Beachgate - Luxurious Beach Front Villa with Pool

Staying at Beachgate was perfect for my family. It was large and roomy. The veiw was breathtaking. I have two teenagers, and they loved the fact they could jump in the ocean mere feet from our door.
All of our needs were met-Philip and Tina arranged the taxi to the house; Tina was there to greet us, and they had even left fruit for us. They gave us many pointers that were definitely needed.
I would highly recommend this place if you are planning a visit to Barbados. It is close to Bridgetown, the airport, as well as great places to eat.
A comfortable place, cool atmosphere, great managers. What more can you ask for.

Sitting here on our last day, listening it the bells of the nearby church chime 7:00 am with the back-drop of soothing ocean waves as I sip on my morning coffee pondering all the blessings that I have.
This is our 6th visit to the island of Barbados and our 2nd time staying with Tina and Philip at their Beachgate property. Karma and good fate brought me here last year and will never again stay anywhere else. I pack up to leave, and I am rejuvenated, ready to face the day-to-day trials of our life back in Ottawa ... For another year at least :)
Should good fortune bring you to this listing, do not hesitate, as you will not be disappointed. There is not one thing I could find fault with this lovely home away from home. The accommodations are well represented in the photos. You are close enough to everything you may need and yet far enough away to find peace in watching the world go by around you. In fact, in the last week I have wandered no further than a 10 minute walk in either direction to find our evening meals, when I chose not to cook.
Barbados is an island rich in history. Once you get a Bajan to smile they radiate friendship and goodwill. Getting off the well beaten tourist tracks you will see beauty all around you.
Unfortunately for you, dear reader, I have booked this accommodation for years to come, as my oasis of tranquility the first two weeks of every February.
Not only have I found a place to lay my weary head, I have the honor of calling my hosts friends. Tina and Philip are gems and I thank them for all that they have done to ensure our vacation is nothing short of perfect.

The photographs of Lower Beachgate don't do it justice - you miss the sound of the waves, the hot sunshine and the cool breezes! Everyone ( owners as well as Tina and Philip) was very pleasant and easy to talk to. The house is private, quiet and very clean. So relaxing to be in your "own" place. Nice to open the doors and sit out on the patio with your morning coffee. Perfect location - we went snorkeling every day and would finish off our "beaching" with a dip in the pool. The boardwalk is great for a run or a stroll - or even to sit and visit with others. Some grocery shopping is nearby; the larger store is a pleasant 10-15 minute walk. Word of advice: pay the money for an extra suitcase and load it with food - packaged/tinned- as food costs are high. Rent a car for a day and explore the island - the contrasts between the coasts is amazing. People are very good about directions if you are lost. We would definitely like to come back here or to its sister property beside it.
