About this property

Tranquil 2 bedroom, 2 Bathroom Villa, Sunset Crest, St. James


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.

Amazing villa and great location
We loved this villa! It is in a great location of beautiful Barbados and we always felt very secure. As two couples sharing the villa, we had plenty of space, both inside and outside. We truly enjoyed the outdoor covered area to start and end our day. A 10 minute walk to the main road where we could easily get transportation to explore the island, and approximately a 12 minute walk to the beach and The Beach House. As “beach people” we didn’t think we’d use the facility but we loved having access to the loungers, pool and bar/restaurant area. A beautiful place to relax while overlooking the sea. Our host Linda was very helpful to ensure everything was satisfactory and everyone was happy. Tania was also available to ensure our stay was a pleasant one. A housekeeper and a gardener also ensure the property is well kept. We highly recommend and would love to return.

Excellent for a family or two couples.
This place is amazing, with lots of space for a family or perhaps two couples to share. We stayed with two teenagers and we all had space to enjoy. The rooms are generous in size and there are multiple large outdoor seating areas.The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and comes fully equipped.The host is very helpful and responsive through the entire process, from booking, settling in, enjoying the stay, and leaving. She cares.The house is about 1km from the club with pool and beach, and a bit further for shopping. We stayed for 1 week and did not rent a car. We walked most places and occasionally took a bus (very, very easy to do) or taxi. The walking was fine for us as our family enjoys the trade-off you get for a much larger place that only requires a short walk to the beach and town. If walking is not for you, I would suggest getting a rental car.The only small considerations I would suggest are:1. The bedrooms are air conditioned, but the rest of the house is not. This was perfectly fine for us during our visit in March, but for someone who likes to come home to an ice box while they are on vacation, something to consider.2. Housekeeping is occasional. This was fine for our family and we don't necessarily like or need for housekeeping to interrupt our vacation more than that. But for someone who expects daily deep cleaning, consider discussing with the host. The groundskeeper was there daily and did an excellent job.This place is a gem!

Location of palm villa is incredible for exploring Barbados. Close to grocery stores, fish markets, restaurants and beaches. After exploring the island all day it was so relaxing to sit in the back yard listening to birds,frogs, and see a few monkeys going through. BBQ was great to cook the fish from the market, kitchen fully equipped, and Linda was incredibly helpful and responsive in any questions we had. This villa is a perfect place to enjoy everything Barbados has to offer.

Uncared for
Not very clean, bathrooms especially, all appliances need replacing as are rusting. The grouting on the kitchen worktop dirty and unhygienic as are the bathroom floors. Toilet seats and accessories, shower rails, toilet roll holders, taps and the showers don’t spray properly etc. Trip hazard on steps as the metal edging is coming away, it could be a lovely property if updated and cleaned properly two times a week, our experience was that anything above head height is never cleaned, and the cleaner came once a week. The wooden sun loungers in the courtyard garden were most uncomfortable because the seat pads again need replacing with thicker pads, they are stained and very old. The pictures on Virbo are out very of date, garden very dark and overgrown. The access to the beach club was very good with spotless bathrooms, pool was lovely and we could step out onto the beach, it’s at least a fifteen minute walk away from the property. The 10/10 listing on Virbo is inaccurate because the standard of the property must have been deteriorating over a long period of time. The instruction book in the property is also out of date.

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%.

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.

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!
