Beachfront Studio -Sea and Sand at the West-Coast of Barbados

Gertrud, Harold and George were very helpful the entire duration of our stay. The studio and surrounding grounds were beautiful and relaxing. Our hosts gave us valuable input for activities, restaurants and driving directions. The ocean front was mesmerizing to both see and hear. My favorite aspect of the vacation was interacting with Gertrud. She is positive, intelligent and interesting with a wonderful outlook on life. All parts of this vacation were healing.

A wonderful space, and a perfect spot on the beach. This was a fantastic experience and one we will hopefully experience again.

My fiancé and l had a wonderful 11 day stay at this beautiful home/Villa. The views were amazing with the floral landscape and ocean views. We enjoyed the outdoor covered kitchen and tremendous sized balcony area. The interior was decorated with a mix of European and tropical furnishings. Very simple but very quaint and comfortable. Our host Georg and Gertrud were wonderful and so helpful. We actually got married directly on the beach at the property while there. The hosts were so accommodating in helping us on our special day. We will definitely be back to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you Georg and Gertrud!!

Wow! What an amazing place Sunshine Paradise is. Beautiful apartment with a stunning view. Gertrud is a great host, thoughtful and helpful. The beach is stunning and so relaxing. The location is quiet so it depends on what you like to do . Rascals beach bar is a few minutes walk away as is Stade Rum Distillery. For trips further afield you need car, taxi or bus, all very easy to use. We would love to return and really appreciate Gertrud sharing her home!

Steps to the beach.

The location is absolutely outstanding! Located steps from the beach, we spent hours in the ocean everyday. The location is close to stores, restaurants, and a rum distillery is about 100 yards north. The on site host George was available and assisted us with anything we asked for while giving us privacy. Communication with the owner, Gertrude was easy and timely. The apartment is spacious, with an air conditioned bedroom, a large bathroom and an outdoor kitchen. There is a lovely veranda that overlooks the beach/ocean where we spent many evenings. On top of the close proximity to the beach, there is a refreshing swimming pool. The property also has floats, kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear for use. Sunshine Paradise is a great private retreat for a real island experience.

This clean, spacious, and comfortable apartment was just perfect. The quiet and relaxing setting was just what we were looking for. Steps from the white sandy beach with its clear aqua waters was a delightful way to spend the day! Beach chairs, loungers, table, and umbrella is available for your use under the palm or almound tree. There is even a kayak and snorkeling equipment for your entertainment. Most importantly, the hosts, Gertrude and Harold, were the nicest people, Always available to answer any questions. La Cabana, a restaurant at one end of the beach, served very good food in a perfect setting. We also recommend Donna's Kitchen, a local take out place. Her shrimp tacos were the best ever! We rented a car which allowed us to travel to all parts of the island! Thanks, Gertrude, for the great week!

Gertrud is the most welcoming of hosts, and Brighton Beach is one of the most spectacular beaches in Barbados! The bachelor is very spacious, with. huge outdoor terrace, with the most amazing view of the beautiful garden and directly on to the beach. The outdoor kitchen is a bit like glamping, but had the basics. We rented a car for our stay, which allowed us to do all of our shopping and go to our favourite restaurants and attractions around the island. I miss it already!

My wife and I stayed here over Christmas and could not be happier with our experience. The property is beautiful and located right on the beach, what a great feeling stepping onto the beach in the morning for a walk or swim! The studio was clean and everything we needed was there. Gertrud is also a super host, really helpful with everything and lots of information for us. Really can't praise Gertrud or the property enough!

We booked to stay for 2 weeks in early December, but had to leave 4 days early, because of the poor standard of cleanliness and comfort. We had to move on to another property as we were so disappointed and unhappy with the state of the apartment. Filthy pillows, mattress and stained sheets. Ripped and dirty outside seat coverings. Old and rusty kitchen equipment. Broken shower fitting. Frayed towels. Cracked and chipped crockery. A piece of string for a washing line. When I pointed out the 4 filthy pillows to the owner, she only replaced 2 of them and put the other 2 badly stained ones underneath the new ones. The pictures on the website must have been taken many years ago, as they do not portray the reality of the accommodation. On the plus side, it is ideally situated just in front of a lovely sandy beach, with a safe clear sea.
