I really love staying at Smugglers Cove 1 - It is greatly located and the pristine Paynes beach right by your feet is priceless.. Paynes beach offers such calm water with beautiful blue, white sand, the typical Caribbean postcard. I would highly recommend this place for a beach lover family. Sunsets are so romantic. Not to forget Olivette, the housekeeper and cook who spoils us every day with delicious meals and her genuine kindness.
Smugglers Cove No. 1 represented by Exceptional Villas is one of our favourite 3 bedroom beachfront rentals in Barbados. The villa is situated on the ground floor offering guests the closest access to the communal pool and the pristine white sandy beach of Paynes Bay.
The beach here is spectacular and is a great spot to enjoy snorkelling, jet skiing or a memorable swim with turtles. Paynes Bay is most definitely one of the best beaches in Barbados.
The location of Smugglers Cove No 1 in Barbados is one of the best on the island. With its prime beachfront location, you are also a short walk to some beach bars & restaurants. Guests also enjoy a short walk along the beach to the world famous Sandy Lane Hotel & beach.

Our third trip to Smugglers #1 - that speaks volumes! wonderful location, wonderful staff as Ollie take such great care of us. No hesitations recommending Smugglers Cove and Exceptional Villas
Hi Julie - On behalf of our whole crew, I want to thank you for your wonderful suggestions and help in booking what was a memorable and fabulous vacation! We all loved the condo and it's proximity to the beach and were so appreciative of David (at the beach) and Ollie's wonderful service. We loved Ollie's food and friendliness -- it made for an even more relaxing stay and we are bringing two of our favorite recipes of hers back to Massachusetts! The activities (catamaran and horse back riding along with the restaurants) were all terrific as well. It's hard in our fast paced lives today to get away and relax, and this was a special experience. Thanks again, Linda
Hi Yvonne, Just thought I'd drop you a line thanking you for everything and saying the property and oli are fantastic. She is a gem , very professional yet friendly (and she says hello , and thank you for the chocolates, she enjoyed them very much apparently!) Anyway sun is shining so the beach is calling.
Our 4th visit to Barbados & this is the best team we have had.. Ollie was great, nothing was too much trouble. Meals were great & cooked to a high standard by Ollie. As always Bajans are top class people..so much so we're booking for next year! Thank you Ollie. See you soon.
After yet another excellent stay at Smugglers, we are looking at possibly going again!
Hello Julie, We had a great time at Smugglers Cove in Barbados. Thank you for making the arrangements and suggesting the property. Alexander
Hi Yvonne
Thanks for following up. We had a great time in Barbados and Smuggler’s Cove. It is always relieving when the property viewed in person matches the photos. We were very happy with the property and enjoyed the location - all aspects of our stay were exceptionally well planned (including car hire which was very seamless as well). So thanks to you and your team for the effort and attention on the planning side.
Julie,We had a fantastic and relaxing time at Smuggler’s Cove 1. Beautiful place, great beach access and Ollie was as great as advertised. And thank you for all of your help as well; you made the planning and coordination easy. Thanks again. We’ll check in when we plan our next Caribbean vacation. Robin Teets
Linda,
Thanks for the postcard received this week. We have truly enjoyed our stay at Smugglers Cove in Barbados. Wonderful place, wonderful beach, and wonderful staff. We would love to go back next year for Easter holidays again. Let me know as we would book it in advance.
Many thanks,
Nathalie
Yvonne -We loved Smuggler's ,the place was gorgeous and the situation perfect, we loved being on Payne's Bay - it's such a nice beach - I'd forgotten how good it was! Having an onsite cook was a great luxury, it meant we didn't have to faff about with preparing food:) Most importantly the kids absolutely loved it. Thanks again for organising it all and recommending it. Lisa
Hello Niamh, Thank you so much for everything, the place was spectacular, we had an amazing time. I cannot think of any suggestion or comment right now, I think it was perfect, special thanks for Ollie she is a gem. P.s. Thank you for the postcard!

Smugglers cove #1 was just wonderful..literally 5 steps to Paynes Bay beach for lovely morning walks down to Sandy Lane, comfy sun loungers placed out for us every morning by David the very helpful beach butler & delicious breakfast prepared by Ollie! What could be better! The Villa itself is beautifully kept. All in all a great location. I'd highly recommend to families, beach-lovers, those looking for luxury by the beach!
Smugglers Cove #1 is a wonderful property. Olivette has to be the most helpful and friendliest housekeeper I have ever met. She is the gem of Smugglers cove and is praised by all our guests who visit. This property is literally steps from the beach and the communal pool is right beside the terrace on the left so is very convenient. A great property for families and groups and the property is a short stroll from the famous Sandy Lane Hotel where you can go with bookings in advance. I went for a spa treatment and cocktails during my last trip which I would highly recommend.
We just love staying at Smugglers Cove No 1 not just for the beach front location and the wonderful scenery but most of all for our wonderful housekeeper Ollie. She is just a gem and always takes such great care of us and all of the guests who stay.
Our team know each destination and every villa we feature.
