About this property

Built in 2006 this beautiful 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom villa is our family holiday home. Its prime location on the ridge takes advantage of the magnificent uninterrupted views out to sea whilst still being close enough to be within walking distance of the local beach and facilities. The stunning views are beautiful by day and in the evening the outside areas are fabulous for al fresco dining/BBQ or simply sit under the stars with a glass of wine and watch the cruise ships sail off into the distance. Our villa combines the luxury of Barbados with the comforts of home! A huge wooden deck leads from the house to the pool with gardens to all sides. The lounge area is split level with comfy sofas, armchairs and reading sofa. The entrance to the house has its own covered verandah for escaping the sun. The villa has TV, Bose Bluetooth speaker and a large stock of games and a small library. WIFI is available throughout the property and out on the deck/ pool area. Local telephone calls are free.

Having spent several months a year in Barbados over the last decade I have acquired great knowledge (and contacts) on the Island. Indeed I have written several features for UK magazines (e.g. Rare, Place in the Sun) about the attractions on the Island. I can arrange almost anything for our guests from a complete holiday itinerary, car hire, restaurant reservations, boat trips to taxis and florists! We want you to enjoy our home and this beautiful Island as much as we do!

Whilst a car is not essential it is recommended if you wish to take advantage of what Barbados has to offer and the villa has 2 private parking spaces.

Our housekeeper is a wonderful local lady with a vast array of knowledge and information and included in the rental rates she will visit twice weekly to clean the house, change the beds/towels and generally just ensure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. Guests who require the housekeeper on a more frequent basis will pay her direct for additional days.

Our gardener and pool guy attend weekly.

Fantastic stay at this property!

We had a most wonderful vacation at this beautiful home. Each of the three bedrooms has its own en suite bathroom, which was a huge plus for our group of six. The location is very central with access to beaches two minutes away, the views from the pool deck are spectacular, the kitchen is very well equipped too. We had a very special stay here and thank you for sharing your home with us!

Family memorial

This was a trip to memorialize my in-laws. They wanted the family to travel to Barbados together after their passing. In spite of the sad circumstances we had a great time. The house is beautiful. Barbados is not commercialized and the people are great. Very relaxing and fun.

Barbados Bliss

Seriously one of the most incredible vacations of my life, especially thanks to Barbara's hospitality and kindness. The house was incredible, and perfect for our group. We loved everything, right down to the towels and linens. Foremost we loved the walking distance to the beach and a invigorating infinity pool. Thank you, and we can't wait to return.

Perfect!

We stayed here with a group of friends to celebrate my fiance's birthday and it could not have been better - such a wonderful home and wonderful host. The location is great, close to hotels, cabs, restaurants and a beautiful beach. The house has everything you need, plus a spectacular view. The host and housekeeper were extremely helpful, informative and communicative. Highly recommend staying here!

Amazing

Our trip to Barbados was way more than we ever expected! The house was perfect. We had three couples with ample space, the views of the ocean were stunning and it was set in a peaceful neighborhood. The house manager was easily accessible throughout our stay. The only downfall of the house is location if you mind driving 30 minutes to get to different beaches/restaurants. We rented a car and really enjoyed our adventures driving around the island so it was perfect for us!!

Easter in Barbados

All the family had a great time in Barbados. This house is lovely in everyway. We spent a lot of time on the deck, enjoying the pool and beautiful views. Home is clean and comfortable and has all the amenities you need to enjoy your vacation. We did have a little difficulty locating the home so make sure you get clear directions from Barbara if you have not stayed before! We wouldlove to return! Thankyou Barbara.

A perfect vacation!

My vacation with friends in Barbados was absolutely amazing and our stay here was a huge reason why it was the perfect trip. The house was very clean, nicely decorated, and fully stocked with everything needed to relax, swim, enjoy home cooked meals, and spend days at the beach and sightsee. Friendly neighbors and a beautiful beach are within walking distance (Rico’s and Ju Ju’s are a must). The grocery store, several wonderful restaurants, shopping, etc. are all conveniently located and just a short car ride away. To really see all the island has to offer (highly recommend) renting a car is a must! Thank you so much to Barbara, the property owner, for sharing your home and making check in/out and everything about the house amazing. And thank you Sylvia, the housekeeper, for being there to greet us when we arrived and helping us feel even more at home with your hospitality and helpfulness.

Stunning Setting, Beautiful Accommodation.

From the moment we made contact with owner, Barbara, we really felt that we had made a great choice on our holiday accommodation. She has been such a great help in terms of individual advice on car hire, restaurants, places to see and visit – she has a wealth of knowledge about the house and the locality. Any requests for information and clarification on detail were responded to promptly and accurately. All that she described, and all that the website promotes didn’t really do justice to this lovely home! When my wife stepped over the threshold she gasped and it even left my daughter speechless – some feat! It just feels so luxurious – from the furniture and fittings, the cleanliness, the kitchen facilities and of course not forgetting the very welcome ‘welcome pack’. Step through the lounge and through the fantastic outdoor seating and dining area and you’re confronted with a view to die for. I spent many hours sitting and soaking up the ever-changing view of the Caribbean, and looked forward to what tonight’s sunset would have in store for us. The master bedroom is a particularly spectacular feature of the house - 'facetiming' with less fortunate family members back home in UK left them green with envy! Housekeeper Sylvia is a god-send and another great source of local knowledge – a real treasure – and nothing was too much trouble; she kept the house looking immaculate throughout our stay. The location is superb, so quiet and yet easy to find and so close to the beautiful beach and all that it presents. Local beaches were really quiet for our July/August stay and the sea was so calm and clear. The island is so beautiful and the people so friendly and relaxed – Store House Gap made sure that we had a great holiday – no stress, no hassle and no excuse for not kicking back and relaxing for the duration. We’ll be back.

Family Vacation

The house was beautiful and comfortable. We had some difficulty in finding the house with the address provided but we did eventually get there. If a landmark such as the LoneStar restaurant was provided this came up easily on Google maps. Simple directions to the house from there would have made it a lot less stressful in finding the house. We were a family of 8 with 2 small children - they loved the pool and everyone was very pleased with the accommodations. Sylvia was at the house waiting for us when we arrived and was very welcoming. The location was great - near many nice upscale restaurants and the beach was right down the hill from the house. I would recommend water shoes since there are lots of rocks in the water and a little tough on small feet. Overall this was a memorable vacation and thank you to Barbara for the use of her lovely home.

Oasis of tranquility

Fabulous house with incredible hillside view over the sea. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Rooms all very spacious and great ensuite to each room. Housekeeper really helpful. House has generous proportions with covered decking, first floor veranda and large patio leading to the pool. Nestled in a residential area that proved tricky to find initially in the dark but seeing the monkeys playing in the morning at the bottom of the garden was wonderful. Easy access to Bridgetown, Holetown and Speightstown via local bus.

Superb Home

We booked the house for 10 days and absolutely loved it. We were 4 couples vacationing together and we loved the fact that we all had our own bedroom and our own bathroom. The pool area was magnificent and we didn't spend a minute inside except to cook and sleep. Sylvia was a fabulous resource with respect to the area and the house was exactly as portrayed on the website. Would highly recommend this property.

Great house in a terrific location with a very helpful owner and housekeeper

Spent one week over New Year here with my husband and adult children. Five of us had a super time. The combination of British owner Barbara and her lovely housekeeper Sylvia and a lovely four bedroom four bath home with pool and stunning views. This was a super great vacation. Barbara helped us secure great reservations at top restaurants and Sylvia cooked up a fabulous meal. The Santi beach club was a great spot to hang out. The house was so comfortable and air conditioning and fans worked really well when needed. Clean comfortable and relaxing with everything you need including a well outfitted kitchen. Just can't say enough praise about this entire experience. Thank you Barbara!!

It doesn't get much better than this...

We have just returned from a glorious stay at this Villa and I cannot recommend the property anymore if I tried. It is such a beautiful house in a fantastic location in paradise. The house was very clean and looked after by the lovely Sylvia (the housekeeper) during our stay. There really was every little essential and then a lot of luxuries available to use in the house, inflatables for the pool, lots of card and board games for evenings entertainment, books and DVD's, a super blender for mixing up my favourite Pina Colada's and then towels, beach towels, cool bags, hair dryers & straighteners...the list is literally endless. The house is large and spacious, the air conditioning throughout was a real relief from the tropical heat and the pool was really fabulous. The house is a real family favourite and my Parents and Sister (and her family) have both been before and return time and time again. It was our first trip and I hope we can return again soon. Thank you Barbara for allowing us to experience the beautiful island of Barbados from your fabulous house. 100% recommended x

Simply amazing

Me and my family spent two weeks (end of April/beginning of May 2015) in this absolutely stunning villa. Although this review is very delayed (sorry Barbara!), I really would like to share some words about this magnificent house. Our stay was... fantastic!!! The house is truly amazing and the standard is very high. Our whole family was truly impressed by the house and everything it had to offer. The view was amazing, the rooms where wonderful and the location could not be any better. Only 10 minutes walk to the beach (perhaps 15 minutes back to the house though, due to the quite steep uphill road to the house :) Also, the housekeeper Sylvia was extremely helpful and sweet. I truly have no complaints what so ever. Thank you so much Barbara! We'll be back! :)

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Snaith

I pride myself on not just renting out our home to guests but offering them a bespoke service which should enable them to enjoy the house and their holiday to the full. Regular email/text communication gives the guest peace of mind that when they arrive hot and tired there are no nasty surprises awaiting them.
I am a self confessed perfectionist and love nothing better than organising and planning to make sure I offer my guests a first class service.

Why they chose this property

The minute you peer through the front door and see the view to the Caribbean you will know why we bought this house.
All guests receive a brochure when booking which explains the history behind how and why we bought No1 and our relationship with the Island. Google 'Barbara Snaith - A place in the sun' and read my article for the magazine explaining why we left a gated community home to buy this one!

What makes this property unique

The luxury of Barbados with all the comforts of home.
Dining out and lazing on the beach are a great way to enjoy Barbados but dining out on your own verandah and lying by your own pool whilst soaking in our fantastic view are the best way to enjoy Barbados. Thats what No1 is ... not a holiday let but your own home for the duration of your stay. Careful planning and communication with my guests means the holiday is tailored to their specific needs whether I am booking the best waterside table at a top class restaurant for a honeymoon couple, arranging baby equipment for families or that special private catamaran cruise for a 60th birthday celebration. I want for my guests what I want myself - a relaxing enjoyable vacation which will create memories that last a lifetime.
