About this property

Stunning ocean-view luxury villa for island getaways and idyllic honeymoons

Spring Bay Villa is a charming, contemporary-styled solace, tucked away in the amazing ocean-view setting of Ragged Point on Barbados' rugged south-east coast. On arrival, you are welcomed through its traditional porch entrance, into its classic coral stoned interiors and onto a private pool crowned with tropical garden views on the ground level and gorgeous ocean views on the upper terraces.

With once weekly housekeeper services included (and Optional Chef services available), the villa's luxury amenities and its peaceful setting come together to offer you the blissful, tropical retreat you are seeking.

This 1-bedroom haven is ideal for a couple on their honeymoon or for a quiet get-away. (Please enquire about rates for 2 bedroom occupancy). Wake up to an amazing sunrise best viewed from the villa's upper terrace where you can also top off your day with a rum cocktail on a sultry moon-lit night.

At Spring Bay Villa, you will enjoy weekly Housekeeper services, a Master suite with air conditioning, en-suite "spa-like" bathroom with Jacuzzi and walk-in closet. You can enjoy your meals on the pool terrace or at the airy dining room table adjacent to the inviting living room with a large flat-screen television.

Spring Bay Villa boasts a modern, well-equipped kitchen, a sun-deck with loungers and lovely views of Ragged Point Lighthouse and a Cocktail Balcony which offers up some of the best sunrise and moonlight views on the island.

When it comes to exploring the island, a rental car is strongly recommended as it will allow you to tour the island, spend the day at the amazing Bottom Bay beach and other gorgeous island beaches, pick up groceries, drive to Oistins for the its "not-to-be-missed" grilled fish and generally discover our beautiful island Barbados.

Spring Bay Villa is managed by Melba who has over 20 years' experience in the hospitality, event planning and catering industries. She will help you plan your stay on the island by organizing car rental, excursions, activities and restaurant dining if that is what you desire. If you prefer to do your own thing when the mood takes you, she is just as happy to provide all the recommendations and tips to help you enjoy Barbados your own way. There is also a Handbook that details all you need to know about the villa, the amenities and general information to make your stay an enjoyable one.

If you are celebrating a special occasion, or planning to create one such as getting married or hosting a special event, as an experienced event planner, Melba will be more than happy to assist you with all the arrangements. It could be as simple as a dinner for two prepared by the villa's cook or a local Chef or a lovely evening of wine and canapes shared among friends, we are here to help you celebrate life during your stay at Spring Bay Villa.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Great stay
Spent 16 days at Spring Bay. We had a great time. Melba was very responsive. Very comfortable accommodations. Light house Bistro is a 2 minute walk right up the road but easy to miss. It’s a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood.

A week on Barbados
We spent a very nice week there. Very quiet area, you can relax. A very good communication with the landlady. We had everything we needed in the house. A car is necessary. Of course, some things or pieces of furniture are a bit worn out, but this is due to the Caribbean climate. It was perfect for us.

Cozy and romantic
My new wife and I booked this home for our honeymoon, and we could not have picked a better place. A romantic and secluded getaway for us to relax and really take in the beauty of Barbados. The covered pool was refreshing and relaxing. The sundecks have a view of the ocean on both sides of the home. The highlight was the 2 minute walk to the lighthouse clif, waking up to watch the sunrise was a great way to start our day. Also, A short drive to cranes beach and restaurants. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recomend

Paradise in St. Philip!
Just returned from a wonderful vacation with my husband in Barbados. We rented the Spring Bay Villa for a week and we're so glad we did! Melba was so sweet to help me plan a surprise for my husband's 50th Birthday, by baking him a delicious chocolate cake and boy was he surprised! We lounged around Melba's beautiful home taking in the local beauty and beautiful people! You cannot beat the views and tranquility of this location and well appointed home. Thank you Melba for your kindness and responsiveness. It was wonderful to meet you!

Villa Review
Melba is a great host and was very responsive to all our requests and concerns. She is very attentive and tried very hard to make our stay enjoyable. Our only complaint was the built-in main oven did not and had not worked for a while. This became problematic when the chef we hired attempted to prepare our dinner. There was a smaller oven also provided (presumably because of the broken built-in oven) and ultimately the chef was able to complete preparation.

Ja und Nein
Die Hausbeschreibung passt nicht zu dem was wir vorgefnden haben. Es hieß - 24 Std. vor einer Neubelegung ist das Haus frei. Check in war 16 Uhr - als wir kamen, waren die Vorgänger Gäste gerade aus dem Haus. Die Reinigungskraft hat sich die größte Mühe gegeben, aber erst gegen 19 Uhr konnten wir die Zimmer belegen. Gebucht und bezahlt hatten wir 2 Schafzimmer - das bedurfte erst einer längeren Rückfrage, da die Besitzerin es nicht mehr wußte. Der angepriesene tropische Garten ist mit nicht mehr benötigten alten Mobiliar vollgestellt. Ein schreckliches Erwachen hatten wir, als wir den Pool benutzen wollten. Darüber geht eine Brücke (wofür - denn rundherum ist viel Platz( Dadurch ist Schwimmen im Pool überhaupt nicht möglich - die Brücke ist so tief, da stößt man mit dem Kopf an. Also Schwimmen ist Fehlanzeige. In der Einweisung hieß es schon, Waschmaschine funktioniert nicht immer - es hat geklappt - leider keine Möglichkeit, Waschpulver dazu im Haus zu erstehen. Wir hatten deutsche Waschtabs mit - ein Glück :-) Denn zwei Sätze Handtücher für eine Woche ist zu wenig bei diesen Temperaturen. Der Fön funktionierte nicht, nach Rücksprache und Erlaubnis haben wir in den verschlossenen Schränken einen Fön gefunden. Am dritten Tag versagte die Spülmaschine - alles musste per Hand gewaschen werden. Die Töpfe und Pfannen sehen optisch sehr gut aus - für einen Gasofen nicht zu gebrauchen. Die Griffe und Stiele werden kochend heißt und braten tut in diesen Geräten nix. Kein Restaurant

Amazing Villa
Really really beautiful Villa that felt very private and perfect for a couple. Clean, lots of plates/cookware to use, plenty of sitting and relaxing locations, and very responsive and nice owner. Short drive to pretty much anywhere on the island. Bedroom has A/C for a comfortable night’s sleep. Couldn’t have been happier with this rental!

Perfect for a romantic getaway!
Where to even begin?! Let’s start with Melba, who went WAY ABOVE and beyond. The communication with her was so helpful in advance and when we arrived. We were there to get married, just the two of us - no big wedding party. Melba helped coordinate with the local officials and a handful of vendors for things like flowers, etc. She really took on the role of “wedding coordinator” voluntarily, and only because she wanted to help make our wedding trip enjoyable. She made it so easy for us to get married there. This villa was exactly what we were looking for. The location was the perfect location for us to have lots of privacy, but an easy drive to surfing on the east coast and scuba on the west coast. We’d highly recommend doing the private chef for a special dinner. He did an amazing job! It was definitely worth it. The villa - it’s just as nice as the pictures. Sometimes it can be hit or miss with things like that, but not this time. It’s very spacious and comfortable. The pool area and rooftop really make this 1B/1B so much bigger. It was so nice to do morning and evening walks to the lighthouse. The views are breathtaking! I didn’t realize from the other reviews that the lighthouse and Ragged Point was such an easy walk. We would highly recommend staying at this villa!

Spring Bay Villa at Ragged Point
We have just enjoyed a very relaxing stay at Spring Bay Villa, everything was as described by Melba, excellant facilities with everything we needed, good locaation on the east coast close to beautiful Bottom Bay and Crane Beach, only thing we could fault was the swimming pool was rather cold at times as it is covered over and does not get heated by the sun. Would stay here again if we return to Barbados.

The host is absolutely fantastic! She made us feel so incredibly welcome. My boyfriend proposed during our stay, and she went out of her way to make the trip special. The villa is peaceful and away from all of the hustle and bustle of the tourist spots but easily accessible with a car. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the culture and people. Her cooking is phenomenal. Accommodations are clean and the host is very organized. We will never forget our experience. Highly recommend.

Amazing dream villa in a secluded part of the island at the east coast of Barbados
We stayed 9 nights at Spring Bay Villa and it was truly a dream vacation! The place is absolutely amazing and charming: wonderful decor, lots of space, all kitchen appliances and tools you need for your stay, two (!) roof deck terraces with views of the close by ocean and lighthouse (Ragged Point) and an absolutely astounding covered patio with a large pool including even a bridge (!) - this is super unique and makes it a very special and romantic place, especially at night with all the string lights that turn the place into a romantic ‘wonderland’! Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by Jackie, a friend of the owner Melba Wood, who welcomed us and showed us around at property. It was great to get some local tips and tricks about the area and Barbados, thank you very much! We usually spent our days out traveling and exploring the island, but we always spent the mornings at the pool and also chilled there when coming back from our trips at night. A very good way to relax and calm down, especially with all the warm lights at the pool and tranquility at this place - or you can look at the millions of stars on the roof-deck and listen to the sound of the ocean... Bottom Bay - one of the most beautiful beaches on the island - is just a 5min drive away and Sam, who has a little shop there, offers amazing, fresh coconuts! Go check it out while there! A general tip: it is highly recommended / indispensable to have a rental car for this location as it is in a very secluded part and area of the island. The next big shopping center (Emerald City) is a 15min drive away but has all the groceries you need for your stay. There are a few restaurants (with the Crane Beach Resort close by) and small rum shacks close by, but most of the restaurants are located either on the south (don’t miss the Oistins Fry Market - especially at Friday night!) or west coast. We really loved Spring Bay Villa and would always recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing property who wants to stay in a more quiet and secluded part of the island (compared to the south/west coasts). I hope we can be back at one point! THANK YOU Melba and Jackie for this wonderful stay!

The villa is situated in the parish of St Philip which is about 19km from Bridgetown. It is located in a beautiful and tranquil coastal setting maximising the enjoyment of the local culture and scenery. Due to its location - and as noted on the website - you may want to hire a car to get around the island. We used a local taxi for transport around the island but, in hind sight, a hire car would have allowed us greater access to visit more of the island. If eating out is a priority, there were no local restaurants open in the vicinity during our stay, so either taxi or a hire car would be required for eating out. However, the kitchen facilities within the villa were outstanding with everything you require on hand. There is a small mini-mart within walking distance to get the basics. Melba (villa manager/owner) met us on arrival and gave us a great tour of the villa to show all the facilities. Melba helped us to book some excursions and was always available to give us advice on places to go and expected transport costs (taxi fares). The villa itself is fantastic! The pool is great as are the front and rear balconies. The locals (and everyone we met!) were friendly and always happy to give you information about the island and show you places to go. We had a fantastic honeymoon and we would highly recommend this villa (and Melba!) for anyone looking for a more peaceful, tranquil, relaxing holiday away from the hub-bub of the more commercially tourist areas.

Beautiful property in the quiet part of the island
We had a wonderful trip to Barbados and enjoyed staying in this lovely home! It’s in the quiet part of the island (not close to restaurants or supermarkets), but we had a rental car, so we were able to easily get around to explore sites and chase waves for surfing. The house was fully stocked and had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing vacation. Thank you Melba!

Amazing villa in a stunning location.
What a fabulous villa, we could have not wished for more. The villa is beautifully presented and tastefully decorated. The kitchen in particular is huge and has so much equipment. The pretty sun terraces are so well positioned to watch the sunrise and gaze across the ocean. The jewel in the crown is the pool area which is lovely in the evening with its fairy lights and the little bridge. Melba is a welcoming and wonderful host and kept us updated on the storm situation during our stay as well as giving us a beautiful cake upon our departure. The villas location makes it perfect to tour the island independently and it is also relatively near to Emerald City for purchasing provisions. The East Point Bar and Grill a few metres away does brilliant Saturday barbecue and Sunday Bajan buffet lunches. Overall a fantastic place to stay on a very beautiful island. Thank you Melba.

Clean, fresh, elegant, hideaway in Barbados
My girlfriend and I enjoyed our vacation. The beach views were great and just a short walk away (maybe 200 meters). Neighbors in the area were friendly and welcoming during our morning walks. At night enjoy the cool breeze from the ocean on the upper level while watching the moon. During the hot peak hours cool off in the pool to take a break from the Barbados heat. We rented a car and toured the island for several days never a dull moment. This was our 1st and most enjoyable visit to Barbados. The house was large, well equipped, clean and Melba was always available to make sure our stay was worry-free. We would highly recommend this property to any one seeking a relaxing, enjoyable vacation. Looking forward to our next trip to purchase some art from local artist and see more of BARBADOS!

About the host

Hosted by Melba Wood

Host profile image
I am Melba Wood and my passion lies in the hospitality industry and all its facets. I love to cook, entertain and to share life's simple, precious moments with family and friends.
My entire working life has been meeting and working with people from all over the world. I have worked as a Tour Representative for German, French and British Tour Operators and have met some wonderful people over the years. I later evolved into wedding and event planning, catering and cake baking and decorating.

Spring Bay Villa spent its first 5 years almost exclusively on the Homeaway rental market from 2008 to 2013 and ranked high with renter reviews. (Potential renters can request copies of these reviews since they are not on the Listing due to obvious datedness). It is back on the market now and I am happy to welcome you and all future tenants to your home away from home.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful villa came about as a result of a recurrent dream of the Lighthouse being seen from a lounge chair in a distance. Some time afterward, I saw an ad for land lots being sold near the Lighthouse and right there is where my dream started to take shape.

I was born and grew up in the East in St Philip so this part of Barbados is very dear to me. Spring Bay Villa is named after the small, secluded pink sand beach which sits below the cliff off the Ragged Point Lighthouse. (Unfortunately, the very limited access to Spring Bay is very dangerous).

Spring Bay Villa is truly a labour of love since I designed it and was intimately involved with its construction and interior design as well. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy the peacefulness of the Ragged Point area, the beautiful ocean views and you will benefit from the fresh, therapeutic breezes off the Atlantic ocean. I hope that this, combined with the comfort of Spring Bay Villa and the charm of Barbados and its people, will make for a truly wonderful stay on our island home.
