Liv was a wonderful host, always available to provide information or greet us in the morning. We ended up renting a car to get from the airport to his property, instead of having him pick us up, and his directions are spot on, but it doesn't hurt to have a GPS capability on a phone or in the car as many (most?) roads are poorly marked. Especially around rush hour there is a lot of traffic, the roads can be narrow and potholed, and you drive on the left, but It is just a few minutes to several beaches by car and there is a large Massey's supermarket in Holetown that has most everything. Many restaurants also in Holetown, and we bought fresh fish at the Speightown Fish Market, near the head of the pier. Kitchen has just about everything you would need if you want to cook, Liv is pretty good at it too, if you'd like him to cook for you. It was challenging to get into and out of the parking place even with our rented Toyota Yaris. We settled on backing up from the street, and make it a wide turn into the parking spot so you can get out later more easily. There is air conditioning that we ended up using when we were home. The apartment is on the ground level, so it just doesn't get the breeze Liv has upstairs. This is a nice place to stay, definitely different than the more traditional hotel or fancy rental home, but with a car or using the local bus, you'll get a nice feel for Barbados and how people live there.

Great idea to have Livi pick us up at Airport, 45 mins later we were in our apartment and drinking a beer. We had dinner that night and breakfast next morning. Livi is a fabulous cook and great host. We had a couple more dinners and next time will have at least every other day. Livi arranged an excellent and inexpensive car rental. We are already looking to book again with Livi for next year. Car (very convenient) and accommodation cost less than staying close to the beach.

Can’t say enough about our perfect Barbados vacation and our 11 nights at Dee Dee Villa. Livy greeted us at the airport and delivered us safely to our lovely home away from home. The spotless apartment had everything we needed to prepare our meals, enjoy the outdoors and lovely gardens, and rest comfortably after busy days on this beautiful island. Livy arranged a rental car for us and gave us tips for our excursions to the beaches and other attractions. We were also lucky enough to sample his delicious cooking which included fish cakes, rum punch and coconut bread and an amazing dinner with his extended family! Lazy mornings on the patio brought opportunities to enjoy the hummingbirds feeding on the lovely blooms along with green parrots and green monkeys. A short walk through the quiet neighborhood took us to a spot overlooking the sea to watch beautiful sunsets. A visit from teeny frogs ( the size of your pinky fingernail) in the evening after a rain shower surprised and delighted us. We hated to leave this perfect vacation rental and certainly recommend it. Thank you Livy, Joyce and Peter Margo and Paul Saint John, New Brunswick

Great property with everything you need. Great location with some lovely local beaches and easy access to bus stops to other parts of the island. To top it all off Livvy is the perfect host, a real pleasure staying and we would come back without hesitation.

This spacious property is in a safe friendly neighborhood. Our host was a wealth of knowledge on Barbados, available for groceries or a tour. Pride in the gardens and property made it a pleasure to call our home away from home.

This little gem truly offers everything you need to make for a very comfortable stay in beautiful Barbados. From the highly recommended pick up and drop off option to the airport, to the warm welcoming on site host Livy who is happy to welcome you for dinner on your first night, you have everything you need in this fully stalked 2 bedroom apartment to make for a stress free stay. Close to all amenities including beach, shopping, restaurants, and night life, we highly recommend a stay at Dee Dee Villa. Thank you for a wonderful relaxing stay. Tina and Chris

Communication from the beginning was fantastic and then once we arrived I knew we had made the right choice. This is a beautiful property and Livvy works hard to keep it that way, tending his gorgeous gardens and cleaning. He is a lovely generous host and I hope to be back one day.
