Coville was nice and cozy, it felt like a home away from home. It was well equipped with everything you needed and the modern gadgets was a nice touch. The air conditioning worked nicely and kept the whole house cold. The backyard was spacious and breezy, it was a good place to relax and hang out with friends. Kathryn was a lovely host, it was very easy to get in contact with her and she responded in a timely manner. Overall, my stay at Coville was great and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an affordable homely place to stay.

  • Emergency info?

    Reach out to Aunt Sheilah next door, if not a medical emergency. If a fire or medical emergency occurs, call 911.


  • How do I access WIFI and other information?

    There is an information sheet in the laundry area next to the kitchen which includes wifi, cable, tv and other information. As well, once you book, we will send you a link to a series of YouTube videos that show you how things work too!


  • What’s the laundry situation?

    There is a Whirlpool washing machine which you can use. Hang clothes under the car park to dry — we don’t use a dryer to help the environment. Do NOT overload the washing machine with towels. Try to wash smaller loads, more often.


  • Garbage day and other info?

    Garbage bags and other suppliers are located in the kitchen in the cupboards (hutch and under the sink).  Garbage day is supposed to be Thursday. Please put the bin and recycling out. on Wednesday night in front of the gates. They may show up, they may not — it’s the island....


  • How do I get more supplies?

    This is a home, not a hotel. We try to keep toiletries, laundry detergent and cleaning supplies fully stocked up, however if you run out of something, simply go buy more, just like you would do at your own home.


  • What happens if a small repair is needed?

    For small repairs, simply walk to the side structure next to the house and ask for Rudy. He is our handyman and he lives there. He’s a lovely man who can assist you.

We had a great time here. Coville is located in a good safe neighbourhood within walking distance to Miami beach and Oistins fish fry. You don't need to rent a car. The ZR vans run just outside the door if you need to get to Oistins, Bridgetown or St. Lawrence Gap or anywhere else. Lovely location, environment and a comfortable stay – a convenience store is nearby and also restaurants, beach, and supermarket.

Tips

  • What’s the electricity voltage?

    Barbados operates on a 115V supply voltage and 50Hz the same as most North American countries. For EU and UK currencies, you will need an adaptor. 


    Note: Electricity is VERY expensive on the island, so please TURN OFF the air conditioning and the lights when you are not home. The house cools down fast, the electricity bill does not.


  • What transportation options are available?

    For transportation, simply step outside the gates and hail a ZR. $3.50 BIM.


    For taxi’s, restaurants and other fun spots, there is lots of information on the hutch or check out Instagram - all the best bars, activities and restaurants have a page with tons of information. 


    There are so many very cool things to do in this neighbourhood!
