About the home

This fabulous beachfront penthouse is situated on the edge of historic Speightstown, which was once the main port of Barbados. This is the Barbados of old - Caribbean colour and life is all around you. There is a small road that runs between the penthouse and a beautiful powdery white sand beach. This is the old coastal road and leads you directly into Speightstown. This beach is ideal for swimming, snorkelling etc. , and 2 minute stroll northwards brings you to Heywood beach which stretches for approximately 1 mile.

This is an idyllic romantic get away. Sip a refreshing drink on the penthouse terrace, whilst the cooling Caribbean breezes soothe your soul, and gaze over the aquamarine Caribbean Sea .

Inside the penthouse is cool and airy; marble floors and high cathedral ceilings with air conditioning in both bedrooms, it makes for the ideal retreat from the hot Caribbean sun. Tasteful, tropical furnishings complete the feel.

Barbados is famous for it's incredible sunsets and the view from the penthouse terrace is stunning. Should you wish to stroll into Speightstown it's centre lies but 2/3 minutes away, here you will find all that you need to complete your stay. All in all the perfect self-catering, beachfront, retreat.

The St Peter Parish region

No matter what your tastes there is something for everyone on the beautiful island of Barbados. It's very easy to get around independently, either on public transport (a trip on a reggae bus is an absolute must), or if you decide to hire a car. Whatever, there is so much to see and do that one visit to Barbados will not be enough.

There are lots of historic sights, preserved sugar plantations and colonial buildings, nature areas, such as Animal Flower Cave, the amazing Harrison's Cave, beautiful stunning scenery along the rugged East Coast and of course the fabulous white sandy beaches that Barbados is famous for.

If you decide not to hire a car - a trip on a local reggae bus will cost you $1.50 bds. (around 70p) for any length of journey - try it just for the experience.

The Speightstown area

The property is located on the edge of historic Speightstown. During the week you can see Caribbean life as it has been for hundreds of years, the fishermen bringing in the days catch, to be sold later at Speightstown fish market, the colourfully dressed ladies selling exotic fresh fruit and vegetables at the side of the main street, the general hustle and bustle of a busy Caribbean town.

All amenities are within a 2/3 minute walk, including: banks, supermarkets, shops, restaurants, bars, internet access etc. The local pub 'The Fisherman's Pub' has live music every Wednesday, where a cool, Bank's beer awaits.

The area is blessed with a beautiful white sandy beach, known as Heywoods, some of the best swimming, diving (including night dives with the fabulous Reefers and Wreckers) and snorkeling in the area.

Nearby Holetown with it's many shops and restaurants is located just a 15 minute drive away. Many popular sights are within easy reach including, the rugged and breathtaking east coast, a surfers paradise. In short something for everyone.

Local Activities: Diving, surfing, swimming, walking, sailing, cycling, fishing, horse riding, golf, wind-surfing, water skiing

“Equisite & Luxurious Accomodation with stylish details” From the moment we booked the appartment Trisha was a wealth of information and was so very patient with all our questions. The video does not do the apartment justice - Trisha's personal and very stylish touches in the apartment makes it a 5* luxury place to stay. Spacious and very private with a fantastic beach just across the road. One thing to note if you book in September quite a few places are closed as it is considered off season! We hired a car (again, Trisha came to our aid with providing a great car hire company!) and would recommend doing so as there is so much to see. If you are looking for luxury self catering option on the west coast of Barbados this should be your first choice!!

We had an amazing time, so much so that we are already making plans to return next Spring. The penthouse is lovely right on the beach. Speightstown is wonderful can't wait to get back there!

This was our first time in Barbados, and our priority was for some great diving.
Luckily for us there was a dive shop no more than 1 minutes walk from the beautiful apartment, we dived with this great set up ´´Reefers and Wreckers´´ several times during our stay - although I have to admit it was difficult to draw us away from the fab accommodation and the amazing view!!!
Hope to be back soon.

My wife and I are frequent visitors to Barbados, and have a particular soft spot for Speightstown.
This was our first tiime in this particular property and will definately be repeating the experience.
What a lovely, relaxing time we had, Sonja the housekeeper was a delight, and a mine of information.
Thanks also to Trisha, the owner, our trip went without a hitch.
Returning in Feb 2011 - we are both so looking forward.

Oh how I miss those views!!
My parents stayed in this property in March of this year (my husband and I stayed in the nearby hotel for our wedding). It was perfectly situated, both for getting out and about, and also if you just fanced a stroll into Spitestown. Car was not a neccessity - although we did have some family trips out. The beach in front is perfect for an early morning swim - or some serious sunbathiing. The thing my parents enjoyed most was the easy relaxed way of the Barbados lifestyle - and of course the wonderful views, and superb spacious accommodation. A special thanks to Sandra - I even sent her some of my wedding pics!

This trip was awesome, from the turtles laying their eggs on the beach directly infront, to ´liming´ with the locals at the Fishermans Pub - even tried some surfing on the amazing East Coast. What a fab time we had!!
Thanks trish for letting us in on this perfect place.
