Our family of 7 adults stayed at Gibbs Glade villa for 14 nights in June and it was wonderful. The photographs on the website do not do it justice - light and airy, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a large barbecue. Shann was lovely, she took great care of the villa without ever being intrusive and Shanee was a huge help when we managed to lock ourselves out! Relaxing by the lovely pool was heaven, as were strolls to Mullins beach and Gibbs beach. The villa is in a great spot - very quiet and a short walk to Sea Shed, Larry Roger’s, Devon’s Corner and Bombas. There is also a garage/gas station just across from Bombas, handy for essentials. It was really easy to pick up a bus to get us to Holetown and Speightstown. We would all recommend the villa unreservedly and would all love to return - we had a ball!

The villa is well presented, situated ten minutes walk from two of the best beaches on the island, Gibbes and Mullins. It is large and open plan, with two double bedrooms and one twin bedroom each with plenty of storage and AC as standard. Two of the bedrooms are en suite whilst the third bedroom has the use of the 'family bathroom'. All bathrooms are clean and reasonably modern. The beds and bedding are of excellent standard. The fourth bedroom is in a garden room the other side of the pool and is smaller than the villa bedrooms. It has an adequate en-suite bathroom, also on the small side. The AC unit in the room leaked the day we arrived and resulted in soaked through mattress/pillows and bedding. We had to strip the bed and make the best of it until it was repaired the next day. The engineer told us the unit was dirty. The kitchen is large and modern and has most of the accessories you would expect. However, the drawers in the fridge were broken which resulted in limited storage space for bottles etc. Not what we expected. A spotlight in the kitchen flashed constantly but was not replaced during our 10 day stay despite more than one request. The highlight of the villa is the outdoor space, with a BBQ, large seating area for dinner and a separate lounging area. The pool area is great. However, there were only six sunbeds despite us being a party of 7. The cleaner (Shan) was helpful but communications with the housekeeper were slow. In summary, a nice stay.

we chose this location as we have been to this part of the island before and were able to have other family staying in a villa close by. It is our favourite area- so quiet but so close to the beach , easy to catch buses from the main road and drive the beautiful spots to visit in the north. The property is so clean and well looked after . We couldn't imagine why we might need a housekeeper and gardener so often, but in fact it kept the house, garden and pool area looking so good, clean and tidy. The communication with the owner is quick , seamless and helpful. The kitchen is well equipped - we were able to cook many family meals without struggle, the air con works perfectly and the daytime breezes keep the house cool in the day. The little cottage was perfect for a young couple and the mini gym was used by our group. Mullins and Gibbes beaches are so close, -all in all couldn't be better. Thanks Maria.

We’ve been coming to Barbados for years and have rented quite a few places. We know what makes for an enjoyable stay and this villa is the best of the best! We have stayed here a number of times and it’s like home to us. Besides being pristine, very-well appointed, spacious and a very short walk through a lovely, clean neighourhood to the best beach in Barbados, what we really like about this villa is: It’s QUIET!. No roosters, goats, chickens or dogs nearby. No traffic because it’s not a throughway. No kites flying. No noisy neighbours. Very few tree frogs singing in their loud voices at night. The breeze! We are comfortable all day and sometimes don’t even turn on the AC at night. We love hearing the gentle wind in the trees. It’s really soothing. The shade! The covered terrace facing the pool is huge and provides protection against sun and rain. Sun lovers can lounge around that pool and get their tan but the shade is welcomed relief. We live on that terrace. No mosquitos! This is a problem at many other rentals. We can leave the doors open and sit out at night. The furniture. The furniture is top quality and have thick cushions. Even the pool loungers have great cushions. The beds and pillows are comfortable. The bed linens are soft. There is comfortable seating for everyone, it’s not musical chairs. The ambience. The grounds and the house are so pretty. Night time can be enchanting. The lighting on the terrace is soft and the lights in the pool add to the magic. Restaurants within walking distance. Sea Shed, Royal Westmoreland, Adrian’s, Real Jamaican, Bombas, Cici’s and Grandene’s! The Housekeeper! Sophia is the best housekeeper on this island; she has very high standards for herself and she’s meticulous. She is very welcoming, caring, thoughtful and respectful. She starts early but stays at the back of the property doing laundry. She will very quietly sweep the terraces, tidy the cushions and wipe the tables. You won't hear her. She does not come inside until she sees you up and about. She’s very fast and very thorough. Sophia zigs when you zag, she’s never in your way. She will do what makes you happy. Response-time. When even the littlest problem crops up, the staff and owner are on it and it’s resolved as quickly as possible. They are really big into customer satisfaction. These are the reasons we keeping coming back!

GGV is a lovely, well appointed villa. The grounds are good for a small/medium group - there are 8 loungers around the pool but if you are indoors then you can only sit 4 to watch the TV indoors, and then a further great separate TV lounge for another 2 people. There were just 2 of us and we are used to a lot of space! Sophia and Trevor were very nice but arrived by 7am every day. They were very respectful and really helpful so you just need to work out what works best with you for cleaning and help etc. My only small complaint would be that its really really dangerous to walk by the pool when its wet - either from the rain or cleaning .

Absolutely perfect for a family and friend attending a wedding. Owner and host couldn't have been more knowledgable or helpful. The whole stay was fun from start to finish. Great location - short walk to the beach - and everything one could need at the Villa itself. We'll be back!

We finally got to Gibbs Glade Villa at our third attempt due to Covid and it was more than worth the wait. Maria was incredibly accommodating and patient through the whole process and a fount of good advice and information. She arranged Fast Track (well worth it) and pick up at the airport which made the arrival experience a breeze and everything was ready for us at the Villa. When we got there, Sophia was very respectful and helpful and we saw the care she took in looking after the villa as was the case with the garden. It is a real home from home with everything thought of and very comfortable. The terrace is where we spent most of the time either eating, chatting, reading or just relaxing. The location is perfect as Mullins Beach and Gibbs Beach are both just 5 minutes away. Mullins is busier with sea sports and the great Sea Shed with great food, cocktails and beach loungers. Gibbs is a little paradise, never busy and a picture postcard Caribbean beach. You must also try Local & Co. in Speightstown which is relatively new, uses local ingredients and is very high quality. We have been going to Barbados for 15 years and tried lots of different and very nice villas but this is the best and the one we will definitely return to.

We returned last week after 17 amazing days at GGV. I can honestly say that it was the most relaxing holiday we have ever had. We are a family of 5 (3 grown up kids who still come away as we pay for them!!) and from the moment we walked through the door we felt at home. The villa had everything you need and if you had a question whether it was about the villa or Barbados Sophia (housekeeper) was always on hand to help, she was truly amazing. My experience was great from start to finish as Maria (owner) helped with everything from booking/fast track/car hire/food delivery/pcr info etc. Nothing was too much trouble. The area was fantastic and I think Gibbs beach will always be my favourite beach in the world - clear turquoise water, white sand and usually just us on the beach. Mullins was also great, we loved cocktails at Adrians while we watched the sunset and dinner at Seashed was always perfect. We travelled all over the island mainly by car but I think one of our best experiences was the yellow bus (not for the faint hearted!!). We always felt safe as they take covid seriously but never felt it affected our stay. We felt very lucky to be in the villa as a hotel would have meant a different type of curfew (ours was cocktails by the pool!). Writing about this makes me feel sad to be sitting in my office in London but we will definitely go back. Thanks again for the best summer x

Just enjoyed our second visit to this perfect villa, it was gorgeous last visit, but somehow even nicer now. You immediately relax as you enter the spacious living area , and as you go through to the back veranda you just sit and admire the garden pool area . The villa is so beautifully kept by Sophia, everything is spotless . I like that there is non breakables glasses/plate to use by the pool it stops me worrying about potential broken glass . Everything in the villa is really nice quality from loungers, to bedding , crockery to table cloths, everything tiny thing has been considered and thought off. For us it was just a very short break within our main holiday with a large group off us, we needed to take some time out, so when my husband suggested we try and return to GGV I was thrilled when there was a small gap to accept our booking. As was our previous experience Maria was a star, communication was great , nothing to much trouble and she remembered us from a couple of years ago which was nice.I was also impressed with Covid protocols at the villa. The only bad thing about the villa is you have to leave!! But we will definitely be back, already planning 2022 visit. Thank you for everything. Sam and Nick

Excellent location, beautifully decorated and maintained, safe quiet neighbourhood, near shops and restaurants, and with lots of space. We have just had 3 weeks at Gibbs Glade villa, and can only say positive things about it. With plenty of space, the house is fully equipped with everything you need, high speed internet, beautiful gardens, lovely style of decor, and within easy reach of many beaches and Speightstown or Holetown for groceries, bars and restaurants. Whilst Barbados is different because of Covid, and many places are still closed, we found plenty to do. And having the beaches almost to ourselves, was a dream come true for us. The icing on the cake was Sophia our amazing housekeeper, and Trevor who kept the garden beautifully trimmed and cleared. Sophia will look after your every need, and is a mine of information for the island. Don't hesitate to come to Barbados and give the island and locals some support, they are handling Covid better than anywhere I know in the world, and I've never felt safer. We have moved on to another property now as we want to see all areas of the island over the next 5 weeks, but we will miss Gibbs Glade and we will certainly miss Sophia!. Don't hesitate to book!

I had a possibility to visit this Gibbs Glade Villa in November 2015. This is a "perfect Caribbean holiday home" for friends / families / etc. You will find everything what you need at this villa. The standard of villa / interior is first class. The location is very good; quite area and just a few minutes walk to beaches. Based on this very positive experience, I/we have already done next booking of this holiday house later this year (October 2016). I can recommend this villa strongly to all other persons who are looking for a villa in this geographical location. An update will follow after our next stay in Gibbs Glade Villa (October, 2016).

Perfect Villa! The description of the property is very accurate, and the whole place is spotless. More than that though, the villa really does feel luxurious, its design is very open, which makes it feel very spacious even with a big group. The decor is of a high standard as well. The privacy the Villa provides was also appreciated. With a gate at the front and walls all around you, its easy to enjoy the place without a thought for the world outside. The staff were great as well. Not only would I recommend the place to friends, but we plan on returning at the nearest opportunity.

We all had a great time at GGV. Joseph and the team really made us feel welcome. The first day Joseph went out of his way to do groceries for us. When we needed needle and thread they rushed to the property to help us. We enjoyed the pool which is larger than the pictures. It was a great escape from the humidity. The new gym equipment was great. We used it daily!

This is an amazing Villa. The location is prime. The beaches are 5 minutes walking distance. The pool is amazing and the deck is grate. The people that service the villa are very professional and friendly. Cant say enough about our experience. We were 8 adults and there was plenty of room for everyone. Will definitely come back. Friday night fish fry is a must.

Our 2 weeks stay at the Gibb Glade Bay was exceptional. The property was perfect – beautiful mountain view, the home is so very well appointed and so welcoming. There is just the best tropical breeze that flows through the house from front to back…feel refreshing. The house was very well equipped and extremely well located with just a few minutes’ walk to a beautiful Mullin beach. The bedrooms are spacious and all have their own bathrooms, big bonus. The house is supplied with good quality towels, linen, beach towels and it a home away from home. The kitchen is nice and big and fully stocked with everything that we needed and everything was spotless. Common areas are great and spacious. The backyard was a haven for us all…. It is the one place we’d spend most of our time. Again a beautiful view, the ground were meticulously kept, very clean, beautiful and good size pool for us all to enjoyed.. I myself spend every morning meditated and took in the beautiful, warm fresh air on the patio. Some of us spend all night out by the patio and reminisced and watched the sunrise. The house is clean and well maintained by Marcella and Joseph. Both are super nice, helpful and amazing. They are there for whatever our needs may be. The wifi worked amazing! Truly a great place to stay and a great experience! We will be back! The only negative I could find is the place could probably use better lighting in the kitchen ;). I would suggest this place to any and every one. Great find!

Beautiful villa a short walk away from the beach. Comfortable, air conditioned bedrooms, large patio space, great living room with large patio doors which let the breeze come down from the hill. Joseph was very helpful and always available. Marcelle was a delightful presence and we could see why she is loved by everyone. We would vacation here again.

An ideal location in an exclusive and quiet residential area only 5 minutes from probably the best beach in Barbados, and close to all the facilities in nearby Spieghtstown. The villa is spacious with high ceilings designed for maximum ventilation and therefore cool even in the heat of the day. A beautiful circular swimming pool in the garden which is expertly maintained by Gordon - the gardener and pool man. Altogether an excellent choice of a villa for a memorable holiday.

West Coast Villa was everything we had hoped for and more. The living areas and bedrooms were spacious and stylish and the kitchen was well equipped with everything you could need. The villa was secure and conveniently located 5 minutes walk away from the beach. The pool area had plenty of sun loungers with beach towels provided. We will definitely be back and will recommend it to all of our friends! Thanks
