It was such a pleasant stay - a little off the beaten path so a vehicle is a good idea. The beach isn't for anyone that's a poor swimmer, but it's lovely, and easy to fall asleep to the waves at night! Would stay here again, the staff were wonderful, everything was clean and well kept. Thank you!

This is a wonderful place to stay but you do need to hire a car to really get the best of it. Lots of great customer care and attention.

Nice but remote
Property is fairly remote, need to take a bus pretty much everywhere. Downstairs apartments feel moldy. Staff super friendly and management very responsive trying to accommodate all guests needs. This is a perfect place for the surfers or person writing a book but not so good for people wanting to be on beach or go out in evenings.

The view is all it has going for it. The owner is mean and not welcoming at all and stays on the property. We had no privacy because the staff would just come into our place without knocking and because there is no air condition we had to leave the windows open and the ground keeper would always be looking into the windows. I do not recall the site saying there was no air condition on this property so this was a bit uncomfortable for us. Again because the windows had to stay open and there are no screens we got bit up by mosquitoes, roaches were in the kitchen, and a stray cat would come inside. This place is not worth the money!

Response from Prudance - Manager on Jan 19, 2020
It is very interesting to read these remarks, after what you did. To address your false accusations in your review: The unit you stayed in has a/c. Our staff members have never behaved as you described but rather did as required in an upmarket rental facility. Our unit has curtains and as you decided not to use the a/c because as you stated you did not want to pay for its use, you opened the windows for our lovely tradewinds. The unit we offered to accommodate your party of 6 was prepared for you during the night of arrival and the housekeeper was sent the following morning to make sure the group was comfortable. Not once did you address any issues such as roaches or mosquitoes, which by the way is not a problem at our property as it is maintained to the highest standard. The owner was not rude rather your daughter accosted him after he politely told her that smoking was prohibited in the unit but rather she could do it outside. In which you all were briefed on during the check in process. As you now attacked us in such an unfair manner, with every deceptive word you say, we unfortunately need make the true situation: Let us start by delving into the real reason behind these remarks. You booked and paid for 4 pers & intended to stay with 6 pers. Knowing that the unit you booked and paid for was for a max. 4 pers. On the day of arrival, as stated 6 pers arrived, as the manager and person meeting you on arrival, I asked about the plans for the 2 persons and got different stories. When it was observed, that later none of your party had requested transport to the other accommodation supposedly booked. The party was confronted & you became aggravated, noting your plans for the 2 people fell through, however the party confirmed that you all knew 1 week prior to arrival and if any questions were asked just say what you told them to say. Furthermore after the derogative language used by yourself & daughter, we still wanted to accommodate you all. We offered a unit for the 2 persons you turned it down, finally the owner and myself suggested our unit which can accommodate 5 persons maximum and added a fold out bed to accommodate all 6 persons. After this you and your daughter were still behaving very repugnant. Upon preparing the other unit which was quite an addition of work in the late evening hours , involving inconvenience and extra cost for our staff members. Your father apologized for your behaviors noting that the entire party knew that the intention was for 6 persons to stay even though the booking was for 4 persons. We have to say after all, you were a very special group, a one of a kind in 27 years of operations. It wasn’t fun having you and we are now licking our wounds fixing the damages you left us with. We just hope that this may be a warning for all other places you might possibly book through Expedia and any other booking platforms. As now your true motives for such atrocious remarks can be seen. Just to note this will not derail

All round excellence, would recommend.
Lovely place to stay, away from the busy-ness of the main strip, but only a 10minute drive to Oistins. The gardens are beautifully maintained, always somewhere comfortable to find the sun or shade. The villas themselves are extremely well kept and clean, very comfortable beds. Prudance and Ginger can't do enough to help you if needed. As a bonus there is a nice little reef-break out the front to have a surf on...nothing too extreme, but generally you'll have it to yourself so can pick and choose your waves...great for kitesurfing as well.

My husband and I were delighted with Inchcape Seaside Villas, The property is Beautiful and the manager and Housekeepers were wonderful. We loved our Villa, complete with all the little touches that made it So Special , Our Veranda was very private over looking the Ocean, and having the Kitchen was a real Plus. Good towels, Great Ceiling Fan, Great T.V. We would highly recommended this Lovely Place to stay in Barbados. Thank You .Janet & Marcel

Lovely property on the south coast of Barbados. The unit I stayed in was very nice and comfortable. The staff at Inchcape were great from the manager Prudence to the housekeeping staff especially Ginger and the taxi service Rodney. They were always pleasant and did whatever they could to make my stay enjoyable. I did not meet the owners even though they were on site for several days of my stay. The view of the sea from the property was beautiful, however the abandoned hotel directly next door unfortunately is an eyesore.

Thank you Judi for your wonderful comments and feedback on your stay with us at Inchcape Seaside Villas. We do understand your feelings in regards to the hotel next door, but as you were able to see and enjoy we do our best to take care and maintain our own property as we have no control what other owners do with their property. But from your review I can see that did not stop you from enjoying our lovely property and island, We do look forward to having you stay with us again in the future.

Put it this way there wasnt anything i didnt like about my stay at Inchcape! They are beautiful Villas situated on the southern tip of the Island of Barbados. You wake up to the sound of the ocean and rest your head at night to the same. There are beautiful flowers and palm trees everywhere! You here the sound of roosters in the background and if your fortuntate enough you will see wild monkeys in and out of bushes and trees. You can relax on your own personal deck or sit and enjoy the courtyards! The kitchens are fully equipped for making meals. There is also beautiful art work throughout the villas. If you want to enjoy a day at your own personal beach its right there for you to do that. The staff is lovely! Very friendly and always there to help you with really anything. I honestly cant say enough about my stay at Inchcape and the Island of Barbados! It was the most wonderful experience of my life, Barbados is a very spiritual place. Thankyou to Prudence and Ginger and Shamara and all of the staff. I cannot wait to visit again! Thankyou so much!

Quiet, peaceful, a gem. Wolfgang and Prudance were so helpful coordinating our vacation in regular communication to coordinate a car, airport transfer and any general about Barbados questions we had to make our stay more enjoyable. The staff are attentive and discreet. The property grounds are lovingly maintained. You can chose the rest on day beds, take a dip and rinse off or eat outside in the privacy of your unit. We stayed in the Garden unit and were thoroughly impressed. The bed was comfortable and the linens were lovely. The bathroom seemed to have been recently updated and elegant. The kitchen was well appointed and we ate in often. We decided to hire a car which was necessary to get groceries, buy fish, see other beaches and tour the island. We didn't attempt to navigate the bus/taxi options but people are so friendly and willing to help so we might try next time. Kite-surfers, Sailboarders and Surf boarders are blessed with prime conditions for the sport here, steps away from Inchcape (and beautiful to watch from the beach) Swimming here is tricky but cooling off and jumping in the waves possible. Our goal was to rest and enjoy the island. Mission accomplished! We will definitely return to Inchcape and bring our adult children.

Quiet spot right on the beach in the South of Barb
Exceptionally helpful and friendly management and staff. Recommend a car. Short walk to a nice beach bar. Onsite beach is handy for a quick dip, but suited more to boarders. Short drive to the excellent Miami Beach for swimming/sunbathing.

I had to book another hotel when I got there. I wish I read carefully other reviews in regards to the coconut cottage. It was at the back - not near the front of the ocean. There's no a/c. There's no screen for mosquitoes. And there were many mosquitoes. In one hour I was bitten 10 times on my body. They offer candles and other stuff but those do not work for me. The area is located in a secluded area at night I am reminded to lock the gate. As a solo female- I felt unsafe. Unfortunately I did not get a refund on cleaning fee and cancellation.

Response from Inchcape Management on Dec 13, 2018
It is very disheartening to read this after you spoke to the fact that you were checking out as you were leaving the island early because of the mosquitos, It is quite shocking to read that you are now stating that it was the property when initially you stated it was not the property or the room but you could not stay on the island and to cancel the cruise which was booked for during your stay when you arrived. It is still amazing as we accommodated you on the property for hours prior to your check in to the room, as you came way before our scheduled check in time of 4 pm, even relaxing in our Garden area for a while during your wait and not once did you mention mosquitos or being bitten. Furthermore you were asked to lock your entrance and patio door at night, as you should, the area and island is safe but we always remind guests to be aware of their surroundings. For example, one will not go out and leave their bag open with their purse hanging out and unattended. Coconut is one of our very popular apartments for couples and single persons, views of the ocean can be seen from the patio. We clearly state in our information on the booking site there is no air condition and the room comes with a ceiling fan. Also, on request an extra fan would be issued. Just to add the unit has a mosquito net for attachment over the bed. We could not issue a refund of any kind as when you stated you were checking out, you noted it was not the property or the room but you are leaving the island and that was not sufficient to warrant a refund. I hope if you continued to stayed on the island that you had a wonderful stay. All the best and take care!

Felt like heaven on earth.
This place is close to heaven on earth. For us this place was magnificent. We could choose to be close to other people by taking the bus into either Oistins or Bridgetown OR you could choose to be private. Even though the beach was public, it nearly felt like a private beach as there was only a few guests at the property. The landlord Wolfgang and his wife was friendly and welcoming, giving good advice on where to go and what to see. They live at the property. And the Manager, Sharice was simply awesome. A big help for what ever question we had, - restaurants, transportation, car rental, places to see ... even also after we left the property. The appartment was wonderful - equipped with all needed things to have a good stay - no matter if you cook or just do easy living. Clean, spacy and welcoming. Outdoor room was big, clean and easy to use and model. One thing to notice : Chicken Rita is close by - but unfortunately we did not experience her food as she decided not to cook the night we wanted to go. The other restaurant close by was under renovation - so it ended out with getting dinner delivered. An other learning : rent a car ! it makes everything easier and it is not a problem driving in the left hand side for us normally driving in right hand side.

A recommander sans hésiter!
Cet établissement est magnifique et au pied de la plage. Le confort est de haut niveau et le cadre magnifique. Les abords sont un peu moins sympas mais aucun souci d’accès en voiture ou ZR (taxis locaux) ni de sécurité. L’accueil sur place est agréable et serviable. Une adresse à recommander au Sud de la Barbade.
