We were two families with 5 children and it was wonderful. The kids had enough space to play and have fun when we were not at the beach! The very spacious balcony gave us a great view on the ocean and that is where we spent most of our time while there. The house was well kept and clean and offered everything we expected. We did not feel crowded at all it gave us all the space we needed. The neighborhood was great, safe, very clean, people friendly and vegetation abundant and well kept. The beach was a 10 minute walk, with great sand in and out of the water, kids really enjoyed it. As for services, they were also a 10 minute walk so everything was at hand for our needs. All things said, we really enjoyed our stay at the Seafern and would go back any day!!
Sea Fern was a fantastic place to stay for our 10 night vacation.
We had a long 9 hour flight from UK, when we arrived at Sea Fern property we was greated by a lovely lady who showed us around the house and where everything is kept, our immediate reaction was wow this was definitely worth the 9 hour flight.
Sea Fern made us feel/treat it like it was our own home and i love that homely feeling.
The house is very spacious which is great when you have 4 adults and a 2 year old.
The room's were very comfortable and the living area which is where we chilled most of the night's . the balcony is amazing at night,tranquillity,relaxing, beautiful.
The only thing i would suggest for the house is to try and make upstairs slightly cooler, this is not a negative statement because it is most definitely livable and lets face it i definitely woundnt complain when you come from London and how cold it is here hehe.
Like everyone else has stated this is in a good location in the middle of everything, although we did get a car to travel to other locations but you do not NEED one as the bus service/cab service is very good.
Overall i would most definitely recommend this to friends/family also return.
Thank you for being so easy to book with Susan and Glen also thank you for allowing us to stay.

Booking was very easy and helpful, Glen and Susan had always stayed in contacted from the time we booked and throughout our stay, even now we still have contact with them and talk on occasions. All of us girls can honestly say we've all had one of the best holidays, we all had gone there for a birthday celebration, we had had an amazing time. The service was warm and welcoming we had two people great us on arrival and show us around the place; they had made sure we were all okay and set up right, showing us how to lock up and use everything correctly, also leaving us with contact and emergency numbers. The property was spacious with a home feel, everyone had their own space when needed however we could all come together and spend time with each other as well. Every room had air conditioning as well as space to unpack. Where the property is located is amazing it was 3-5 minutes walk to the bus stop and 5-8 minutes walk to the supermarket, it was very easy for us to get to other places. Having the 3 bathrooms was very handy due to 5 girls staying in one house, we could all be ready in time. The best things about this property were location, spacious, facilities, privacy, near by stores and public transport, neighbours and locals. There was nothing we disliked about anything while staying there, one thing I must fault was that one of the single beds broke the first night however was fixed immediately. Other than that nothing was bad, everything was amazing and lived up to what was described on the site.

Spacious and clean, close location to Welches beach which we had pretty much to ourselves. Convenient grocery stores nearby and Oistins fish market for daily fresh fish and veggies. Convenient bus service which is needed to get to other destinations. Quiet neighbour, good for sleeping. Enjoyed the upstairs balcony. Made use of the laundry facilities. Enjoyed meeting Pat and Luther.
Not so much a critique but a suggestion: Upstairs should have window blinds to close during the heat of the day if air condition is not to be added; perhaps a ceiling fan in the kitchen. Linens were clean but worn; some replacement perhaps.
Personally, I would like a blender available for am smoothies. Beds are fair, for some a firmer mattress would be required

This is a great house to rent out whilst in Barbados. The house is so spacious, and plenty of areas to chill and relax. My party consisted of 5 girls all arriving and departing at different points over the course of 3 weeks. We each had our own room which had air-con (a massive advantage) and we all agreed that the ample space was one of the best features.
The house itself has the four bedrooms and 2 bathrooms downstairs, whilst the dining, kitchen, lounge, utility room and back garden (which is very nice) are all upstairs.
One of the major drawbacks is how hot the upstairs of the house can get, despite leaving the front and back doors open to encourage a breeze, the upstairs often felt like a sauna as you approached it, so could definitely benefit from some air con.
Despite that, everything you could want from a holiday home was there. The owners were kind enough to leave plenty of tourist information, and pocket guides.
There were plenty of kitchen utensils. The kitchen tap was not fitted on properly, so we had to get used to moving it slowly up and down for it to work and turn off effectively as the tap fitting would quite often come off of the unit.
The bedrooms were all good sizes, and there was plenty of room for hanging clothes and storing things away. I stayed in the master bedroom, and the only criticisms I would make are that the mirror on the wall could do with being replaced, as it was very tired and old, and that some darker curtains to block out light would help for those that are not early birds lol. Other than that it was perfectly lovely, as was the en-suite bathroom...plenty of towels for all the guests.
Location is great, unfortunately we were unlucky this year as welches beach which is just a few minutes walk was full of seaweed, as was much of the southeast coast, so we found ourselves travelling a bit further up towards rockley to use beaches which were much cleaner. However, location is ideal, as beach is a short walk, and once we found a short cut through side of some other residences, the supermarket in oistins and other amenities are only about 10 minutes. Without the short cut it takes about 15/20 minutes.
Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay at Sea fern, I would definitely recommend the house to large families or groups of friends that wish to stay somewhere affordable on the South coast, in close reach of oistins, the gap etc.

The location was ideal, close to all amenities, their were good points with this property and bad points. The house itself i could not fault, it was clean, plenty of cooking utensils. It was a very light and airy property. The only problem i had with the property was that the water pressure on the kitchen sink was not good, and in the bathroom downstairs. The mattress on the double bed was very uncomfortable you could feel the springs other than that we were very happy with the property, if they sort the problems out it would be brilliant.
Sea Fern is spacious with four good bedrooms, the lounge, kitchen, diner is all open plan leading to a balcony at the front with great views.
Within easy reach of Oistins for the Fish Fry and major bus route through to St,Lawrence Gap, Rockley Beach and Bridgetown.
The owners were very friendly and prompt with all communications, payment very easy and no hassle. Would recommend this property for an enjoyable stay on the island.
