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.

Great beachside flat

Amazing location in Fitts Village, one of the most convenient places to stay on the West coast for access to the rest of the island. Direct access to the beach and incredible views of the sunset.

Fantastic location

We loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves, snorkelling on the reef, and having the bustop a few metres away when we wanted to visit other parts of the island.

Lovely tome at Little Reef

The location right on the beach is ideal. The place was clean and some essential groceries were in the fridge - much appreciated! Wear water shoes as the shore is rocky. I’ll miss the beautiful sound of the surf. The owner was very helpful and responsive. I’ll be back!

Rest & relaxation

We had 2 adult couples that stayed here and there was plenty of room, all the pictures you see are exactly what it looks like, this was so relaxing and we will definitely be back. We rented a car (glad we did) so we could come and go wherever we wanted, we traveled to the other side of the island and we went down to Carlisle Beach a few times, that is a super clean beach and great swimming. The waters just in front of our place was a bit rough while we were there but we did do some snorkeling there and it was nice, if you are there on a Friday night go to Oistins for the fish fry, you will get enough for two days food . We had almost perfect weather for just over our week stay. We will definitely be back.

Fun in the sun

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

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.

After staying in Fitts village for many years this was our first time at this property and it didn’t disappoint. We were delighted with the location, the amazing views and the apartment itself.
