We enjoyed our stay at Pat’s lovely condo. We had all the comforts of home. The condo was always cleaned to perfection by Kimberley. When we had a question or concern, it was dealt with promptly. We will certainly recommend Pats property to others. The location is quiet with a wonderful view of the ocean. Thank you for sharing this little piece of paradise with us.

Absolutely wonderful stay . It was everything we hoped for and more The beach here in Thunder Bay was absolutely gorgeous and the walk there was beautiful Highly recommend staying here

Excellent communication throughout . Pats place “gone to the beach” has all required for comfortable stay . Sitting listening to the birds , crickets on the balcony looking at the sea with morning coffee a great start to the day . Everything provided for cooking and I’m driving distance for lovely food . We would definitely recommend a car for ease and exploring , Lloyd whom pat recommended .. brilliant service indeed . The jerk chicken place up from Thunder Bay .. delicious food , the round house over near Bathsheba , great food wild sea views. Sea shed for a treat , Thai shrimp curry , wow . Sun beds at Thunder Bay furthest to the left cheaper than anyway , quieter and Devon and his mum marlene lovely , great fish cakes . Coming back after exploring , eating , swimming to our home from home .. fabulous .. thanks Pat

We had a weeks stay at the apartment Had a lovely stay not too far from Holetown in one direction and Speightstown in the other. We found some hidden Gems, places to eat and drink. Really enjoyed the outside space too. Hope to return

As so many previous reviews have said of Pat’s apartment, a real home from home in the best possible way! Location is great with some of the best beaches and restaurants only minutes away. The garden and plunge pool provide a gorgeous little sanctuary, we loved it and would certainly recommend. Contact with Pat the owner, house manager and housekeeper all extremely friendly and helpful. We hope to be returners!

With a lovely sea view in the distance, this lovely apartment boasts an ensemble of nature all around. With the green throated Carib flitting around, nesting bananquits to the side, anole lizards scurrying about and scaly-naped pigeons cooing near by. The apartment is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. And the team and owner so wonderfully attentive. The beach is nearby and the splash pool is perfect to cool down after the healthy ascend from the beach to the apartment.

We had a lovely two weeks stay. Property was private, well maintained and well designed. AC, Internet, water pressure all good, lots of towels replaced twice weekly. Property manager Lisa was lovely and accessible. Foldable beach chairs and umbrella were appreciated and saved us $15 daily on rental fees from the beach vendors. Kitchen well equipped but limited prep area. We only prepared breakfast there anyway and spend our time exploring the island and eating out. We watched CNN and CBC in the evening. Car is a must, no shopping or restaurants nearby, perhaps more amenities before Covid? There was a small convenience store at the bottom of the street, with very unpredictable opening hours. We purchased groceries in Holetown Massy's, less than 10 minutes drive, they have a decent deli with cooked foodstuffs to take home. Reeds Bay is a lovely, all sand and very scenic beach, snorkeling opportunities abound but don't forget to bring the float to stay visible, there is a boat/seadoo traffic on the water. We ate at Waffle Haus nearby, loved it, few beach huts offering cooked food, we found it mediocre and expensive. For dining we recommend: Fisherman's Pub and Just Grilling (cheap/moderate) Fish Pot, Local and Nishi (moderate/expensive). Food served at local attractions was tasty and affordable, we loved fish cakes at Animal Flower, book in advance. I suggest picking maps, brochures, and magazines at the airport Info Centre, goldmine of info. If you are an animal lover, try to visit Ocean Acres Animal Sanctuary. Founder Karen and employees are great, and rescue cats and dogs are very social and loving. (We ended up adopting a pup, she returned home with us, and doing great here in Canada). Have fun!

Absolutely loved our stay at "gone to the beach" there's not a single thing we would change. Loved our little walk to the beach every morning being greeted by the friendly locals it really feels like you are part of the community.thunder bay beach has to be one of the best on island, After a hard day at the beach we would relax in the plunge pool with a rum watching the monkeys and humming birds,honestly never felt so relaxed in years and we can't wait to return.thanks pat for letting us rent your stunning home❤

The property was certainly not as described as being a luxury apartment, plunge pool in my opinion is a waste of space, either make it a jacuzzi or make the space more open for people move around the patio, my biggest issue with the place is the location it’s definitely not a 5 minutes walk to Reeds Bay, the road you’d walk down is dangerous. I cannot agree with some of the comments that have been left on this property by previous holiday makers.

Such a beautiful property with fantastic views to wake up to every morning. An abundance of wildlife with birds and monkeys coming to visit us. Pat was a fabulous host from the moment we booked, she called half an hour later to welcome us, Pat arranged for transfers, car hire and to stop off at the supermarket to get supplies, nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend this beautiful apartment and will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Stayed here often always enjoy ourselves clean comfortable and maid service very good

The apartment was wonderfully and thoughtfully furnished/equipped down to the smallest detail Excellent location, close to the best beaches with restaurants and shops not too far away. Regular/fast bus services along the west coast if you have no car. Kim cleaned and serviced the accommodation thoroughly and on a regular basis. Highly recommended.

Everything about this property can be summarized by one word - excellent. The rental is beautifully decorated, extremely well appointed (my wife and I cooked every night and had everything we could possibly need) and has gorgeous views from a large deck that allows you take in the sunset every evening. Communication with the owner was excellent and the property manager, Fernanda, was exceedingly helpful (the cable TV was not working and she had it replaced the next day!). Finally, Kim keeps the place spotless and sanitized. Thanks to all for a great stay.

We rented the apartment as a warm getaway for my wife’s birthday. The place is well appointed with nice furniture, lovely decor, large mirrors, making it a warm living space. We totally enjoyed the plunge pool and patio space too.

This was the third time we spent our vacation in the apartment. The view from the patio is aboslutely stunning and you find everything you need in the apartment. The plunge pool is an extra plus, the wifi is fast and this time we could do some distance work. We highly recommend it and we will be back.

Great location for seeing the island. Everything was as we expected. Spent most of our time on the patio, great to have the plunge pool. Evenings, drink in hand spent watching the fireflies and listening to the tree frogs sing. Beautifully furnished, very clean thanks to the lovely Kimberly who came in twice a week. We would stay again.

Great value for your money, awesome amenities (loved the plunge pool), and place was equipped with bug nets to allow for us to keep doors opened if we wanted. Housekeeper sent twice a week to clean, and the property manager was super easy to get a hold of!

We definitely had a "home from home" experience. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much for all the arrangements.

A wonderful apartment, spectacular views best equipped let we have ever stayed at. Even better than we thought, the first impression when we arrived was how nice the apartment smelled and how clean it was. Then the views and plunge pool.

The property is in a great location being a short distance from the Beach with Holetown and Speightstown just a short drive away. The property is beautiful and is in a very quiet area where you always feel safe and secure. This is our second time staying at Gone to the Beach and we would have no hesitation in recommending a 'Home Away From Home' vacation staying at Gone to the Beach in beautiful Barbados!

First I want to say a big Thank You to Pat for allowing me to stay at her home & to Fernanda the house manager who was a gem to work with. Pat also made booking seamless. My grand-daughter turned 8 years old & wanted a sleepover with her bestfriend; Gone to the Beach was the perfect place. The 2 girls loved their room with the 2 beds. Me & my niece stayed in the second one. These rooms while warm & welcoming, were still extremely spacious. We were pleasantly surprised that what you see in relation to the pictures posted of the house is what you get. I would venture further to say that the pictures doesn't do the home justice; it is beautiful and is tastefully decorated. Although the home is one of 4 apartments, your space is yours & there is no intrusion. There is a beautiful garden area where the kids (or adults) can play although to be honest, there wasn't much need for it as I am convinced the girls thought they were mermaids; I couldn't keep them from in the pool. The garden came in handy though for the times the pool was self cleaning; gave the girls something different to do other than sitting at the side of the pool wondering when it would be finished. I want to say thanks for that detail; the fact that the pool was cleaned every morning was like heaven sent. I had read someone speak about bugs and there was some (ONLY ON THE OUTSIDE PATIO AND ONLY AT NIGHT). I am NOT a bug person but these bugs wasn't intrusive & only came out at night; come dawn they were making their way back home like they were never there. There was also no flying insects, just your garden variety bugs because of the closeness of the hedge to the patio. The home had netting at the entrance so this also assisted with the absence of bugs on the inside. The property is very secure. There is a security gate with a lock so I felt extremely comfortable with the girls moving around on the outside while I was inside preparing meals. However, there was an issue with one of the sensor lights which I reported to Fernanda; she assured me it will be fixed. Speaking about preparing meals, the home have everything you would need to make meals. It even had a BBQ grill which I tried BBQing for the first time ever! Had to throw away a number of hotdogs though; no one told me that they cook so fast on the grill (the shame). Then picture me & my niece trying to wash a coal grill when finished. It wasn't a pretty sight. The girls are already asking when they could go back.

We love Gone to the Beach so much we extended our 6-week stay for 4 more weeks. The location is perfect for us. Lots of side roads and fields for morning walks and only a 5-minute walk to a fantastic beach, passing local vendors, marts, ice cream shops and restaurants along the way. The outdoor patio is literally year-round outside living. We spent the majority of our time working at the outside table, lounging on the lounge chairs overlooking the ocean via palm trees, and dunking in the plunge pool in complete privacy. The furnishings are comfortable and inviting, The decor and household collections reveal evidence this much-loved townhome was once a primary residence. From the patio we saw green parrots, monkeys, whistling tree frogs and more. We absolutely fell in love with Gone to the Beach. Highly, highly recommend.

This villa is well-appointed with every kitchen item one would want, including French press. The decor is unique and lovely compared to many condos that look like hotel rooms. Perfect location, just up the hill from a great local beach. Loved the patio and plunge pool. Fernanda is very attentive to any needs.

Everything you could wish for , home from home , cleaner twice a week , lovely little patio ... would always book again

The property has beautiful views to the sea and the plunge pool was a welcome sight after the walk back from the beach. If you are not used to a stiff 10 - 15 minute walk then a hire car or taxi is a must. We planned our return from the coast to not coincide with the hottest times of the day because the final stretch to the accommodation is steep! Fixtures and fitting were of a high standard. Lightweight chairs for the beach were supplied. All in all one of the best rentals we have used in Barbados.

Second time we have rented the apartment and everything is perfect for a relaxing holiday. The owner is first class with her involvement with the booking.

The size of the property was as described and probably more suitable for a family of 4 ie 2 adults, 2 children rather than 4 adults. (However, we did originally book for our selves so we coped with the 4 of us. The deck outside was nice, but the splash pool takes up a lot of space and probably would be better if it was removed and make room for 4 sunbeds, with more space around. Incidentally, the sun in the late afternoon was more around the dining area, so I’d suggest utilising that area for sunbathing and relocating the dining space - just a thought! The living space was adequate, but probably needs an upgrade so that it is easier to use the kitchen, perhaps with more worktop space. The dishwasher definitely needs replacing. We gave it a good clean and realised that the tablet was not dropping out of its container automatically so we did that manually. There was sufficient crockery and cutlery in the property, apart from mugs/cups. We thought there were many personal photos which were not required. Although security is always an issue, the metal grid which was in place was rather outdated and off putting and perhaps a more modern system or even an alarm would be more appropriate. Having said all that we really enjoyed our stay and found Rachel and Kimberly very approachable and were more than helpful. Thank you for a lovely time and I hope you take the above as suggestions rather than criticism . Kind regards Sue

This was the second time we stayed at Gone to the Beach. The owner hade made some improvements since our last stay. We plan to rent it again since we think it is a great place to spend your vacation. It is also very price worthy.
