We enjoyed being at Birdsong. We found the sleeping difficult as the one bedroom that had air conditioning had a very hard bed and the other bedroom had no airflow or air-conditioning. The gardens were very lovely and the house was in good condition beyond some windows not opening.

Barbados trip
The property is nice and the host Lorraine was very sweet and helpful when needed. The beach was ok but there were better beaches along the coast. The area is very quite but have good transport connections. There is a bus stop about 250 yds from the apartment opposite the beach that go up and down the coast and very cheap. Regarding apartment it has 2 showers but one is outside which you cannot use if you want to strip. Also the shower inside was only slightly warm at the best. The only other let down was there was no air condition in one bedroom only a fan that did not really help. Overall a nice stay and Lorraine was a great host.

All round amazing!!
From the moment we arrived it felt like a second home. Lorraine was there to welcome us with her vibrant smile and friendly personality. Everything was as we expected it to be in the most lovely setting. Peaceful most definitely, ignoring the millions and millions of frogs that gently whistle you to sleep. Communication with Lorraine was immediate and she was always on hand with advice and friendly chat. Would absolutely come back again!

Amazing property right by amazing beaches
This is an amazing VRBO property right by the beach. I would recommend it to anyone coming to Barbados and not wanting to spend thousands on a hotel. If I ever come back I will be staying here.

Family stay at Birdsong
The property was sparkling as was our host Lorraine. I thoroughly recommend this as a wonderful property in a beautiful and convenient location. The local beach was a short walk and was easy and safe swim in perfect waters. We brought our goggles which was perfect for spotting a large array of fish close to shore. There were a lot of local restaurants, with the pop up Chef Glam our favourite9n Chapel Road. The regular and fast buses made exploring the rest of the island easy. Thankyou to Lorraine for her welcome.

Lorraine was everything one would wish for in a host; friendly, charming, helpful and easy. The apartment was 5* clean and equipped with everything needed for a great stay. It was a 3 minute walk to one beach and a little longer to one or two there but had friends nearby meaning we didn’t need a car; a special placexxx

Comfortable and well-appointed
We really enjoyed our stay at Birdsong. Our ground-floor apartment was comfortable and spotless, with tasteful decor throughout. The property is fully enclosed, with a spacious front courtyard, table and chairs. The beautiful beach at Paynes Bay is a short walk away. We hope to visit again!

Location and good value for your money
So my husband and I stayed several weeks at Birdsong and after getting settled in, we were just fine staying there. It is in a residential area and sitting outside on the hill late afternoons was very pleasant as there was usually a breeze when it could be much warmer down the hill. The beach is about a 5 minute walk and when the tide is out you can walk all the way to Sandy Lane. Beware if the tide is high because one little bridge may be an issue. There is a wonderful little seafood market just down the hill on the main road to the right. We had many wonderful meals of fresh fish. Cash only. Also, just 10 to 15 minute you have "The Roti Den" for outstanding rotis (the best in our 50 day stay in Barbados) and great curries. De Clay Oven and Karibu are also very good. We had a lovely meal at Positano - get a reservation for a seaview table. You can walk into Holetown or take the bus. Jordans market about 25 minutes walk the other way. there is no hot water in the kitchen however there is a water kettle and you would have to use another bowl because only sided sink. The internet works great and we could use our laptop to watch tv shows. Fun to look for monkies, watch hummingbirds and larakeets. Lorraine was a delight to chat with and was a very nice host.

Beautiful, tropical apartment on the West coast
My husband and I spent 8 nights in the beautiful Bird Song apartment. It has a nice tropical decor and everything was spotless clean and exactly as in the pictures. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare breakfast, occasional lunch and dinner. The two bedrooms have a big closet and make-up tables. One of them has aircondition, which you don‘t really need if you leave the windows open and let the breeze get in. The area is very quiet and we always felt safe. You can walk to the local beach (3min walk) and some restaurants. We had a rental car, what we highly recommend to explore the island and to go to different beaches. We could park our car on the fenced property. Around the house is a small beautiful tropical garden with lots of flowers and palmtrees. Lorraine is a wonderful host and lives upstairs. She was always available when we had questions or needed something. We had nice talks sitting together in the front yard. Considering the accomodation prices on Barbados, this apartment offers excellent value for money. We highly recommend this apartment and would stay again any time.😎🏖

The garden was a beautiful place to relax with morning coffee, afternoon drinks or dinner. The large kitchen was very clean and well equipped. It was an easy walk to the beach and local restaurants. Lorraine, our host, responded quickly to our questions/requests and was helpful and supportive. We enjoyed or stay at Birdsong.
