The property was located in a transitional space surrounded by residential properties where there were barking dogs and construction underway. We were in unit 8 which was a bit of a hike especially when carrying a lot of items like groceries or beach gear. Overall the interior of the property itself was very clean and served our family nicely for our short stay on the island. One callout it would have been nice for a little additional seating for guests.

The property itself was modern with bedrooms downstairs, living area and kitchen on the first floor and a seating area on the roof. The agent was friendly meeting us explaining the lockbox etc On the first day of our holiday we were asked if it was ok for the agents to show people around as the building was for sale. This was not a problem. Unfortunately we were surprised by an additional bill a tourist/resort charge which arose after booking therefore it was a surprise to us and Expedia did try to do something to help but we ended up paying this charge. There was easy access to the beach across the road opposite Juma’s. People at Juma’s were very nice. The villa is in walking distance of Lone Star too. An earlier review alerted us to the noise of neighbouring chickens and dogs. We used the villa as a base to explore the island. We had a nice time in Barbados. It is beautiful and lovely being in St James close to gorgeous beaches.

Spacious villa with a well appointed kitchen. The rooftop pool was a great way to end a day exploring the island. Head to Rico’s for daily beach chair rental, just a little further than Juma’s. The nearby beach is a real highlight, as was dinner at the Lonestar.

Very nice but not quite as described

The kitchen is well equipped except for only one frying pan. The roof terrace is very nice, has a fridge, large dining table and two sunbeds. The villa (it's not really a villa but more of a townhouse since you share walls with a neighbor) we stayed in (Garden Grove nr 3) had a nice small pool on the ground floor, NOT on the roof terrace as shown in the images. It's a bit unclear what you are actually booking through hotels.com. The 3 bedrooms on the second floor had comfortable beds and lots of hangers and closet space. The two baths had live showers. There is also one more toilet downstairs. In the info I received via hotels.com it said I'd be getting a message/e-mail from the property 72h before check-in, but this never came. I called them and the lady I spoke to seem oblivious to this. We agreed I would call again on arrival. We were met by the housekeeper who let us in. I recommend using WhatsApp to call and message them (use the number provided by hotels.com) since this is much cheaper than regular calls/SMS. Housekeeping is twice weekly. We only asked for some new towels and some tabs for the dishwasher, as the lady didn't show up until late in the afternoon instead of during the day when we were out so didn't want her cleaning while we were cooking and showering etc. She seemed happy to not have to do anything. All in all I think this place is probably good value for money and good for a party of 4-6 people (sleeping 2+2+2).
