Waterside 404 Heaven

This condo on the beach is just heavenly. From the waves crashing, to the decor and the pure comfort you feel immediately at home. And home is how we made it. Breakfasts on the deck, fresh fish dinners from Fish, Fish and More Fish steps away, this condo is perfectly outfitted and Anne is just the most awesome host. Nothing is overlooked, the location is stellar, it’s private and a perfect retreat. I would book again in a nanosecond.

Paradies

We had a great time in this beautiful apartment. The view from the balcony is absolute stunning! Also Paynes Bay is a perfect place, just a few minutes to nice beaches and restaurants. I highly recommend the Cliff restaurant, amazing food, perfect atmosphere but the prices are, how to say, not so nice… it was a pleasure to have contact to Anne, she is so kindly, I would loved to met her. She provided all the needed informations and I loved her writing style. Thank you Anne!

Great choice

Lovely property on 4th floor of small gated apartment block on Paynes Bay beach with fantastic views from veranda. Great location just 1 minute drive the the Cliff / QP bistro & bakery ( great to pick up morning croissants or to have breakfast with amazing views) only 10 minutes to Holetown. Spotlessly clean and exactly as description. Great communication with Anne. We had a great time and are looking forward to returning in the future.

No 404 Waterside is a stylish and well equipped property which was comfortable and welcoming.

My husband and I had a fantastic holiday in Barbados. The apartment suited our needs perfectly and the situation with direct access to the beach was perfect. We had a selection of very good restaurants within walking distance - we must mention The Cliff beach restaurant for not only the lovely food but also the stunning position. We also had great fun discovering the east coast of the island and going to the races at Garrison Savanna. Anne was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had.

Lovely apartment. Very clean. Beautiful view from balcony. Brilliant host to rent an apartment from. All instructions for the apartment were very clear.

Fabulous Property and location

The property did not disappoint. Very easy check in process and clean on arrival. Being a fourth floor apartment the views of the beach and sunset are unrivalled. A quick walk to the Cliff or a hop on the bus to Holetown and beyond was very easy with the stop being two minutes from the door. Great suggestions from Anne for restaurants. One we haven’t visited before so that was a plus. We have been a few times now to Barbados and couldn’t recommend this property more highly. For us being able to sit on the balcony with a morning coffee and being free to do and eat what we want is the best. We would definitely come here again and are already looking at possible dates for next year. Maybe this time tie in with some cricket!

Beautiful Barbados

This is the second time we have stayed at 404 Waterside and it was just as good as the first time. Anne, the owner was very attentive in checking that we were happy and had everything we needed. We stayed for 4 weeks so really appreciated the full sized, well equipped kitchen which enabled us to have some home cooked meals on the balcony overlooking the sea - fabulous. The Payne’s Bay fish markets is within walking distance so we had a whole variety of fresh fish to choose from. The Cliff Beach restaurant again lived up to expectations with excellent food and fabulous view - also within walking distance of the apartment. We must also give a shout out for the Kariba bar just across the road for not only its very friendly and efficient staff but also for the little set menu they produce at a very reasonable price which was excellent. We would definitely stay at 404 Waterside again if we returned to Barbados.

Gorgeous apartment on Payne’s Beach

The apartment was fantastic - large and beautifully furnished with comfortable king sized beds. Anne Smith is an amazing host and she had thought of everything to make our stay perfect. She was so generous in giving us advice on places to visit, restaurants, supermarkets etc. Nothing was too much trouble. Sonia the housekeeper is lovely too. There was a welcome package of provisions when we arrived. The apartment is on the beach with a large veranda overlooking the ocean - beautiful sunsets perfect for sundowners! The pool area was great - never busy. We didn’t make it to the gym so no idea what that was like. Parking was easy. Judy on security was very helpful. All in all a wonderful place to stay and we would love to return.

In a word - EXCEPTIONAL

This is one of those times when you don't want to leave a review because you don't want others finding out about the gem you have found. But Anne was such a wonderful host we couldn't do that. Waterside 404 is an exceptional property. The home itself is wonderful - huge space, amazing patio, great kitchen, all modern appliances, etc. All in great working condition (including the AC) and decorated and maintained at a much higher level than we are used to seeing in rental accommodations (there was even a wok frying pan!). The building itself is exceptionally maintained, which means a lot for a property located on the water as they are bombarded with moisture and salt in the air. Great parking and security, truly lovely staff and a pool that can't be beat, right next to the sea. The place was so good that it made us completely lazy and we barely left the property. This was also made possible by the fact that Holetown is a super short drive away. Anne, thank you for sharing your amazing home with us. When accommodations are this good, they become one of the most memorable part of your vacation!

Not cheap, maybe even a bit expensive, but nice and honest

The owner and the housekeeper will do anything reasonable to be certain that you comfortable and happy with the apartment. The apartment itself is exactly as presented on the site and it is very clean. Not only the apartment is clean and well maintained, but the whole property is similarly managed. The building, the garden and the exceptionally large pool are spiffy as well. It must also be mentioned that there are a sufficient number of longe chairs so to neutralize the early morning, if not nocturnal, chair's captation by anxious vacationers' towels and mattresses. Most of the time, the sunsets are splendid. This apartment as most of those at Waterside probably constitute one of the best place to enjoy them in Barbados. This year, most of the time, the waves were too strong to go in the ocean nearby (right in front of Waterside, it is never possible, but close by on the right and the left there are potentially very nice places to swim in the ocean), so we had to drive 10 m. north to Folkestone Beach. This was not tragic, but considering the cost of the rent we were a bit disappointed. This left us wondering about the value, not specifically for this apartment, but more generally about renting at Waterside. To sum up, if the price is right for you, this is a very nice apartment to rent. You will not have a single bad surprise.
