About this apartment rental

We would like to inform all our future guests that, due to Covid-19, our Company follows all the new Government Cleaning Protocols. In addition to this for higher health security reasons we decided to leave all our apartments free for at least 48 hours between all stays and also to treat them 2 days before any arrival with our new Ozone Generator which is 99% proven to inactivate any eventual kind of bacteria and viruses. Sweet Jewel Apartments is located in Silver Sands area in the South of the island of Barbados and they are in total 4 different apartments for dimensions, furniture, expositions and prices. All of them have dining / living / kitchen area fully furnished, bedroom, private bathrooms and covered patio. The apartments are surrounded by a wonderful garden rich of palm trees, vegetation and flowers, with fence, walls and monitored by security cameras. Next the property there is a big parking area (free of charge). Sweet Jewel Apartments are located next to the stunning Silver Sands Beach at the southern tip of the beautiful tropical island of Barbados. Being the easternmost of the windward Caribbean islands, the tropical heat is always tempered by the constant gentle north-easterly Trade Winds, cutting down on mosquitoes and making Silver Sands one of the best spots in the world for windsurfing, surfing and kite surfing. Sweet Jewel Apartments provide a unique combination of fun and relaxation: suffused by the immediate beauty, peace and tranquillity of a palm-fringed surfer’s paradise; yet close to the buzz and excitement of great clubs and restaurants at nearby St Lawrence Gap. The Tropical Gecko Studio took the name from a wonderful Tropical Gecko (the Tokay Gecko which comes from the Tropical East and Southeast Asia) who lives 10 meters far from the apartment. The living area has a double queen bed, sheets of high quality cotton, 2 bedside tables with lamps, wardrobe, safe, a kitchenette with all the necessary: 4 gas burner stove with oven, refrigerator, freezer, sink, cabinets with Italian coffee machine, american coffee maker , toaster, cutlery, dishes, glasses, pots, etc; a small lobby brings you to the bathroom which has sink, toilet and a large shower. At the the entrance of the Apartment there is a wonderful large and covered patio with table, chairs, sofa, hammock and garden with lawn on two sides around. There are also 110 volt sockets (American system) and 220 volt sockets (European system). The studio has a parking place just next the property. In the garden there is an outdoor shower and a very well mantained garden with lawn, Coconut Palm trees, Royal Palm trees and flowers.

Loved our time here.! The studio apartment was absolutely spotless and our yard was so peaceful and private. The apartment was well stocked with all we needed and Stefano and Elisabetta we available for any questions or needs we had. They made us feel welcome and we left feeling we had new friends. Natasha also made us feel welcome and at home whenever she came with fresh linens etc. and she too is now a special friend. The near beaches were amazing for the surfing crowd and Miami Beach was only a 3 km walk away. A rental car is great at this location. It gets you easily to all the restaurants and action you might want and let’s you come home to your quiet, beautiful patio for a glass of wine as you listen to the songs of the tree frogs. The little pub, a 5 minute walk away, is wonderful! We met many great folks there. We do not hesitate to recommend this location for your Barbados vacation!!

The Tropical Gecko is a nice, compact studio a block from the ocean. Close enough to hear the heavy surf but not too close to be overpowering. The bed is a queen and we spent a lot of time in it. Days in the sun and water make for excellent sleep. The kitchen is quite functional and between the fish market, green food stands and the Massey's market in Oistins we were able to cook nearly all of our meals in. This is important as dining costs in Barbados run to the high side. Stefano was very nice and lent us beach towels, chairs, a body board and snorkel set for the beach. There are four units in the building but we weren't disturbed at all by the other guests. Each unit faces a different direction so they are fairly private. Nearby Silver Sands beach is a good windsurfing and kite-boarding beach for experienced folks. Calmer waters are a short drive away. The neighborhood is quiet with the Surfers Bay bar just a block or so away. A car would be recommended and the island is easy to drive with Google Maps (local maps not so much).

My partner and I spent two wonderful weeks at the Tropical Gecko Studio during the last week of September/ first week of October 2018 and we could not have been more happy with our accommodation. The studio offers everything you need and more - a well-equipped kitchenette with a big fridge, a bathroom with a big shower and hair dryer, the beautiful lush garden offering a lot of privacy, a shadowy terrace for relaxing hours in the hammock or on the cosy little bench, fresh towels and sheets every three to five days, and a tranquil atmosphere for a perfect holiday in paradise. For us the location of the appartment was fantastic, being situated in close proximity to Silver Sands and Rescue beach, where you can go for a walk, work on your tan, or just watch the mighty Atlantic. The Surfer's Bay beach bar and little shops are close by where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables, water and beer, and the usual staples. We spent both weeks without having to rent a car because all major locations (Oistins, fish market, big supermarket, all beaches along the South coast, Bridgetown, etc.) are easily reachable with the local public busses leaving a 5-minutes walk away from the appartment. If this sounds like a hassle to you, we can assure you that the bus rides were literally one of the most fun things about our Barbados holiday because the 'reggae bus' experience is one of a kind ;) Lastly, we would like to thank and warmly recommend the owners Stefano and Elisabetta, who went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Both are incredibly welcoming hosts, who were always available if we had questions, asked for advice, or needed help with something, and kept the place in a spotless condition. They provided an extra set of beach towels and snorkeling equipment without any additional cost and for all water sports fans Stefano rents out equipment at very reasonable prices. We enjoyed our stay so much and highly recommend this place to everyone who tries to find the perfect accommodation for their Barbados holiday. Whenever we will make it back to the island in the future, the Tropical Gecko Studio will be our #1 address !! Thank you for everything! Sending our warmest regards, Nora and Eric

This was our first stay at Tropical Gecko and second visit to the island. From first contact with Stefano to arrange our stay to our departure he and Elizabet were fantastic hosts and very interested in making our stay as enjoyable as possible. The studio was clean and comfortable and everything we needed. We even got a change of towels and bedding which was a complete surprise and not expected. We would not hesitate to return or tell friends about this place. It was perfect for us. Thank you S and E for our enjoyable stay. Cheers and salute.

Very nice apartment, perfect for our holiday. First impression: very clean( room, bathroom). The patio overlooking the garden, well mainteined.The kitchenette is well organized, you find all utensils for cooking (even the oven). Wi-fy works properly. The beach is only one minute walking from the apartment and you find there a nice bar to chill out or eat something. By walking you can even reach other beautiful beaches. Elisabetta and Stefano have been perfect ! They gave us a lot of advice on the island, the different beaches, the watersports ana what to visit in this beautiful, tropical island. For local trasportation , the bus stop n°11 is only three minutes from the apartment. by walk, and takes you to Bridgetown along the coast where there are other beaches. I would strongly recomend this apartment to a friend. I think next time I'll fly to Barbados, my place will be The Tropical Gecko Studio !!

Piccolo e delizioso monolocale appena ultimato, perfettamente pulito e ordinato, esattamente rispondente alle foto pubblicate, con giardino e spazio verandato esterno dotato di tavolo ed amaca, perfetto per la colazione e i momenti di relax. A 200 mt dalla meravigliosa e selvaggia spiaggia di Silver Sand paradiso per kiters e windsurfers. A 200 mt dal Surfers Bay Bar dove si può pranzare cenare a prezzi modici in riva ad mare e godere del tramonto o della musica live un paio di sere a settimana. A 500 mt dalla fermata del bus che porta in 10 minuti alla città di Oistin in mezzora nella capitale Bridgetown lungo il percorso tutte le più belle spiagge attrezzate e facilmente balneabili. La fermata del bus è davanti al minimarket posto dove si trova lo stretto necessario. Queste info e tante altre turistiche e pratiche sono presenti nel book che Elisabetta e Stefano hanno predisposto per i loro clienti. Elisabetta e Stefano mi sono venuti incontro in ogni necessità relativa al soggiorno presso il loro studio, dandomi aiuto ed ottimi consigli anche per visitare l isola; perfetti nella loro ospitalità, posso dire con gioia di aver trovato due amici sinceri.
