This house is Beautiful! Was here with my three girlfriends celebrating my 60th birthday! The master suite onthe third floor is beautiful “A Queen’s Castle”. The rooms on the 2nd floor are very spacious and beautiful as well. The main floor which includes the living room, kitchen, and dinning area very spacious. I’d like to add that the host Emma was very communicative if she wasn’t available to answer questions she made sure to have the manager to contact me. The housekeeper Tamica is a sweetheart very helpful and keeps the place immaculate. If I ever visit Barbados in the future I’ll be for-sure be staying here again! MC

The Home was so well decorated and clean in every aspect. The host was very quick to respond to any questions that we had. The kitchen had every item that we needed and the view to the ocean is absolutely gorgeous. I would definitely visit here again! I give this villa 5 stars

Everything was wonderful! Emma was a pleasure to communicate with and the provisions she provided were much appreciated. The kitchen had everything we needed. We chose to make our own breakfasts and lunches (after a trip to the nearby Massey grocery store) and enjoyed a combination of dinners out, getting takeout and barbecuing. The three bedrooms are very comfortable and it was nice having ensuite bathrooms for all of them. Having Tamika or Caroline come by every other day was helpful in keeping everything neat and clean. The location is amazing! We loved the patio, plunge pool and garden which are all very private and the perfect place to relax and enjoy dining al fresco. The sunsets were outstanding!! I do wish we could have seen the ocean from the patio/lounge area but the bushes and hedges block the view. I recommend having water shoes for swimming in the ocean. On the first morning I stepped on a sea urchin and that was painful! Tip: it is easier to swim out front when it is high tide. We enjoyed our week at Mahogany Pod and would not hesitate to stay there again! Thank you, Emma!

We just concluded a 7 night stay at Mahogany Pod. The house was wonderful! It was clean and comfortable and contained about anything you might need. Emma was very helpful and communicative before we arrived. She answered all of my questions and offered great suggestions. We were thankful for the basic necessities that were provided (eggs, butter, cheese, milk, juice, banana bread, etc). A large supermarket (Massy) was a quick and easy bus ride (bus stop is just behind the home). Mother Nature is amazing, as when we arrived, there were numerous rocks visible off the steps to the beach. By about day 3, they were mostly covered by sand. I would have loved to have seen it before the erosion caused by storms over the past few years. It wasn’t a large issue because there is a beach just to the left that we used. In addition to the beach, we also recommend the Harrison Cave Tram, Trail and Rum Tasting, the catamaran and snorkel trip offered by ElTigre, and the Harbour Lights dinner show. Restaurants that were good include the Sea Shed, Sugar Apple, and Karibou. We didn’t particularly care for the pizza place across from the house (DeClay). We would be remiss if we didn’t give kudos to Tamica, the housekeeper, and Charlie, the gardener. They were so helpful and friendly. Also Perry the taxi driver was great! And if you want fresh fish prepared just for you and ready for the grill, Melissa at the fish hut on the beach was the best!I would highly recommend this home!
