The villa is located around 75 metres from the seafront so no need for a pool. It is deceptively large with 3 double bedrooms all with en-suite which provided more than enough space for our group of 6. Heather, the owner provided some basic provisions which meant that we didn't need to worry about breakfast. This was very helpful given that we arrived at around 8:00pm. Heather was in regular contact throughout our 14 day stay to check that all was going to plan and additionally provide some inside info on bars, restaurants etc. The Kitchen has recently been refurbished and we did eat in on a coule of nights. The BBQ was also put to good use. All in all Maple Villa made for a very enjoyable holiday in Barbados.

I stayed at Maple Villa for 7 days in January 2022. Heather and Peter were so very welcoming and made me feel like family. This villa is just steps from the boardwalk which runs along the ocean right to Rockly beach and 15 min drive from Bridgetown. They are minutes away from many restaurants, coffee shops and some great places along the boardwalk to catch the sunset. The villa was clean, modern kitchen amenities, comfortable beds and fantastic water pressure! I have already booked for next year, and hopefully many years to come.

Maple Villa is in Hastings, bang on the Boardwalk, which lets you safely explore the South Coast on foot or via the fantastic Bus and Toot Toot bus network. Within a mile and a half of Bridgetown or the vibrant St Lawrence Gap and all the fantastic beaches, bars and restaurants in between. Chill out on the garden terrace and watch the humming birds and local troops of monkeys, listen to the whistling frog chorus at night, or take the 1 minute walk to jump in the sea to cool off. A great home, with excellent kitchen and lounge areas. Heather and Peter are fantastic hosts, who are happy to offer advice on local trips or taxi services. Heather and Peter made us feel very welcome and very safe, ideal if this is your first trip to Barbados. We rented the whole villa which allowed access to three double bedrooms, with en suite, fans and aircon. But you can just rent single rooms if you don't need the whole space. We love the South Coast and Maple Villa is a great jump off point for the South or the rest of the Island, I begrudgingly share this gem of a Villa, as I don't want to share the secret, as I know once you have visited you will always return and block my booking for the future!

I rented a room for a week and ended up staying for 18 months and loved it. heather and peter treated me as a family member. Both of them are fun and caring hosts. It's a pleasure to know and live with them for a long period. They made me and may family feel home. I strongly recommend Maple Vila not only for its prime location and facilities but most of all for the hospitality of Heather and Peter.

I lived at Maple Villa for a total of 7 months after moving to Barbados in fall 2020 as part of their new remote work visa. Maple Villa is heaven on earth. It’s conveniently located. Everything I need is within walking distance from the house and I never want for a thing. It’s impeccably clean. It’s tastefully decorated. There are fruit trees and a patio outside. And the hosts are the best you can possibly ask for. When you live at Maple Villa, you experience the kind of happiness that is hard to understand unless you’ve experienced it. Happiness that’s not a transient emotion, but a state of being. A mindset. A way of looking at the world. You have good days and you have bad days like everyone else. But you’re never unhappy. Because every day you live in Maple Villa, you’re surrounded by music and food, and warmth. You have food that nourishes you, experiences that enrich your spirit, ideas and conversations that compel you to strive for greatness, and people who care about and support you. Barbados is the kind of paradise where everything shines and vibrates with the energy of life, and this is as true of Maple Villa as it is anywhere on the island. The house is brightly lit, warm, inviting, and seems to radiate with an inner glow. Even mundane objects like the chairs and spoons have a deep inner light that you can see if you look at them the right way. The owners of Maple Villa, Heather, and Peter, have treated me like family from the day I arrived in Barbados. They have looked after me, made sure I had everything I needed and helped to make the last year the happiest period of my life. Heather has been like a mother to me and looked after me as her own son. Every time I would do something stupid or almost hurt myself, Heather would be there to make sure I stayed out of trouble, that I was eating right and taking care of myself. At night she would often sing duets with Peter, a reggae musician who runs the villa with her. They’re the kind of magical and authentic musical moments you usually only see secondhand through movies or books. Months after I moved out of Maple Villa, and Heather and I are still close friends. Easily one of the highlights of my stay in Maple Villa has been my friendship with Peter, a Bajan Rastafarian and one of the co-managers of the villa. He was one of the first Rastafarians in Barbados and knows more about the island than anyone I know. He’s a living encyclopedia about Barbados and is a fountain of information about how the island has changed over the decades, about the cultural psyche of the Bajan gestalt, about the changing musical landscape of the Caribbean, and about the history and culture of the island. Our family dinners together would end with rousing discussions on everything from politics to religion to music that would last for hours. If you ever wanted to know anything about what Barbados is really like, you need only ask Peter. Living in Maple Villa is the kind of “living abroad” experience that you can’t put a price on. If you plan on spending any amount of time in Barbados, be it a week, a month, or a year, it should be here.

This was my first time staying with Heather & Peter & I couldn't have asked for a more friendly & comfortable place to stay. There home is spotless & they even had someone clean my room and linens once per week. Heather & Peter went out of their way to make sure my stay was as enjoyable as possible, offering to take me on tours etc... The location is amazing & close to all amenities. Thanks to Covid, I could not go in 2020, but I have re-booked for this year and cannot wait to stay with these incredible hosts!

I met Heather and Peter via a friend who had stayed at Maple Villa before. Heather was so kind, even picked me up from the hotel where I quarantine. She and Peter were always nice and taking good care of me as I was alone in Barbados. Peter cooks amazing!! I felt like home with them the three months I rented the room. Totally recomend this place because of the location, the price and the lovely people that Heather and Peter are! :)

HOST OF THIS APARTMENTS PARTNER ASSAULTED ME, WAS ARRESTED AND WE ARE AWATING TRIAL!!!!! NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN OR GAY PEOPLE!!!! These people do not deserve one star. I came to maple villa to reset my inner peace after my father Passed away. I was hoping to to detach from a traumatic time in the uk and relax as well as working remotely. I spent lockdown with heather and her “partner” after believing they were good people through the reviews and such. All was well and we lived harmoniously together preparing meals and relaxing. Peter is Heather’s bajan partner. He’s a musician and artist. I myslef am an artist. So I tried to engage with him as we were living together. Sometimes he’d just be cold and rude and sometimes extremely passionate. I’m a patient person so I didn’t let it bother me that’s just the way he is. The first sign I had that he was a bad person was when I came home from a walk and his son was in the house. Heather seemed nervous and there was shouting and screaming. The second time was his opinions on gay people which really upset me. Having a gay uncle and lots of gay friend I tried to explain that I didn’t. Understand his opinion. But I still accepted who he was and we were friends. One night Peter assaulted me. When heather went to bed. He tried to kiss me and I backed off and he got angry. I was so upset. I tried to ask why on earth he would do that and he just shouted in my face. I left the house extremely upset. It was illegal to be out at this hour due to lock down so when I saw a cop care I got scared and made my friend meet me. I told him what happened. He came back with me to get my things and I decided , out of respect for heather to tell her what happened. As I entered her room Peter flew out of the bed at me. I decided to stand up for myself and shout at him back but heather got between us. Peter punched me in the face and threw me into a console table. Heather had to lock him away in the bedroom because he was so agressive. My friend heard it all and came out to me laying on the floor crying. We left and I then had to go to the police. I was examined by medical experts and the list of injuries was worse then I thought, I was in shock. A black eye, bruised jaw, body bruises. My cheek was so swollen my teeth were cutting in. I couldn’t eat. Bruised ribs and legs. Peter WAS ARRESTED BASED ON MY INJUSIES The police got us infront of a magistrate a few days later and he was released on bail. The court hearing is in November. Heather has said I punched myself and denied witnessing it. Do not stay here , you are not safe. I don’t ever want go back to barbados. But I have to. It’s going to cost me thousands in legal costs and go on for a while, but I Am going to make sure that this evil agressive man goes to prison for what he did so to make sure no one ever suffers at his hand again. He knew I was vulnerable.

Heather and Peter are amazing hosts! Their space is clean, comfortable and spacious - we felt right at home. Being away for the Christmas break could have been difficult (missing out on tradition/family etc), but we were invited to join in their family festivities, and felt so welcomed. Location was great, as many points of interest were walkable, or a short cab ride away. Heather and Peter were a fabulous resource in helping us navigate our long list of “must do” activities over our short 4-day stay. I highly recommend staying with these two! Not only because the space is wonderful, but also because they are a fabulous pair! Lovely to chat with and learned so much about the history of the island, as well as their global adventures. If you’re over the hotel scene, book Maple Villa. You can thank me later! ;)

This clean, comfortable home was very close to Rockley Beach, the boardwalk, and several other attractions. Our hosts were like family. I'd recommend this space to anyone.
