"This was our 3rd.visit to Barbados.Our first time to be at Seacruise.So so relaxing!Our constant joke was we were staying in a 'Magic House'- Vilita in charge of the 'Magic hamper' and Pat constantly 'Working MAGIC' in her kitchen.There are not many vacations where you arrive with a suitcase full of clean clothes and leave with one too".Peggy

"To describe our stay at Sea Cruise would drain the ocean dry! My family and I had an experience at Sea Cruise Villa that we shall always remember. Sea Cruise Villa is simply a hidden gem in which I would reccomend to anyone who is looking to enjoy family time, or have a real Bajan experience. Thank you!- to the staff who graciously helped to make our experience in Barbados and Sea Cruise Villa, memories of a lifetime!!! Overall service was excellent!! the food was delicious!! The staff went above and beyond to satiate our every desire(and i do mean every) hence we always had a hard time leaving the Villa. The amenities are great and easy to manipulate. The villa is located in a serene area but not too far from one of the Islands shopping areas (Speightstown ). I especially liked the location because of its close proximity to the beach. Some of the highlights of our holiday in the Island of Barbados and at Sea Cruise Villa included swimming with the Turtles(my favourite), snorkling, catamaran cruise,Ziplining on the aerial trek (you guys have to try this) and of course shopping. The villa is a bit off from the central shopping area but as the Bajans say and as we have discovered, no place on the beautiful Island of Barbados is too far. [ Transportation is no problem. For a small fee you can use the villa car which holds five persons] Barbados we love you!!! Sea Cruise Villa, we will definitely be back!!!" The Hopkins family

It is with a great measure of satisfaction that I can truly boast of having a holiday fit for a queen at the SeaCruise Villa located in the north of Barbados. The location overlooks the ocean and is nestled in a village with warm, friendly and accommodating people. The food, divine, prepared by a chef who makes every meal a special event. Housekeeping staff, courteous and efficient, and to some extent overindulgent. Water sports, Island tours, Shopping – all easily accessible. Planning your next holiday, stay with the team at The SeaCruise Villa.

Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

' Thank you all so much for a fantastic week. The villa is amazing and just what we hoped for in the Barbados vacation. Quiet, great views, away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas, but a great place in relation to Speightstown and a close enough drive to activities. We enjoyed so much on the island - the monkeys, snorkeling, the beaches, turtles, wild life reserve and the wonderful weather. Our stay at Seacruise villa was made so wonderful, clean, and welcoming by the incredible staff. Our clothes were laundered each day, the villa was immaculate and the pool well kept. Pat our chef extra ordinaire cooked us immaculate meals and made us feel very welcome.The best part was not having to clean up dishes. We finally started to unwind and then we had to go. We had a great time. Thank you Seacruise.' Lynn

"Dorothy, Hugh, Pat, Olive and Vilita - We came to the Seacruise villa to celebrate Esther's 50th. Birthday but found so much more to be thankful for! This was truly a spectacular week with so many moments of wonder and amazement that it is hard to know where to begin. If we were forced to pick a few - EVERY meal that Pat made was AMAZING! When we arrived at the airport,we certainly had no idea what a treasure Tyron would prove to be. His incredible knowledge of the island, patience and Bajan hospitality resulted in our having experienced Barbados in ways that most "tourists"probably do not! One evening we were completely humbled and rendered speechless as we witnessed God's excellent power as He presented "fire in the sky" and did we mention that the FOOD that Pat made was absolutely DELICIOUS?We were thrilled to meet neighbours each day - they gave us our very own nickname - the Walkers -greeting us first thing in the morning with a smile. It was a joy and real treat to enjoy the pool and hot tub,find clean clothes EVERYDAY and then find that our rooms were well prepared for our evenings' rest! Vilita and Olive met us with warm smiles, kind words and efficient service every day. Oh - and did we mention that Pat's cooking was OUTSTANDING? The Seacruise villa is blessed to have such a skilled,caring and engaging staff! Our time here EXCEEDED our expectations because of the great team that you have assembled. We thank God most of all for our having had this lovely spirit-living experience". Esther, Judy and friends

We were in Barbados for our third visit [only 4 days before joining a cruise] and the second at Seacruise Villa where I spent part of my honeymoon on a previous visit. We were met by the owners who were as usual very pleasant and gracious. The sunsets are something else! We were free to do as we liked as the staff was ever so attentive and kept the villa in A class condition. A Plasma screen was installed the day we arrived and there was a pool attendant who ensured that the pools were always well kept The meals were served on time as requested. We noticed that a previous guest complained about a dog in the house below the villa . We saw the dog being bathed by its owners but never heard it barking. We got around easily as we had previous knowledge of the area. Like on our first visit we had the use of the villa car which was great as there were four in our party. We did a fair amount of snorkelling in crystal clear waters off Fryers Well beach. The furnishing were mainly well appointed Rattan and my husband loved the architecture and high bedroom ceilings We asked the owners if they saw a review by a 'California gal' and they shrugged their shoulder saying that was the 'WORSE EXPERIENCE in fifteen years' and they were sure that the couple was only seeking a free vacation or 'something'. We have a holiday home in Florida and do not wish to meet such guests ever [ I hope ] . It is mainly for this reason that we can vouch that the villa is very well kept with daily maid and laundry service. The furnishing is appropriate and not cheap The area around the pool is clearly shown on the pictures in the VRBO page and no different from that shown by 'Califonia Gal' We were comfortable in the area which is very safe. We have returned and when we have a few more dollars will return again. We liked Fish Pot which is less than ten minutes drive from the villa. The so called trash must have been cleared as the area was very clean on the way to the beach which is not wide but more than adequate. I did not say it to the owners but my gut feelings is that the couple may not have felt comfortable with local Bajans as staff-strange but true JC

We spent 13 days in Barbados at this villa. As described the view of the ocean and the sky was lovely. Patricia prepared our meals each day and did an excellent job. The listing description was not accurate in that the area surrounding the villa was noisy and dirty. A dog barking awakened us each morning and lulled us to sleep each night. . The villa was not clean or well maintained, furnishing were shabby and the owners were not helpful when advised of our concerns. The property is not near any amenities such as tennis, restaurants etc. The photo of the beach near to the home does not reflect that it is not usable. There are bars on the windows. Disappointing.

Good day. We have stayed at both Seacruise and Seabliss on three occasions Our last visit was in November 2010. We have booked to return in July 2011. We had a grand time on each occasion The Staff was very courteous and made us feel at home. Pat was great with the food. Our laundry was done gratis and well done The villa was kept in a very immaculate condition and was tided twice per day. The view is fantastic. In Summer the beach was great but in late Dec thru June the locals told us it was smaller but still very nice to swim and snorkel. You do need a car as it is seven minutes from Speightstown [with supermarket and a few shops]. The area is typical Bajan village with very friendly people. We have been to Barbados over ten times and over 80% of the villae are located in small village like areas . We have stayed on one occasion at Royal Westmoreland which is gated We enjoyed it but not as much as that of SEACRUISE. Of course if one does not want to be in an area of the native people then Sandy Lane or Royal Westmoreland is perfect. Cant wait to get from this chiller for nine days SJC

If you want a true Bajan experience, this is the place. Situated at the northern part of the island, this villa sits in a neighborhood that allows you to get the flavor of everyday life on Barbados. While sitting on the deck or at the pool, you hear roosters and watch the wild monkeys in the trees. However, the best offering from this villa is Chef Pat. We had 10 in our gruop and is was a delight having her prepare 3 meals a day. Her dishes were equisite. Do not plan on dining out much and pack light. The housekeepers wash every day. We only wore about one third of what we packed. Overall it was a phenominal holiday at Villa Seacruise.

"It has really been a fantastic vacation!! The Seacruise villa is perfectly suited for large family reunions;it suits both private space and get together time- Pat, Ann, Olive and Vilita have made us feel at home while serving us to perfection. Barbados is an island that you need to discover progressively - one visit is not enough!! We will be back again." Ron

"We have all enjoyed our first visit to Barbados. The villa is ideally located to give a feel for the real Barbados rather than the tourist areas. Everyone we met has been really helpful and welcoming. The villa itself is well run by 3 lovely ladies - Vilita and Olive taking care of our cleaning and laundry and Patricia, who has cooked us the most amazing Bajan food - our Christmas day dinner with Pat's rum cake and sorrell punch will be remembered for a long time" Garry and Diane

We stayed at the Seacruise Villa from April 29-May 6, 2007. This was my second visit to Barbados and by far the best! Margaret and Denise were fantastic to us and their kindness definitely made our trip that much more enjoyable. The villa is gorgeous, very clean and the views are breathtaking! We can't wait to come back next year! Thanks to Dorothy and Hugh for their hospitality!

We, the Frei familly stayed at your beautiful villa from March 3,to March 10, 2007. We had the best vacation of our lives. Margaret is a great chef and Denise really took care of the villa. They are amazing! It was an incredible experience to stay in the country and be amongst the people from Barbados. They are so friendly and caring. After this experience I don't think that I would ever stay in another hotel. The view from all of the balconies was breath taking and the scenery around the villa was beautiful. Seeing all kinds of birds, monkeys and black bellied sheep running around free was fantastic. We will never forget this and I am sure that we will be back. Thank you again Dorothy & Hugh.
