    Perfect location on Instagramable Caribbean beach !

    Clive was a wonderful host & was very eager to ensure that we were comfortable & had everything we needed and even kindly arranged a half day island tour! This well equipped self contained flat is located below his own home, but is totally private. The highlight however is definitely the location…. It is literally on the beach (separated securely by just a wall with a locked gate) which is totally safe it - benefitting from security guards of the next door hotel on the public beach. Clive kindly lent us beach chairs & we enjoyed the perfect sunset photos with affordable cocktails from the friendly beach bar. Westskye is really the perfect place to be for budget conscious travellers. Thank you Clive!!

    Location is amazing, you can pretty much fall out onto the beach. Clive and his family are brilliant hosts, super helpful and the apartment is a really great location within walking distance of Holetown. There are two good beach bars within a really short walk, and the sunsets are incredible every single night!

    A wonderful little apartment with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The place was spotlessly clean, and we even received a welcome gift of fresh mangos - a thoughtful personal touch that made us feel immediately at home. The bed was cosy, the kitchen well-equipped for self-catering, and the Wi-Fi was strong and reliable (even if we barely used our phones because we were too busy relaxing!). Our hosts were a lovely family, with an adorable dog, who went above and beyond to help with anything we needed, including offering lifts when needed. One of my favorite parts was making breakfast and enjoying it on the patio with a beautiful view of the beach. The nearby bus stop made getting into the city center easy, and we always felt safe returning. The real bonus was the private entrance to the beach, you could be lying on the sand within minutes. Ideal for couples or solo travelers looking for a peaceful escape and a place that feels less like a tourist spot and more like a home away from home. Just what we needed.

    The house is right next to the road so there can be some traffic noise but didn't really bother us.

    Clive was a great host, very helpful overall. The guesthouse has direct access to the beautiful beach, where there are also some beach bars nearby. It's along the road where buses can be caught to Speightstown or Bridgetown and the Airport. Clean good size accommodations with a kitchen with amenities, TV room, bedroom and bathroom with shower. Had all we needed for a short stay. Would be happy to stay here again

    Clive and his family were great and so accommodating. The location was perfect and the back yard had a private entrance right down to the beach front. Good restaurants nearby and a short bus ride or 30 minute walk to the supermarket. The apartment had everything you could possibly need and more. Great value for money!

    I can't think of anything.

    The host and family were wonderful. Very welcoming and caring. As a solo traveller I felt safe and very comfortable. Nice, compact, cool space. Slept so well. Stone throw to the beach so woke up and swam every morning. Perfect time for swim because no direct sun so spent hours in the warm water. Close to shops, restaurants and friendly nieighbours. Bus stop just outside so easy to tour around the island. Loved the hosts, looked after me so well. Really appreciated their kindness. Definitely somewhere I would return. The sounds of the waves at night added to my amazing sleeps and beautiful experience. So grateful 🙏

    Unique little apartment in the most ideal location. The owners are very kind and helped us out with whatever questions we had. The location made the entire stay incredible as we could enjoy the beach whenever we wanted. The air conditioning and wifi worked perfectly. The apartment is equipped to cook your own food. There is a washing machine available for laundry and a clothes lines to dry your clothes. They provided a beach bag, beach blanket and beach umbrella. There is snorkel and other equipment available for rent from the owners. Overall this accommodation made for a perfect two week stay.

    We stayed at Westskye for nearly 3 weeks and had a great holiday. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped and our hosts Clive and Sheldeen couldn't have been more helpful. We arrived late but Sheldeen drove us into Holetown so that we could get some much-needed beer at the gas station. After a long stressful journey it was much appreciated to be able to sit out on the raised seating area with a beer, looking out over the sea, just relaxing. The following morning she took us into Holetown again so that we could get some cash and do a mountain of shopping at Massy's - then she brought us home again! The apartment has a good sized and well equipped kitchen/dining area, there is a compact sitting area with comfortable seating and a TV, the bedroom has a very comfortable bed and A/C and there is an en-suite bathroom. Outside there are a couple of chairs & a small table, then you have the lovely raised seating area which enables you to sit and look out over the beach while enjoying a drink. The wi-fi signal is strong. The apartment is right by the beach - there is a high wall but go out of the back gate and there is a door through the wall. Go down a short flight of steps and you're on the beach. If you want you can rent chairs and an umbrella (BD$45) from Rico's on the beach but the apartment has two folding chairs which you can take on the beach for free. One day, after it had been raining, I slipped on the steps to the beach. When they found out Clive and Sheldeen pressure washed the steps, even though it wasn't their responsibility. If you don't want to cook Ju Ju's beach bar is a short walk away and serves good value fish platters, but they close early (6.15pm is roughly last orders for food). There are a couple of expensive restaurants nearby, otherwise it's easy to get a bus into Holetown where there's more choice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Westskye.

    Small beachside accommodation with everything provided

    Apartment was small and the view was limited from the inside.

    The apartment could not have been better equipped. The hosts had thought of everything that guests were likely to need and provided it. An elevated area with sunshade, overlooking the beach, was available for guests. Good beach was yards/metres away and several others within walking distance. Many nearby restaurants along the beach. Supermarket and many others stores within walking distance (1 to 2 km). Parking adjacent to accommodation. Very friendly, helpful hosts e.g. they told us when men working on a nearby building were needing to drill and delayed the drilling until we went out. We were allowed to check in early.
