We just got him from Halum’s property & would gladly stay there again. It is a family-friendly space & great value for the money. We appreciated that the home had a washer, children’s beach toys, great wifi, and lovely ACs in the bedrooms. The beds were comfy, the tiling was lovely, and the patio worked really well for us. The location was also a nice residential neighbourhood waking distance to two grocery stores. We had a bit of a struggle the first week learning how to walk along the busy main road with disappearing sidewalks & a baby, but ended up finding our way. Halum & Nigel were very responsive & took good care of us. We didn’t have any problems with water shortages, but did have a problem with water drainage in the shower which we were able to work around & let Nigel know about when we departed. Thank-you & hope to stay with you again!

We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. Even as the location is convenient for nearby restaurants, groceries and beach we did not chance walking on a very busy road and opted to use a rented car. The apartment itself needs some attention - bath shower head puts more water on the walls than your head - kitchen could do with some new cookware especially frying pan - kitchen cupboard drawers need some adjustments to make sure they are easy to pull open They sometimes felt that they were disconnected from their runners . - There were 2 chairs and a pull out sofa in the living area but one chair was broken and could not be used - Washing machine took more than 3 hours to complete a single load. The location of the apartment close to the main highway makes for a noisy environment day and night even with the windows closed. The apartment comes with bunk beds in the second bedroom but we had no use of this room.

Very quiet residential area with acceptable amenities. Would recommend to anyone with children.

We stayed here for two weeks in February and we had a good time. If you Google for the apartment, search for Rendezvous Gardens. That will get you close enough. A search for 1st Avenue may direct you to a different location. The apartment has everything needed for self-catering including pots, pans, utensils, towels, and linens and washer etc. Air conditioning is only in the bedrooms, which makes for a comfortable sleep. The rest of the apartment is cooled by fans and windows. The windows have screens so mosquitoes with open windows are not a problem. TV and Internet access are more than adequate. The location is very convenient to the grocery store down the street and to most of the island’s attractions and beaches. Nigel was very helpful in getting us acclimated to the apartment and the area. The cost was very reasonable given the prices of other places that are closer to the beach. With a car you can easily get to many of the beaches on the island, or just a few minutes walk down the road. Due to the prolonged sewage overflow problem down the street, we elected to drive to other parts of the island to go to the beach and for swimming. The parking spot in front is tight, but most rental cars are small and will fit. We did notice some road noise from cars from the bedroom, but it didn’t keep us up. The location is also susceptible to periodic water outages, but it seems to come back the next day. There are buckets in the apartment that might be worthwhile to fill up for use during those periods, just in case; we were a bit unprepared for one of the outages. Seems that periodic water outages are not uncommon around the island. In general, we had a good time and really don’t have any complaints about the apartment

My young family and I had the pleasure of staying at Halum's apartment in Christ Church in January 2018. The apartment is in an excellent location, both in a quiet and safe neighbourhood and walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants and beautiful Worthing beach (Dover and Accra beaches are also very close). I would recommend this apartment to those looking for a pleasant alternative to resort vacations. I look forward to our next vacation in Barbados :)

We've been to Barbados many times before and I can honestly say this is in the top three of our accomadation list. Apartment was safe, clean and tidy. Well-equipped kitchen, fully-functioning air con and fast wi-fi. Good location, short drive to shops and beaches. Whenever anything came up then we always got as much help as we needed from Nigel, who is the property manager in Halum's absence. Our sincerest thanks to Halum and Nigel. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to to be able to stay there again some time. Greetings from Andrew, Anette, Sam and Carl (Sweden)

We recently returned from our Barbados vacation. Our 8-night stay at the Thomasville Apartment was enjoyable. What can I say? Halum you were right...we loved it! The property is well-maintained, clean, located in a lovely neighborhood that provides ease of access to several of Barbados' most beautiful beaches and other fun activities. The Property Manager, Nigel, is superb. He is professional, courteous, and extremely responsive. We look forward to staying here again!

I stayed for a week at the end of April with my wife and 2 year old daughter. We will definitely return! The apartment was basic but had everything we could possibly need for a week long stay. The kitchen was well equipped with all appliances and utensils you could possibly need. The internet connection is fast, we streamed Netflix on one evening in HD quality no problem. The 2 bedrooms have good aircon, the rooms were cool within 10 minutes of switching on and they both have ample storage space. The bathroom has a large shower cubicle which was nice after a long day at the beach. Walking down the main road towards shops and beach was easy, although daunting at first, especially with a child in a buggy. The path is broken in places, however 1 trip down was enough to realise that the drivers are very courteous and careful negotiating in around pedestrians. The supermarket is 10 minutes walk, the beach 15 to 20 depending on where you go but i recommend turning left at the bottom of the road and going along to the main part of Worthing beach that has showers, sunbeds and a beach bar, restaurants nearby....oh and lots of turtles swimming around! Halum was very helpful and answered questions very promptly. The taxi driver arranged by Halum, Dabs, was great and we called on him during our stay for trips out. Nigel the property manager was helpful and can be reached easily during your stay, not that we needed to. Overall I think we got a feel for the real Barbados staying here that we wouldn't have got in a hotel, not to mention a lot cheaper as this apartment is great value. We felt safe the entire time and I can honestly say that Bajans are the most friendly and welcoming people I have ever met. Calvin, Gina and Lola, England

We had a great time, the owner was available and on property during our stay and was very helpful.

We rented this unit from March 1-22, 2017. The apartment was clean with nice decor and all the amenities one needs to live and cook comfortably. The manager, Nigel, was polite and responsive. The unit was secured well (e.g. motion activated lights), and the area was safe and very quiet. Shopping and the beach are close by (about 8-10 minutes walk). A pleasant stay. Thank You.

We had a great week in this lovely home. The owner and the caretaker are very friendly and helpful. The local worthing beach is lovely, with good bars and restaurant. Very good value for money stay.

Great location friendly neighbours, water pressure was low but that's an easy fix. Property manager was super nice and helpful and laundry on site was a bonus

As we pack up to leave today, we are sad to go. We were very iffy about booking a rental this being our first time, but all the reviews made this property an easy choice and I'm glad we went this route. The property is very well kept and exactly like the description. Walking distance to everything you need. The bus stop is just around the corner, groceries and the beach just at the end of the road. Great area and even greater people. The property manager, Nigel, is just a phone call away if you have questions and was more than willing to help, really nice guy!

We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful home for 2 weeks. It was very clean , quiet and serene. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Barbados. Nigel the caretaker was very nice and helpful. I enjoyed my time immensely and look forward to returning. Halum was extremely pleasant and helpful even when I was stressed about my first time to the island. He was very calming and assuring.

My husband and I have just returned from a week stay at this apartment. It was exactly as described and the property was clean and well maintained. The owners, Halum and his wife Susila, arrived in Barbados at the same time as we did. They were so friendly and helpful in everyway. We were able to walk to the beach (Sandy Beach), and swim with the turtles daily. Sandy beach is one of the most beautiful beaches. Walked to the grocery stores - and get a complementary shuttle to our apartment. We were also in walking distance to many restaurants . We found the bus system incredibly easy to use allowing us to visit Bridgetown and other areas on the Island. We want to thank Halum and Susila for taking us under their wing and treating us like family. We certainly recommend this property. We look forward to our next visit!

Perfect location. Very clean. Had everything you needed. Close to grocery, the beach... Everything! Everything was just great! We are so satisfied! We definitly recommend this stay! / love from the 3 sisters from Sweden :)

Just returned from our stay in the Barbados the Villa was as described great location close walk to the beaches and restaurants. We did the short enjoyable 15 minute walk each morning to the beaches Accra Beach , Sandy Beach, and Worthing beach all close easy walks and beautiful. Chairs an umbrellas available at each. The villa is clean well equipped and very comfortable, located in a quiet area, met some of the neighbors all very friendly. There is a binder with great info re the area. We used the taxi driver recommended by Halum, Shawn known as 007 he was great, drove us home each night after dinner and a few drinks. We also had him take us on a 4 hour tour to the other side of the island it was beautiful All in all would recommend this villa for a great Barbados vacation. Thank you Halum
