The St Philip Parish region

Situated east of the windward isles, Barbados is an enchanting coral stone island about 26 miles long by 14 miles wide with a population of about 250,000. The airport is situated approximately 15 minutes away and the capital, Bridgetown, around 30 minutes from our villa.

Bottom Bay Beach is simply breathtaking. It is one of the most photographed beaches in the Caribbean, yet is little known and often nearly deserted. Truly a beautiful hideaway.

Bottom Bay area

Our villa is located on the southeastern coast of the island and is a short stroll from the breathtaking Bottom Bay Beach, one of the most picturesque beaches in the world. There are several other stunning beaches within the immediate area including the famous beaches at The Crane and Sam Lords Castle within 5 minute drives, and lesser known secluded beaches at Cave Bay and Merrick's Cove within easy walking distance.

How to get there

Botttom Bay is an easy 15 minute drive from airport. Southern car rentals offers good deals including a 10% discount if you mention Hummingbird House or book on the internet. They (as well as many other auto rental firms) will deliver rental cars to the villa as a convenience. Taxis are also readily available from the airport.

Guestbook for The Hummingbird Villa

"We recently returned from a months stay at Hummingbird House. The villa is in a perfect location for peace quiet and tranquility.The description of the villa is very accurate. It is very clean and well-maintained. The villa has everything and more you could possibly want to make you feel at home. Jan and John the property managers are very friendly and make you feel very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Nightlife and restaurants are just a short car journey away. This was our 4th visit to Barbados and this has been the best accommodation we have stayed in. We look forward to returning to Barbados again and hope Hummingbird House is available."

"This was our first trip to Barbados and our first island vacation, and Hummingbird House provided the perfect setting for our trip. We went in late September and the weather was fantastic. The villa is modern, clean and beautiful, and the property managers are friendly and accessible. The private pool is a wonderful addition to the house, so much so that we spent the majority of our time in or near the water. The kitchen was perfect for preparing the bulk of our meals (there is a large grocery a short drive from the villa), but a variety of nice restaurants are within driving range. . We look forward to many more vacations in Barbados and Hummingbird House is our only choice for accommodations."

"My family spent the Christmas and New Year here and had a great time. We had a 4 year old with us and the house was ideal, plenty of enclosed space for her to run around and plenty of shade when it got too hot. It's a very short walk to a very quiet beach and because of the breeze from the ocean there's no mosquitoes! (Something we were all delighted about!). The house is very clean and extremely well kept and practical. The kitchen is fully equipped so we were able to do a lot of cooking at home, the supermarket is about a 10 minute drive away. It's very peaceful at night which we much preferred to the rowdiness of the west coast, and it's a short drive - about 20 minutes or so - to the restaurants and bars on the south coast. Maurice made the whole experience very easy and we would highly recommend it to people seeking a relaxing holiday destination."

"What a delightful place Hummingbird is to stay at. The villa is clean, well-equipped with furnishings that are in excellent condition, which is not always the case with some places, and a very good place for four adults and one 2 year old boy. Having the pool was fabulous so that we could have a quick dip and be able to cool off. Having the shower area outside was a great benefit for keeping the pool clean so that we could remove sand from our feet before entering the pool. The washer and drier were a real asset for doing the laundry.
The villa was well equipped with dishes, cutlery and pots and pans etc. The internet worked well and the TV had a large variety of stations to watch and be able to get a variety of news stations from US, British and Canadian news. It gives one a better balance of what is happening on the world scene.
Jan and John, the local couple responsible for the property and greeting those who stay at the villa, are a delightful couple. They were non intrusive while at the same time available when needed. They had good suggestions and gave a good introduction to the villa. They certainly look after the villa well and supervise the gardener etc.
The location on the island is far more private and hence less busy than the Bridgetown side. Bottom Bay beach a short walk away was a lovely quiet and almost private beach which helped to heighten the experience. The ocean at that point is not easy to swim in because of the strength of the waves but none of us were avid swimmers but had fun walking in the waves and "battling" their strength!! It is a lovely beach to sunbathe on.
Your suggestion of renting a car at the airport for the time we were there was a good one. It allowed us to tour the island for the scenic beauty especially on the Atlantic side and to visit Nicholas Abby and other such places such as the wildlife zoo and Ocean Park with the grandson."
Maurice, the owner was a very helpful person to work with to make our stay comfortable and went out of his way to accommodate the fact that we had a two year old child with us. Thanks to Maurice from five contended occupants from Canada."

"On entering the quiet street we were greeted by John, our property manager. He was extremely friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home immediately.He started by giving us a quick tour of the house. It more than lived up to the description we were given before we went and was very clean and tidy. Two Good sized bathrooms with showers, Three large bedrooms, all air conditioned and a large lounge with comfortable seating, cable television and DVD player. and the kitchen was full of all of the amenities you would expect to find at home including a large fridge freezer with ice and water which is essential with the temperature in Barbados.
Outside the property in the back garden there is a small pool, sun loungers and a table and chairs where we ate breakfast every day. The ocean view from the garden is really beautiful and made for a fabulous way to start each day.Early on our first morning in the villa we walked down to Bottom Bay beach which was just a couple of hundred yards away. The beach was absolutely stunning and we were the only visitors so we had it all to ourselves. After some exploring we found a coconut beneath one of the many palm trees and took it back to the villa and ate it for breakfast.
After a quiet first evening in on the first night and a fresh coconut breakfast we rang a rental company and they dropped a rental Jeep off at the villa at lunchtime. Due to the location of the villa we definitely suggest hiring a car of some description to ferry you about the island to the hundreds of sights and fabulous restaurants you will need to go to during your stay. We would especially recommend paying a visit to Lobster Alive, David's Place and L'Azure at the Crane which were our personal favourite restaurants although we ate out at least once and usually twice every day and literally every single meal was fabulous.
We should also mention that the main reason we enjoyed the whole experience was the people we met whilst we were there. John who greeted us when we arrived and made sure we had anything we needed all week was the benchmark for the people in Barbados as a whole.
Everyone we met would offer to help you out to get where you were going or to find what you were looking for. We have never been anywhere in the world where the people are so accommodating and for this reason we absolutely have to go back. When we do, this is the place will be staying, providing it isn't fully booked as I absolutely expect it will!"
