On the subject of Air conditioning, these units are very powerful and consume alot of energy. We have imposed a surcharge fee for electrical consumption over and above 22 KwHrs (Units) per day. Avoiding this surcharge is very simple. Don't run the air conditioning units 24/7. Shut them down when you leave the house. Treat this issue the same as you would central heating in Northern Europe. If exceeded , this leve will be deducted from the security deposit of £200, retained by VRBO on your card. You can view your consumption from the electrical supply meter on the house.

The best week away

Emcee really lived up to its billing. First of all, Andrew and Kate were super helpful and responsive with literally every small question which was appreciated as we hadn't been to the island before. We really liked the beach recommendations too. The villa is perfect, deceptively spacious and the air con and plunge pool help so much with the heat. We loved being amongst the locals, and the Bajan people overall contributed so much to our enjoyment of this holiday. Our 6 year old daughter said they are 'joyful' and I think that sums it up. The location is great just a short walk into Speightstown. I'd recommend a stop en route at the Caboose bar for the best rum punch that we had in a week. We also loved the Fish Pot restaurant and Local and Co. Both a little more $$$ but such high quality. We loved the island and staying at Emcee

Accommodation

A lovely property located in safe friendly neighbourhood. The house is perfect for long or short stay. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the screened and airy patio watching the world go by. Brilliant location, easy short walk into Speightstown with its amenities and of course the beautiful and undeveloped beaches.

Emcee ticked met every expectation

This property is located in a fantastic area, a short walk to the centre of Speightstown and beautiful Heywoods Beach. It was invaluable for us staying amongst Bajan families. There is nothing quite like experiencing life with the locals, they were friendly, supportive and fun. The property is spacious and light, it is ultra comfortable and to sit outside is a real experience. The plunge pool was larger than we anticipated and helped keep us cool, whilst the garden had a wealth of wildlife to watch including hummingbirds and lizards. I cannot fail to recommend this property and Kate and Andrew were very knowledgeable about the area and provided comprehensive information prior to arrival. They also offered to book taxi transport to and from airport if needed which is a bonus. Would most certainly return to Emcee.

Great house for self catering

Excellent property in a great local community area. Very close to Speightstown and it’s bars and restaurants. Heywoods beach a short stroll away and Port St Charles across the road where you can use Pier One ( the old Yacht Club). We had a car for our stay but you can get around fairly easily from Emcee using the buses to most parts of the island. The plunge pool was added bonus and big enough for four adults. Only negative we could find was that one on the air conditioning units was very noisy when switching on and off Overall fantastic property though and would recommend for two couples or a family

About the host

Hosted by Mr. and Mrs. A. Scott

Kate is a Special needs teacher and I am an Engineering officer in the Merchant navy. My wife and I own Emcee, in Barbados and The Old Barn annex in Beckwithshaw, Harrogate. Both homes are very dear to us and guests have commented on how welcome they were made to feel in the home from home atmosphere in both properties. Indeed, we aim to offer our guests as much care as possible during their stays in warm and friendly environments. We have travelled quite a bit and stayed in many self-catering villas, both home and away and so have gleened from this what we all need during our breaks from reality. We hope you have an enjoyable and pleasant vacation wherever you decide to book. All the best. Andrew Scott.

Why they chose this property

As I have said above, I work as a merchant seaman and know quite a bit about foreign shores. For me, Barbados has that mix of having familiar establishments yet having a different character. Barbados is very safe and the weather is 95% fantastic. We started coming to the island in 1994 and have vacationed here most years since. The people are friendly, helpful, chatty and warming. We purchased Emcee in 2008 from an English couple and annually we have made adaptations to the villa, refurbishing the bathrooms and pool. Emcee sits in a quiet, friendly, safe neighbourhood, where you will become part of the local way of living, all witnessed from the veranda and upstairs balcony.

What makes this property unique

We firmly believe our property offers outstanding value for money. We can meet you at the airport, stopping off to get basic provisions on the way to Emcee if wished and take you to the villa where you are met by our manageress and made to feel most welcome. Our manager's aim is to help all guests during their stay and she is on hand to solve any issues where possible. We enjoy hearing back from our guests and appreciate and take on board any comments they make which will allow other guests to enjoy their stay even more. We do appreciate guests reporting to Helen, any damages incurred during their stay. This is in order that they may be rectified for the following guests. We supply each set of our guests with our "Rough Guide" to Emcee and the island, with handy tips we have picked up while holidaying on the island and some great places to eat, drink, visit. Wendy will clean, change the beds and linen and tidy up after a ten night stay. This time will be arranged on your arrival when you meet Helen. Guests staying 14 nights, will have a clean at the end of 7 nights. Emcee is our home from home in Barbados- relaxing, comfortable, breezy and spacious, open plan configuration downstairs, light and airy. Very high, beamed ceilings, mosquito nets and monkey bars on windows. Our plunge pool now has atmospheric lighting and a salt water, chlorination system, run from the utility/pump room.
