Summary: Shelsea is a hidden gem on the south coast of Barbados. We loved the stand-alone villa with its private garden and spacious rooms. The property is meticulously clean and very well appointed and laid out. The beds are very comfortable, complete with A/C, ceiling fans and mosquito nets - good enough for the most picky person! There is so much room to lounge around - the spacious patio, the breezy and bright "cage", and the large dining/living space. The kitchen is well-equipped, too. We really appreciated having access to a washing machine - makes a huge difference on an island where you might need to shower multiple times a day. The garden is very well manicured and the gardener comes in twice a week to keep everything tidy and healthy. The beach is one minute walk away and all sandy bottomed. If you like a bit of wave, then it is a a perfect beach for you! The location is fantastic. Our favorite restaurants are within 10 minutes drive and it is close to the Barbados Golf Club and the Oistin Fish Market. We were able to completely relax and unwind, in this little gem of a sanctuary. Thank you, Shelsea!

Summary: Rented for 28 days, My wife got sick, Amasing Amanda helped us to a medical clinic and she was OK very quickly. I devellopped severe pain on day 22, so bad that I expected admittance to a hospital. As my wife no longer can function alone we went home to Canada 4 days early. I had a Kidney Stone, It ihas now passed and we miss Barbados, beautiful Barbados

Summary: The high part about this experience was the lovely tropical garden. There are always birds- hummingbirds, occasional parrots and many others. Several afternoons we saw monkeys and one afternoon a whole family including babies joined us and “monkeyed around” as we watched for over half an hour. The beach is very close and we walked it every day and the water was warm but the waves can be rough some days. Every day was another day in paradise!

Summary: Shelsea was perfect for our family for a month. Not beachside, this beach-adjacent little slice of paradise maximizes *both* the pristine beach and tropical beauty that Barbados offers. The beach access is just a 45 second walk from Shelsea's gate, down a private shaded lane. Part of the magic of our daily morning swims was turning into the corridor leading to the shore; there is no view quite as stunning as daily unveiling down this little walkway. The beach itself is stunning, great for lounging or playing & swimming in the waves, and offers an ideal sunset vantage point on most evenings. While resting back at Shelsea, the ample and shaded garden space was the highlight! Relaxing under the mango tree in the heat of the day was phenomenal. The landscaping makes the property feel lush and private, and also welcomes breezes into the space. The provided hammock was a haven for each member of our family for hot afternoons. The gardener visited often to keep the grounds groomed, and to clean the chairs and loungers, so it was always ready to relax in. Shelsea's kitchen was also key. It's very well equipped, and offered every convenience needed for keeping a family of five fed. Only complaint: mosquitoes! We loved the open concept with easy patio access from the house, but with that breezy island living does come pests. Coping strategies included vape mats, mosquito nets at night, bug dope, long pants/sleeves in evenings, fans, & closing bedroom doors & windows.

Summary: The house is exactly as advertised- in fact the photos don’t quite do the house and garden justice. The area is really quiet and peaceful, with just a hint of traffic noise discernible from the main road. The house is well secured with lots of lockable gates that can be left open even at night for ventilation. There is air conditioning but it really is not necessary with the sea breeze. Check-in was easy, with Ron the lovely neighbour showing us around and both Sheila and Amanda phoning us a few times to make sure all was well. The bedrooms are spacious with plenty of storage and comfy beds. There are shelves full of holiday reads and even a hairdryer with a diffuser for curly hair - a real rarity! The kitchen is well stocked and the initial provisions provided were very welcome as we arrived on a public holiday. There is a washing machine and also a dryer if needed. We hardly sat indoors as the garden and deck were so inviting. The cleaner and gardener were helpful and friendly. The beach is less than two minutes’ walk away. I can’t think of a thing to criticise - it’s a beautiful home and made for a wonderful base for a perfectly relaxing holiday.

Summary: This lovely home is exactly as pictured, which makes it feel like home as soon as you arrive. Being met by Ron and Amanda is so very helpful; they thoroughly go through all aspects of the property and are very friendly and welcoming. And speaking of welcoming...the welcome package upon arrival is above and beyond! The effect of having necessities to allow you to settle in without immediately racing to a grocery store just enhances the warmth of this home. Proximity to the beach is great, and the host, Sheila's, communication about local activities and restaurants was extremely helpful. We are grateful for having an opportunity to stay in this lovely home.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our eight weeks at Shelsea. The house is lovingly and tastefully furnished, and we can say without a doubt that in terms of kitchen equipment it was the best equipped house we have ever rented. This is surely due to the fact that Sheila - the owner - lives in the house herself when she is staying on Barbados and does not rent it out exclusively as a tourist domicile. Our favourite place was the cosy terrace, which is wonderful for relaxing or eating...or alternatively you can lie in the hammock under the mango tree. The beautiful garden is regularly tended by a gardener, and our daughter in particular was always happy when now and then a mango fell from the tree and we were faster than the monkeys who often sat in the tree and nibbled mangoes. The house is very close to the beach, which has the great advantage that you can walk to the beach within a minute. The disadvantage, however, is that hotels are located directly on the beach (i.e. between Shelsea and the beach), so we had to get used to regular nightly live music events at these hotels or at a live club also in the vicinity. The noise on Maxwell main road and the neighbours mowing their lawns at 7 a.m. also took some getting used to. We were very grateful for Yvonne, who whirled through our house once a week and cleaned everything. A great additional service. And a big thank you also goes to the landlords of the house (Ron and his daughter Amanda), who live two houses away and were always there to help us with any questions or requests. If we could, we would fly to Barbados again in a heartbeat and spend our holidays at Shelsea. This vacation will stay in our memories forever.
