The St James Parish region
Barbados has something to please everyone. It boasts over 70 miles of glorious, palm fringed, white sand beaches and warm clear waters. The Falls is located in the heart of the Platinum West Coast, south of Holetown & Sunset Crest and just a few minutes away from one of the best bays on the island -Sandy Lane.
The parish of Saint James ("St. James") is an area located in the western part of the country of Barbados. Increasingly St. James is being known as the playground of the rich and famous, and haven for sun-starved tourists.
The closest shops are a 5 minute walk away at Sunset Crest including Bank, doctors surgery and cafe. Holetown is 15 mins walk away and includes supermarket, restaurants and Duty free shopping at Limegrove with brands such as Louis Vuiton, Ralph Lauren, Armani, Cartier, Gucci and many more. Bridgetown is 15 mins by car.
The property is ideally located for golf with Sandy Lane Golf and Country Club and its three courses less than 2 minutes away. Further courses include Royal Barbados Golf Club, Rockley Golf Club and Royal Westmoreland. All these courses are less than 30 minutes drive away.
Water sports are available at the nearby Paynes Bay. At night there is a wide range of local restaurants from Bajan through to famous gourmet restaurants.”Additionally diving and surfing schools, zip wiring, Harrisions caves, sugar planatation houses are all in the locality.
The parish also has great historic significance, as it was here that the first British settlers landed in 1625. Under the authority of King James, the British claimed Barbados upon landing in St. James' present-day city of Holetown (formerly Jamestown, named after the King himself), this settlement turned Barbados into what would later be known as "Little England".
Though a haven for tourists and foreign expatriates, St. James is far from exclusive. As one of the bigger parishes, it is home to over 20,000 nationals strewn across its many districts, across various social strata. The parish is home to the prestigious Queen's College, one of the foremost schools not only in Barbados, but the Caribbean, founded over a century ago by a British plantation owner by the name of Col. Henry Drax. At its most rural, the parish's many villages (such as the seafront "Fitts Village") are abuzz with activity, near-familial camaraderie, and an active social atmosphere.

The house is in a quiet location but close to beaches, buses and Holetown. We hired a car for a few days but enjoyed walking to the beach and into Holetown in the evenings and catching the bus at... more |

We had a fabulous time at No.15 The Falls. I was really happy with the super king size bed which was very comfortable and the black out curtains. The bedroom was large and spacious and sunny. Very comfortable house with all the facilities we needed including a bbq. The location was also fantastic thirty second walk to the main road where you could easily pick up a bus or walk to Holetown in 15 minutes. The house keepers Ros and Sandra were very welcoming and helpful. It was also great to have Barbara on the end of the phone to help with any problems or queries we had. I loved it and am hoping to go back soon! |

We arrived on a late flight and were met by the a very pleasant house advisor. She walked us through the property and familiarised us with the home and property. It is a very well furnished home with all the conveniences of home. Well situated just behind Sandy Lane. We enjoy both Sandy lane beach and Paynes bay beach, which are very close with a public access between the two beaches within walking distance and one or two minutes by car. A thoroughly great stay. |

"Just a quick note to thank you for the loan of your amazing property in Barbados, having just returned from the airport I am happy to report that the accommodation helped make our stay in Barbados very special and we are likely to return in the near future." Paul Fracknell January 2011.
"Just wanted to say that my daughter Jessica and I had a great time in Barbados and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your Town home (The Falls)". Paul September 2009.
"Just to let you know we had a fab time at your villa, its beautiful and we will be booking again!" Jane Dowler January 2009.
"As this was our 1st time in Barbados we found the location ideal. It is only a few minutes to Sandy Lane and Paynes Bay beaches and is ideally located to explore the rest of the island. We were greeted on arrival by Sandra who made us feel very welcome. The Townhouse is quiet and peaceful but ideally located on the West coast for the beaches, restaurants and happy hours! We made good use of the pool and were able to enjoy quiet evening meals in the rear garden. Despite being new the house has a real Caribbean flavour and is furnished to a very high standard, was spotless and had everything we needed. The 24 hour security gave us peace of mind. We had a fabulous time and would definitely recommend this house to anyone planning a stay in Barbados. We would be more than happy to stay again!" Rosie Metcalf April 2009.
"The four of us had a dream holiday in Barbados. We could not have found a better place to stay. We mixed typical beach holidaying with golf and went to some fabulous local restaurants as well as eating in on a couple of occasions. The Falls is right next to the Sandy Lane Estate and means that you get the location without the cost. It is very quiet and relaxing but very handy to get to beaches, shops and the nightlife in Holetown. The house is superbly equipped and is furnished in authentic Caribbean with a monkey theme! I would definitely recommend it." Pete and Rosie Stanley May 2010
"The house was better than advertised! It is fully equipped and everything has been thought of from the smooth booking, the “meet and greet” through to the crockery, glasses, laundry, cooking utensils and juicer for those early evening cocktails! All has been tastefully thought out.
There was also maps, books on the island and plenty of guides. Sandra is a very accommodating Housekeeper, nothing was too much trouble. The quietness of the area provides tranquillity but within 5 minutes you can be in the heart of Holetown and dancing in the piano bar! In the small development, the pool area and pool house are a welcoming retreat after a day out, quite often you have the pool to yourself!" Cathy and Paul O’Reilly July 2009
