It is a fascinating 'sea house' on several levels, well maintained and set uniquely in the sloping rocks of the fashionable West Coast. 'Ocean Blues' is ideal for a party of 8 people; or two wings of the house can be sealed off to provide a 2 bedroom house for 4 people (1 king size bed and one queen size) and two 1-bedroom (double bed) studio apartments each with their own access, shower room, kitchenette and private terraces facing the ocean.

Daily maid service is included (Monday to Friday) and although catering does not form part of the package, arrangements can be made for guests occupying the full property. Among the fascinating features of the house is a spiral stone staircase that leads directly from a medieval style turret, to a tiny private cove below the villa. Also a charming roof terrace providing stunning views accessible from the balcony of the master bedroom/guest room.

Terms: A 30% non-refundable deposit is required to secure a booking and the remaining balance, six weeks prior to date of arrival.

April 05 We have been to Barbados several times but never in such a beautiful setting as Ocean Blues.A big thanks to Marci. Natalie & Dave
Oct.05 We have had 10 wonderful days at Ocean Blues - everything has been fantastic - snorkelling with the fishes, watching the birds and sunsets, exploring the island, - sheer heaven. Marci has looked after us very well. We've loved every minute and are very sad to go. However, we'll be back very soon and for longer next time. Annette and Geoff Hardaker
Jan.06 We had a wonderful time in Barbados and thought the studio apartment was excellent, the maid service was second to none and the view is to die for - we will definitely book with you again. Lackey Household
Aug.06 A big 'thank you' for making the arrangements that gave us a wonderful break at Ocean Blues. We found the apartment to be absolutely perfect for us and made good use of the facilities there. Marci of course was delightful and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Neil Morris

Perfect stay in upper studio at Ocean Blues

5 of 5
Submitted: May 26, 2011 Stayed: April 2011
We stayed in the upstairs studio over Easter 20-27 April 2011 and had a perfect stay from first arrival to departure. The location of the house right by the ocean with direct access down to the sea (and even your own little beach) was very special. The views are incredible from the terrace looking out over the ocean - we even saw turtles swimming by from our terrace. Lynn, the housekeeper, was fantastic and really looked after us and kept the house spotless. We had a car which made getting around easy. We would recommend Folkestone Marine Park for snorkelling and a trip over to Bathsheba on the East coast. The Lone Star was our favourite restaurant, Daphne's our favourite bar for sunset cocktails and the Sandy Lane hotel for the buffet lunch. However, it was always a real pleasure to return to the house, to enjoy the views from the terrace of the house and to swim in the ocean direct from the house. Many thanks for a beautiful stay and especially many thanks to Lynn who really went out of her way to look after us and to maintain the house to a very high standard.

Holiday Heaven

5 of 5
Submitted: February 13, 2011 Stayed: January 2011
e have just returned from our two week stay in the studio appartment at Ocean Blues having just enjoyed the best holiday ever in Barbados and have aready asked the owners to reserve the same two week period for next year, it was just fabulous! It was like a second honeymoon for my wife and I and made extra special by the owners, staff and location of this wonderful property! We never got bored of just sitting and watching the wonderful sunsets from our private terrace or watching the constant flow of sailing crafts pass by, it really is something special in an excellent location on the West coast ideal for sight seeing in nearby Bridgetown or some late night entertainment and great restaurants all the way up the west coast from this property to nearby Holetown, Speightstown and even Cattlewash on the East coast! Please don't take our words for it just give it a try and you will NOT be disappointed, it's exactly like it says in the brochure!!

fabulous balcony

5 of 5
Submitted: March 13, 2010 Stayed: January 2010
We stayed at the upstairs studio in January 2010 and had a great holiday. The property was as described, and the size of the balcony exceeded all expectations. The views were spectacular, and it was very private -it really is the living room for the property. Best of all was the retractable awning which covered the whole area.
Swimming in the sea was great, with easy access from the private beach at the foot of the house.
The accommodation was very clean, with a friendly daily maid service, and the owners made us very welcome.
It is a little distance away from any shops or restaurants, but we travelled on the very frequent local buses for the equivalent of 50p to shops, beaches and restaurants.
