This beach cottage is great for those wanting to immerse themselves in Bajan culture. Located 3 blocks away is the only supermarket between Fitts and Holetown or Fitts and Bridgetown. This is convenient for when you can't or won't go out for dinner. Right across the street from the store is Il Tempio restaurant, with great food and friendly staff. You can even set up a tour with their neighbor, Dave, who runs Westend Taxi Service. Wendy's, a rum bar, was closed for a month during our stay, but it comes highly recommended.
The one drawback is the location. As it is on the main drag to just about everywhere, the noise from traffic can be pretty loud. Oddly, the noise seems louder in the cottage than on the patio or the beach deck. But honestly, the noise didn't bother me after the first day. When inside, I turned on the TV and the traffic became like white noise. I couldn't hear the traffic from the downstairs bedroom at night, and my son said he couldn't hear the noise from the loft bedroom either.
The island has just so much to do. We took a spin on the infamous yellow bus, but once was enough. The blue buses are perhaps a bit safer. We took an island tour and went all over the island. The Monkey Reserve and snorkeling in Bridgetown were our favorites. Just beware of Cherry Hill Reserve. There are a lot of talented artists up there who only take cash, and a gentleman who will sell you a coconut for 10.00 US dollars. Don't assume his offer is part of the tour!
Debbie was the best hostess! The fridge was stocked with food for what amounted to three days of breakfast. She offered so much helpful advice and she was so friendly and bubbly, I could talk to her all day. This place is a real gem.
