Photos and Description of the Hastings vacation villa rental
Private. Quite. Spacious. Relaxing. Pool. Gardens. Internet/office

Spacious and cool - 1 900 sq ft - representing excellent value for money.

Very central - 5/10 mins - for beaches, entertainment, golf, supermarkets, St Lawrence Gap, Garrison, Oistins and Bridgetown. Easy to get about and meet up during the day, avoiding traffic.

Quiet and private - located on a ridge at the end of a no-through road, looking out to sea.

Fantastic 180 degree view over trees to the sea beyond.

Large pool immediately in front of the house.

Veranda/ master bedroom - sea view. Other bedrooms - pool view.

Small select, secure residential (non-tourist) development with full-time gardeners and night-time security guard. Extensive, well kept grounds. Feel like you live in Barbados.

Office/work area, Free internet.

Whole house, including the veranda, netted against mosquitoes.

We seek to encourage repeat visitors - we regularly stay in our home and ensure that everything is maintained to a high standard.

Friendly agent to help you.

Beaches, sea, golf, cricket nearby: Ridge View is centrally located for beaches, the historical Garrison area and horse racing course, restaurants and the St Lawrence Gap and Oistins entertainment areas. It is within easy reach of two golf courses and is well place for supermarkets and other shops. Golf, cricket, sailing, snorkelling, walking, jogging, scuba-diving, surfing, boat charters, fishing and many other activities are all near by.

The three closest beaches are:

Carlisle Bay: wonderful for walking (1 mile long) and swimming. There is also a marine reserve with wrecks and many fish - and often turtles. This can be reached from the shore.

Drill Hall/Hilton: this is a beautiful beach which is used by local surfers and boogie boarders. It is also the main nesting site for turtles on the island. You may see both turtles laying eggs and the eggs hatching and the young turles racing down the the sea.

Accra/Rockley: popular beach - good for enjoying the surf. Boardwalk goes from Accra to Drill Hall.

Private, quiet, peaceful location: We stay at Ridge View each year and check that everything is maintained to a high standard. Based on suggestions from our guests, we have added improvements to make your stay more enjoyable.

Located in a ridge overlooking the south coast, the house has a 180 degree panoramic view. The select development where it is located consists principally of owner-occupied and long-term tenanted properties. It is therefore very quiet and peaceful. It represents a cool, green oasis to return to after a day at the beach. There is also the option of just lazing at home on the veranda or by the pool. The house is fully screened against insects - especially mosquitos.

Near Wanders Cricket Ground and the Oval Cricket Stadium. You can see cricket matches at Wanders from our balcony - bring your binoculars if you are a cricket fan.

The Barbados Yacht Club and the Garrision horse racing track are both very near - you can walk down in the mornings to watch the horses training.

- Spacious: 1 900 sq ft of floor space, large pool and extensive grounds.

- Fully furnished with a large kitchen and living room.

- Office/work area with desk, bookshelves, phone and internet - work or just stay in touch during your stay.

- Local agent to assist you during your stay.

- Daily professional pool maintenance and cleaning.

- Extensive tropical gardens.

- Reserved parking for two cars.

- Security gate at entrance.

- Gardeners on site during the day; security guard on duty at night.

We arrived on a late flight and were met by Shaun, the taxi driver used by the agents. He was really helpful and even came with us to the supermarket after we had checked in at the house, as we were unsure of driving around at night on our first evening. The house is well represented by the photographs on the site and we found it very easy to settle in. Some really good beaches are very nearby (a car is recommended). I'm keen on beach walking and particularly enjoyed going down to Carlisle Bay in the late afternoon - it is a mile long from one end to the other and the sand is flat and firm: ideal for walking. It's also a good location for snorkelling, as there is a marine reserve.

Restaurants and supermarkets are nearby. Michael provided a list of recommendations and we especially liked 'Shakers' in Browne's Gap - we went there twice during our stay. There are also some good family restaurants in The Gap. We also went to the drive-in cinema one evening - again on Michael's recommendation, which was a great experience and I would recommend it.

The house was cool and breezy and we didn't need to use the airconditioning. The pool and gardens were well maintained and the site was very quiet - I think a lot of the residents were away overseas during the holiday period, which was great for us.

A very relaxing stay and a great way to escape the winter weather for a couple of weeks.
Owner's Response: We pleased that you enjoyed your stay so much. A number of guests have commented about Shaun's helpfulness; our agents recommend that he meets guests at the airport, so that they can get to the house easily, the first time. They can also arrange for a rental car to be waiting at the house for you when you arrive.

Nice place to stay

This house was big enough for the whole family and had air conditioning!! It was overlooking the sea but you will need a car to get about. Very quiet and with a beautiful view. For us it was ideally placed on the island, near our friends and relatives, the Garrison racecourse and a 7 minute drive to the Yacht Club. Has everything you need.

The property was clean but we hit a bank holiday and did have difficulty getting the maid service but it was sorted with a quick phone call.

I would highly recommend this property
Owner's Response: We look forward to welcoming you and your family again at our house. Michael

Home away from home

We were a family group of 4 and have visited Barbados a number of times. Michael's house was the best place we have stayed in so far: he was very helpful with all the preliminaries before we arrived and we were also in contact with his agents, who were helpful and pleasant and were there to check us in when we arrived. The villa is really nice, it is spacious and airy and had everything that we needed. As we like to cook, we asked for an extra set of kitchen knives and these were provided the same day. The view from the house is fanastic and I think you have difficulty finding a better one. We really enjoyed sitting on the veranda at all times of the day. The pool is just in front of the house - as shown in the photos. Our children liked to go to Accra Beach most days, which was less than 5 minutes drive and to St Lawrence Gap ... it cost $20 Barbados for a taxi home, so we didn't have to go and pick them up. Supermarkets, restaurants etc are all nearby, A really great holiday!
Owner's Response: Dear Jane,

I'm very pleased that you and your family enjoyed your stay in our house. As it is our second home, and we visit twice a year, we try and ensure that everything that we like to use is also available for our guests. Our agents are happy to arrange for any additional items that guests may feel that they would like, in the kitchen for example, as the chances are that these will also be appreciated by others.

I agree that the location and view from our house are really special: I often think of this on cold winter days, as it gives me a boost ... along with thinking about my early morning walks on the beach.

Michael

Ridgeview is a light and airy house which was very welcome during a hot and humid two weeks in August.The house is well appointed and we very quickly felt at home. Our party consisted of five adults and there was plenty of space for all of us.
The central location meant that we were not far away from the south coast beaches, restaurants and nightlife or Bridgetown.
The pool was ideal for lazy days and most of the time we had it to ourselves.
Overall an excellent property and a great holiday!

LOVELY HILL TOP HOME - UNBEATABLE LOCATION

  • Submitted: Mar 31, 2012
  • Stayed: Mar 2012
Hello Michael,

I really want to thank you for allowing us to share your lovely hilltop home. We saw a lot of the island during our stay but did not see a location we preferred to yours.

There was a mixture of family and friends staying for differing periods during the four weeks we rented your house. We always enjoyed returning to Ridgeview House and during my few days alone I felt safe there.

We thought of it as a cottage comparable to our summer cottage on a lake in northern Ontario, airy and easy to keep clean.

We would like to return for the same month next year, and I hope I can negotiate some dates (and rates) with you.

Thank you again Michael for all your assistance in making our stay in Barbados so wonderful.

Cheers and best wishes,

Guest from Canada

Hello Michael - We were a family group of 6 adults visiting family and friends in Barbados. The house was perfect for our needs. It was very comfortable, spacious and clean. We used the back terrace often, the view off the ridge is very beautiful. Thank you. Canada

WE REALLY DID ENJOY YOUR HOUSE! - IDEALLY PLACED

  • Submitted: May 11, 2011
  • Stayed: May 2011
We had a wonderful time in your house. It was perfectly located for us. First of all, it was very near our relatives. Secondly, as it is just above the Garrison racecourse, we were able to go down to watch the horses train twice a week. Thirdly, it was within 5 minutes by car Carlisle Bay (our ‘spiritual’ home)!! We hired 2 cars that fitted into the 2 parking places. We travel to Barbados very frequently and have rented a few times before but never so ideally placed. Thank you so much again. We really did enjoy your house!

Lovely water and nature view - morning and evening

Thank you for the use of your lovely home. Having driven over most of the island, we realize what a beautiful treasure you have here. We particularly enjoyed your enclosed patio with its lovely water and nature view every morning and evening.

We really enjoyed our vacation in Barbados and your house. It is very conveniently located to everything we wanted to see. Your list of recommendations has also been very useful. We love Carlisle beach so much that we have only used the pool once. Between golf at Rockley and touring we have been quite busy - the time has flown by!
