Wonderful Stay
Mahogany Pod was perfect for our family! The location is great, with easy access to the bus into Hole Town and a short walk to QP Bistro and The Cliff. The property is clean, private and well stocked with dishes and everything you would need should you want to eat in. Emma was an amazing host, with timely communication and she made our arrival to Mahogany Pod easy, comfortable and welcoming. Tamica was warm and friendly, I will miss her. We were sad to leave this home away from home and can’t wait to return. Thank you Emma!

The house is absolutely gorgeous, even better than the photos. It has a calming and relaxing vibe and is tastefully furnished. Plenty of space and equipped with everything you need. We had such a lovely family holiday, our first time to Barbados and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Communication with the owner was great. The housekeeper and manager were both very helpful during our stay. We would love to visit again

Beautiful View
Mahogany Pod is a beautiful property with stunning architecture. The house was very clean and well stocked. The views from every bedroom are stunning! Each room has its own full bathroom and dressing room. The fish market next door is convenient and inexpensive. We went to the upscale restaurants in the area and they were all lovely, but the fresh fish on the grill was certainly a treat. The beach in front of the property is great for snorkeling. If you walk on the beach to the right of the property, you will walk past many hotels. All the beaches are public, so you can utilize these areas to lay out or find swimming areas. The water comes up to the house at high tide and the sound of the ocean is wonderful to hear slapping against the sea wall. Suggestions: Go to Clifton Market in the Limegrove shopping area rather than Massys for food shopping. They have meats and foods that are closer to the comforts of home. They also had lots of gluten free/allergy options. The house is on a busy street. The sound of the street is loud. You can hear it throughout the house, but not when you are on the beach. The resorts are also on this road, so if the noise will bother you, Paynes Bay may not be the area for you. Our vacation was lovely! We very much enjoyed having the plunge pool!! We miss Barbados and the warm weather! Thank you Mahogany Pod for wonderful memories! 💛🇧🇧

A Little Piece of Paradise
Our stay here was remarkable. Being able to hear and see the ocean was so relaxing. We loved being able to walk right onto the beach, snorkel, go for a swim and come back with a rum punch from the fish market. Great location with easy access to a lot of places. Tamika and Emma were extremely helpful and be sure to say hi to Carl, the gardener. We hope to be back next year!

Fabulous stay at Mahogany Pod
Superb house, just as stunning as the photos! The accommodation was beautiful, to a very high standard and well maintained. The evening sunsets from the G&T balconies were fabulous! It was great to walk through the garden straight onto the beach - for a walk, swim or to buy fresh fish next door. The team at the house (property manager, house keeper, groundsmen) were really helpful. Thank you to Emma for making our holiday so memorable, her communication was outstanding. We hope to return to Mahogany Pod again soon!

Amazing, amazing, and some more amazing!! Mahogany Pod was exceptional from A to Z. My family enjoyed every moment of our stay! The property was everything we hoped for and SO much more! The staff helped us with every single detail, and question. They took care of all of us, from 8 to 75 years old. The inside and outside of the property is clean and beautiful. Location, location and location! Everything thing was minutes away walking, bus, and taxi. Most importantly I could watch my three children from the deck playing on the beach and swimming in the ocean. Not only will we be back but for a longer stay! Pure perfection in ALL aspects of this property and the amazing people that make it wonderful. Thank you

The villa exceeded all of our expectations for our firs-time trip to Barbados. The views were amazing, the villa was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a fantastic vacation. The owner provided a welcome package of groceries, arranged airport pick-up, and was very easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend this villa and hope to stay here again in the near future.

The perfect spot to stay in Barbados
The whole booking process was so easy and Emma was incredibly helpful throughout. The property is very well finished and has everything you could need, including weekday visits from Tamika who was just so lovely and kept the place looking immaculate. The house is located right on the beach, which was a fantastic scene to wake up to every day. Easy to get to many other destinations (we rented a car but taxis also very straightforward). We had the best time and would absolutely recommend this place!

Amazing break at Mahogany Pod
We have just arrived home from a wonderful 2 week break at Mahogany Pod. The house is absolutely beautiful. It is spotlessly clean and stylishly furnished. The house has everything you need for a perfect holiday. Dealing with the owner Emma, was very easy and a pleasure. She sent through a great pack of local information. Paulette the lady who came in 5 days a week was lovely and ensured that the house was spick and span for us. Emilee the house manager was very efficient and she was always on hand to deal with any queries. A word out also to Carlos the gardener who keeps the gardens looking so wonderful. Just a few steps across the perfectly manicured gardens and you are on a stunning beach, you can swim, snorkel, pick up boat rides or arrange any motorised or non motorised sports you could wish for. Our favourite thing to do each evening was to sit on the beach with a rum punch in hand, in a deck chair watching the sun go down whilst our boys made sandcastles. Bliss. We even saw turtles swimming off of the beach! There is parking at the property and we hired a jeep to travel the island. There are restaurants/ bars in the area, you can walk to some or others are a short drive or bus ride. We took advantage of the barbecue and ate in most nights. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this house to anyone and hope that we can return again. Thank you Emma and all for such a brilliant holiday.

There are no words that can properly describe Mahogany Pod or Paynes Bay or Barbados. You simply have to go yourself! I can try by saying the villa was definitely 5 star, the owner Emma was amazing from start to finish, Tamica the housekeeper was an absolute joy, and the views, the views, the views - the sea literally lapped the steps at the bottom of the private garden, at 5.45pm every evening we all took our rum punches to stand in the water and gaze for 45 mins at a different sunset every night, speechless at the beauty. If I could go again tomorrow, I would. Plenty of local restaurants, bus stops right outside the property, an amazing fish market next door, Rhiannas place a 5 minute stroll along the beach, it was perfect. Thank you Emma, and thank you beautiful Barbados :))
