About this house rental
Located on the prestigious Sandy Lane Estate in St. James, Barbados, this lovely house is surrounded by over an acre of beautifully landscaped tropical gardens filled with towering palm trees and vibrant flora. The villa offers an inviting and tranquil retreat for those seeking the ultimate Barbados holiday experience.
An open-air terrace and dining patio with a built-in alcove for extra seating leads to the pool & jacuzzi, with views across the 3rd tee on the Sandy Lane 'Old Nine' golf course, where there is a garden gate giving access to the golf course for walking or jogging. Lounge chairs on the pool deck invite you to relax and work on the tan you have always longed for or, lounge in the Spanish-style covered Gazebo having afternoon tea or spending a lazy tropical afternoon with family and friends. The large TV room is perfect for quiet relaxation and also features access to all the UK channels allowing guests in the villa to keep up to date with English news, sports, and TV shows.
The main house offers 4 beautifully appointed air-conditioned bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom; 3 on the upper level and 1 on the ground floor. There is a 5th full bathroom with tub on the ground floor, conveniently positioned to serve as a powder room or changing room/bathroom when using the pool nearby.
There is a truly lovely and comfortable self-contained cottage on the grounds, consisting of 2 en-suite bedrooms, a sitting area with flat-screen TV and cable, as well as its own kitchen. A private, romantic spot to spend some quiet time with your significant other or alone, a glass of wine in hand as you soak in the plunge pool just off the patio, enjoying this most tranquil of settings.
One of the true highlights of staying at the villa is the exclusive access to the Sandy Lane Property Owners Beach Club. Here, you can enjoy sun loungers, umbrellas, and beachside food and drink services on the world-renowned Sandy Lane Beach, just a short walk or drive away. This beachfront access makes it the ideal place to spend your days soaking up the sun and embracing the beauty of the Caribbean.

A wonderful stay at Sandalwood
Wow! What an amazing holiday we had at Sandalwood, made even more special by the superb team of staff led by the housekeeper Charmaine for whom nothing was too much trouble. Theo the chef contoured up the most wonderful meals, Cynthia and Shanith worked wonders with the cleaning and laundry as did Jason with the garden. Not forgetting Lyndon the nightwatchman who looked after us every night!
The beach cabana and loungers were put into good use by my family - a superb set up on a most gorgeous beach. That is when we could make ourselves leave the beautiful pool area of the house!
And Chris was so easy to deal with and so prompt in an answering any questions during the booking process.
Will definitely visit this beautiful property again in the future

Fantastic Villa
Using all 6 bedrooms at the villa we certainly had a house full but everything worked so well for us. We all had a great time. The house was fantastic, the bedrooms were all a great size and the cottage worked really well for the teenage girls who wanted their own space.
The beach was very close and what a beach it was. Sandy Lane beach was stunning and the Property Owners Beach Club part of it was tremendous. In our opinion better than outside the Sandy Lane hotel. It was certainly one of the best beaches we had been to.
Finally our thanks go to Charmaine and all the staff at the villa who looked after us all so well.
Would love to go back sometime in the future and I will be recommending this villa and Sandy Lane in general to all my friends.

Absolutely Beautiful
We had the most amazing welcome from the staff at Sandalwood, which continued throughout the whole of our stay. The location is perfect as a short walk to Sandy Lane, and to Holetown.
The house is kept to a very high standard, the staff were very attentive. Charmaine (Housekeeper) was extremely helpful, kind and thoughtful in everyway, and Jackie was the most amazing cook. Every dish was delicious. We were made to feel at home and nothing was too much trouble. Even the gardener, Jason and the security guard Lyndon were very friendly, they were never intrusive.
Couldn't have wished for a better holiday. I highly recommend and will be booking a return visit.

Thank you for everything.

Stunning villa holiday!
This villa really is stunning and looks even better in person. It worked so well for our family, everyone loved it. For a family of all ages this is not an easy thing to achieve! The villa offered loads of room with really beautiful gardens. The added bonus is the beach is just a very short walk away. This worked really really well as you could easily go to the beach and then come back to relax even more at the villa. Holetown was also close by with some lovely restaurants and some fun bars. The icing on the cake was the staff who looked after us all so well and were always very friendly and smiley. They also produced so many great meals for us. Would definitely recommend this villa to a family looking for an excellent standard of villa.

Could not have been better!
We had a fantastic time at Sandalwood House. It truly was the perfect choice for our family. Charmaine, the head butler was the most amazing woman. She treated us like family and we were very well looked after. Jackie the head cook spoiled us with her meals. She worked with the meat we brought and even cooked us a traditional Bajan chicken dinner one night. The outdoor space is very conducive to outdoor living and we made use of pool, hot tub, and the gazebo. We loved having the eating area outside and so we spent all our time outdoors. It really is only a short walk to the beach and access to the cabana was appreciated. Access to the main highway is very easy from here and it was just a couple min drive to the grocery store. Thank you for your suggestion of Sandalwood House. It was the answer for our family holiday. Until next time,

We stay in Barbados a lot and Sandalwood was definitely up there as one of the best stays. I don't actually think the photo's do it justice because it is so lovely there is really hardly anything to pick fault with. I suppose you do have to be a bit careful with really young children as the patio does go straight off into the pool but then again the adults loved this part!
The bedrooms were all a great size and the cottage was great. We have stayed at a number of villas that have separate cottages and often they can be a bit second class compared to the main house but this one was superb. The rest of the house was really well maintained, with huge praise to the gardener who had the gardens looking magnificent.
The staff were so lovely. Always a smile and some gorgeous meals cooked too. We loved the picnics made up for us to take to the beach. Talking of the beach, it was about a 6/7 min walk away which for was ideal. Lots of privacy but close enough to get to easily. The house also has a beach cabana you can use (most are just storage for chairs) as it has a fridge, tiled floor and places to hang up wet towels.
All in all, every one of us really enjoyed our stay. Thanks to Chris for recommending it to me. We will definitely be back!

Great time had by all
A fantastic holiday at Sandalwood House. The house was extremely well maintained and we loved the privacy. The staff were lovely and looked after us exceptionally well. The beach was just over a 5 minute walk away which was so handy and beach itself was great for swimming.
Thank you Chris for arranging our transfers and car hire. Much appreciated. Hope to be back soon.
