About this property

Beach Lover's delight!!

Tantalus Villa, Brighton Beach, St. Michael, is a luxurious beachfront property along the West Coast of Barbados. The property has a five bedroom suites on the upper two levels of the main house. It is a beautiful residence with high quality coral stone finishing and flooring throughout. The total area is approximately 4200 square feet on the upper two levels with large balconies on both levels. Each bedroom is fully air-conditioned and equipped with ceiling fans as well.
The primary feature of Tantalus Villa is the large open living area overlooking the beautiful Caribbean sea. This is a beach lovers delight as the spacious balcony overlooks the beautiful sandy beach and the aquamarine Caribbean Sea. Brighton Beach itself is one of the top swimming/beach combing areas on the west coast of Barbados and after enjoying your day on the beach or in the water, you are perfectly situated to watch another Caribbean sunset displayed in glorious color right from your balcony. Enjoy having your meals at a large round glass dining room table overlooking the ocean and just steps away from the well laid out gourmet kitchen complete with all the amenities. All the doors and windows to the outside have full movable shutters to allow the breezes and light to flow through.
There are two bedrooms and a media room plus a laundry/utility area to the back half of the lower level of this two story suite, with a further three bedrooms and fitness room in the upper level. The master bedroom on the top level is a massive room with a private verandah and views over the pool and sea. It is a stunning room with the feel of living in a luxurious tree house and you may never want to leave.
Alongside the house is a large rectangular pool with Roman steps at one end. The pool is mosaic tiled in a dark cobalt blue color that keeps it exceptionally warm throughout the year. The grounds are well developed with mature trees and shrubbery and there are over a dozen coconut and other palms along the beachfront for shade. There is a private beach access gate with outdoor shower and lounging/seating areas. Brighton Beach itself, is a wide, calm beach ideally suited for all kinds of activity. The swimming and snorkeling is very good and you can jog or walk on uninterrupted on the sand for well over a kilometer in each direction.
Other positive features are that the location is excellent for access to downtown, West Coast, Warrens and the ABC Highway.your doorstep. The property enjoys good breezes for most of the year as it is not in the shadow of the more elevated lands along the west coast. An ideal family residence in a quiet area with good security.

About the host

Hosted by John Paul Jones and Heather Harrington Jones

Host profile image
Heather and John-Paul moved to Barbados from Canada in 1983. This is our first and only home on the island and we have loved living here and raising our two sons in Barbados over the past 38 years. JP is now a semi-retired ex-banking executive while Heather owns and operates a luxury jewellery store. We love to travel to exotic locations and enjoy epic adventures with our friends. We are sailors, skiers, motorcyclists, scuba divers and bon vivants. We look forward spending some time getting to know our guests and have had many wonderful experiences with visitors to Tantalus over the years.

Why they chose this property

When coming to the Caribbean and choosing to live on an island, we always felt it was important to be on the beach. We feel blessed to have bought this property so many years ago as there are so few beach properties available and with the development Barbados has seen over the past few decades, they are becoming more built out and expensive. We are very happy to have made this purchase so long ago! It has been enjoyed by loads of relatives and friends who have come to visit us and it is so easy when you have the beach and pool right on your doorstep to entertain everyone. We get a lot of serenity here just watching the changes in the ocean and all the flora and fauna around us. Nothing like a good beach walk in the morning to set your day up right. The sunsets can be superb and there are numerous spots on the property to relax on and enjoy a quiet time or share with your favorite people.

What makes this property unique

Heather is a gourmet cook and the kitchen is a reflection of her love for entertaining. The house enjoys good breezes throughout the winter months so very little need for air conditioning, but it is always available. We have a nice selection of hammocks and beach loungers, you will certainly find your own special spot.
