SPECTACULAR VILLA with Electronic Gates, Private Pool and Tropical Gardens

A beautiful 3 bedroom luxury villa with electronic gates and lush tropical gardens surrounding a private pool with integral seating for spa-jet massages. The Golden Palm villa has a sun-deck with sun-loungers for cooling and relaxing sun-kissed bodies, as well as a covered poolside terrace, equipped with barbecue and patio equipment perfect for all-fresco dining.

The Golden Palm gets its name from the beautiful palm trees located in the mature tropical garden with sprinkler irrigation system. The covered terrace leads into a spacious, open plan, living area with SMART TV, DVD player and stereo ipod deck for unwinding. The luxury kitchen and dining area is equipped with all mod-cons including coffee-maker and crockery for fine dining.

The property has 3 beautiful large double bedrooms all with air conditioning: the master bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, whilst the other two bedrooms share the main bathroom. All bedrooms are equipped with built-in wardrobes.

The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, bedroom 2 has a double bed whilst bedroom 3 has twin beds which can be converted to a king size bed upon request.

Situated in the popular parish of St. George, we benefit from a beautiful countryside location, close to local attractions including Orchid World and the historic Gun Hill signal station with panoramic views of almost the entire island! Close to local shops and bars and approx. 15 min drive to the Barbados Golf Club and coast with white sandy beaches, surrounded by the beautiful waters of the Caribbean Sea. There is plenty to see and do, and for those days out at the beach, picnic equipment is available.

Perfect for couples and families, the property is family-friendly, equipped with travel cot and high-chair for younger guests. A beautiful, unique location, easily accessible to the sights and the sea - your perfect villa.

Inland Barbados is a Vibe!
We had a wonderful stay at Golden Palm. It’s central location was a great base from which to explore the island. We enjoyed coming back to the peace and quiet away from the hotels and tourist spots on the west and south coasts. Inland Barbados is so beautiful and this property gives you the opportunity to see it daily. The living areas are comfortable and air con in the bedrooms was very welcome! As others have said the garden and pool are terrific- it’s a good size for a family and great for swimming, dipping or lazing on a lilo! Will never forget walking out to the sound of the birds on the first morning of our trip…garden gets good sun all day. The kitchen is well equipped, place is clean and a good size generally. In a quiet residential neighbourhood where we felt safe and secure. The property is in need of a bit of cosmetic TLC here and there but nothing that impacted our visit. The Welcome Pack was super useful and big up the property manager Juliet - she’s a real star and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Vrbo hosts also very responsive in lead up to the booking. View from the master en suite bathroom was my favourite, especially if you’re lucky enough to catch a sunset whilst showering! The wifi and cable TV worked well, so teen daughter kept happy. Car is essential. We were very happy with our choice to stay here as of course accommodation can make or break a holiday. Golden Palm was definitely a make!

Very good value Villa
The villa was fine, a few things were not working when we arrived which was frustrating but most were fixed during our stay. The house was clean and comfortable with some areas in need of a little tlc but you really can't fault it for the price. Location is OK about 25 mins from the coast the thing that is not mentioned is the traffic, if you are returning from Speightstown/Holetown area between 4-6pm allow about an extra hour as the traffic is terrible. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful setting
We had such an amazingly relaxed time at the villa. We were met by Juliette and Franklyn at the property - who were just delightful. They were so accommodating and welcoming. Certainly the best property managers we’ve ever dealt with. The pool is great and my family never wanted to leave! The beaches are a must and Fish Fry was so worth experiencing. We will certainly be back in Barbados. It’s so worth the flight!

Perfect base
Three spacious bedrooms with good air conditioning and plenty of storage. Large open plan downstairs with comfortable seating in the lounge, dining area to easily accommodate six and a kitchen with everything you could need. Excellent outdoor secure space for lounging, barbecuing and cooling off in the pool. Were met at the Villa by Juliet, the property manager, who was very helpful and friendly. A great central base from which to tour the whole of the island.

Lovely Property, Great Stay
Lovely house in rural Barbados, really nice, deep pool for cooling off in, comfy beds and everything (literally everything) you need for cooking/entertaining with a large cable TV selection to boot. We had a couple of problems that were swiftly dealt with by Juliette and Franklin (the house management company) and the communication with Peter and Donna in the UK was always prompt, the welcome pack they send with all the info in is great! Very highly recommended, lovely stay. Try and pop down to Cheers Bar for a game of pool with the locals, really really friendly people.

Lovely villa
This is our 7th trip to Barbados, we felt in love with the island. It was our first time in St. George; we really enjoyed it. The villa is about 20 minutes by car from all main attractions, very convenient. You can also go to Massy store at Sky Mall, 10 minutes and there are fruit and vegetables vendors at the Rendez-vous roundabout (Sir Garfield Sobers), 14 minutes. The villa is very nice, spacious, the kitchen is well equipped and the most important: the bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable. A/C in the bedrooms are new, quiet and very efficient. We really enjoyed the backyard with the pool with its intimacy. Neighbours are very nice and quiet, we met a few. It’s very safe, we feel secure. Dogs are not an issue, neighbour’s dog, Rocky, is the sweetest dog on earth. Dogs bark when the ice cream truck comes with the little music. We almost forgot, we stayed two months and there were no mosquitoes, no see um. We are100% sure we will come back in January 2022.

Central location, great facilities
Had a great 9 nights in this centrally located villa. With a car, it is ideal to explore the whole island, but without, would be remote as it is some 20 minutes from any beach. Facilities are excellent, with all modern amenities to hand, including a family pool. Residential area, with secure feel, although the local guard dogs can be a pain at unsocialable hours.

Super villa bien située.
La villa est magnifique, très spacieuse. Les chambres sont de belles tailles. Elle est idéalement située à l’intérieur des terres mais a proximité de tout finalement car elle permet de rayonner rapidement au nord comme au sud de l’ile. La piscine est grande et très appréciable Malgré l’absence de climatisation nous n’avons jamais souffert de la chaleur dans la maison ni même notre bébé, les fenêtres ouvertes permettent de faire circuler un courant d’air en continue qui rafraîchis parfaitement Le quarter est très tranquille et plutôt cossu. Une boulangerie est a 2 minutes en voiture Peter et Donna les propriétaires sont très aimables et pleins de bon conseils. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter.

Beautiful, spacious and well equipped villa in a quiet, friendly central location.
We abslutely loved our stay at Golden Palms. This is a lovely, spacious, open-plan villa, with a light, airy feel. Even as a family of 6, we didn't feel overcrowded here. The location was great - being inland gave us a nice insight into local village life, and we weren't more than 30 mins away by car from any destination on the isalnd. The beds were very comfortable, and we all slept well, lulled by the gentle sounds of the caribbean (crickets, or frogs?). The property is secure and very well maintained. There is a lovely pool to relax in after a hard day exploring the island, and if you're an early riser there was a family of green monkeys that regularly wondered into the garden attracted by the mangos. We liked to walk into the village to buy eggs from a neighbour, or use the local shop. My husband enjoyed the odd beer or game of pool at the local bar, everyone was really friendly. The kitchen was very well equipped, with everything you could possibly need to cook well, including a huge fridge freezer for storing food. The addition of good laundry equiptment was also invaluable with four children. We really couldn't fault the villa. The owners (Peter and Donna), provided us with lots of information and were hugely helpful. If we return to Barbados, we would absolutely return to this villa, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

Spacious, well equipped villa with great pool and gorgeous garden
From the moment of booking the villa to the moment of checking out, everything that was within the control of the owners Peter and Donna was managed really efficiently and we were not left disappointed with any aspect of the holiday. Yes, there are dogs that bark uncontrollably at times but it’s infrequent and not incessant noise, and the villa is in land so it’s a fair old schlep to some of the beaches, but that shouldn’t detract from the villa. However, the pool and garden are great for just doing nothing, so after you’ve stocked up at a local supermarket and fish monger, just open a cold one, throw some amazing fresh tuna or flying fish on the bbq and enjoy. We also enjoyed the delights of some Barbadian food, home cooked by chef Pauline; Jason at Bryce rentals provided us with an excellent car rental deal and Juliet was on hand to help us out with any additional requests. All in all a most exceptional introduction to the delights of Barbados.

Fabulous place to stay
Guest house was very clean and spacious could do without the dogs nextdoor waking me up after a late night though Having the pool area was a added bonus very nice and chilled ,my only concern was the top step leading up to pool from patio was abit of a blind spot when stepping down, and as my elderly mother was on holiday with us and stayed a few days the upper stairs in house without a handrail made it very difficult for her to manage without assistance . On the whole as I had viewed house last November it was even better than I remembered absolutely loved it and would definitely stay there again

Staying at Golden Palm St George
Enjoyed staying here immensely. The house was clean, open plan, modern with a neutral colour scheme. My husband & I found Golden Palm to be comfortable, spacious & airy. Golden palms has no air conditioning & no downstairs ceiling or floor fans. However there are a number of windows which let in a lot of light & afforded good views around the property & when the windows are open provide a beautiful through breeze which was cooling & airy. All of the windows throughout the house had mosquito screens fitted. The patio door was not screened but we kept the doors closed when we were existing & entering from the patio & this kept the house bug free. No mosquito bites at while at the house but a couple when we were out & about else where. The pool was wonderful and the garden beautiful but some water proof cushions for the out door chairs and recliners would have been welcomed. That being said, it didn't detract from the pleasure of relaxing in beautiful Barbados. I don't want to spend the whole review going over every feature as what's available is mention in the property over view but just to highlight that Peter & Donna have tried to provide for your needs & comfort to make your holiday experience in their home as comfortable & as positive as possible. We only returned a week ago & already are in talks with them again about booking a repeat visit.

Best holiday ever
The house was really really lovely, we had the best time. The rooms were very clean and the garden was really beautiful. A brilliant idea that beach towels, noodles, beach chairs were provided, we used them every day! Phillip and Juliet were just the loveliest people so helpful, engaging and we all loved them very much. We really enjoyed the 'wildlife' of big toads, fireflies, hummingbirds, cats, monkeys, big snails, barbadian green finches, blackbirds; all an added bonus. We would come back in a heartbeat, thank you so so much

Beautiful Barbados
Arrived at airport in the evening and Jason met us with our car rental. Followed him to the villa and soon after, Juliet arrived. She was so informative and stayed quite a while with us. The villa was great, we had snails, frogs, sparrow and a kitty that visited regularly. It is centrally located and once you get your sense of direction, it is quite easy to travel about. The villa had everything you needed to make yourself at home. One problem, when I would use the frying pan on the stove, the smoke detector would go off. So I would just let my husband sit there with a towel and wave the towel over it. Also, it would be great if one of the lights in the dining room was changed to a ceiling fan and light combo. It would get a little warm in there after cooking. However, we ate outside most of the time. It was so nice to get up and have tea out by the pool and the privacy is terrific. Neighbors are all very nice: however, no one tells their dogs to be quiet, so they bark morning, noon and night. Booking with Peter and Donna was quite easy and we can't thank them enough for renting the villa to us. P.S. There is so much to see and enjoy in Barbados, you just have to go!

About the host

Hosted by Peter and Donna Burke

Host profile image
Hi. We are Peter and Donna and we live in the UK. We have always loved Barbados where our family are from and and have visited the island regularly over the last 40 years.

Why they chose this property

We designed and built The Golden Palm in 2007 as our luxury home away from home and we've lovingly furnished it with art and finishings from both the UK and Barbados.

The villa is beautifully cared for by our lovely housekeeper and guests will find crisp cotton sheets and towels on arrival plus beach towels for use by the pool or beach. If you are looking for a smart, comfortable, non-smoking, family villa, we would be pleased to welcome you.

What makes this property unique

Whilst this property is in the perfect location, away from the hustle and bustle of the town, you can easily access the beach and all other attractions whenever you need to, approx. 15 mins away. Attractions on our doorstep include the famous historic Gun Hill Signal station, with panoramic views of almost the entire island and Orchid World just 8 mins away.

It is authentically Barbadian, wonderfully friendly locals, safe, private and secluded. A great way to spend a relaxing, stress free holiday.
