About this villa rental

Located in Bridgetown, this lovely villa for $100 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. We invite you to savour the hospitality of Rio Santo Residences, a charming, typically Barbados stone property, designed with striking hardwood balustrades on its patios and verandahs. Nestled in a quiet cul de sac, it is undoubtedly an ideal retreat from the daily hustle and bustle. We offer a well-appointed traditional three-bedroom house and two adjoining modern one-bedroom apartments, all on a self-catering basis. In this three-bedroom ground floor house, you will enjoy the convenience of a large patio and wet bar; a living room, cooled by ceiling fan, that seats six comfortably; a separate entertainment area with TV, radio/stereo facilities; a kitchen fully-outfitted with large refrigerator; four-burner stove; microwave oven; toaster; kettle; pots and pans; crockery; cutlery, etc., and a laundry room equipped with washer and dryer. You will be able to sleep six persons in the air-conditioned bedrooms and an additional two persons on the sofa-bed, if required. Two bathrooms complete this very desirable villa. Rio Santo Residences is advantageously located close to the famous St. Lawrence Gap in Barbados, and across the street from a white sandy beach, washed by the crystal clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean sea. Mere yards away is the popular Rockley Beach. Nearby, within walking distance, are supermarkets, banks, medical offices, pharmacy, shops, hotels, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. The area is heavily trafficked, well-lighted and safe for walking. As the property is virtually on the bus transportation route, a car is not essential but most people elect to have one, especially for sight-seeing and travel to venues outside the immediate vicinity. For those preferring not to drive themselves, taxi service is readily available. Within ten minutes by car are the Rockley Golf Club, the National Tennis Centre, the Garrison Historic Area (including the headquarters of the Barbados Defense Force and the Garrison Savannah horse racing track), and the Museum and Historical Society. It is about 15 minutes to the capital city Bridgetown and 20 minutes to the Grantley Adams International Airport. UNESCO designated Bridgetown and the Garrison Historic Area as an international heritage site. The South Coast of Barbados has great appeal to the visitor. It is vibrant, with great night-life and many excellent restaurants. Mojo's is next door and a short walk away is everyone's favourite Champers Restaurant and Wine Bar. The best known area is the popular St. Lawrence Gap where you can find many popular night clubs, restaurants and bars. Also within easy reach is Oistin’s Town, famous for its fresh fish fries and down-to-earth ambience. Rio Santo is your home away from home. From there, you can Reach Out And Touch Barbados!

I have stayed at Rio Santo Residences on ten occasions and have been completely satisfied on every occasion. I and family members have rented the house on many occasions, which features a large porch with comfortable lounge chairs and table. On other occasions I have rented the apartments. The facilities in both the house and apartments are well laid out to provide very comfortable accommodation. When staying here you have convenient access to a wide selection of restaurants such as the Park Café, a five minute walk located in a beautiful tropical park. Massey grocery store is another two minute walk beyond the park. Rockley Beach is an eight minute walk. You have everything here to make a great vacation. Doug Watson

Our host Erskine was very responsive prior to and during our 7-night stay. The property was as described. It was clean and in a great location within walking distance to a supermarket, convenience store, cafes, restaurants and the beach. The kitchen was adequately appointed. We only made breakfast however. Both bathrooms could benefit from some updating. The bathroom in the main bedroom is tiny and the shower very confining. The ACs (in bedrooms only) worked great. The ceiling and floor fans in the spacious tv/sitting area offered tolerable relief from the heat. If you aren’t a nitpicker, and want comfortable, convenient lodging at a very reasonable rate I recommend Rio Santo. Thanks Erskine!! Hope to see you again.

Host was very communicative before arrival to make certain of no surprises. This made check in an excellent experience considering our flight was delayed and we arrived on island after 1am. Location is perfect, close to beach and easy to get around in any direction plus many conveniences nearby. Well prepared and clean making our stay comfortable and relaxing. Recommend this location for a value priced comfortable accommodation in safe and convenient location.

The property is spacious, and well secured, and in a safe area. The property, however, has shortcomings. The pillows are severely stained. Cracks in some of the walls. I wish I could submit my pics on the site. I have pics to show everything I speak of. The ceilings in the two bedrooms have stains, from leakage from above. Some bedsheets were stained with blood, and other stains. Upon arrival, we started cleaning. Beautiful, veranda, nice table, etc. The hot water was nonexistent most days. We called the management about the lack of hot water. Someone came to fix the issue. By the next day, the hot water disappeared again. If there’s lots of rain, there’s no hot water. A/C’s in both bedrooms. No A/C in the Living room and dining room. You’re going to be on fire, it’s so hot in those rooms.

I grew up in Barbados, and I would say as a visitor to the island, it will be difficult to find a better property for the value this one brings. It is close as in walking distance to groceries, public transportation, beaches, restaurants, entertainment, and, if you so choose, rental cars. One thing to consider with the property the AC is only in the bedrooms; it can get a bit warm in the common areas. Sleeping in the common area may be uncomfortable

Not fancy, but perfect for our needs
Not fancy, but perfect for our needs
Rio Santo is a lovely little house, that was just perfect for our needs. We spent a lot of time sitting on the verandah enjoying the breeze, listening to the birds, especially early in the morning. Erskine was a good host; he came and dragged all the outdoor furniture inside when the storm was approaching and checked in on us after the fact. A problem with one of the A/C units was quickly taken care of. We never discovered how to work the stove but we were surrounded by so many good places to eat it didn’t matter anyway! The one thing I might have liked was to have had the fridge turned before we got there and perhaps a very few essentials to get us started when we first arrived so we could make a cup of coffee or tea at least or have ice for cold drink. Otherwise, Rio Santo is as advertised, and was just lovely for our group! Thank you, Erskine!
