Coral Cliff House was lovingly built in the 1970s as a family retreat on the old sugar plantation of Maynards. Its stunning elevated position on the edge of an escarpment with a private tranquil garden and pool, allows fantastic views of the sea and is the perfect spot to watch the Caribbean sunset, with rum punch in hand. The bedrooms, one double, one twin/double, both en-suite, and a small double bedroom with its own shower, wc facilities. The open plan living/dining room opens completely to allow the cool trade winds to blow through the house, as a result air-conditioning in this environmentally friendly house is blissfully not needed. Situated on the Caribbean coast, the house is easily accessible to all the famous west coast beaches. The nearest, Six Mens Bay, being a short 10 minute walk. Nearby Speightstown and Holetown offer all the facilities from high class restaurants to the local rum bars, watersports, golf courses, tennis courts, banks, shops, internet cafes.
