Photos and Description of the Glitter Bay vacation apartment rental Luxury property 2 Beds, 2 Baths, Sleeps 6 - exceptional sunsets and ocean views

Simply stunning are words that do not do this property justice. It sits perched overlooking the Caribbean Sea on a half-mile stretch of sandy beach nestled in a lush oasis of coconut palms. This is the Glitter Bay Estate, quite simply the best resort on the island of Barbados, built in Mediterranean style with beautiful lush gardens and a tropical freshwater pool. Ocean Blue is a modern 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment that can sleep 6 - 30 seconds walk from the fine powder white sandy beach.. The property benefits from a large terrace that overlooks the beach and Caribbean ocean. It is very well equipped and comes with its own housekeeper Beverley. Quite simply it is everything you could desire in a beachside hideaway and is perfect for a honeymoon, romantic getaway or a family holiday that you will never forget. The owner has anticipated all her guests’ needs and this is truly the ultimate in 5 Star luxury. WE MANAGE TWO OTHER APARTMENTS AT GLITTER BAY

Details for Ocean Blue Glitter Bay 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 6, 2 Bathrooms

Barbados, perched in the sea to the east of the Windward Islands is an immensely satisfying holiday destination. Without the mountainous tropical rain forests of the Windward Islands, Barbados has natural attractions of its own: acres of rolling green sugar cane fields, a breathtaking coastline of soft sandy beaches lapped by calm turquoise waters of the Caribbean on the west and expanses of wild surf crashing onto the wide sandy beaches of the Atlantic east coast, exotic trees and shrubs such as banyan, mahogany, flamboyant and poinsettia. As you drive across the island you glimpse fine, colonial-style plantation houses and come across villages of houses brightly painted in classic Caribbean colours, surrounded by garden of frangipani and hibiscus. Barbados is a paradise island, highly recommended if you haven’t been to the Caribbean before or if you want a tropical beach holiday with plenty of sightseeing activities. Holidaymakers are lured by the sunshine and palm fringed beaches.

Ocean Blue is located on the breathtaking West Coast in St James where you can relax on a gorgeous stretch of white sandy beach overlooking the turquoise water of the Caribbean. Beach towels, sun loungers with mattresses and parasols are all available each morning on the beach or by the pool. You can enjoy every type of water sport, water skiing, sailing, diving and paragliding. The snorkeling all along the beach is excellent and you may even see a turtle! Windsurfing is available on the south coast side of the island. Game fishing and boats for hire can all be arranged. Within ten minutes you can be up in the hills away from the manicured lawns and landscaped gardens. There, among the quaintly painted matchbox houses there is a different world of cane fields, rum bars, tiny villages and magnificent views. Families are welcome and Beverley can arrange baby sitting. World class cuisine can be found at restaurants on both the West and South coast.

Further details for this vacation apartment rental in Glitter Bay, Barbados

Testimonial 1: Having viewed photographs of Ocean Blue on the internet my expectations of the apartment were high – I wasn’t disappointed! It more than exceeded all my expectations and is simply stunning and is everything you could wish for in an apartment - spacious, modern, tasteful, bright – yet also very comfortable and practical with some thoughtful extra touches such as boogie boards for the sea and a picnic hamper for days out at the beach. The décor and furnishings of the apartment are fabulous and a credit to the owner’s good taste. In a great location, ideally placed for the beautiful west coast beaches (the nearest beach to the apartment being about 30 seconds walk away!) and the facilities of Holetown. Waking up to the view of the beach from the huge balcony each morning felt like I was in paradise. The grounds and pool of Glitter Bay are also great, particularly if you are staying there with children. It is a very peaceful and relaxing setting and I can heartily recommend it!

Testimonial 2: March 2008 We had a wonderful holiday. The apartment is stunning and exceeded our expectations. The feeling of space, freedom and tranquility is something that is rare to find in Barbados today. Despite the long delay in obtaining our luggage at the airport, Beverley was at the apartment to greet us, and made us feel very welcome (bearing in mind it was supposed to be her day off). Throughout the holiday nothing was too much trouble for her. A lovely beach without the usual scramble for chairs and umbrellas. It was altogether perfect, and we can't wait until February 2009.

Testimonial 3: Ocean Blue was even better than we had anticipated. We loved it all, your unit is full of charm and character and provided everything and more than we could have asked for. Beverly was so sweet, Wesley was such a gentleman, all the staff at Glitter Bay were friendly and left us with great memories of Barbados and the people. We hope to return some day. Once again, thank you from all my family members. - PA Four of us had a fantastic Bajan holiday based in Ocean Blue. The apartment has all the features you'd expect in a top hotel including a great view, plenty of space, comfortable beds and entertainment i.e. big TV, DVD/Cable. Also, the fully equipped kitchen enabled us to rustle up some tasty breakfasts and the occasional meal. Finally, having Beverley come in regularly ensured everything was kept clean and tidy. We'd certainly recommend the apartment and its' location just a few steps from another ocean blue, the Caribbean sea!

Stunning!

Review Submitted: August 12, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed in Ocean Blue from 10-24 Jul 09 and we had a fantastic holiday. As an Interior Designer myself, I have high expectations but the moment we stepped into the apartment, I knew we would be staying in something really special. Not only was it beautifully furnished and very well equipped, but it was spotlessly clean aswell. Beverley was fantastic and very helpful. The location was amazing being literally 2 minutes walk from the apartment to the beach and it was sage enough to let our 7 year old son wander around on his own. What made it very special for us was seeing a turtle laying her eggs on the beach on our last morning. We will definitely return.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind words. When creating this property I wanted to create an ambiance that would feel like a home rather than a holiday home. It is the little touches and finishes which make all the difference and by having a dedicated maid we are able to provide for guests every needs. Obviously it helps being on the beach and having wonderful weather, but the property itself is the big appeal and the reason why we have so many satisfied repeat guests. We aim to exceed guests expectations in all areas and no request however large or small is a problem for us. Penny

Review Submitted: June 12, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
This was our tenth time in Barbados but our first at Glitter Bay. Barbados is a wonderful destination and for us Glitter Bay was truly the icing on the cake. It has a beautiful mature tropical setting and, in our view, the best beach on Barbados. It is also very tranquil and private yet in walking distance of the island's best restaurants and hotels.
To add to that, Ocean Blue is a magnificent apartment (and according to many of our fellow regular guests at Glitter Bay, the best in the resort - and we have no reason to disagree). The standard of decoration, furnishing and comfort surpasses 5 star.
We are already booked for the next 2 years!

Hi Penny

I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say what a fabulous time Richard and I had in Barbados and how perfect Ocean Blue is. We felt really at home the moment we walked through the door – the apartment really is absolutely beautiful and the way you have furnished it is perfect - we really didn’t want to leave”
