SPINDRIFT is a single-story home of native Barbados Coral Stone - located just steps away from beautiful Mullins Beach or serene Gibbes Beach - on Barbados' famous "Platinum Coast." ** Now a Government Approved Isolation Location**

All four bedrooms are air conditioned - the master and 4th bedroom have en-suite baths, and all the living areas of the house have ceiling fans and large windows to enable the cooling sea breezes to flow through. All windows and outside doors have custom-made wrought iron bars to provide an added sense of security.

Our home is nestled under a canopy of mature trees, and has a large front garden perfect for playing children or just a stroll to pick the flowers or watch watch the wildlife. The entire property is fenced for privacy and security. There is also an enclosed carport for parking within this gated area.
The spacious front veranda is a comfortable place to enjoy your morning coffee, afternoon tea or cocktails. . . or to just relax, read and enjoy the tropical environment around you. Birds and sometimes local monkeys can be seen visiting our mango trees. Fresh fruit for breakfast, anyone?

Nothing is better than dining at home, on flying fish and cou cou, macaroni pie, peas and rice, fresh tropical fruit and vegetables, or pudding n' souse . . . after a long day of sight-seeing.

Perfect villa in the perfect location
I would highly recommend Spindrift, what a lucky find. This is our third year staying at Mullins Bay and the best villa so far. Spindrift has so much character and the location is perfect, literally a five minute walk to the beach. The large garden and veranda is great for all congregating over breakfast or in the evenings if you don't want to venture out, we even had monkeys running through the garden on one occasion which was an amazing sight. We will definitely not look at any other villa options when we next visit Barbados.

Perfect villa for family holiday.
Spindrift is located in a great spot between the beautiful beaches of Gibbes and Mullins. Depending on how fast you walk they can be reached between 5/7mins.. Across the road, set back in its own garden lies Spindrift. It has a lovely covered terrace at the front where we ate each evening and played games. The kitchen is sufficiently equipped. Each of the four bedrooms have a/c. The front bedroom gets the noise from the road which starts around 5am with buses racing up the road. The plus side is that the yellow or blue buses stop right outside, every few minutes. There is always room, and for only $2 you can have a most exciting ride,well worth the experience. We found food shopping very expensive. Fortunately Jeanetta (our housekeeper and a fountain of information ) suggested that we tried Speightstown Jordan's supermarket and the street market where the locals shop. We ate lunch a few times at The Fisherman’s Pub, which gave us a real taste of Bajan food. We love Speightstown and friendliness of the people. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Spindrift. It is a lovely spacious comfortable villa. We are all looking forward to staying in the future. Many thanks to Sue and Mike.

Excellent location with peaceful yard
This house is amazing for many reasons. The main one I think is that it is in a location that is nearby to so much to offer, right off the main road - yet - it has a huge, beautiful, garden-like yard in front. We put a hammock up, sat in chairs, napped, read - and that is not even talking about the enjoyable times spent on the large veranda with light, fans, table, chairs.... Very easy to walk to Gibbes and Mullins beaches. Can catch buses right there to go. I saw a huge troop of monkeys crossing street. Buses can take to anywhere you would want to go, but the house also has 2-car covered parking locked into gates at yard and house, off of nice lighted drive. Everything worked, well-stocked. Air conditioning in bedrooms. Huge house really, with good TV and furniture in living area. Plenty of towels, including beach towels appreciated. Mike and Sue were so easy and helpful throughout the entire booking process. If you are someone who likes to stay more in a quiet area, as we have always done on our visits to Barbados (we stay way over on east coast Bottom Bay in neighborhood with no stores, restaurants, etc. - I was worried I would not want to stay on west coast - although most people stay here) However, I can assure you, we enjoyed being close to Folkstone to snorkel, near to so many beaches, and convenience of stores, out-to-eat, etc. Yes there are the traffic sounds, but this is the property to choose, with this beautiful setting back off road with garden yard, very secure. Shower in front to wash off sand, laundry... The large size house and way laid out makes nice for group. It was 3 couples - my husband and our two grown kids and their spouses. Gibbes had some snorkeling, lots of sea glass, was surprised was as quiet as it was, as next beach up -Mullins has bar, activities, restaurant - so choose either right there. Again, huge positive factor was that the owners were so helpful and communicative. I have rented from HomeAway and VRBO... many times, and this was an excellent experience. Would recommend going to Holetown, behind post office/police station, it is where the boats come to snorkel with turtles, could just swim out there. But we did enjoy going on Sin-Bad Sailing Cruise from there. Find Bryan on TripAdvisor. Thanks so much to Spences for sharing their home in Barbados - they have been there for years and can help you with the island experience. Our favorite island vacation for sure.

Verified traveller

Relaxed stay for all the family
Excellent location re access to beaches----if a little noisy from traffic. Comfortably furnished and sleeps 7 people easily. Front verandah excellent and we carefully moved the dining room table there and had every meal outside! Juanetta helped two days a week to give the house a quick clean as well as hanging out some washing for us. Reasonably priced for the area so close to Gibbs and Mullins beaches.

Great stay!
Spindrift was an awesome choice for my family vaca. The location was perfect for having 2 young kids. Beaches were in walking distance. The house is well maintained and everything in the kitchen was super useful for home cooked meals. Before arrival the host (Sue) was very timely with communication for any questions I had. Great property and I would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Sue Spence

Host profile image
Caribbean guy meets Florida girl in Barbados. Mike met Sue while she was down on holiday with his family. They dated, married and moved to Seattle, WA. where Mike was employed by Boeing. Over the next 35 years, they raised their 2 boys and flew down to Barbados as often as school, work and finances allowed. Now that Mike is retired they hope to spend more time at their own 'Place in the Sun' on Mullins Beach when they are not sharing Spindrift with other vacationers.

Why they chose this property

Mike grew up in Barbados in a Traditional Coral Stone home with traditional mahogany furniture. He spent most of his younger years snorkeling at Bath Beach on the East Coast, but as when he started driving, he would come to West Coast's Mullins Beach. Our Spindrift is just across the street from where he used to swim (and drink rum at the Beach Bar).
It's the a perfect little Coral Stone home. Large enough to entertain family and friends - Small enough to be cozy and inviting. Open beam vaulted ceilings add to its charm and the 3 large, lovely arched doorways that lead from the main living area out onto the circular veranda soften the traditional layout.

What makes this property unique

We were so fortunate to find such a comfortable home within a 5 minute walk to the beach. We grab our beach bag and we are off to walk, swim, snorkel or sun.
When we are home, we live on the veranda - entertaining family and friends, reading, playing games, and enjoying our beverages as we watch nature pass through our garden. In the evenings we can watch the sunset through the trees.

Location, Location, Location . . . Just a short walk to several bars, restaurants or the mini-mart.
We are perfectly situated between Holetown and Speightstown. A 15 minute car or bus ride will get us to: a department store and a supermarket in either town, several more bars and restaurants, 2 hardware stores, the fish market, snorkeling in Folkstone and shopping for either a high-end something special or a T-shirt or local crafts. We can also go to church - ours or several others (*** Fun Fact*** Barbados has more churches and rum shops, per capita, than any other country in the world!)

Wonderful sights and activities unfold within a 1 hour drive from Spindrift.
*All of the beaches around the island are public and each is worth visiting- Bathsheba, Bath, Accra, Crane, Harrismith, Rockley just to name a few.
*Every Parish has its namesake church - many hundreds of years old
*Lovely gardens like Hunte's, Andromeda or Welchman's Hall Gully
*Historic Bridgetown, (Yes, George Washington slept here!) Plantation houses like Sunbury or St. Nicholas Abbey.
*Monuments and Statues- Gunn Hill, Nelson's statue in Bridgetown (is older than the one in London! )
Harrison's Cave . . . and then there are the Rum Distilleries: Mount Gay, Four Square (RL Seale)

We love Barbados! It's the Tropics - It's Warm!
Family, Friends, Sun, Fun, Beaches and Rum!
