Guest comments
Mar 08-9/10 Villa larger than expected. The beds & sofas were very comfortable. The monkeys were a real treat!
May 08-It is a beautiful house & location and totally lived up to my expectations. It was one of the best holidays I have ever had. My only regret is that I had to come home!
Jul 08-Full Marks-We had a fabulous time and the house & location were everything we had hoped for and more. The facilities were 1st class and very comfortable. A true home from home. A very high standard compared to other places we have stayed in in the past. We would love to return to the house in the future and would certainly recommend it.
Jan 09-It was great to return to the villa and are sure we will return again in the future. We wouldn't want to stay anywhere else!
Feb 09-10/10 Perfect hol, you have thought of everything. Villa bigger and better than expected and we can't wait to return.
Jan 10 - We are regular visitors to Barbados and this is one of the best villas we have ever stayed in.
Owner profile
Steve, Fiona & Scott
About the owner
We are Steve & Fiona Goodsell and we have one son, Scott, who is 9 years old. We live in North Hampshire but sometimes dream of moving to Barbados because of it's friendliness, slow pace of life and fabulous climate all year. We originally visited Barbados for our honeymoon in 1994 but could not resist returning time and time again. Steve runs his own Property Services Company and Fiona works part-time in HR. Whilst in Barbados, Steve enjoys watching a local cricket match, fishing off Skeetes Bay, or in the evening he can be found drinking rum and playing dominoes with the locals. Fiona's favourite day out is a visit to The Crane Hotel for lunch or relaxing at Bottom Bay/Crane Beach. Scott likes to play in the pool, go to the beach or sail on a catamaran and swim with the turtles.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We discovered the villa half built in 2005 and although we did not intend to take on a building project at that time, it was an opportunity not to be missed, as it was in an idyllic peaceful location and the internal layout was great. So we knew that this would be ideal place for us but also a place that guests would enjoy because of it's privacy and chance to experience the real Barbados including monkeys playing in the trees alongside the villa. A walk across country to Skeetes Bay has great views across Culpepper Island and up to East Point Lighthouse. The East Coast is on our doorstep and a short drive away is St John's church and the view from there over to Bathsheba is stunning. A visit to The Roundhouse in Bathsheba is not be missed and neither is the view from Cherry Tree Hill.
Unique benefits of the property
The outside space is quite large and the villa has 3 patios, 1 covered patio for dining, the 2nd is alongside the pool for sunbathing and the 3rd is upstairs and has panoramic views of the sea and the surrounding area or it is ideal for hiding away and having a sneaky siesta in one of the hammocks. The local shop is in walking distance across the field behind the villa so supplies are only a short walk away. The local bus stops at the end of the road & is always a way to see how local life operates. If the bus driver plays loud music, drives fast, gets off to visit a shop or calls in at his mums whilst on route, don't be surprised! We love sharing the villa with our guests and are really pleased that several guests have visited on more than one occasion.
