About this property

This delightful 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom Villa is situated on Palm Avenue, Sunset Crest, a central location in St. James on the famous west coast. It is a wonderful shady retreat in a quiet residential location, ideal for relaxing and just dreaming. It is nestled in large tranquil tropical, gardens and yet it is only 5 minutes away from The Beach House, with large 50 ft pool, bar and restaurant, which is fully available to Palm Villa guests.
We offer a high standard of furnishings and fittings - all you could need for a perfect holiday. The villa has a lovely double patio area for relaxing and dining while the lounge provides comfortable seating (two seater and three seater settees with chair) so you can choose your 'downtime' area! French doors lead you onto the patio and there is large settee and rattan chairs and lovely breeze to keep you cool. The villa has everything to meet your needs - Direct TV, DVD, stereo, Free Wi-Fi and free telephone for all local calls, plus fully equipped kitchen with fridge, freezer, cooker, liquidiser, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and all necessary crockery and utensils to a high standard.

The bedrooms are both en-suite and are light and airy with comfortable king size beds. Both have overhead ceiling fans and AC for your comfort. A third bedroom is also available with twin beds and AC should this be needed.

Fabulous white sandy beaches are 5 minutes walking distance from the villa and wind along the coastline both north and south.

With so many places of interest and excursions on offer it's hard to decide where to go and what to do! Car hire is simple and easy - to visit the rugged east coast, which is wild and beatuiful and very different to the tranquil west coast

Lovely to be back

So, this was our 14th stay in Barbados (we think!) and our second time staying at this property. If you've ever stayed in Sunset Crest / Holetown (or Barbados in general!), you'll know that properties vary significantly in quality, cleanliness and value. Let's just say that this property is one we'd return to without hesitation. It is in a great location and with access to the "local pool" (on the beachfront) and represents excellent value for money. Put it this way, we stayed in a 4* hotel in the South for 6 days before heading to Linda's place (thanks for making check in so effortless!) and I'd argue the standards we're comparable.. can't wait to get back there :)

Amazing villa and great location

We loved this villa! It is in a great location of beautiful Barbados and we always felt very secure. As two couples sharing the villa, we had plenty of space, both inside and outside. We truly enjoyed the outdoor covered area to start and end our day. A 10 minute walk to the main road where we could easily get transportation to explore the island, and approximately a 12 minute walk to the beach and The Beach House. As “beach people” we didn’t think we’d use the facility but we loved having access to the loungers, pool and bar/restaurant area. A beautiful place to relax while overlooking the sea. Our host Linda was very helpful to ensure everything was satisfactory and everyone was happy. Tania was also available to ensure our stay was a pleasant one. A housekeeper and a gardener also ensure the property is well kept. We highly recommend and would love to return.

Location, location,location

Location of palm villa is incredible for exploring Barbados. Close to grocery stores, fish markets, restaurants and beaches. After exploring the island all day it was so relaxing to sit in the back yard listening to birds,frogs, and see a few monkeys going through. BBQ was great to cook the fish from the market, kitchen fully equipped, and Linda was incredibly helpful and responsive in any questions we had. This villa is a perfect place to enjoy everything Barbados has to offer.

Large private home in quiet neighborhood

Excellent place to stay if you want a quiet retreat. Large home with everything we needed. Neighborhood setting yet close enough to walk to coffee shop. Could walk to restaurants and beach too. No view, but lovely quiet back patio with plenty of seating.

Excellent for a family or two couples.

This place is amazing, with lots of space for a family or perhaps two couples to share. We stayed with two teenagers and we all had space to enjoy. The rooms are generous in size and there are multiple large outdoor seating areas.The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and comes fully equipped.The host is very helpful and responsive through the entire process, from booking, settling in, enjoying the stay, and leaving. She cares.The house is about 1km from the club with pool and beach, and a bit further for shopping. We stayed for 1 week and did not rent a car. We walked most places and occasionally took a bus (very, very easy to do) or taxi. The walking was fine for us as our family enjoys the trade-off you get for a much larger place that only requires a short walk to the beach and town. If walking is not for you, I would suggest getting a rental car.The only small considerations I would suggest are:1. The bedrooms are air conditioned, but the rest of the house is not. This was perfectly fine for us during our visit in March, but for someone who likes to come home to an ice box while they are on vacation, something to consider.2. Housekeeping is occasional. This was fine for our family and we don't necessarily like or need for housekeeping to interrupt our vacation more than that. But for someone who expects daily deep cleaning, consider discussing with the host. The groundskeeper was there daily and did an excellent job.This place is a gem!

Uncared for

Not very clean, bathrooms especially, all appliances need replacing as are rusting. The grouting on the kitchen worktop dirty and unhygienic as are the bathroom floors. Toilet seats and accessories, shower rails, toilet roll holders, taps and the showers don’t spray properly etc. Trip hazard on steps as the metal edging is coming away, it could be a lovely property if updated and cleaned properly two times a week, our experience was that anything above head height is never cleaned, and the cleaner came once a week. The wooden sun loungers in the courtyard garden were most uncomfortable because the seat pads again need replacing with thicker pads, they are stained and very old. The pictures on Virbo are out very of date, garden very dark and overgrown. The access to the beach club was very good with spotless bathrooms, pool was lovely and we could step out onto the beach, it’s at least a fifteen minute walk away from the property. The 10/10 listing on Virbo is inaccurate because the standard of the property must have been deteriorating over a long period of time. The instruction book in the property is also out of date.

Hidden Oasis

Property was hidden behind a lovely garden. Great facilities with everything you could possibility want/need, another blessing was the laundry meaning we came home with clean clothes. Close to beach and great to have pool option albeit only serviced with bar part of the week. Only slight downside was the uphill walk back in the heat.

Quiet and tranquil

Palm villa is a lovely house with beautiful mature gardens that provide plenty of shade and cool breeze, a great place to relax and switch off. Only ten minutes walk to the beach club which we found really useful with two teeangers in tow, Linda is a great host and answered any questions quickly as well as arranging a taxi from the airport at a good price ! We were met on arrival and shown how everything woked plus Janice the housekeeper called in twice to tidy up etc which was an unexpected bonus - would we go again, 100%.

Palm Villa

We had a wonderful time in Barbados. One of the major reasons was because of Palm Villa and Linda our host. Beautiful gardens surround the property and we really enjoyed the outdoor living. Linda was an extremely attentive host, we had a plumbing problem during our stay, but Linda handled the entire situation quickly and professionally. We would not hesitate to recommend Palm Villa for a wonderful holiday. Thank you Linda for sharing your lovely home.

FAMILY FRIENDLY

Well equipped family accommodations for 2 adults and 3 children (6 - 10). Ms Janice (house keeper) and Joel (groundskeeper) kept things nice for us.. We hit the beach every day and quickly found out that Barbados was a bit more expensive than we thought but once we found the Rubbermaid containers in the cupboard, that made making transportable lunches doable, it really made the difference in our daily trips as the kids were always hungry.. we found the pool access a great alternative to the beach. Walking distance to shopping and groceries were an extra bonus. A special thanks for that Linda for having a well equipped kitchen (blender, kettle, cups, mugs, plates and bowls), beach towels and more❤️… Sorry for the broken can opener

Great house

Everything was perfect! Tanya was very nice during check-in and took the time to explain everything. The house is big and this being Barbados, we really enjoyed the outdoor spaces (living room and dining room). House was super clean, the kitchen was very well equipped (especially compared to other rentals we have been to), the washer and dryer were useful and the neighborhood was very quiet. Added bonus: our kids loved watching the family of monkeys who passed through the yard daily! Communication with Linda was efficient. Holetown and it’s restaurants, shops and supermarket was a 10 minute walk away through safe little streets. Lastly: we used the pool at the Beach Club at the end of each day before coming home; it was clean and well kept!

Great place to stay!

Have stayed in Sunset Crest / Holetown several times before as it's one of our favourite parts of Barbados. Very pleased when we arrived to be greated by Tania who gave us a tour of this lovely property and also put us contact with a few people who might be able to make our stay more comfortable (we managed a cheeky discount on Payne's sun loungers!) - really helped us to settle in quickly :) The property itself if great, tatsefully decorated and has everything you could ever need. Beds are all very comfortable and the rooms are spacious. There's a 3rd bedroom accessed throiugh the second which was great for us as both kids had their own space. 2 bathrooms which is also handy when you have teenagers! Outside there's plenty of space to relax or dine and the gardens are very lush with a great level of privacy. We spent a few more evenings "at home" as it was such a lovely environment to chill out in. We'll definitely be back to Barbados and will absolutely contact Linda when looking for somewhere to stay - great host and really appreciated the phone call to make sure we had everything we needed :)

A beautiful property on a beautiful island.

A beautiful, well equipped, house in a great location. Palm Villa provides plenty of room, inside and out, in which to relax and enjoy yourself. The bedrooms are large, comfortable, and have en suite facilities. The kitchen is probably the best equipped that we have come across and even provides the basics such as herbs, spices, seasonings, tea & sugar etc. (almost unheard of anywhere else). It's the little things that make all the difference, such as, plenty of clothes hangers, decent wine glasses, a good BBQ, comfortable furniture etc. This really is a home from home and we enjoyed staying there immensely. Being an easy 10 min walk from everything that Hole Town has to offer, with other shops, amenities and bus stops even closer, Palm Villa is in a very good, and quiet, location. Also Linda, the owner is extremely helpful before, and during, your holiday. Her help and advice, together with her excellent staff on site, ensure that you get off to a great start from day one. She will even organise airport transfers and groceries for when you arrive. I cannot recommend this property highly enough so, if you are going to Barbados, Palm Villa is the place to stay. You won't be disappointed.

Beautiful villa in quiet area.

We have just returned from ten days in paradise! Firstly, I have to say that dealing with Linda was a pleasure from start to finish. She was always available if needed, and arranged our lifts from and to the airport for us. She also checked with us regularly to see if we needed anything. This villa is perfect for a home from home holiday. It is spacious, light and airy and beautifully furnished. There are mosquito and security grills on the outside of all windows which means that you can leave all of the windows open day and night. This gives a lovely airy feel to the place and gives nice through breezes. The air conditioning in the bedrooms is very efficient and the beds are very comfortable so we slept so well! The outdoor spaces are very private, except from the occasional visit from the friendly monkeys which is amazing. They visited us twice around breakfast time. The friendly housekeeper, Janice, visits twice a week to change beds and towels etc. There are plenty of towels provided including beach towels. This villa actually has all the amenities you need. The access that is provided to the Beach House is what makes this extra special. The Beach House is about a 15 minute walk away, but it is an easy walk. The access provides you with the use of all facilities at The Beach House so you have sun beds and shade and free iced water. There is a bar to buy drinks, and a restaurant for lunch and dinner. Also showers and changing rooms with lockers should you need them. We felt quite happy leaving our belongings out when we went for lunch or in the sea. It is a nice place, solely for use by members. The best part is the beach! It is particularly quiet and the water is beautiful here! The villa is situated in a quiet backwater, next door to a small hotel, whose pool we used on one occasion after checking at reception that it was ok to do so. There is a nice little cafe, a few shops and the bus stop within a 5/10 minute walk, and then the main supermarket and restaurants are about a 15 minute walk. Everything is within easy reach. We used the buses on two occasions. We went to Bridgetown on the blue bus, and then rode the yellow reggae bus to Speightstown which is an experience not to be missed!! You need the correct money, but it is only 1US dollar per person per ride. Amazing value. The locals are all very friendly and we always felt safe. We only have positives to say about this villa and holiday. Thank you Linda!

Indoors, three bedrooms & everything you could need - all as described in the listing.
