris. We settled on backing up from the street, and make it a wide turn into the parking spot so you can get out later more easily. There is air conditioning that we ended up using when we were home. The apartment is on the ground level, so it just doesn't get the breeze Liv has upstairs. This is a nice place to stay, definitely different than the more traditional hotel or fancy rental home, but with a car or using the local bus, you'll get a nice feel for Barbados and how people live there.

Summary: Great idea to have Livi pick us up at Airport, 45 mins later we were in our apartment and drinking a beer. We had dinner that night and breakfast next morning. Livi is a fabulous cook and great host. We had a couple more dinners and next time will have at least every other day. Livi arranged an excellent and inexpensive car rental. We are already looking to book again with Livi for next year. Car (very convenient) and accommodation cost less than staying close to the beach.

Summary: Can’t say enough about our perfect Barbados vacation and our 11 nights at Dee Dee Villa. Livy greeted us at the airport and delivered us safely to our lovely home away from home. The spotless apartment had everything we needed to prepare our meals, enjoy the outdoors and lovely gardens, and rest comfortably after busy days on this beautiful island. Livy arranged a rental car for us and gave us tips for our excursions to the beaches and other attractions. We were also lucky enough to sample his delicious cooking which included fish cakes, rum punch and coconut bread and an amazing dinner with his extended family! Lazy mornings on the patio brought opportunities to enjoy the hummingbirds feeding on the lovely blooms along with green parrots and green monkeys. A short walk through the quiet neighborhood took us to a spot overlooking the sea to watch beautiful sunsets. A visit from teeny frogs ( the size of your pinky fingernail) in the evening after a rain shower surprised and delighted us. We hated to leave this perfect vacation rental and certainly recommend it. Thank you Livy, Joyce and Peter Margo and Paul Saint John, New Brunswick
