Dejlig villa-frodige haver. Let 2 min. Gang til strand, pool, barer, spisning, butikker

Mangoes har for nylig været renoveret og er nu et hus med tre soveværelser, tre badeværelser med to af badeværelserne en-suite til de to største soveværelser.
Denne dejlige fritliggende villa i frodige tropiske haver er tilgængelig for fester op til 7 i antal. Par er især velkomne - vi synes det er strålende at have denne plads til os to!
Det siger sig selv, at hele huset og grunden altid kun er til din fest.
Mangoer kunne ikke placeres bedre; det er lige på tværs af vejen fra en sandstrand og poolen.

Sunset Crest, hvor Mangoes er beliggende, er et dejligt boligområde lige ved 'Platina-kysten' i Barbados og nær de to historiske gader i Holetown. De fleste af husene er ret store, fritliggende ejendomme (ejes af respektable arbejdstagere) med smukke, tropiske haver, som alle bidrager til den behagelige atmosfære i området.
Stranden og poolen ligger lige på tværs af vejen. Puljen er privatejet af Sunset Crest ejendomsejere og betjenes af Beach House, der tilbyder restaurant, bar og faciliteter. Adgang til poolen er gratis for lokale beboere og lejere, og da mange lokale arbejder mennesker med liv til at tage sig af og ikke meget tid til at svømme, efterlader det temmelig underudnyttet.

Tilbage til Mangoes …… et nyt eget badeværelse til soveværelset med dobbeltseng / dronning gør Mangoes til et soveværelse med tre soveværelser, tre badeværelser med to en-suite badeværelser og det andet til privat brug af det andet soveværelse.
Huset er stort med tre spisesteder; formelt i vores 'al fresco' spisestue, stille i lysthuset gemt væk i baghaven (som jeg kalder den hemmelige have) eller på den store veranda; sandsynligvis det mest populære og mest anvendte område af huset.

Der er syv sengepladser i tre generøse soveværelser; skibsføreren er en tvilling / super-konge (med safen i garderoben) - nu en suite, den anden er tvilling / dronning også nu en suite, og den tredje har tre enkeltsenge, eller en stor dobbelt og en enkelt, hvis det foretrækkes med eget badeværelse et par trin langs korridoren.
Alle soveværelser har rigelig garderobeplads, toiletbord og sæde, hårtørrer, spejl i fuld længde, natbord og lamper. Alle er udstyret med loftsventilatorer og aircondition uden ekstra omkostninger.
Der er også en sammenklappelig barneseng.

De tre, friske, moderne badeværelser har alle generøst store brusere, håndvask og loo.

Køkkenet er for nylig blevet ombygget med masser af friske, nye skabe med hvide døre og arbejdsflader af granit. Det er veludstyret med tropisk køleskab / fryser, komfur / komfur, kedel, kaffemaskine, brødrister, pander, service, bestik osv.
Fra køkkenet har vi et for nylig fornyet vaskerum med vaskefaciliteter til dit brug.

Stuen er lys og luftig med vinduer / franske døre på tre sider. Hold brisen flydende, selvom mens du er ude ved at låse de smarte smedejernsporte, der leveres til at beskytte huset og din ejendom.
Dette værelse er indrettet med en suite med tre / to / en sukkerrør i tropisk stil, sofabord, fladskærms flerkanals-tv, video- og DVD-afspiller og veludstyrede boghylder.
To lyse 'Hunter'-lys (med ventilator) hænger fra loftet og et lejlighedsvis bord i hjørnet bærer en lampe, telefonen og vores gæstebog!
Der er tre sæt 'franske' glasdøre fra stuen; to til verandaen og en til den formelle spisestue.

Spisestuen er møbleret med et stort bord med hvidt træ og seks polstrede stole. Dens dejlige buede vinduer kigger ud på haven på tre sider.

Verandaen har udsigt over hovedhaven og er godt møbleret med et moderne udvalg af møbler i attraktive jordfarver. Dette omfatter en to-personers sofa, to lænestole, spisebord med seks polstrede spisestole og den berømte Mamasan relaxer - meget elsket af alle! I alt udgør dette komfortable siddepladser til 11 personer! Der er også et sofabord, ventilatorer og god belysning inklusive en ekstra standardlampe.
Dette er et vidunderligt sted at sidde om aftenen med udsigt over haven med dens dejlige bue (og fe lys), slappe af og lytte til den glade lyd fra træfrøerne, der kvitrer væk!

Indretningen er ajour, og belysning omkring ejendommen er blevet betragtet omhyggeligt for at fremme en blød, afslappende atmosfære, når det ønskes, mens det også tilbyder nok lys til at nyde at læse.

En tidligere gæst skrev til os efter sin ferie og sagde, at han på sin første aften, da han sad på verandaen med udsigt over haven, troede, at han var død og gået til himlen! Han havde kigget ud på vores blomsterbue, oplyst med smukke fe-lys om natten.
Tropisk vegetation er eksotisk, og vi har en række interessante, nyttige og smukke planter rundt omkring i huset. Vi har bougainvillea, hibiscus, frangipani, citrongræs, aloe vera, alamander, ørkenrose, paradisets fugl og mere. Selve buen er prydet med en lækker klatrer med smukke, fjedrende blade og delikate lyserøde klokker.

INKLUDEREDE TJENESTER
Der er loftsventilatorer i stuen, køkkenet og soveværelserne, som også har aircondition. (Ingen ekstra gebyr for dette.)
Der er stuepige to gange om ugen. Dette involverer skift af sengelinned, rengøring af badeværelser og mopping af gulve osv.
Telefonen ringer gratis rundt på øen. Det ringer ikke til numre i udlandet, men opkald fra udlandet kan modtages.
Gratis wifi.
Pengeskabet - stort nok til alles ejendom.

Der er ingen ekstra gebyrer og gebyrer for ophold på Mangoes. Bed om afklaring, hvis du er usikker.

NB. I juli 2018 begyndte Barbados Revenue Authority at opkræve en "værelsesprisen" for alle besøgende på øen. Det er mit job at opkræve dette gebyr og levere det til den rigtige afdeling. Gebyret er 2. 5% (en fyrtiende) af de fulde lejeomkostninger.

Sadly Gail and her party had a lot of heavy rain during their stay. Inevitably, the drain blocks up with floating vegetation and the road becomes waterlogged. Despite this, she continued to tell me that she was having an enjoyable time. She was a good communicator and sent pleasant messages at all times.

Mangos, Perfect location to the perfect beach.

7 people enjoyed this wonderful house just a minute walk across the street to the best little beach. The reef is perfect for snorkeling and the sand is clean white and soft. We explored all the good beaches on Barbados and really, this is the best one. The house is very nice and included everything needed to cook and relax in a clean modern environment. Everything works including the wifi. The owner is very nice and will keep in touch to made sure you are comfortable and happy. We had such a good time at Mangos the house and truly recommend to anyone coming to Barbados.

Good location and potential

Been in Barbados few times. Extended bungalow with separate attached apartment in an excellent location with beach, pool club, restaurants, supermarket and bus stops all within 10 minutes. Nice garden and veranda at the front but sadly mosquitos agreed. From early evening to morning nothing stops the mosquitos biting. We tried everything including Deet. Fortunately we missed the Dengue outbreak in the area. Bedrooms are large and comfy beds but A/C limited to 23*C. Bathrooms are fine but those not en-suite are a bit hot. The cooling in the public areas is totally inadequate (not helped by one ceiling fan not working). As the doors had to be closed against mosquitos at night the temperature was unbearable at times. The fridge in the kitchen couldn't keep the milk from going off. The patio furniture in the sitting room was uncomfortable if sitting for a long time. Smart TV but locked for additional app downloads (has Netflix and Prime). Cleaning service once in 12 night night stay but OK. Path to back gate (quickest access to facilities) uneven but passable with care. Bars on windows caused a bit of unease for a couple of bedrooms' fire escape routes. Overall a holiday home with great potential and the problems listed are easily resolved.

Svar fra VrboOwner den 21. maj 2024
Thank you for your constructive comments. The tropics are hot and mosquitoes come with the package, I hope my notes on “How to Deal with Mosquitoes.” helped? I wonder if you hit on a particularly hot time for your stay? Properly refrigerated milk going off is definitely a first! Just to be accurate, there are three bathrooms at Mangoes, only one which is not ensuite and which is also the smallest. It has no window but an extractor fan. In most respects, Mangoes is in keeping with other Bajan properties:- It is not normal to cool public areas, the breeze will do that, and it is normal to have protective wrought iron at the windows. With particular regard to the air-con/ceiling fan, respectively, we have had/will have those concerns looked into by the appropriately skilled person. Issues all resolved then – apart from those dratted mozzies! Roll-on science to render them unable to bite – the sooner the better! Thanks for staying, Cheerio, Cath.

Comfortable villa in a perfect location

Mangoes is not a high end, cutting-edge property. It is comfortable villa that feels like home after a couple of days and we loved it! The location is superb with the pool and beach 2 minutes from the back gate and countless bars and restaurants within10 minutes walk. We stayed with family and the accommodations were perfect for a total of 6 people. Katasha kept the place pristine (many thanks) and the communication with owner Cath could not have been better. The information provided is very comprehensive. Some have had a problem with mosquitoes which are around it is true, but by being sensible with precautions we had no problems. Overall we couldn’t have chosen a better property in Holetown.

Speaking of communication, it's very much a two way thing and I also appreciated your responses, it's enjoyable to have a good rapport with guests.

Local villa with a lovely garden

Sunset Crest is a perfectly portioned villa with a cosy bajan feel. You can walk everywhere from the house and there is a great coffee and breakfast place just out the back gate. This part of the island has lots of mosquitoes compared to other parts which meant we did get bitten a lot but other than that we had a great time.
Svar fra VrboOwner den 29. mar. 2020
Ha! Not the old mosquito legend again! Studies show that our area (called Sunset Crest) is no more likely to be home to mosquitoes than any other - any locality can have an upsurge in population or a relatively mozzy free period, depending on conditions. The fact is there are lots of mozzies in the tropics. They are island wide in Barbados: at the airport, the shops, the restaurant, the beach bar, and at the beach, there are also biting sand flies. The good news is, they can be managed. Guests who use my guidance notes on “How to deal with mosquitoes” find the advice I give helpful in minimising the number of bites as well as the severity and speed of healing. I’m glad you liked the style, layout and location of my villa (Mangoes) and enjoyed your stay - despite the little tinkers! Thanks for taking the time to review us. Cheerio, Cath.

Beautiful and Serene

First let me say that Cath, the owner, was a pleasure to work with once we rented this property. Cath was detailed and attentive to all questions via email and what's app text. The property is exactly as advertised. Beautiful and peaceful grounds and comfortable and spacious house. Paula and Cheryl were thorough in accommodating us. The neighborhood is very upscale with many wonderful places to eat and shop. Beautiful beach sunsets just steps away and a well kept pool for our use. I've recommended this property personally to friends and family who may make the trip to Barbados soon. I had the best birthday ever!

Hello Renee, It was a pleasure to correspond with you but in all your messages, you never once told me it had been your birthday! So, belatedly, I wish you a very happy birthday and hope you had a wonderful day! Where did you spend it I wonder? Thanks for the enjoyable correspondence, it was great fun just writing to you. I wish we could have met. I'm very thankful for the lovely review you have given to my house, my staff and myself. It has been a wholesome experience having you stay. Aside from enjoying knowing you at this distance, I should endorse your comments on the area. Barbados is a place to fall in love with and I certainly did. I now get great pleasure out of sharing this wonderful place (and my own little corner of it) with delightful people like you. Please return some day; we’d love to be able to welcome you back again.

My husband and I, together with my two brothers and their wives, stayed at a property call Mangoes. It was awesome. It was a three bedroom, three bath villa which was very clean and spacious. The care- taker, Lucille was very friendly and kept the place very clean. She came twice a week and clean the entire villa. She changed the beds, put fresh towels in the bathrooms and fresh kitchen towel . The Villa location is awesome. Only two minutes walk from the beach and pool. The yard is very large with beautiful flowers. Every day two monkeys come to the windows to say hi to us. It was only a 5 minutes walk to the supermarket called Massey, and to the restaurants and shopping mall. The buses were also a two minutes walk and came frequently. We can't wait to go there again. Everything was just perfect. We love everything about that place. The owner was also very helpful. She kept in touch with me and answer all my questions. She was perfect in all her informations and guidance pertaining to the property and neighborhood. Thanks Cath. You're the best.

Hi there, Thanks so much for a lovely review. You endorse all I say about our fabulous location – perfectly placed for everything. I’m glad you met the monkeys and that they showed their best manners when saying “Good morning” – they can be so funny, can’t they? Your praise for Lucille and I means a great deal to us – that’s our best reward for what we put in and it makes us proud of our work. I really hope you will return in the future, it was a delight to communicate with you throughout. Cheerio, Cath.

A wonderful vacation - our 2nd time back !

This is our second time back to this property. Our stay was hassle free and relaxed. The property is clean and well kept. It is airy, spacious with a beautiful lush garden a few minutes walk from the beach in a safe area. Since we have young kids we were very happy about the grocery store and a walk-in clinic near-by. The area has good restaurants and is minutes from the famous Limegrove shopping mall. We will definitely be back!

Thanks again for a lovely review ..... this is becoming a habit. A very good habit! It's good to have all the positive things I say about Mangoes reinforced by your comments on safety, location, facilities, beaches and of course, the house and grounds themselves. Thanks again, hope to see you next year too! Cheerio, Cath.

Perfect location

We have been to Holetown in Barbados 5 times now and this has to be the absolute best location for this price range. You are right in the middle of it all yet it’s so quiet and peaceful. The villa is big, clean and fully stocked. We loved eating in the outdoor dining area which had mesh to stop the mosquito coming in, yet still felt like outdoor dining. To have use of the beach house pool is excellent especially for the price of renting the villa. We’ve had access to the beach house in the past and this was another thing that made us choose Mangoes above any other villa. We plan to venture to other parts of the world for a few years but wouldn’t hesitate to rebook at Mangoes should we return to barbados.

Hi there, Thanks so much for this excellent review. It endorses everything we say about Mangoes regarding location, ambience and atmosphere. Outside of those things, your review mentions value for money as well which is very useful information for future renters to help them make their decision to choose Mangoes. Thanks, it’s a great review, useful, informative and complimentary. I do hope you will return to Barbados – it’s one of those places; once you have been you are smitten for life! When you’re ready, we look forward to seeing you back at Mangoes. Take care and enjoy your other travels. Cheerio, Cath.

Perfect accommodations in a perfect location

Just returned from a relaxing 2 week stay at Mangoes in Sunset Crest. The accommodations were perfect and exactly as described and pictured---clean, spacious, warm and inviting, with everything you could possibly want or need. Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast and afternoon cocktails on the front porch with the geckos, finches, doves and occasional curious monkey (they don't bother you, and quickly go on their way). Mangoes is well situated in a perfect location, particularly if you don't want to be bothered with a car. A short (< 5-minute) walk out the back gate gets you to food, shopping, a bus stop, the beach club (w/ pool), and the beach! A 5-minute walk will get you to a major, modern supermarket with everything you could possible want or need. The beach adjacent to the club/pool is small but quiet and good for swimming, with a bit of shade too. You won't be bothered much, if at all, by vendors here. But bring your own chairs if you want a seat. (There are plenty of lounge chairs by the pool---provided you get there early---but these are for the pool area only.) However, we spent much of our beach time a few blocks down the road, directly across from the supermarket at the beach adjacent to Surfside Restaurant and Bar, our "second home" during our stay. Great beach, surprisingly good off beach snorkeling, and excellent drinks and food in a laid back, quintessential Caribbean atmosphere. Lounge chairs and umbrellas can be rented here at a reasonable price, and there's alway someone available if you want to partake in water sports, purchase colorful clothing, or get your hair braided ;-). We became quite friendly with some of the folks working the beach. Lovely, lovely people. They felt like family by the time we left. I could go on and on, but suffice to say that Mangoes can't be beat for the combination of accommodations and location---again, particularly if you don't want to have to drive. Highly recommended. P.S. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners---Cath and Ian---when we arrived, as they stayed prior to us. Delightful folks, and the pride and care they take in their home really shows.

Thanks so much for this lovely review! It was a great delight to meet you too! We rarely meet our guests because we live so far away; shame that our paths could only cross for a relatively short time. Barbados is a wonderful place, isn’t it? And our area in St James, Holetown/Sunset Crest and the whole of this aptly named Platinum Coast is both beautiful and well served. Thanks for all the positive comments about Mangoes - we love it so much and have personally put a lot of hard work into improving it and looking after it. At this point, I have to thank my lovely staff for helping in this too, particularly Lucille who is the person who keeps it all going in our absence. Thanks for confirming to future readers how well situated Mangoes is for all amenities. I usually say beach and pool are a 2 minute walk, restaurants abound between 2 and 10 minutes and the supermarket about 5, as you say. Hopefully you found our file, with local map, useful for locating these amenities. Our nearest beach comes and goes according to the sea which will take away the sand at times and rebuild it at others. There has been a man renting beach chairs on that beach and I’m surprised to hear that he was not there on this occasion. Fortunately, you found Surfside …. and, next door by Zaccios, (beach bar/restaurant) there are also rent-able beach chairs. Again, it was a pleasure to meet you and to have you stay. If ever you’d like to visit again, please get in touch – we’d love to have you back. Cheerio, Cath n Ian

Great Location, very clean and comfortable

Just coming to the end of our holiday. My husband and I and our children really enjoyed the stay. The house is very clean and has great access to the beach and eateries. The kitchen is well stocked and the rooms are large and airy, we never had to use the air conditioning. We don’t want to leave. The owner is always on hand if needed and answers all questions quickly with a happy pleasant manner. I would highly recommend this house it’s staff and the owners, just pleasant through and through.

Amazing get-away!!

Our family had an amazing stay at Mangoes Villa. The island has so much to offer and from Mangoes Villa you are close to all of it! Literally just a 2 minute walk to the pool and sandy beach. 5 minutes will put you at the modern and well stocked grocery store, a handful of restaurants, beach bars, medical clinic, and other stores for shopping. The villa itself is well stocked and VERY comfortable with all the modern amenities. The bedrooms are quite large and all three of them have air conditioning and ceiling fans. The yard and building are very well cared for and the gardens around the house are lush and tropical just as the listing states! We saw lizards, frogs, monkeys, and a variety of birds every day. The highlight of our vacation though was swimming with the sea turtles which we did on four separate occasions and were not disappointed as we saw turtles close up every single time, and best of all, it was just a very short, easy swim from shore. I would highly recommend Mangoes Villa to everyone, and Cath was a gracious host, patient with all of our first-time visitor questions.

Hi Kim, Thanks for a lovely review! So pleased you and your family enjoyed staying at Mangoes and, because we had fairly frequent communication whilst you were there, I was able to enjoy along with you! Many guests go to Mangoes to chill only - you went ahead and did a lot of things - many that I haven't done for years. (It's probably time to get out there and do some again!) Glad you felt that I was there for you with the answers to questions. It's my job AND my pleasure to do that! I'm sure I told you that I could talk about Mangoes and Barbados all day! Well, it's absolutely true and if some of my enthusiasm and love for my home and the island rubs off a little onto my guests, hopefully that will help give them an even fuller experience! I hope you'll be able to visit again, you were delightful to correspond with and a pleasure to host. For the moment, enjoy the rest of the Christmas/New Year festivities and thanks again for taking time out to write this review for us. Cheerio, Cath.

Lovely villa with a lush garden & well located

We were very happy with our stay at Mangoes. The property listing was accurate and the rooms comfortable, clean and well-maintained. The owner & property manager provided excellent customer service. We would definitely recommend it to our friends / relatives. We were extremely happy with the villa's location. It was private and at the same time well-located i.e. close to a medical center, grocery store, Limegrove lifestyle centre ( a stylish shop & dine ), beaches, bars and restaurants.

Hello Dee, Thanks very much for this excellent review. Thanks for the compliments on Customer Service. I do like to go the extra mile to ensure guests are primed with all the "pre-holiday" info they might need and I am always confident that Lucille will take it from guest arrival, answering any questions and showing guests around the property. Yes, location was a major deciding factor when we purchased back in 2003. At only 2 minutes walk to beach, pool, shops restaurants, bars, banks etc etc what more could anyone ask? So glad you enjoyed your stay with us - if ever you want to come back again, we'll make you every bit as welcome as we did this time ...... more in fact; we love returners! Take care, it has been very enjoyable corresponding with you. Cheerio, Cath.

Really excellent accommodation in Holetown

Mangoes is probably better than the listed description and Cathy & Ian have recently upgraded the accommodation so it now includes an additional ensuite bathroom for bedroom no. 2 and a large modern laundry room . It’s light , bright and airy and Lucille the housekeeper maintains everything to a very high standard . It’s hard to find fault really ! Cathy prides herself in providing everything you need for a wonderful holiday and is on hand ( by phone or email ) should you experience any problems . The added bonus is that the rear garden door gives access onto the Chattel Village green which is no more than 200 metres from the beach and the Beach House which is a separate facility owned by the residents of Sunset Crest and offers a large pool with sun loungers . There is also a bar and very good restaurant. Cafe Carizma in the chattel Village is excellent as is Zacchios and Surfside for all the sports . All are no more than a short walk away. Lime Grove provides high end shopping and the cinema is quite an experience ( not to be missed ). So Mangoes is easy to recommend but get in soon because we have it booked ( Jan/Feb until 2020 !! ) Howard & Sarah Jones
Svar fra VrboOwner den 29. mar. 2020
Hi there Sarah and Howard, Thanks very much for taking the time to write this lovely review for us. I endorse just about everything you say (the location was a major reason for buying) but I haven't been to the cinema and have only had a coffee or juice at Carizma. I will give both more attention now that you have recommended them. Thanks for the personal compliments about how I run things. When my guests enjoy, I enjoy too .... if I can't be there myself what better way than by this method of proxy? And Lucille ..... yes she is a treasure - all my guests love her and I know she will always do her best for them. I'm very glad you are coming back in 2019 - it's always a pleasure and I love our correspondence while you're there. It's only around 10 months to go! Take care, cheerio, Cath (and hubby Ian of course!)

Om værten

Hi there,
We are Cath and Ian Mills (Most of the writing on this site is mine - Cath's. That's us above, at a lovely restaurant a bit North of Mangoes - The Fish Pot)

We love our own holidays and know how important it is to re-charge those batteries once in a while so we do our best to ensure that all of our guests have a wonderful holiday experience.
We come out to Mangoes twice per year to make sure everything's ok or to make improvements and ..... to enjoy!

You want to know more about us?
Well, we've both worked with people for many years. Before we started running our own businesses, I used to work in child care whilst Ian was in charge of the local Careers department.
Next we had three, very hands on, businesses of our own and eventually "retired" (haha) in 2021. You hear many retired people, including us, say they have never been busier!
We were married on April Fool's day (which tips you off as to our sense of humour!) and recently celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary in this year of 2023.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

We've been travelling to Barbados for around 35 years and have forgotten how many times we've visited.
Way back in the past, I had a 'thing' about Barbados. I think it started when Cadburys chocolate people came to school with a film of 'How we make chocolate' and those little penny bars to give out, one each. I was about 7/8 and very impressionable. The film started with sugar cane cutting in Barbados .... the sky was so blue, the vegetation so lush .....
When I was around 20, there was a documentary about the island showing as the 'second film' at the cinema. There it was again, that intense blue, the emerald greenery, the vibrant colours of the flowers .... how could I resist? I was sunk!!!
When a certain airline (who I suppose must remain nameless) brought the flights down to a realistic price, our whole family took advantage. At first we stayed on the South Coast, which is lovely, but when we found the Sunset Crest/Holetown area, I felt I'd come home.
This genteel area has more gentle seas, the underwater national park (so the snorkeling is great) and it has great facilities - everything's on the doorstep. I always tell guests that they don't need a car here except for sightseeing purposes.
The area has seen some sympathetic re-development in recent years, with pleasing results. The facilities are right up to date for the 21st century whilst all the character and charm of the Caribbean has been preserved, notably the chattel village - a cute collection of brightly painted wooden shanties selling a wide range of goods. By contrast, we have Lime Grove, a smart, semi open-plan shopping mall selling all the top designer labels. It offers several restaurants and a cinema too.
We saw Mangoes in Spring of 2003 and I fell in love instantly. In my eyes it was the perfect house in the perfect place. It did need a lot of TLC, but after quite a bit of updating, it's now a home we are proud to share and we have every confidence that our guests will love it too.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

I knew I wanted to buy a big house (big enough for all the family) in Sunset crest/Holetown area - it's such a nice, peaceful tree-lined, up-market place.
It took a lot of planning and hard work to acquire Mangoes - I prepared my personal projection based on our finances eight years in advance of the year we bought and I'm so glad it all came right! We saw Mangoes in Spring of 2003 and I fell in love instantly.
What made me do that? Well .....
The proximity to the beach could only be better if the situation were beach-front..... we are just across the road; a two minute walk at most! We just grab a towel, take the tiny key for the wrought iron doors, leave the breeze streaming through and cross the road for a swim in the warm Caribbean. If a storm has whipped up the waves a bit too much, we use the pool which is also just across the road.
I like to swim in the late afternoon and to watch the sky changing from blue, through pink and gold to a velvety violet as evening begins. After swimming, we often have a drink at the beach bar and watch the sun setting over the sea.
The other thing that smote me instantly were the gardens which were a dream. I was entranced by the gazebo, secretly tucked away in the secluded, shady, rear garden...... it's where we have breakfast every morning when we are at Mangoes.
Generally, we couldn't have a better location, we are within easy walking distance of all the amenities; a wide range of shops, bars, banks, supermarket, restaurants to suit all pockets - what more could anyone want?
Every little thing we have done to Mangoes has made it that little bit nicer, brighter, homier.
