Business description
Short and long term rentals are both appropriate for this 7 bedroom, multi unit property.
This property is located in Dover Gardens. This is on the 'residential end' of St. Lawrence Gap (the busiest tourism hub in Barbados), and is a 2 minute walk from the beach and amenities while maintaining a residential atmosphere.
Currently there are 4 units. 3 are rented long-term and my family lives in the 4th one. We have been successfully renting these units for 15 years.
The previous owner also used the property in a similar way; living on-site but renting units SHORT-TERM.
There are easy conversion plans for creating 6 smaller units if desired.
The property has been modernized over the last 3 years. The finishes in all of the rental areas are similar.
We have had tremendous success with this property and are only selling now because our family has 2 young children necessitating more family room.
This furnished, turn-key and fully tenanted property is on sale at US$800k.
