2A Vervan Condos Pene's Place
We stayed here from March 1/2020 to March 22nd. This location has easy access to the beach, the pool is a definite asset , but the poolside furniture is not sufficient for the number of people staying in the condos, and the pool furniture is in bad repair. The only thing negative about the condo itself is that the screens need replacing, lots of mosquitos in March and the beach chairs need replacing, they are to small for adults. Patrick is a real pro and is always very helpful, as is Natalie the owner. Thank you for allowing us to stay here.

Thanks for your review. I will speak with the property's management in regards to the lounge furniture, unfortunately they do not belong to me. I will have Patrick look into the mesh on the front door for any repairs. Thanks for your feedback:)

Nice stay on Maxwell coast
In the apartment close to Maxwell coast we found a quiet spot and a good base for our daily trips to the southern and eastern beaches and other attractions on Barbados. The apartment is nicely furnished and maintained, the location is quiet and secure. Patrick, the house manager, welcomed us on arrival. He was friendly and helpful with all our questions conc. apartment. There are some interesting and useful places in the neighborhood – Oistins with grilled fish for the dinner, Massy (supermarket) and beaches, of course. Our favorite were Dover Beach, wild Bottom Bay and Crane Beach. But to see all these places you need a rental car… Jiri & Petr

Great experience, location, and value.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pene's. The unit is well appointed and suited for couples or families. Natalie has provided deck chairs for the beach, noodles for the pool, and assorted toys and beach pails for children.The proximity to the pool enables parents to enjoy the unit's patio while maintaining a constant watch on their children. Beach access is just across the street or through Maxwell Coast park. There is public access to the gap sea side at the end of Maxwell Coast beach by theTurtle Beach/Dover Beach hotels.It negates the need to walk around the Sandals Resort compound which adds considerable distance otherwise. We were disappointed the complex did not have a BBQ as we had brought much of our meat from Canada. It did not however dampen our experience as the gas oven/stove sufficed albeit adding heat inside the unit. Overall an Outstanding experience. Natalie was very gracious, attentive, expedient, and a very understanding host. All our correspondence with her was positive and informative. This holds true as well for Patrick her on-site Manager, and Rosalyn our maid. We did accidentally break a Vase during our stay. Natalie was very understanding and offered us the option of paying for its replacement or purchasing one. We opted to purchase one locally. She refunded our security deposit even before we had replaced the item! And there it is. The people of Barbados make every hour a Happy Hour!

Lovely apartment in a great area
We really enjoyed staying at Pene's Place. The apartment has everything you could need. Natalie was lovely and Patrick really helped us out when our flight home was cancelled! The beach is really close, although it takes a little bit of time to find the best way to reach it (eat a yummy pizza at the place opposite and ask there :-)) Easy to get buses up and down the coast to wherever you need to get to. We had a fantastic time and will definitely return! Thanks Natalie!

Staying here was awesome. Looks exactly like the pictures and Natalie was great with communication. As soon as we got in the property manager was over to greet us and answered any questions we had. I am ready to visit the beautiful island again and Pene’s Place will be a repeat stay ❤️

The property was just like the photos. It was very clean and had everything we needed a great place
We were greeted by the owner Natalie who was great and very accommodating. We had a minor problem but this was resolved immediately which was very refreshing. It was a lovely hideaway, the pool and hot tub were great areas to relax in when not out and about and I would definitely recommend this property and would stay there again. Excellent find!

Great spot to stay!
Great sized condo in a quiet area but very close to the beach and nearby restaurants and convenience stores. Two good sized bedrooms with two bathrooms and large, well equipped kitchen. Natalie and Patrick were great hosts and ensured we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Thanks guys, we had a great time and would recommend Pene's Place to anyone who wants a great place to stay while visiting beautiful Barbados. Lori and John.

Great location in quiet area, clean and well equipped
First as hosts and staff go Natalie and Patrick were brilliant! Was welcomed by Natalie and shown around the apartment of which the pictures do not do it justice. The apartment is well equipped with everything you could imagine. Just the usual self catering items to source with a local shop offering a basic selection of items. With a supermarket and dining availability a 10 min drive away. Most importantly there are beaches within walking distance. The pool area is regularly cleaned and other residents are friendly and welcoming. This was the perfect place for my children and I. Will definitely be staying at Penes Place again!

Paradise at Pene's place
Pene's place is an amazing Condo, Natalie has made sure that all the amenities of home are available, including lots of nice towels. Everything is so close, we explored so many different restaurants all within a few minutes walk or a short bus ride and we were able to met a variety of people wherever we traveled. There is a grocery store very close as well, approximately a 15 minute walk and there is also a convenience store which is a 2 minute walk away for those little things you need. We did not miss going all-inclusive at all. There is always a taxi around if this is your preferred route of transportation, but just a short walk you can take the buses anywhere in Barbados for $1 US. The use of the beach at The Barbados Beach Club across the street, was a great plus. The pool at the condo was great when we wanted to have a lazy day and just hang out at "home". Natalie made sure we were comfortable, checking in periodically to see if we needed anything. The AC in the bedrooms made for a really comfortable sleep. Having the washing machine meant we did not have to bring too many clothes which left lots of room to bring treasures back home. The WiFi is excellent. The people of Barbados are amazing so kind and very helpful. Thank you Natalie for a wonderful 2 weeks; I will definitely be booking again and I will be recommending your condo to all my family and friends.

Our Stay at Pene's Place
Just came back from Barbados. WE Loved our stay. We were 2 couples, and we have enough space , not stepping on anyone's toes. We enjoyed having a full kitchen, felt like home . The pool is a plus after a day at the beach. We used the bus and community vans a lot, only 2$ to go to Bridgetown or Oistins. Not many local restaurants in the area. We finally went to the Breezers bar and grill friday night and should have gone earlier . Closest grocery store is at Oistins. 25$ BBD to come back to condo,. We toured the island , a must to discover ! We walked a lot in Bridgetown Streets. We sure will go back and will share our little paradise to friends. Thanks!!

Beautiful, perfect location,feels like home.
Where do I start?.... I guess by saying that the service received by Natalie was impeccable! Before my family and I were even in Barbados Natalie was messaging me to inform us about the condo and surrounding areas, to check up on our travelling status, etc. Once we reached our destination we were met by a very friendly gentleman ( property manager) Patrick. Patrick showed us around and left contact numbers in case we needed anything. The condo itself is absolutely beautiful, looks even better than in the pictures which was a lovely surprise. It is very accommodating, they have everything you may need there and more, the pool and jacuzzi were just the icing on the cake, ..(& they light up) :) the neighbors are very friendly and QUIET , you begin to wonder if they're ever home. The beach is literally a 2 min walk or less from the condo and it is private so alot of the time we were there alone. Oistins fish fry is a 20 min walk or a 3min van/bus ride away & I highly recommend you head there on a friday night, I think we were there every night, mo's grill is the place to eat. There's a supermarket near the fish fry and a max's convenience store 3min from the condo. I will absolutely be staying at Pene's place Everytime I return to beautiful Barbados, the hospitality was unreal. Even when hurricane Matthew hit the island Natalie was keeping us updated on the storm and about how the island and airports were closed and where to find candles and such in the condo. She checked in daily and really made us feel like part of the family. If i could give more stars I would. ! Thank you Natalie & Patrick for being the first and last great part of our vacay. See you soon.xo.

Perfect location and great facilities
I really enjoyed my two week stay at this property. It's a perfect family villa. A great location, loads of space, very clean and tidy. The pool and jacuzzi were an instant hit. The beach is a two minute walk. Very close to both Oistins and St Lawrence's Gap. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who is looking to stay in Barbados.

Great location, perfect for small children.
This place was perfect for our family stay. It was walking distance to everything and the pool and jacuzzi were a hit with the kids. We would definitely come again. Beach is across the road, not a 5 min walk. Being able to use the amenities at the Barbados Beach resort was a nice plus too.

Amazing vacation in Barbados!
Our family (2 adults, 3 children) stayed at Pene's place from Jan. 31- Feb. 14, 2016. It was our second trip to Barbados, but the first time at Pene's place. The condo itself was very clean, nicely furnished, and very comfortable! The kitchen is fully stocked with all the appliances, flatware, pots, pans, and utensils you could possibly need. The appliances are new and are very nice quality. There were many towels for both bath and beach, nice linens, and paper products (toilet paper, paper towels). The condo is on the ground level, literally steps to the pool and Jacuzzi, which was amazing for our children. The pool area was rarely used by other guests/ residents, and the complex itself is quiet, peaceful, and situated on a quiet road. There is a small convenience/ grocery store about a 2 minute walk from the condo, and a large grocery store about a 15 minute walk away. The beach is literally less than a 5 minute walk across the road! We felt very comfortable and at-home in the condo. It is in an excellent location, as it is only a short walk to the main road and the "ZR" buses, but it is set back from the main road in a quieter area. Everything we needed- beaches, restaurants, groceries- was accessible from the condo either by walking or taking the convenient ZR buses. Natalie was a wonderful host; she called to make sure we had everything we needed, and she was kind and considerate to deal with. We definitely plan to return as soon as possible! Thank you for an amazing vacation!

Great Place to Stay
We had a great time here, the condo is in a great location just across the street from the beach, you can walk to St Lawrence Gap ( 15-20min ) and also to Oistins ( 20-30 Min ) or of course you can take one of the many ZR buses for $1 US. You can also walk to the supermarket and cab it back with your groceries, there is also a small convenience store 2-3 minutes away. The condo itself is clean, comfortable and has all modern amenities, also lots of sheets and bath and beach towels and bedrooms have A/C. As advertised WiFi is available which was very important for us ( yes, some of us do have to work even on vacation ) and the signal strength and speed were excellent, TV also has lots of channels if you are staying inn for the night. If you decide to go out there are plenty of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance and from what we could see the area was very safe. All in all we very very happy with our condo and would have no hesitation recommending it or going back for another visit. Only reason we have not given 5 stars is just a few minor issues that are not to do with the condo but more the property, swimming pool was very cold and the Jacuzzi was not working as the water heater we found out has been broken for some time. The pool / patio furniture is well past it's best and is rusting out, the umbrella actually collapsed ( just went in for a fresh drink so lucky I just missed being injured ) chairs and table look as though they are ready to go at any time. Not sure why they would buy metal furniture here in the first place with the salt sea air, should be aluminum, plastic or wicker, something that cannot rust. As mentioned these were just minor issues and certainly would not put us off from booking again, it's also a bonus to be on the ground floor as there are no elevators so you don't have to drag your luggage up the stairs.

Thanks for the fantastic review of my apartment. I'm glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay, although some of you were still in working mode. :( . Nice to know that the apartment had everything that you needed , to make your trip comfortable. Yes, the location is perfect. Close to the beaches, buses and entertainment. Thanks for bringing the condition of the patio furniture to my attention. Although the patio furniture, pool and jacuzzi are not a part of my condo, I did bring the issues up with the property manager. The patio furniture has since been removed to be replaced with a more suitable and durable set. The jacuzzi 's heater has been repaired and is now in good working order. Hopefully on your next return , it will be less work and more play:). I look forward to having you re visit Pene's Place...see you soon.
