Lovely property! Pictures of the property do not do it justice. The views are breathtaking. Aside from access to the beach and local restaurants, the amenities were an added bonus. Macy, our concierge, was so friendly and attentive. I highly recommend!

Lovely stay in Barbados once again! Nice local people, beautiful beaches ( especially Sandy Lane!) Too much traffic noise and rooster crowing here for us, but the condo was comfortable otherwise. Blessed to be in Barbados again

Lovely villa and beautiful beach- loved swimming in the ocean and hearing the waves lap the shore. - Just all wonderful, many thanks !!
Our second stay at Seashells in the last 12 months and again, it did not disappoint. Perfect location and 5 star luxury. Once again we were looked after by Althea who made us feel very welcome and the grandchildren loved her. We shall return!!.
Highly recommend this villa, the location and views are awesome, the villa was well equipped, Barbados is a very friendly island. The beach directly in front is rocky but just walk left a short distance to get sandy entrance. We would return, the cleaner was sweet and the Gardener was Funny! We even saw 2 monkeys briefly on the property!
Property was very nice with exceptional views. House was well outfitted for cooking. Service staff (housekeeper, landscaper, and security personnel) were very engaging and supportive. Neighborhood and street were quite busy and noisy on street side of property, but otherwise great location

What a wonderful vacation !! The house is beautiful & perfectly situated !! We loved watching the sunsets each night. The half day catamaran cruise with snorkeling & lunch was a perfect way to see the beautiful waters of Barbados! The Mt Gay Rum tour did not disappoint. Pam & Althea did an outstanding job with the house + meals and were wonderful to work with with. Barbados will always have a special spot in our hearts !!

WOW! What a wonderful trip this has been! Barbados is beautiful + the people are so friendly. We met people from all over and enjoyed the awesome water and beaches. Thank you Althea for all your suggestions and guidance. You were so kind and helpful to us all. We wish you all the best in your new endeavors after you retire! We do recommend the glass bottom boat excursion with snorkeling + viewing the shipwreck. So Fun! Great Vacation!

We have had a lovely time in such a beautiful house. After our lovely daughters arrived the house did not miss a beat. It became a family home. The children loved the plunge pool. Perfect for confidence building for a 4 year old. Althea is so friendly and accommodating, helping to create and maintain a lovely relaxed approach to life in Seashells. Must mention David too, keeping us safe in his discreet way. Also Carlos the gardener who supplied us with aloe vera.
Beautiful beachside villa with the perfect layout for families or large groups. Every room had a private balcony that overlooks an awe inspiring view of Payne’s Bay. We literally walked off our back gate into the water and saw a variety of fish, coral, and other sea life while snorkeling. The kitchen was stocked with anything you needed for meal prep and entertaining. The bathrooms were spotless and accommodating for both children and adults. The property was also maintained daily by a friendly and discreet staff. Aside from all the activities and tours we took, our favorite thing to do was sit out on the back deck and enjoy the serenity of ocean waves with the backdrop of a beautiful sunset. The location was also perfect - close enough to Holetown and small restaurants but isolated enough that you didn’t feel crowded. Of all the trips we have taken throughout the Caribbean, our daughters said that this has been their favorite place to stay. I hope we will be able to come back.
Great size villa, good bedrooms which were on the beach side with bathrooms on the road-side, which is quite close. However two of the bedrooms have open louvre windows which allow noise in - would be far better if these were glazed over, as not needed for ventilation with the a/c. Outside space is good with direct access to the beach which is small but very quiet. Didn’t use the small pool much.Kitchen had supplies of oil, salt, sugar, coffee etc which is great, Didn’t feel we needed the daily housekeeper service-every 2-3 days would be fine.Easy walk to QP Bistro and the Roti Den. de Clay Pot is opposite- we enjoyed hearing the live music a couple of evenings (ends earlier so no issues with sleeping). Short drive into Holetown or beyond. Fish market is next door but that’s no issue.Felt very safe and secure. Great choice!

I loved the beach and food, especially the pizza, and can't wait to return again. Everything was close by!
Having stayed in hotel accommodation on previous visits to Barbados this property worked perfectly for a family of 4 adults and 2 excited grandchildren. Clean, safe for the children and of a high standard, the house opens up on to the beach. The perfect family vacation property.

We had the most amazing stay at Seshells. The villa was beautiful at all times of the day, with gorgeous views and a wonderful beach. This felt like a piece of home away from home. Neighbors, staff and locals like Angie at the shack next door were so friendly and hospitable. We could have stayed so much longer and just listen to the waves enjoy the beach and simply relax. Barbados now has a piece of our hearts. Untill again! Macy was so nice, she welcome us with a big great smile, we love Macy - she came and cleaned the house everyday that was so nice of her :)

Had a great time at Mahogany Bay - Seashells, which offers excellent accommodations and is right on the beach. All the staff were wonderful. We definitely hope to come back. Thanks so much.
