This morning’s Telegraph has a great “Best of” article about the Caribbean, naming Barbados “Best for foodies” … I’ll add TripAdvisor links to the places the Telegraph recommends. I’ll also take this opportunity to promote the St Lawrence Beach Condos on the...

Guest Post By Debbie Grant Have you ever tried to sit outside in the dead of winter, watch the sunset, drink wine and eat delicious appetizers on an outdoor deck?  If you’re Canadian, you probably have tried, and been successful after donning your long undies, snowmobile suit, balaclava, heated...

Guests at the St Lawrence Beach Condos appreciate that the stated price of their vacation rental is the whole price. A two-bedroom, two-bath is $240US per night during low season and $370US nightly during high season. Period.  There are no other costs associated with the accommodation. I just returned from...

Situated on the south coast of Barbados in the lively St Lawrence Gap on a beautiful little beach, St Lawrence Beach Condos is smack dab in the middle of many wonderful restaurants but also offers the peace and quiet of the Caribbean Sea and our private pool. Take a break from your day … it’s...

I received a query the other day about a Barbados beach vacation rental I represent here at St Lawrence Beach Condos. It was from a woman looking for a relaxing getaway for her family of five, particularly her son who will be on break from medical school. Alas, I had nothing to offer as our building has no...

On Saturday I awaited the arrival of three gentlemen from England who rented an apartment from me in our building (St Lawrence Beach Condos). Like everyone who stays in one of our pretty holiday rentals, when the three guys arrived they dropped their luggage and rushed to the picture window and swooned over...

While my husband Greg and I were traveling in beautiful Canada (more about this down below) these past few weeks, life excitingly carried on in Barbados. While we were away, the Fireball competition heated up. My friend Hazel took this photo; ahh, what could beat this: warm water, beautiful sunny days,...

Our new Barbados sun room was a project a bit quirky in the execution but sublime in its completion. First, some background: Greg and I live in the St Lawrence Beach Condominiums where all 17 condos face the stunning blue Caribbean Sea. Each has a private outdoor patio overlooking the sea. Most are rented...

You know life is good when you're able to take a morning swim in the Caribbean Sea. Guests who first arrive at St Lawrence Beach Condominiums for their Barbados holiday all do the same thing: they rush to the large picture windows overlooking the Caribbean Sea.  Their mouths drop.  And they say,...

A wonderful Barbados holiday for a reasonable cost can be had at St Lawrence Beach Condos. Most travelers to Barbados who stay at St Lawrence Beach Condominiums find out about this very nice alternative to a hotel on a for-rent-by-owner site such as HomeAway or VRBO (Vacation Rental By Owner).  If you...

I promise I’ll stop tooting my horn about the completion of my holiday rental at St Lawrence Beach Condos, #8, after this post.  Really, I will. I just wanted to share with you a photo of the inaugural guests, mother and daughter Jane & Francesca.  They arrived at 11 a.m. this morning and seem...

You saw the progress (here, too) of my putting together Apartment #8 at St Lawrence Beach Condominiums.  This week’s been the final sprint before the first guests arrive:  the air-conditioning was put in, the flat-screen TV got cable hook-up, wireless Internet is working, and all appliances...

Six months ago, a gentleman from St Louis contacted me about a holiday rental here at St Lawrence Beach Condos for his family of four.  He wrote, “I need a place Mar 14-21.” I wrote back, “No problem, I have a terrific place for you May 14-21.” He wrote back, “I’ll take...

That last post was not a toot of my horn for my decorating skills (or, um, my sex appeal).  My decorating skills are nothing to toot about. (Ditto my sex appeal, I’m afraid.) It was a post about marketing. I let a number of holiday rental properties in the St Lawrence Beach Condominiums in St Lawrence...

Call me a sex-snob, I don’t care.  I love to travel, have been many-many-many places around the world, have stayed in five-star and no-star places and will freely admit the truth:  there are some hotel rooms in which I will not get cozy with my guy. It’s not about the number of stars. ...

St Lawrence Beach Condos #11, "Deja Blue" I love the seaside apartment where I live with my sweetheart so much that we bought a second one that we rent out as a holiday rental property.  Both are in St Lawrence Beach Condos in St Lawrence Gap on the south coast. They sit at the edge of the...
