Photos and Description of the Bottom Bay vacation villa rental 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, sleeps 6

Hummingbird House is a new villa with ocean views and a private swimming pool just a two-minute walk from Bottom Bay Beach - an out-of-the-way 150 meter strip of breathtaking white sand and coconut trees sandwiched between two sea cliffs. It is arguably the most beautiful beach in Barbados. Our villa features 3 air-conditioned bedrooms and a nicely equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances. The living room has comfy lounge seating for six with a widescreen LCD HDTV and the master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. The spacious covered back patio is exposed to a refreshing sea breeze and overlooks a private pool with beautiful ocean views. Bottom Bay is on the southeast coast of Barbados in the parish of St Philip, with most of the island within a 30 minute drive. Much of the sea coast in St. Philip is made up of a series of ragged, scenic coastal cliffs that are punctuated occasionally by idyllic white-sand beaches such as Bottom Bay.

Our villa is located on the southeastern coast of the island and is a short stroll from the breathtaking Bottom Bay Beach, one of the most picturesque beaches in the world. There are several other stunning beaches within the immediate area including the famous beaches at The Crane and Sam Lords Castle within 5 minute drives, and lesser known secluded beaches at Cave Bay (Harrismith) and Palmetto Bay within easy walking distance. The airport is situated approximately 15 minutes away and the capital, Bridgetown, around 30 minutes from our villa.

Further details for this vacation villa rental in Bottom Bay, Barbados

The Bottom Bay Region: Bottom Bay is on the southeast coast of Barbados in the parish of St Philip, a scenic out-of-the-way area in eastern Barbados. As Barbados is only about 21 miles long (North-to-South) by 14 miles wide (East-to-West), nothing on the island is too far away, and most places are within an easy 30-minute drive. Much of the sea coast in St. Philip is made up of a series of scenic, ragged coastal cliffs that are punctuated occasionally by idyllic white-sand beaches such as Bottom Bay (which is in our opinion the most spectacular of these - although we're admittedly a bit biased).

While most of the big hotels and resorts on the island are situated along the west coast, the quieter southeast coast and the east coast offer the breathtaking views and rugged natural scenery that make Barbados an island paradise. In addition to the picturesque Bottom Bay Beach, the world-famous Crane Beach and Sam Lords Castle beachfront are within 10 minutes drive. If you're looking for fine dining nearby, the Crane Resort has two acclaimed restaurants, and the busier south and west coasts are 20-30 minutes drive away. We highly recommend the inexpensive, low-key nightly 'Fish-Fry' at Oistins (on the south coast in Christ Church), home of the Island's biggest fish market.

Getting Around: Bridgetown's harbor and shopping are a 25-30 minute drive away (if you avoid rush hour traffic), and renowned golf courses at the Barbados Golf Club and Sandy Lane Resort (where Tiger Woods was married) are just 15 & 30 minutes away, respectively. We highly recommend renting a car for getting around the island, but regular buses are also available and taxis can be called as alternatives. Many car rental companies will drop off and pick up cars to our villa, making the experience fairly painless.

Hummingbird House, Private Paradise In Barbados

Donna & Gary Markham, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: June 17, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Our wonderful experience started with Jan and John, the couple that manage the property. They had asked for our flight information and were expecting us when we showed up in the driveway. Jan and John made sure that we knew everything about the property, the area and gave us great tips on what to see and do during our stay. Their welcome was the prelude to the warm and friendly hospitality that is prevalent on this island.

The property is very well maintained. Even though there is an indoor dining area, we ate, sat and gathered exclusively at the outdoor dining room table in the covered area by the pool. The kitchen was well stocked and we especially enjoyed the fridge that spit out plenty of crushed ice that made a great base for our ``Hummingbird Rum Punch``. Although there is air conditioning, after the first couple of nights, we acclimatized and just let the ocean breeze that blew through the open windows cool us down.

Stepping outside through the double French doors each morning, we were greeted by the sunrise, a magnificent view of the ocean breaking over the offshore reef in the distance and the sounds of the surf.

We often heard comments from the locals that Bottom Bay was the best beach on the island; and we can attest to that. The cove is picturesque; the sand is beautiful, the water clear blue and the beach extremely clean. The ocean is a little rougher on the south eastern coast but our group enjoyed playing in the surf.

A rental car is a must. While it took a little getting used to driving on the “wrong side” of the road, the drivers are very courteous and make allowances for tourists. You will get lost! But who cares, the island is small and even a series of wrong turns won’t get you too far off track.

So much to do – not enough time. Don’t miss: Oistins Friday night party, the BBQ fish fry near the villa at the Church, St. Lawrence Gap (night life and restaurants). Drive the island. We especially enjoyed our coastal trip around the entire island. The view from the northern cliffs around Cluffs Bay is breathtaking and stopping off at Round House on the east coast for Coconut pie rounded out the day as the sun set on the surfers riding the waves below. Our favorite restaurants were L’Azure at the Crane (it was our anniversary), Pisces in the St Lawrence Gap, Round House and hanging out on Cutters’ patio.

We had a great time and look forward to returning to Hummingbird House.
Owner's Response: Donna & Gary were Ideal guests. We're glad they had a wonderful anniversary & vacation.

Our Perfect Holiday

Moira and Jimmy West Yorkshire England
Review Submitted: April 29, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
We recently returned from a months stay at Hummingbird House. The villa is in a perfect location for peace quiet and tranquility.The desription of the villa is very accurate. It is very clean and well-maintained. The villa has everything and more you could possibly want to make you feel at home. Jan and John the property managers are very friendly and make you feel very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Nightlife and restaurants are just a short car journey away. This was our 4th visit to Barbados and this has been the best accomodation we have stayed in. We look forward to returning to Barbados again and hope Hummingbird House is available.

great holiday villa

CW1974 New York City
Review Submitted: April 10, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
My family spent the Christmas and New Year here and had a great time. We had a 4 year old with us and the house was ideal, plenty of enclosed space for her to run around and plenty of shade when it got too hot. It's a very short walk to a very quiet beach and because of the breeze from the ocean there's no mosquitoes! (Something we were all delighted about!)

The house is very clean and extremely well kept and practical. The kitchen is fully equipped so we were able to do a lot of cooking at home, the supermarket is about a 10 minute drive away.

It's very peaceful at night which we much preferred to the rowdiness of the west coast, and it's a short drive - about 20 minutes or so - to the restaurants and bars on the south coast. Maurice made the whole experience very easy and we would highly recommend it to people seeking a relaxing holiday destination.

A Fabulous Place to Stay!

Contented Canadian Ottawa, Canada
Review Submitted: March 24, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
March 24, 2009

What a delightful place Hummingbird is to stay at. The villa is clean, well-equipped with furnishings that are in excellent condition, which is not always the case with some places, and a very good place for four adults and one 2 year old boy. Having the pool was fabulous so that we could have a quick dip and be able to cool off. Having the shower area outside was a great benefit for keeping the pool clean so that we could remove sand from our feet before entering the pool. The washer and drier were a real asset for doing the laundry.

The villa was well equipped with dishes, cutlery and pots and pans etc. The internet worked well and the TV had a large variety of stations to watch and be able to get a variety of news stations from US, British and Canadian news. It gives one a better balance of what is happening on the world scene.

Jan and John, the local couple responsible for the property and greeting those who stay at the villa, are a delightful couple. They were non intrusive while at the same time available when needed. They had good suggestions and gave a good introduction to the villa. They certainly look after the villa well and supervise the gardener etc.

The location on the island is far more private and hence less busy than the Bridgetown side. Bottom Bay beach a short walk away was a lovely quiet and almost private beach which helped to heighten the experience. The ocean at that point is not easy to swim in because of the strength of the waves but none of us were avid swimmers but had fun walking in the waves and "battling" their strength!! It is a lovely beach to sunbathe on.

Your suggestion of renting a car at the airport for the time we were there was a good one. It allowed us to tour the island for the scenic beauty especially on the Atlantic side and to visit Nicholas Abby and other such places such as the wildlife zoo and Ocean Park with the grandson.

Maurice, the owner was a very helpful person to work with to make our stay comfortable and went out of his way to accomodate the fact that we had a two year old child with us.

Thanks to Maurice from five contended occupants from Canada

The perfect island villa

Wilsaan Bethesda, MD, USA
Review Submitted: March 7, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
This was our first trip to Barbados and our first island vacation, and Hummingbird House provided the perfect setting for our trip. We went in late September and the weather was fantastic. The villa is modern, clean and beautiful, and the property managers are friendly and accessible. The private pool is a wonderful addition to the house, so much so that we spent the majority of our time in or near the water. The kitchen was perfect for preparing the bulk of our meals (there is a large grocery a short drive from the villa), but a variety of nice restaurants are within driving range. All of these amenities make Hummingbird House an ideal hide-away, but we also enjoyed several day trips around the island. Bottom bay is a very nice beach and only a five-minute walk from the villa. In fact, you can see the coast from the back patio. We look forward to many more vacations in Barbados and Hummingbird House is our only choice for accommodations.
Owner's Response: Wil & Jenny were ideal guests. We hope they're able to come back soon...

-Maurice
