Watercolours was wonderful to stay in. You can lie in your bed and enjoy almost 270-degree views of the calm Caribbean sea... perfect to wake up to. We even saw some turtles swimming past our pier. The windows actually open, concertina-style so you feel like you're a calm sailing ship, with the gentle surf sounds wafting up. Jane and Greg decided to enclose their patio, making it into a lovely sun-room, but we also opened those concertina windows on some cool mornings, and enjoyed our coffee there. And of course there's the pool and the small private beach for serious tanning and swimming. It was fun to literally step out of the building and onto Barbados' world-famous St. Lawrence Gap, bustling with fine restaurants and night-life. And when it was time for bed, all the windows are double-glazed for noise reduction, so we slept like babies. Because this apartment is owner-occupied for most of the year, availability is limited, but we're already planning our return to our little piece of heaven!

St Lawrence Gap / Oistins , Christ Church , Barbados
BARBADOS, THE SOUTH COAST, & THE ST. LAWRENCE GAPThe south coast of Barbados is known for its beautiful white beaches, the famous Oistins Fish Fry on Friday nights, and its friendly vibe where you'll find locals (called Bajans) and tourists alike.
The St. Lawrence Gap ("gap" means "street") is the area on the south coast that is a favorite destination for both locals and tourists. Lots of quaint small businesses, delicious restaurants, colorful shops, and more—all within walking distance of your condo. A car is not necessary; a taxi to and from the airport is likely all you’ll need.
Known as "The Jewel of the Caribbean," Barbados has more repeat visitors than any of the Caribbean islands and, according to the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO), 34% of all arrivals to Barbados are repeat visitors. It's easy to see why: The climate averages ideal temperatures in the winter of 75-82 degrees Fahrenheit and in summer a warmer but still lovely 88-92. Gentle trade-winds from the sea keep us cool and we rarely turn on the air-conditioning, although it's available throughout our unit. People are friendly, the sea is crystal clear, and the rum fantastic.
A perfect holiday getaway. If you have any questions, I invite you to contact me about this or any of the vacation rental properties I offer. We are experts on all things Barbados, so feel free to ask about the must-see places and activities to explore during your trip. I know your holiday time is limited—I will do everything I can to help you make the most of your stay in beautiful Barbados.
Contact me today to learn more…or to book your dates in welcoming and beautiful Barbados.
Thanks for looking,
Jane Shattuck

Marvellous views and ambience
Absolute elegance!
We stayed in Watercolours in Aug '14 and had the time of our lives. This one-bedroom apartment is just beautiful and the views of the sea outside are vast and glorious. On the third floor, you really GET a view - it's actually the best view of the Caribbean Sea I've ever seen. It helps that you can open the windows the entire expanse of the walls!!!! The patio is enclosed, so you can have it as part of the interior of the apartment or open it up to the sea. I really liked this feature. We opened up the enormous window at the patio and just let the fresh sea breeze come inside. The restaurants in the Gap are really good (not cheap tho). Our first day we got in late so just went across the street to eat at Crave, literally ten steps from the front door of the condo building. We didn't do any research for our first night's meal and were surprised to get a great meal and really friendly service. There was a jazz singer who was amazing. (We learned she comes every Sunday night.) Other nights we went to Apsara next door to the condo building (WOW sea views and very romantic), Harlequin (faces the Gap for good people-watching), and Southern Palms when we spent the day at Dover Beach about a 5-min walk from the condo. There are others, lots of others. We have already booked our return vacation with Jane .. we are so excited to return to this beautiful apartment and to the very special island of Barbados.
What a View!!! WOW
We stayed at the Watercolours condominium from February 21st 2015 for 9 nights and it vastly exceeded our expectations. The view was amazing and the condo was just perfect, in fact much better than the photos. Everything needed for a perfect stay was provided, and Jane and Monica were extremely accommodating throughout our stay. It is a wonderful place and we highly recommend it. The worse thing was leaving . Irene & Viggo
Slice of Heaven
The views, the views, and the views were spectacular. The minute you slide the walls open you are enraptured with the breath-taking views of the coastline and the sound of the surf. It is like being adrift on the ocean. The location in the St. Lawrence Gap was convenient to restaurants and music venues, yet the minute you entered the condo the noise from the nightlife disappears and all you can hear is the roll of the surf. The condo was well appointed and had all the comforts one would need for an enjoyable vacation. Every morning we would open the curtains and be beguiled by the views of the ocean and sky. Had great fun on a catamaran tour with 'Cool Runnings'. Picked us up at condo and returned us to condo at end of day. Recommend Brown Sugar, Coffee Barbados Cafe, and Cafe Sol. Make sure you go to Oisten's Friday night Fish Fry. Thank you for such a relaxful vacation.
