Life's a Beach is located in the beautiful Coral Cove condo directly on the beach with great views of the sea and beach-life. There are three large well-appointed luxury bedrooms, three high quality bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen/lounge area which has slide away doors onto a balcony which stretches the whole property. The property has been interior designed to a high standard - we endeavour to keep adding new items - latest for Jan 2022 Timothy Oulton coffee table and media unit. There is original Barbadian artwork throughout. Built-in air conditioning is in all rooms.

The staff at Coral Cove maintain the beach area in front of the building - there are ample sunbeds and umbrellas which always seem to be the first out there on a raked beach even when we get up early. There is a cordoned off safe swimming area which is sandy throughout. Slightly further out is an area to swim with turtles and there are often two or three boats anchored there (see photo) with people snorkelling. The turtles nest on the beach. Bring your snorkels, if you don't want to swim out as far as the turtles then there are reefs either side. Pop back to the apartment to get some fizz for sunset on the beach or alternatively, there is a beach bar which does wicked rum punch.

Coral Cove itself was completed in 2007. It has 14 apartments. Life's a Beach has a dedicated parking space which is easily accessed via drive thru electronic gates. It has permanently manned security who cover both the condo and beach chairs. Access to the condo areas is by security code.

The balcony consists of a lovely lounging sofa area, a Lloyd Flanders dining table with chairs and a 7 person hot-tub (maintained each week). Typically, you won't want it to be too hot in this climate unless you are a very strange person. Good to keep it about the same temperature as the sea and good for sitting in and sipping champagne. The balcony is a perfect height - high enough for a great view and just below the leaves of the mahogany tree - uninterrupted views of the beach and Caribbean sea.

Life's a Beach has three good sized bedrooms all designed to high spec. The master bedroom opens with sliding doors direct onto the balcony. It has ensuite granite bathroom with two basins, large bath and walk-in shower. It has a walk-in dressing/wardrobe area. There is a flat-screen cable TV. The second and third bedrooms are at the rear of the condo with shutters out onto the landing area. The second bedroom has a queen bed and en-suite granite bathroom with two basins and walk-in shower. The third bedroom has twin beds which can be converted into a king and has the bathroom with walk-in shower adjacent. New fluffy pillows and bed coverings and new towels have just been delivered.

The kitchen area has high specification fittings - my favourites are a wine chiller, a De Longhi Espresso/Cappucino maker (we like coffee!) and a large Samsung American style fridge with icemaker. There is a separate room for the washer/dryer. It's great to be able to cook up a meal while chatting to people in the lounge area and the balcony. You don't really need a barbeque here - the kitchen feels as though it is part of an outside area.

The lounge area has two new good sized sofas and armchair; Samsung 55 inch smart-TV and Bose sound bar with good cable package, Netflix, Amazon Prime etc; Apple TV; Google Max smart speaker for use with Spotify or Bluetooth from your own device; and a DVD player with a few selected DVDs.

Our wifi works really well - much better than a shared hotel connection - for facetiming/skyping family back home.

Interaction with guest

We will not be at the apartment during your stay. You have it all to yourselves. The property is managed by Young Estates. Deborah, our property manager, will fix any problems you may have 24x7. Our concierge, Tricia can be tickets, groceries, transfers etc. There is a 24 hour security to watch over access to the building and beach loungers. Our friendly housekeeper, Cinterina comes 3 days per week (9am - 3pm). She can do simple delicious light lunches such as fried fish and salad. She charges $25USD per lunchtime to be paid directly to her plus the cost of the ingredients which are normally bought by the guest ahead of time. Please note that if she does prepare lunch, she might not have enough time to do personal laundry.
