Vacation rentals in The Whim

Amazing, peaceful home beautifully set out and tranquil beyond relief. Very thoughtfully put together and gracious hosts.

We had a great stay at Anna's. Like all the reviews say, the place is as described and the pool is fantastic. Anna provided a ton of linens, as well as dish soap, paper towels and cleaning products. It is also in walking distance to the surf beaches, which was important to me! My only note, which I let Anna know, is that the pin location was not accurate, so I got lost since I'm not familiar with the roads and had to ask a couple of residents how to get there based on the pictures of the house. I hope this is updated before the next stay!

We really liked this spacious comfortable attractive apartment. Owner Rob and manager Orissa communicated well and were flexible and helpful about checkin and checkout times. It was well equipped, with details like (new) beach towels, soap, kitchen essentials, adapter plugs. It is in a lively area, close to amenities and good beaches. The bar opposite is quite noisy until 10pm but had a live reggae band one night which we enjoyed.

We stayed at Kashka's property for 4 days. The land surrounding the cottage is stunning and the cottage itself has plenty of space and beautiful custom wood work. We saw green monkeys and horses in the neighboring properties. Kashka is friendly and around when you need him. We recommend this spot to anyone wanting to enjoy a peaceful and nature-driven stay.

We stayed at Rachel’s beautiful waterfront property in Barbados for nearly three weeks, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The view was absolutely breathtaking — waking up to the ocean every morning was a dream come true. Rachel was an outstanding host with incredibly fast and thoughtful communication throughout our stay. She made everything seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a relaxing, scenic escape with a host who genuinely cares!

Milena was the sweetest and went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible! My only complaint is the lack of a proper table to sit and eat at, which made eating meals inside difficult. There were many more positives. The location on the water was super relaxing but had a bit of foot traffic in front as there was a walking path just outside of the porch. I also recommend walking to the Driftwood restaurant in the South Point Hotel (about a 5-minute walk). It was quiet, with great service and delicious food!

Quiet, beautiful spot on the south end of the island. Great, private view of the beach and mangroves from sprawling gardens. Occasional monkey visitors. Practical kitchen with needed equipment. Good ac in bedrooms. Giant sliding door for the main room. Strong WiFi in office and most of house and immediate deck (occasionally unstable but think that’s island issue). 15 min to grocery store. Most higher end restaurants and resort beaches on northwest coast 30 min+. Short walk down to beach - rough not swimmable but beautiful. Host was the most helpful we’ve ever had with Airbnb. Helped with all kinds of activity / reservations (for a nominal fee).

It was a very nice place and looks just like the photos! A beautiful view and beautiful home. Host answered any questions I had promptly and was very helpful in the information she gave. Would definitely go back!

Ann is an exceptional host. Ann demonstrated great flexibility and responsiveness from our initial pre booking enquiries all the way through to our checking out after 13 wonderful days in Ann’s beautiful home. Upon arrival Ann took great care to explain everything we needed to know about the property, how things worked, the refuge regime, local information etc etc. As a host Ann’s overriding concern was for our enjoyment throughout our stay. Ann is in no way condescending as one previous reviewer suggested, Ann is simply a thorough, thoughtful and warm host. The property itself is truly fully equipped, very spacious, spotlessly clean and if anything is even better than the photographs suggest. The views are wonderful, the locality extremely convenient being within easy walking distance of a good sized supermarket, lovely sandy beach and very good restaurants. We have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending Villa Sophara.
