Traditionelles 3-Bett-Haus am Strand

We just spent a week at Whitecaps with our group of 6 and had the BEST time! Yes..the property is on the older side BUT…it’s VERY clean, VERY spacious and the pictures really don’t do it justice. It’s in the most perfect location and you can hear the ocean always. The open-air family room makes it feel like you are always outside right on the beach (the pics of this especially don’t do it justice! Trust me!) And then there is the chef! Whaple is AMAZING. We have never had eggs like hers! And her zucchini boats…OMG…even our picky teen said she was obsessed. I’m not a big fish eater like some of the other adults in our party but I have never had snapper (prepared two ways) like what Whaple cooked for us. Her pumpkin fritterstoo…I could go on about her cooking. Also the yard/garden by the beach is a dream. Again, the pictures don’t do it justice. If you aren’t a “resort” person (we are not as we like to get a little taste of the local culture when we travel abroad)..this is your place. It’s not “posh” in a resort or even condo way…but it’s truly beautiful and frankly MUCH better. Thank you for a perfect week

We really enjoyed the charming old house. The beachfront location is wonderful. The staff also deserve high praise; the two ladies prepared a fantastic breakfast for us every day. However, a drawback was that the garden was very limited in its use due to the large, poisonous manchineal trees. Although a warning sign indicates that the fruit is poisonous, there is no mention that even after rain, drops falling from the leaves can cause severe skin irritation. My husband had to be treated by a doctor for eye irritation caused by this. The provided tent offers only very limited shelter. We found it incomprehensible that only four sun loungers were provided for the house, which was rented for six people. Furthermore, after three weeks of island hopping, we were disappointed by the lack of a washing machine, which was mentioned in the description. The fantastic rainbow over the turquoise sea and the romantic sunsets were highlights, but unfortunately, these were beyond the owners' control.

Booking on line went well. The descriptor of the villa was spot on. The location on Mullins beach with access to the water was super. Adjacent very good eateries that were just a short walk away was wonderful. The house and rooms were great with air conditioning and fans for comfortable sleeps. The cook, gardener and housekeeper were wonderful (love that macaroni cheese dish). Needed to have upfront clarity about their frequency of services though. The chef dinner was awesome. Concierge delivered on all that was requested. Close to food stores by car (5-10 minutes). Safe neighborhood and pleasant locals. Lots to see and do on the island. Car rentals are very easy.

We really loved our stay in Barbados and loved the house on the beach. The location was perfect for us.

Location, Beach and Relaxation was amazing and 5 stars. The communication and follow through on cleaning could be improved.
