Beautiful property!

Overall this is a great house/property to stay at and it exceeded our expectations. being our first time on the island, we had zero clue what we were doing but the owner and property manager were great to work with. This house is beautiful, comfortable and held a couple of surprises (the monkeys being one of them). The distance to the beautiful beach area is walkable, but we were lazy and drove the 1/4 mile and there was plenty of parking. There are a lot of steps to get down to the beach and I'd pass on the coconut drinks. If you prefer a more secluded, quieter vacation this is the way to go. you do need to be a bit adventurous to make the drive and yes you need a car. The only drawback is that if you plan to self cater/cook for yourself, you need to purchase everything so plan accordingly. And bring your firestick/roku. We hope to come back in the future.

nice villa to relax, next to a great beach

Property is in a nice and qiet neighborhood, just a 5 min walk to bottom bay beach. We had all what we needed. Pool was really nice and relaxing. Only negative thing is the backyard. Internet Pictures doesn`t show the reality, didn`t look as green as on pictures. Very sad.

Tout simplement parfait

Nous avons visités la barbade du 5 au 13 mars 2018 avec nos 2 enfants de 9 et 11 ans. Nous avons séjourné à la petite falaise et tout a été parfait, la maison est très bien située avec vue sur la mer et la bottom bay beach à 5 minutes à pieds. Tout est bien tant à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur. Propreté, commodité, tout y était. Margaret nous a acceuillit et remit les clefs. La côte est magnifique avec ses énormes vagues et ses paysages à couper le souffle. La réservation a très bien été et tout a été parfait. Je recommande cette villa à tout le monde. Nous ne voulions plus partir!!!!!! Nous allons y retourner c'est certain. Merci Wendy et Margaret

The villa is very clean and comfortable!

Bottom Bay beach is in walking distance of the villa -- very beautiful with wonderful coconut palms swaying in the Atlantic breezes. The area is quiet and offers a peaceful alternative to the more touristy areas. I will definitely return for another visit!

Really good - highly recommended

We rented the villa for 10 days in Aug 2015, and it was perfect. The weather was very hot and we found the plunge pool ideal - we were constantly going for dips to cool off, and play "Marco Polo", of course. The 3 bedrooms are air conditioned, but the main room is not. We opened the front and back doors, and got a nice breeze doing to keep cool. The kitchen is great for self-catering; you can get groceries from Emerald City at Six Roads on your way to Bottom Bay. A taxi from the airport will take you there and wait for you, although it might double the price from the regular $40 Barbadian. Or take the bus. The villa is quite and relaxing. The back patio is shaded and perfect, and the plunge pool is fantastic. Bottom Bay is a 5 minute walk down the road. Its a really nice beach. Or follow the rough road to the east towards the "ruins" to find Harrismith beach. Or head from the Harrismith ruins towards a yellow roofed house to find a great little beach with a small reef creating a lagoon - even nicer. We used the buses quite a bit. The bus stop is at the top of the hill, about a 10 minute walk from the villa. Buses go to Bridgetown via Six Roads/Emerald City (route #10, "Bridgetown") or to the south coast (route #12, "Sam Lords Castle"). The latter is a bit slower, but will take you to Shark Hole, Crane, the airport, and Oistins as well as the south coast beaches towards Bridgetown. We went to all of these and it was great. Oistins has the "Fish Fry" where you can get great food. Buses are $2 local/$1 USD. Blue buses need exact change. The others will give your change. Try them - you get to see a different side of Barbados. We also rented a car for a couple of days from Stoutes Car Rental. We got a Suzuki soft-top (which we removed) jeep for $200US for 2 days. They will drop off and pick up from the villa - makes it very easy. Anyway, back to the villa. The south-east coast is much less touristy than the West, and if you want a more authentic, restful time, this villa is ideal. Wendy is very helpful and quick in getting back to you. Jan and John look after the place locally, and a very friendly and helpful. As someone else here says: stop searching and book the place! ps. The regular guy selling coconut drinks at the top of the steps to Bottom Bay is "Keo", and he's a good guy. Don't be intimidated and buy that coconut!

Currently live in Alberta, Canada and spend two months each year at my villa in Barbados.

Why they chose this property

Spent a holiday in the East Coast and fell in love with the rugged nature of this part of the island. It is not over-developed like the West and South Coasts. Decided to purchase this villa in Bottom Bay.

What makes this property unique

The traveller will like the quiet surroundings. The views from the back patio of the blue-green Atlantic as the waves roll in to shore and crash against the rocks.
