Härliga villa-frodiga trädgårdar. Lätt 2 min promenad till strand, pool, barer, restauranger, butiker

Mangoes har nyligen renoverats och är nu ett hus med tre sovrum, tre badrum med två badrum med badrum till de två huvudsakliga sovrummen.
Denna vackra fristående villa i frodiga tropiska trädgårdar är tillgänglig för fester upp till 7 i antal. Par är särskilt välkomna - vi tycker det är härligt att ha detta utrymme för oss två!
Det säger sig självt att hela huset och grunderna alltid är för din fest.
Mangoes kunde inte vara bättre belägna; det är tvärs över gatan från en sandstrand och poolen.

Sunset Crest, där Mangoes ligger är ett vackert bostadsområde precis vid "Platina-kusten" i Barbados och nära de två historiska gatorna i Holetown. De flesta av husen är ganska stora, fristående fastigheter (ägs av respektabla arbetande människor) med vackra, tropiska trädgårdar som alla bidrar till den trevliga atmosfären i området.
Stranden och poolen ligger tvärs över gatan. Poolen ägs privat av Sunset Crest fastighetsägare och serveras av Beach House som erbjuder restaurang, bar och faciliteter. Inträde till poolen är gratis för lokala invånare och hyresgäster, och eftersom många lokalbefolkningar arbetar människor med liv att ta hand om och inte mycket tid att simma, gör det det ganska underutnyttjat.

Tillbaka till Mangoes ... ... ett nytt badrum till tvåbäddsrummet / drottningen gör Mangoes till ett sovrum med tre sovrum, tre badrum med två badrum och det andra för privat bruk av det andra sovrummet.
Huset är stort med tre uteserveringar; formellt i vår "al fresco" matsal, tyst i lusthuset som är undangömt i den bakre trädgården (som jag kallar den hemliga trädgården) eller på den stora verandan; förmodligen det mest populära och mest använda området i huset.

Det finns sju bäddar i tre generösa sovrum; befälhavaren är en tvilling / superkung (med kassaskåpet i garderoben) - nu badrum, den andra är tvilling / drottningen också nu badrum och den tredje har tre enkelsängar, eller en stor dubbelsäng och en singel om så önskas med privat badrum några steg längs korridoren.
Alla sovrum har gott om garderobsrum, toalettbord och sittplats, hårtork, spegel i full längd, nattduksbord och lampor. Alla är utrustade med takfläkt och luftkonditionering utan extra kostnad.
Det finns också en vikbar barnsäng.

De tre, färska, moderna badrummen har alla generöst stora duschar, handfat och loo.

Köket har nyligen renoverats med gott om färska, nya skåp med vita dörrar och arbetsytor av granit. Det är välutrustat med tropiskt kyl / frys, spis / spis, vattenkokare, kaffebryggare, brödrost, kastruller, porslin, bestick etc.
Från köket har vi ett nyligen förnyat toalett med tvättmöjligheter för din användning.

Vardagsrummet är ljust och luftigt med fönster / franska dörrar på tre sidor. Håll brisen flödande men även när du är ute genom att låsa de smarta smidesjärnportarna, för att skydda huset och din egendom.
Detta rum är möblerat med en tre / två / en sockerrörsvit i tropisk stil, soffbord, platt-TV med flera kanaler, video- och DVD-spelare och välfyllda bokhyllor.
Två ljusa "Hunter" -ljus (med fläkt) hänger från taket och ett tillfälligt bord i hörnet bär en lampa, telefonen och vår gästbok!
Det finns tre uppsättningar av franska glasdörrar från vardagsrummet; två till verandan och en till den formella matsalen.

Matsalen är möblerad med ett stort vitt träbord och sex stoppade stolar. Dess vackra välvda fönster vetter mot trädgården på tre sidor.

Verandan har utsikt över trädgården och är väl inredda med ett modernt urval av möbler i attraktiva jordfärger. Detta består av en tvåsits soffa, två armstolar, matbord med sex vadderade matstolar och den berömda Mamasan relaxer - mycket älskad av alla! Sammantaget motsvarar detta bekväma sittplatser för 11 personer! Det finns också ett soffbord, fläktar och bra belysning inklusive en extra standardlampa.
Detta är en underbar plats att sitta på kvällen, med utsikt över trädgården med dess vackra båge (och fe-ljus), koppla av och lyssna på det glada ljudet från trädgrodorna som kvittrar bort!

Inredningen är aktuell och belysning runt fastigheten har noggrant beaktats för att främja en mjuk och avkopplande atmosfär när så önskas, samtidigt som det erbjuder tillräckligt med ljus för att njuta av läsning.

En tidigare gäst skrev till oss efter sin semester och sa att han på sin första kväll, när han satt på verandan med utsikt över trädgården, trodde att han hade dött och gått till himlen! Han hade tittat på vår blommig båge, upplyst med ganska fe-lampor på natten.
Tropisk vegetation är exotisk och vi har en rad intressanta, användbara och vackra växter runtom i huset. Vi har bougainvillea, hibiskus, frangipani, citrongräs, aloe vera, alamander, ökenros, paradisfågel och mer. Själva bågen är prydd med en lättsam klättrare med vackra, fjädra löv och känsliga rosa klockor.

INKLUDERADE TJÄNSTER
Det finns takfläktar i vardagsrummet, kök och sovrum som också erbjuder luftkonditionering. (Ingen extra kostnad för detta.)
Det finns städservice två gånger i veckan. Detta innebär byte av sängkläder, rengöring av badrum och mopping golv etc.
Telefonen ringer gratis runt ön. Det ringer inte till nummer utomlands men samtal från utlandet kan tas emot.
Gratis wifi.
Det säkra - tillräckligt stort för allas egendom.

Det finns inga extra avgifter och avgifter för att bo på Mangoes. Be om förtydligande om du är osäker.

NB. I juli 2018 började Barbados Revenue Authority ta ut en "rumsavgift" för alla besökare på ön. Det är mitt jobb att samla in denna avgift och leverera den till rätt avdelning. Avgiften är 2. 5% (en fyrtionde) av den totala hyreskostnaden.

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.

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.

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.

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!

I rented a property in St. James Barbados through Home away from home. I have no regrets. Excellent

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Varför värden valde detta boende

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.

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.
