The residence, overall, was outstanding. All necessary amenities were available. The place was extremely clean, spacious, and boasted all modern amenities. Sophia, the local host, was very professional, accommodating, and always available as necessary.

About the host
Hosted by Tracy-Ann Bujham
Hi, we’re Tracy-Ann and Andre!
We’re originally from Jamaica but moved to Barbados in 2019, where we fell in love with the island and created Island Glow. Since 2023, we’ve been based back in Jamaica but still travel between the two islands regularly to enjoy and care for the property.
Hosting gives us the joy of sharing the beauty of Barbados with visitors from all over the world. We designed Island Glow to be a comfortable, family-friendly retreat with touches that make it easy to relax, whether that’s enjoying sunsets from the balcony, playing a game of pool in the private games room, or simply unwinding after a day at the beach.
What we love most about hosting is knowing that our guests leave with wonderful memories of both the island and their stay. We look forward to welcoming you and helping you experience the best of Barbados!
Why they chose this property
Why We Chose This Neighbourhood
We chose this neighbourhood because it offers the best of both worlds, a safe, peaceful residential setting with easy access to everything that makes Barbados special. It’s just 5 minutes to the beach, close to shops and supermarkets for convenience, and only a short drive to Bridgetown, nightlife at St. Lawrence Gap, and some of the island’s best restaurants.
What we enjoy most is the sense of community and calm. After a day of exploring, you can return to the neighborhood to watch the sunset from the balcony, enjoy the quiet evenings, and feel like you’re living like a local rather than just visiting.
It’s a place where you can truly unwind, while still being close to the energy, beauty, and culture of Barbados.
What makes this property unique
What Makes Island Glow Unique
What makes Island Glow stand out is the balance of space, comfort, and extras that go beyond the typical vacation rental. Guests love the private games room with bar and pool table, a rare feature that makes evenings at home just as fun as going out. The balcony with ocean and sunset views is another favourite, the perfect place to relax after a beach day.
Unlike many rentals, we’ve also included thoughtful touches: workout equipment, Smart TVs in all common areas, fast Wi-Fi, beach towels and a cooler for seaside trips, plus a backup generator and water tank so your stay is always comfortable.
It’s a family- and pet-friendly home with plenty of space indoors and outdoors, designed so you can truly feel at home while enjoying all that Barbados has to offer.
