Fixer-Upper Feature: Coastal Townhouse Revival – Battaleys

Tucked along Barbados’ beautiful west coast, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhouse once showed great promise but had grown tired with age — faded paint, outdated furnishings, termite damage, and stubborn drainage problems that left the garden soggy after every rainfall.

When Dulcedo stepped in, the goal was clear: restore comfort, elevate design, and make the space rental-ready while preserving its warm island charm.

Transformation

Through a detailed maintenance and styling plan, the property was brought back to life:

  • Full pest and termite treatment to protect the structure.

  • Fresh paint throughout for brighter, breezier interiors.

  • Kitchen cupboard refresh with new color stain and hardware.

  • Updated blinds, furnishings, and bedding for a light, modern look.

  • Plumbing and AC servicing to ensure functionality and guest comfort.

  • Roof leak and window repairs to eliminate damp spots.

  • Drainage and garden redesign with improved soil grading and tropical replanting.

  • Custom elevated deck installation — a first of its kind among Dulcedo projects — turning the backyard into a private retreat.

  • TV mounting, décor, and final staging to create a true “home-away-from-home” vibe.

Result

What was once a dark, dated townhouse is now a bright, functional, and profitable retreat — proof that strategic upgrades and good management transform properties into lasting investments.

Bright living room with light blue couch, patterned armchair, two ceiling fans, and a view of an outdoor patio, with a circular inset showing a white modern kitchen with island, stainless steel appliances, and large window.
