Overview
Luxurious, perfect beachside location,24hr security,housekeeper,pool,tennis,gym.
'Simply stunning' are words that do not do this luxury apartment justice . Overlooking the beach and Caribbean Sea on a half-mile stretch of sandy beach. Just 30 seconds from the fine powder white sandy beach, Ocean Blue is a modern two bedroom two bathroom apartment that can sleep up to five people. Nestled in a lush oasis of coconut palms, Ocean Blue is on the Glitter Bay Estate which is built in Mediterranean style with beautiful lush gardens and a tropical freshwater pool. The property benefits from a large terrace that overlooks the beach and Caribbean sea and is located in the first building which is closest to the sea and is virtually on the sand. This elegant comfortable apartment is well furnished and is equipped to an unusually high standard for a rental property. It comes with its own dedicated housekeeper. Quite simply it is everything you could desire in a beachside 5* hideaway and is perfect for a honeymoon, romantic getaway or family holiday that you will never forget. There are comfortable sun loungers with mattresses and parasols by the pool and on the beach. Glitter Bay offers all the amenities one would expect in a top class resort. There is a large pool, kid's pool, tennis, gym, table tennis, day time bar and restaurant. The concierge will help with restaurant or tour bookings, they also run the daily beach towel service. With a friendly staff, some of very long standing, the resort exudes an old world charm and is known by many families as the most perfect destination for children.
Guestbook comments from the owner
My wife, son and I had the opportunity to stay for a week at Ocean Blue at the beginning of January. As outlined in the many reviews, the unit is immaculate, very upscale and extremely comfortable. The layout, furniture and vie of the ocean from the balcony is unparalleled in the whole Glitter Bay complex. In addition, the attention to detail is fantastic with every possible requirement already thought of and available within the unit. For us, a highlight was relaxing on the comfortable balcony furniture while watching the sunset and just enjoying the quite family time.
Glitter Bay is a more intimate complex with an outstanding beach, assigned beach chairs, pool, gymnasium and on site restaurant/bar. This smaller scale was perfect for us, as it offered all the requisite amenities but without the crowds, and calm, quite evenings with that total sense of relaxation. We decided not to rent a car but this was not an issue as the vibrant community of Holetown (with restaurants and shopping) is only minutes away by bus or taxi.
Although, I could rave on about Ocean Blue, the trip was really a success due to the superb care and assistance provided by the owner, Penny and caretaker Chantel. They were absolutely a delight to interact with and provided excellent care during our visit to Barbados. We have been renting upscale locations for our holidays over the last 15+ years and I have to say that Ocean Blue is probably one of (if not) the best vacation rental that we have found. Ultimately, If you are contemplating a visit to Barbados then I highly recommend that you stay at Ocean Blue and experience a wonderful holiday.

Wonderful Stay
We stayed as a family of four (two boys, aged 12 and 10) at the beautiful Ocean Blue apartment at Glitter Bay. Prior to our arrival, we exchanged many emails with the owner, Penny, who patiently answered all of our questions and made sure that we were happy before we had even arrived.
On arrival, we were met by our driver, Perry, who had been organised by Penny. He was a great fun, knowledgable, reliable and helped shepherd us around for our entire stay.
As to the apartment itself, words cannot express how beautifully decorated and maintained it is. The furnishings and design are stunning, its a great size for a family of four and Penny has managed to think of everything. It is also perfectly located for both pool and beach and the view to the beach is breathtaking.
Glitter Bay itself is a well run property: the gardens and tennis courts, are perfectly maintained, the pool is clean, the beach is perfect and the staff all made us feel welcome. It is also brilliantly located for the many great restaurants around Holetown and Speightstown. On the subject of which, special mention must go to Sea Cat.
We should also mention Chauntel who visited daily to keep the apartment sparkling, which included helping us with some clothes washing.
We really can't recommend Ocean Blue highly enough and can't wait to go back. Those early evenings spent on the stunning terrace with G&Ts will live long in the memory.
Immaculate apartment perfect location wonderful relaxing holiday.
Picked up from the airport by the wonderful Perry, seamless arrival despite us being delayed. Welcomed by Chauntel at the apartment who looked after us brilliantly the whole week. Everything about the apartment was perfect. Contemporary decor and extremely clean. Great local amnenities and all staff at Glitter Bay very kind. Would definitely recommend this place. Contact from Penny was excellent and we will definitely be staying again. Thank you
Wonderful stay in amazing location
This is my second stay at ocean view, Glitter Bay for another wonderful holiday in this superb apartment. The apartment is luxury personified. The location of the apartment could not be better and the complex is beautiful. I would have no reservations about recommending the property for a fabulous relaxing and luxury break.
Wonderful apartment and locAtion
We've just spent 9 wonderful nights in ocean blue. Beautiful apartment, so much better than the numerous Barbados hotels we've stayed in. All located on the best beach on the island. Perfect location to venture out and experience the world class cuisine. Loanstar or Ju Ju for lunch. Cliff beach club. Juma, Tides. Cin Cin. Mullins .....for dinner.
Superb Apartment, brilliant Location, All Pefect
A lovely apartment everything was just perfect, elegantly furnished, kitchen extremely well equipped, very comfy beds and good bathrooms.
The location is overlooking a lovely beach and the sea swimming was great, the water was nice and warm. Attention to detail at Glitter Bay is very high, sun loungers allocated on beach on arrival and yours for the whole of your stay.
Housekeeping was to a very high standard and Chauntel was very helpful with everything, plus all our personal laundry was done when needed. Came home with all clean clothes!! Brilliant.
We had a very memorable holiday at Ocean Blue, thank you Penny.
Ocean Blue was just as advertised
As soon as we walked into Ocean Blue, it was easy to see that it was just as advertised. Everything in the apartment looked just as it was pictured online, down to every detail. The terrace was our favorite part of the apartment. It's spacious and comfortable no matter what time of day.
Chauntel, the housekeeper, was exceptional. She is trustworthy, reliable and helpful. Penny arranged for Perry to pick us up at the airport. Our flight wasn't scheduled to get into Barbados until late at night, but Perry was there waiting for us and got us quickly to the apartment.
Penny was very helpful in answering our questions before and during the booking process. She made everything easy.
Glitter Bay's beach is very nice and perfect for snorkeling. The water is clear blue and the beach is clean and comfortable.
I highly recommend Ocean Blue and hope to be back sooner rather than later. Thank you, Penny!
Location
Barbados, perched in the sea to the east of the Windward Islands is wonderful holiday destination with natural attractions all of its own: acres of rolling green sugar cane fields, a breathtaking coastline of soft sandy beaches lapped by calm turquoise waters of the Caribbean on the west and expanses of wild surf crashing onto the wide sandy beaches of the Atlantic east coast; exotic trees and shrubs such as banyan, mahogany, flamboyant and poinsettia. As you drive across the island you glimpse fine, colonial-style plantation houses and come across villages of houses brightly painted in classic Caribbean colours, surrounded by garden of frangipani and hibiscus. Barbados is a paradise island,. You can enjoy every type of water sport, water skiing, sailing, diving and paragliding. The snorkeling all along the beach is excellent and you may even see a turtle! Windsurfing is available on the south coast side of the island. Game fishing and boats for hire can all be arranged.
