Best VRBO experience possible. Alan was so accommodating and the lodging was better than any resort.

The property is located on the south coast just 14 min from the airport. And no traffic which can be heavy in Oistins and Bridgetown - you will want to visit these locations for groceries and more selection of restaurants but here at Cheez don Bread you will be living with the locals. I really liked that. I rented a small car from the host (which is needed for groceries and sight seeing). I am not used to driving on the left side so that took some getting used to. Pot holes are huge so have your co-pilot not only remind you to be left - but also slow down or go around huge craters. Note: round-abouts are clockwise here. If you are used to North American driving this is the biggest lesson to get used to. Property is at the end of a private street with the ocean just 50 yards away. You can hear the ocean and the tree frogs throughout the night. And Jack the grey parrot in the morning. Delightful. Miami Beach (locals call it Enterprise Beach) is just a 10 min drive. Beautiful sandy beach with two chaise lounges and umbrella available for 20 USD or 40 Bajan. Park at the beginning of Enterprise Drive as turning around can be difficult later as the road becomes one lane. Showers and washrooms are at the end of this road. The host family is absolutely lovely. You will find the communication top notch and very timely. Alan and Sonia can arrange everything you want to do on the island: surfing, island tours or private taxi. Highly recommend.

A Truly Welcoming Stay in Barbados – Felt Like Home! I had such a wonderful experience staying with Alan and Sonia during my solo trip to Barbados. From the moment I arrived, Alan and Sonia made me feel completely welcome. They were incredibly warm and genuinely caring. The accommodation itself was cozy and comfortable and had everything I needed to feel at home. It was the perfect base for exploring the island. I especially appreciated being able to stay in touch via WhatsApp while I was out and about—they were always just a text message away. Alan was also very quick to respond with any questions I had. Their local recommendations for nearby restaurants were spot on! Every place they recommended was a hit, and it really added to the richness of my trip. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness and hospitality. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay with hosts who go above and beyond, this is it. I’d return in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful stay!
