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

Enjoy Altamar in Barbados all year round: Our ocean front property can be enjoyed in Barbados all of the year with perfect daytime and evening temperatures. It tends to be less breezy, with calmer sea in the summer months (June to September), making swimming and snorkeling at the small beach within a few steps of the villa a perfect way to keep cool and enjoy some exercise. The summer can be an exciting time in Barbados with the famous 'Cropover Festival', taking place in July and August. In addition, the many golf courses can be enjoyed in Barbados all the year round.

Cricket in Barbados: If you are a cricket fan, there's nothing better than watching the sport in Barbados. The villa offers access to many of the local grounds (for example, the Windward cricket club is only a few minutes drive away). Cricket is played virtually all year round in Barbados, but the main season runs from May to December. Good quality regional inter-island games can be seen at the modernized Kensington Oval in Bridgetown (about a 40 minute drive from the property), as well as at a number of the local grounds. These are excellent opportunities to watch some cricket, drink a Banks beer and rub shoulders with many of the past and present stars of Barbados and West Indies cricket. Whatever the game, rest assured that you will be welcomed at any ground that you come across where a game is taking place!

Golf in Barbados: There are numerous golf courses to enjoy in Barbados. The acclaimed 18-hole Barbados Golf Club is located only about 20 minutes by car from the villa. The Barbados Golf Club, located at Durants in the southern parish of Christ Church, is popular in Barbados with local players as well as visitors. The course was approved and sanctioned by the PGA European Tour to host a PGA Seniors Tournament in 2003 and it has also hosted the Barbados Open on several occasions. In additional, the 9-hole Rockley Golf Course, the oldest Golf Club in Barbados is situated on a premier residential development on the South Coast of Barbados. Rockley is about a 25 minute drive from the villa. Not forgetting golf at Sandy Lane on the West Coast of Barbados. With 45 holes of golf on three courses, Sandy Lane offers wonderful golf for players of all skill levels.

Just what we were looking for...

Emma, Peter, and family United States
Review Submitted: May 21, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
When we first arrived at Altamar, we were truly impressed. The villa was spacious and perfect for our family. I don't just mean the size and bedrooms, but the grounds, the location, and above all the feeling of the place. We had a full moon the first night there and we all swam in Sharks Hole under the moonlight. Spectacular. A few people in our party have lived in Hawaii for several years, so staying in a house all done up and with a pool was definitely not what we were looking for. We wanted a villa that captured the island and allowed us to be a part of our surroundings. Altamar did this perfectly. The neighborhood was lovely and reminded me of the area I lived in Hawaii; quiet, local, and away from the touristy spots. Yet it was so easy to get around and drive to the highlights, like Oistens. We were there for my sisters wedding at the Crane, so the location was also perfect for me to make the frequent trips there and spend time with other relatives on Crane beach. My family and I are already talking about when we can all get to Barbados again and stay at Altamar. Thanks Sharon for such a wonderful place. And thanks, also to Yvette, Hyacinth, and Hazel, for the incredible hospitality.
Owner's Response: We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Altamar. We were confident that our villa would suit you perfectly, given the tranquil setting and location only 5 minutes from the Crane. You are all most welcome to return whenever you're ready to visit Barbados again!

Holiday from Heaven

Andrew H Cambridgeshire
Review Submitted: March 26, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
What a wonderful time we had at Altamar! So peaceful and comfortable. There is everything that you (or at least we) could want.
Breakfasts overlooking the Atlantic at the bottom of the garden, lunches mostly out and about the island, cocktails on the way back via a fish market and barbecue back at Altamar. The local rum shop beckoned after that. - You won't get a friendlier reception anywhere in the world.
The villa is spacious with a very relaxed atmosphere, having a very large lounge / dinning room - not that we ever ate indoors! Bedrooms follow in the same way being very roomy. We found all we wanted in the kitchen (mostly the blender for cocktails!)
Most of our time was spent in the shady covered patio or on the deck which had a choice of furniture to suit our mood, either comfortable swivel chairs for conversation or reading or expansive sunbeds for taking the glare off our lilly-white bodies!
Swimming in Sharks Hole (at the end of the garden) was the best way of keeping cool and it was so convenient to have the outdoor shower to rinse off before stretching out on the sunloungers again.
We hired a Daihatsu Terios from Stoutes Hire and it was perfect for four adults to tour the island.
We had been told that Oistins fish fry (Friday and Saturday evenings) was a must and so it turned out to be. -An evening filled with music, fun and food.
Another glorious outing was 'Cool Runnings' - a luxurious all included catamaran sail up the west coast from Bridgetown with stops for snorkelling with more fish than you could imagine and also, of course, the turtles.
Sounds like Heaven to you? It was for us.
Owner's Response: Andy, your review captures everything that we also love about Altamar. We're so pleased that you all had such a great time.

Winter Golf Break

Ray N United Kingdom
Review Submitted: February 8, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Great location with fantastic views and nice breeze to keep heat down.

Lovely well maintained accomodation and gardens with great support from Yvonne the local agent.

Extremely relaxing and many late evenings on the sun deck sampling the local Mountgay rum!

Nice protected beach area for swimming on the edge of the property.

Only 20 minutes from Barbados Golf Club.

Oistins is a great place at weekend for Seafood.

We are hoping for a repeat performance.

Ray and the lads
Owner's Response: Glad that we could help with the golf Ray, sounds like it worked out really well. Hope you can make it out to Altamar again soon.

Priceless view

Pops 45 Great Barr, Birmingham, England
Review Submitted: August 20, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Altamar is in Long Bay, St. Philip and situated next to Shark's Hole (which is regularly visited by by residents and visitors alike). The property boasts a view of the Atlantic Ocean that is absolutely breath-taking. The villa itself is comfortable with and has three good size bedrooms, a roomy kitchen, and easy access to Shark's Hole, which is like having your own swimming pool in the back garden. It is useful to have your own transport as this gives you more access to some of the activities that are in Barbados. Stoutes Car Rental provide a very good service with a wide range of vehicles for hire. A must see for everyone is Harrison's Cave. The cave has to be seen to be believed! The natural formation of stalagtites and stalagmites, the natural flowing water and the history behind it, made it the highlight of our stay. Ocean Park is great for the chidlren to visit, especially at feeding times, when they can feed the rays and watch the sharks, baracudas and piranahs being fed. Overall this was an lovely break and a lovely place to take it.
Owner's Response: We're glad you had a great time at Altamar and in Barbados and hope we can welcome you back in the future.

Prospective guests please note that although the main villa has three bedrooms (mentioned in the review), there is an additional 4th bedroom with bathroom available in the separate cottage adjacent to the villa.

Incredible

tye toronto canada
Review Submitted: July 8, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
My wife and I had an incredible time at Altamar. The location couldn't be more perfect. incredible views, amazing sharks hole beach. Great snorkelling (on calm days). My wife is pregnant so the reef makes it possible for her to swim, as the other local beaches are too rough most of the time. Rented a car and toured up west coast one day and east coast another. Far better to visit those places and come home to your peaceful huge back patio and chill out with a rum and coke and watch the waves break on the rocks in your backyard!
Owner's Response: We're really pleased you both had such a great time. Glad you feel the same as us about the South East coast of Barbados. Hope we can welcome you back to Altamar in the not too distant future!
