About this property

'Villa Jarrow',Beach Front, Beautiful Victorian Restored Property

Jarrow, a 19th century coral-stone villa, is nestled on the beautiful south coast of Half Moon Bay, St. Lawrence. Its gentle elevation allows you to sit on the sun deck and watch the fishermen go out to the sea early in the morning , and return with the day's catch -- which you can have freshly prepared in the comfort of your villa or barbecue on the large deck.
The gingerbread-style villa boasts three double bedrooms, two large bathrooms, and spacious mirrored dressing rooms.
From the foyer, living and dining area and well-equipped kitchen, you can enjoy the spectacular views of the sea.
The unique beach at your doorstep. is protected by a reef which makes it excellent for swimming in the day or at night. You might be joined with friendly turtles!
The skylights in the bedrooms and lounge enable you to view the beauty of the moonlight, and to welcome the morning sun.
The southeast breezes of the Caribbean sea continuously waft through the villa, keeping it fresh and cool.
There are ideal swimming and snorkeling conditions for children as the tide is always low in the bay.
We are a 15-minutes drive from the airport, and a one minute stroll across the Beach or along the road to the St. Lawrence Gap where you find , the leading restaurants, nightclubs and Barbados entertainment.
S upermarkets, shops, and golf course are 10 minutes away.
Snorkeling, sailing, scuba diving windsurfing and much more are available in the bay below the Villa. Bring your cameras to capture the Geography of the area
Come See and Believe!!!

Awesome Location

We stayed at Villa Jarrow for 28 days, the location of this property is second to none. The views from sunrise to sunset are breathtaking. Very close to the Gap restaurants and nightlife as well as grocery shopping and multiple beaches. With direct access to the calm waters of the bay protected by a reef we found no need to travel far. Our host provided exceptional attention we will definitely be returning. It was the best location we have ever stayed at near the gap. Highly recommend.

Perfect introduction to Barbados

Lovely traditional beachfront house with gorgeous views, fully equipped kitchen, and three air-conditioned bedrooms. You could walk out directly into the water from the porch an additional benefit, which was not expected is the proximity to a huge number of fine restaurants with all types of cuisine.. And importantly, a car was not a problem as there was a small parking place directly across the street from the house.

Location, location, location!!!! Being on the water like this was fantastic. I could have just camped on that deck. Loud music was not for one member of our family but it did not bother the others. Felt safe. Very responsive host and staff! Charming

Charming restored historic home on the ocean

This is a charming, clean comfortable home located at the entrance to St. Lawrence Gap. Although the front of the home is located on a busy street as soon as you enter and close the gate the view is stunning and the home is your own little oasis. And who can resist being able to walk down a small flight of stairs to dive into the ocean and snorkel, swim with turtles or just float. There are great beaches within walking distance as well. In fact mostly everything is in walking distance - dining, shopping etc. Everything you need is in the house and the back porch overlooking the ocean is where you will spend most of your time whether in the sun or shade. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here with a welcoming host and housekeeper and a view and water access hard to pass up. It’s also a central location from which to explore the island further if you have a car and only 15 minutes from the airport. It can get noisy later in the evening with music, but we got use to it quickly and it did not detract from the overall experience. Well worth a stay.

Good Location / Beautiful Home

Our stayed at Villa Jarrow was perfect. It was exactly what we expected based on photos. The home was comfortable and we felt safe. The private beach access and the sound of the waves created a very zen and relaxing atmosphere which we so needed. Property is in a good location - access to restaurants, bars, grocery store, and main airport. Looking forward to staying again.

Cant wait to come back

We wanted a private on the beach setting where the waves and sounds of the ocean were present and not just a high rise resort this time. That paired with the Primo restaurant next door and the views from there is just heaven. Carlisle Bay is10/15 away and I would recommend if looking for the same ocean experience.

Gap gem

Tim is an amazing host. He accommodated us in every way possible which made our stay very enjoyable. Having morning coffee on the deck overlooking the bay was our favorite part. Perfect location for walking to restaurants/stores and watching the sunsets. Make sure you get in touch with his buddy Mike who will be your personal ambassador for anything and everything!

Awesome Villa with Beautiful View

Our family really enjoyed Villa Jarrow! It is beautifully decorated, well-furnished, very close to many good restaurants and right on the clear turquoise water beach! We loved our mornings there!! Coffee and breakfast on the porch, while sometimes watching the fisherman bring in a catch. We had plenty of room and a well-equipped kitchen. AC in bedrooms is a good plus. Roseanne, the housekeeper, does a stellar job!! And Timothy Boyce is a very good host! we think anyone would enjoy themselves here.

Relaxing Stay in The Gap

Beautiful views in a good location, close to restaurants and a hop skip and a jump from the Gap. Although many thins closed due to COVID 19 we enjoyed that it was probably quieter than usual and loved the sound of the ocean right beneath us. We did not get in the water here because it was pretty rough during our stay die to Tropical storms. I could see where during the calm, it could be quite noce to swim out to the reefs. I would def come back ot his location.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BEAUTIFUL VILLA IN THE SEA!

We stayed at Villa Jarrow for 2 weeks October 2010, and loved it! Mixed Business with Pleasure and were pleasantly surprised value for dollar! The 40 Foot deck is literally in the Sea, and the view in a sheltered bay at night is awesome, yes, the gap can be active/restaurants/bars/shopping but, that is the charm of the place. The villa had all you need a home away from home, and safe swimming day or night. We have already booked again in Feb.2011...and are bringing our Friends from Canada...They are so excited..Thank-you Villa Jarrow, can't wait to return to the Gem of the Caribbean.

A little bit of Paradise

Walking in the front gate, with a straight view of that gorgeous aqua blue water will be imprinted in my mind forever. Waking up to the sound of the ocean was like a dream! Amazing to have a little villa all to ourselves with beach access and walking distance to so many restaurants and bars. There were four of us, and it was just the right amount of space. The bedrooms are air conditioned , but the living spaces are not so keep that in mind! We left everything open and had nice breezes blowing through the house most times, and there are fans. We had terrific weather, and met some terrific people. Villa Jarrow will always have a special place in our hearts and minds!

I am not sure words will be able to describe this wonderful place! Villa Jarrow is a piece of heaven

My experience at Villa Jarrow was amazing. Pictures cannot describe what you will experience while you are staying at the villa! Beautiful deck. Beautiful living space...beautiful everything. Truly a little piece of perfection on the island. You are near several shops and night life. Tim is an incredible host! He met us at the villa and gave us a personal tour and brought mangos from his tree!! He called to make sure we were getting around ok and if we needed anything. The personal touch of renting this space is invaluable! Tim...we will be back! Incredible!

Why they chose this property

Let our Previous guest answer this question:
2) The best vacation spot on the island! Left on 04/17/2014 for a stay in March 2014. This was our second time spending our vacation at Villa Jarrow and we could not have asked for anything more. The location, view and accommodations were just perfect. We saw many people walking by on the beach, looking at us with envy as we lounged or barbecued on the front balcony overlooking the ocean. In addition to the Villa being a great place to stay, the water out front was perfect for swimming. Clear blue and calm, with beautiful sand bars that we could walk or swim out to. We even saw a sea turtle swimming through the water on many of the days we sat out front.

The location was the best! Despite driving around the whole island, and visiting several other parishes and beaches, we came to the conclusion that we still thought ours was the best of the bunch! We would definitely return again and have recommended Villa Jarrow to many of our friends already. Timothy was the best - he called to check in on us several times during the week always jolly and willing to help us out with any inquiries we had! He even drove us to the grocery store on the first day so we could stock up our kitchen for the week! Thanks Timothy for making our stay as amazing as it was!

What makes this property unique

This Property was built in Barbados a business man from the Industrial Coal Mining Town of Jarrow on the River Tyne in England.

The fishermen catch them fresh off the Reef and fillet them ready for the grill !!! Our guest love this experience!!!
At this location you are within walking distance to all requisites for an enjoyable Holiday. A Taxi or hired car is only necessary if you are going for an Island Tour. You can also swim with the Turtles in the Bay... The patio of the Villa Overlooks the Beach..... The Bay is where you will experience a New Years Eve Fantastic Fireworks display on the Water. This is put on by the businesses in the St. Lawrence Gap.
There are many other activities awaiting our guest. If you enjoy lovely Sunsets, or welcoming the morning Sun, looking across the water to a blue Horizon, Jogging along a wide long beach, snorkeling and being within waklking distance to all night life and the best restaurants on the Island then this Villa is your Home away from Home. Its owner will combine his Resort Experience to create that lasting Vacation experience that you deserve.
