About this property

This delightful 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom Villa is situated on Palm Avenue, Sunset Crest, a central location in St. James on the famous west coast. It is a wonderful shady retreat in a quiet residential location, ideal for relaxing and just dreaming. It is nestled in large tranquil tropical, gardens and yet it is only 5 minutes away from The Beach House, with large 50 ft pool, bar and restaurant, which is fully available to Palm Villa guests.
We offer a high standard of furnishings and fittings - all you could need for a perfect holiday. The villa has a lovely double patio area for relaxing and dining while the lounge provides comfortable seating (two seater and three seater settees with chair) so you can choose your 'downtime' area! French doors lead you onto the patio and there is large settee and rattan chairs and lovely breeze to keep you cool. The villa has everything to meet your needs - Direct TV, DVD, stereo, Free Wi-Fi and free telephone for all local calls, plus fully equipped kitchen with fridge, freezer, cooker, liquidiser, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and all necessary crockery and utensils to a high standard.

The bedrooms are both en-suite and are light and airy with comfortable king size beds. Both have overhead ceiling fans and AC for your comfort. A third bedroom is also available with twin beds and AC should this be needed.

Fabulous white sandy beaches are 5 minutes walking distance from the villa and wind along the coastline both north and south. As well as tourist attractions such as tropical gardens, safari jeep tours, horse riding, cruises, catamaran trips, water sports, golf, tennis, duty free shopping - the area has everything you could possibly want and more! With so many places of interest and excursions on offer it's hard to decide where to go and what to do! Car hire is simple and easy - to visit the rugged east coast, which is wild and beatuiful and very different to the tranquil west coast

Holetown is the central hub of activity with its bars, restaurants and renown 'First Street'. Banks, supermarket and the new Lime Grove development are right on the doorstep, hosting international fashion brands (for duty free shopping) and restaurants to tempt every taste.

Access to The Beach House with 50ft pool and loungers plus bar/restaurant facilities, are available to the guests of Palm Villa

Delightful

This is a lovely villa nestled away in its own private garden. Short walk to the beach, restaurants, bars & bus stop where you can catch buses to Bridgetown, Speightstown & Oistins for $2 BD. The reggae bus is certainly an experience ! It is well furnished, clean & has all the utensils including BBQ if you want to self cater. Linda the owner is great to communicate with, ringing us on arrival to make sure everything was ok & we were extremely grateful for the supplies left. Our flight out was a late one & Linda had arranged for us to leave our cases & shower at the hotel next door as she had new tennants the same day. Would thoroughly recommend this delightful accommodation & hope to return.

Wonderful villa in perfect location

We've visited the West Coast many times, and this villa is in the perfect location with a beautiful, shady tropical garden. It has just the right level of comfort and we felt at home immediately. Linda and her team made us feel so welcome. All in all an excellent experience, thank you!

Hidden Oasis

Property was hidden behind a lovely garden. Great facilities with everything you could possibility want/need, another blessing was the laundry meaning we came home with clean clothes. Close to beach and great to have pool option albeit only serviced with bar part of the week. Only slight downside was the uphill walk back in the heat.

Great place to stay!

Have stayed in Sunset Crest / Holetown several times before as it's one of our favourite parts of Barbados. Very pleased when we arrived to be greated by Tania who gave us a tour of this lovely property and also put us contact with a few people who might be able to make our stay more comfortable (we managed a cheeky discount on Payne's sun loungers!) - really helped us to settle in quickly :) The property itself if great, tatsefully decorated and has everything you could ever need. Beds are all very comfortable and the rooms are spacious. There's a 3rd bedroom accessed throiugh the second which was great for us as both kids had their own space. 2 bathrooms which is also handy when you have teenagers! Outside there's plenty of space to relax or dine and the gardens are very lush with a great level of privacy. We spent a few more evenings "at home" as it was such a lovely environment to chill out in. We'll definitely be back to Barbados and will absolutely contact Linda when looking for somewhere to stay - great host and really appreciated the phone call to make sure we had everything we needed :)

FAMILY FRIENDLY

Well equipped family accommodations for 2 adults and 3 children (6 - 10). Ms Janice (house keeper) and Joel (groundskeeper) kept things nice for us.. We hit the beach every day and quickly found out that Barbados was a bit more expensive than we thought but once we found the Rubbermaid containers in the cupboard, that made making transportable lunches doable, it really made the difference in our daily trips as the kids were always hungry.. we found the pool access a great alternative to the beach. Walking distance to shopping and groceries were an extra bonus. A special thanks for that Linda for having a well equipped kitchen (blender, kettle, cups, mugs, plates and bowls), beach towels and more❤️… Sorry for the broken can opener

Great house

Everything was perfect! Tanya was very nice during check-in and took the time to explain everything. The house is big and this being Barbados, we really enjoyed the outdoor spaces (living room and dining room). House was super clean, the kitchen was very well equipped (especially compared to other rentals we have been to), the washer and dryer were useful and the neighborhood was very quiet. Added bonus: our kids loved watching the family of monkeys who passed through the yard daily! Communication with Linda was efficient. Holetown and it’s restaurants, shops and supermarket was a 10 minute walk away through safe little streets. Lastly: we used the pool at the Beach Club at the end of each day before coming home; it was clean and well kept!

Quiet and tranquil

Palm villa is a lovely house with beautiful mature gardens that provide plenty of shade and cool breeze, a great place to relax and switch off. Only ten minutes walk to the beach club which we found really useful with two teeangers in tow, Linda is a great host and answered any questions quickly as well as arranging a taxi from the airport at a good price ! We were met on arrival and shown how everything woked plus Janice the housekeeper called in twice to tidy up etc which was an unexpected bonus - would we go again, 100%.

Delightfully relaxing

This was one of the most pleasant places we have ever stayed at during our travels. The villa was beautifully landscaped as a tropical oasis in an ideal location. Our hostess, Linda, couldn't have been more welcoming. Our housekeeper, Janice and grounds keeper Juhel kept everything neat and tidy. Can't wait to go back.

Quiet and Peaceful

A beautiful location with 3 spacious bedrooms. Great for 2 guests as you get your own bathroom. Love the 2 outdoor shaded areas. Great for working out, doing computer work and relaxing. No pool but beach and beach club pool are only a 10 min walk. Monkeys are cute too and make an appearance in the morning:)

Tropical Gardens

Excellent organisation of taxi & housekeeper/reception despite our flight being 2 hours late. There were just two of us so the property seemed even bigger than for most families Large outdoors with gardens, seating areas & dining table. Indoors, three bedrooms & everything you could need - all as described in the listing. Beach club, pool & nearby beaches within easy walking distance, a car isn't necessary as it is so close to Holetown. We didn't. Helpful owner kept in regular contact throughout.

Paradise at Palm Villa

We cannot overstate how lovely everyone was who was in any way associated with Palm Villa , Sunset Crest. The whole team made our family feel safe and at home. The neighbors, the monkeys in the morning on the patio, the walk for coffee, the walk to the beach, the beach, the housekeeper and gardener all delightful. The laundry facilities were super useful and the showers refreshing.

Good location, just a short walk to the beach and the Holetown shops/restaurants. Excellent communication throughout booking and during our stay with Linda. High quality furnishings & equipment both inside and out. Outside space looked after by a lovely gardener and the inside left absolutely spotless by the housekeeper. You really can't go wrong with this accommodation.

The Best!

We loved this home! It was perfect for two couples. The bedrooms are a good size and the ensuite bathrooms in each bedroom was great to have. We loved the outdoor sitting area. We had our coffee there each morning. We felt very safe in the home/area. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking. The owner even purchases a new blender for me to have my breakfast smoothies each morning - much appreciated! Everything was supplied including all the toilet paper and even bug repellant. The owner arranged pickup to/from airport which was great. The owner called twice to ensure everything was okay. It was great having access to the beach house which is a 15 minute walk away. The only negative comment I have is the beds were very hard which made sleeping uncomfortable. But other than that, I would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it to others.

Palm Villa

We had a wonderful time in Barbados. One of the major reasons was because of Palm Villa and Linda our host. Beautiful gardens surround the property and we really enjoyed the outdoor living. Linda was an extremely attentive host, we had a plumbing problem during our stay, but Linda handled the entire situation quickly and professionally. We would not hesitate to recommend Palm Villa for a wonderful holiday. Thank you Linda for sharing your lovely home.

Tranquil setting

Palm villa is set on a quiet avenue, surrounded by beautiful gardens. There were only two of us, but it still would have been spacious enough for 6. Every amenity has been carefully considered by our host Linda, who's communication with us could not be faulted, to make a very smooth and easy check in process. We would highly recommend this property for the relaxing location, just a short stroll from the beaches. Perfect.

Excellent location, very comfortable villa and walkable to the beach

Linda was very responsive and offered an outstanding hospitality. Everything was very smooth from check in to check out. Villa is very comfortable in a great location. Close walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. We also had access to the Beach House (beach club) which was a great bonus. Closest beaches to villa were stunning, we also loved Sandy Lane beach (just a few stops on a local bus). We always walked to the Messy supermarket, approx 15mins walk and liked Just Grilling restaurant for a casual lunch or dinner, also possible take away. Restaurant Lone Star is spectacular for a special occasion or a nice dinner although expensive. We also loved coffee/drinks at Sandpiper hotel 20mins walk on the beach. Overall, Linda’s place is great in a fabulous location, completely recommend it!

Fabulous two weeks at Sunset Crest!

The villa met our needs perfectly and had absolutely everything we needed. We loved the location - perfect to explore the island and sample the many wonderful restaurants! Access to the beach house was an added bonus - great to relax by the pool, enjoy the view of the Caribbean and swim in the clear waters. Linda was incredibly helpful and ensured our stay was as comfortable as could be. The villa is very well equipped; we didn't need to buy anything. Perfect for two couples. We enjoyed exploring and had a fabulous catamaran trip with Calabaza - would have gone twice if we'd done it first week. Enjoyed wonderful meals at The Tides, The Cliff Beach House, Lonestar and very many more. A special holiday, a special place and would recommend Sunset Crest!

Lovely property in excellent condition, quiet and secluded

We stayed at the property for 1 week in the middle of December. We were met on arrival by Janice who was lovely and showed us around the property. Hole town is great with some lovely bars and eating places. The property is within easy walking distance of the beach and all amenities, yet it is set of the beaten track in a very private and secluded position. Linda was very attentive and checked a few times to make sure we had arrived safely and settled in ok. We would definitely recommend this property and would love to return.

Great place to relax.

We had a wonderful two weeks at Palm Villa. We tried to book this villa for last year but it was unavailable for the time we wanted, however, the wait was worth it. Linda was great to deal with from the first contact until our last day there and called us a few times to make sure everything was o.k. There is so much comfortable living space both inside and outside and it is ideal for families or two couples. We never felt the need to use the air conditioning as there is always airflow throughout the house. The kitchen is very well equipped with lots of work space. Janice, the housekeeper came in once a week to change the sheets and towels and keeps the place sparkling. The garden is lush and is well looked after by Jewel the gardener who is very knowledgeable about all the plants and trees in the area. Massy’s Supermarket is about fifteen minutes away but there is an available shuttle service. They stock pretty much everything you may need. The nearest beach is only about ten minutes away and is great for swimming with shade in the morning.There are more beaches further north on the other side of Holetown but they are a bit busier. We did take a couple of day trips round the island and also took the reggae bus into Bridgetown to spend the day at Carlisle Bay which has to be one of the best beaches anywhere. Just make sure that there aren’t too many cruise ships in port that day. We loved Palm Villa and would highly recommend it for either a short or long term stay. Thank you Linda for your hospitality and letting us have such a great time in your lovely villa.

Loved it so much

We loved our stay so much!! The house is even better than the pictures: it is spacious, very clean, it smells fresh, the outdoor spaces are so beautiful and relaxing! I could go on and on! Linda is such a wonderful hostess, she called us to make sure everything was good and the communication was always great from the moment of booking until after our stay. Thank you Linda! We have found our vacation spot and we will be back for sure. Barbados is a wonderful island that has so much more to offer than white sandy beaches. It is safe, still very authentic and the food is yummy! Can’t wait to be back, so for now I’ll dream about it every day :)

Home from home, but nicer weather

Linda's villa is well situated about 10-15 mins walk from the centre of Holetown. It is home from home, everything has been thought of. Linda called as we arrived and we knew she was there in the background if we needed her. She organised the airport transfers with David the driver, a very polite young man ready to help if needed. Janice the housekeeper met us at the house and showed us around and showed us where everything was. She also came to clean and change the beds during the stay. There were also plenty of towels for the beach etc. We loved the visits from the monkeys and their babies. The cards to use the Beach House were a great help. There is a lovely bar and restaurant along side the pool area. We had a great holiday in Barbados and really enjoyed staying in this lovely house.
