About this property

'Island Breeze' - luxurious private villa, lovely views & excellent facilities

'Island Breeze' enjoys an elevated location over 100 meters above the Caribbean sea on the gated Vuemont lifestyle estate. Guests enjoy superb views of the west coast and rolling landscapes of the surrounding St Peter district. Our large, enclosed and private patio which faces the 'trade winds', is brushed year round by cooling breezes.

There are three pools at Vuemont. The infinity pool and jacuzzi are located at the clubhouse, a short stroll from our front door on level ground. Tennis enthusiasts can enjoy two floodlit tennis courts, also close to 'Island Breeze’. There is a fully fitted gym and walking routes on the estate.

‘Island Breeze’ villa is 1,560 square feet (145 square meter) and furnished to the highest quality with our personal touches, providing a Caribbean island feel. The open-plan, fully equipped, spacious kitchen links through to the dining and living areas, patio and garden.

Island Breeze sleeps a maximum of 6 guests. The main bedroom with king size bed is en-suite with bath and shower. Bedrooms 2 and 3 have a queen and two single beds respectively, sharing a large bathroom with walk-in shower. There are ceiling fans, several stand up fans, and if required, air conditioning in the bedrooms. There is ample hanging and shelf space in all bedrooms, with hangers provided. All linen and towels including those for beach use, plus a cooler and shatter-proof drink-ware for use at the pools or on trips. Welcome groceries, a supply of cleaning materials, household requirements including toilet tissue and soap are provided for your arrival.

We provide a pre-paid mobile phone for local calls, which you can top-up at the nearby supermarket; Wi-Fi, TV, radio and a DVD player. Our property manager will meet you on arrival, or leave the keys at the gate, and can advise on additional services. We can accommodate children under 10 years of age and the villa has a travel cot. Except for one step from the patio door to the garden, there are no steps in 'Island Breeze', and there is wheel chair access throughout Vuemont Estate.

For groceries, there is a well-stocked supermarket 1km from Vuemont. In nearby Speightstown there is a fish market and many other other shopping options. Holetown, about 15 minutes away, has Lime Grove Mall, and a well-appointed movie theatre. Fresh fruit and produce is also found at road-side stalls and at weekend markets.

Our drive has space for two vehicles. 24-hour security is provided by Vuemont estate and we have grills on bedroom windows and the front door to provide additional security.

Diverse water and other sports, country walks, tours, sightseeing, history, culture, music shows and festivals, great cuisine - can all be part of your visit to Barbados.

You are recommended to rent a vehicle for your stay. Vuemont provide a free return bus service several days a week to west coast locations.

Even better than advertised
Island Breeze is even better than advertised. Claire, Martin, and their staff were extraordinarily welcoming and helpful, especially in helping us when our arrival was delayed. The villa was extremely well equipped, with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture, free wireless and TV. The proximity to the pool was a bonus, as was the breezy balcony overlooking a beautiful view of flowers and the ravine. The effective ceiling fans made the bedroom air conditioners unnecessary. The landscaping, setting, and condition of the exterior make Island Breeze one of the most attractive villas in Vuemont. We would gladly stay there again and recommend it highly.

Wonderful
We stayed at Island Breeze for 6 weeks this past winter. It was important to us to be in a place that had all the comforts of home due to the length of our visit. Island Breeze was certainly such a place. Everything we needed and wanted was available and in very good condition. We have stayed in numerous VRBO’s in the past, and Island Breeze would rank amongst the best. Vuemont is a lovely little community. We enjoyed meeting many owners and other renters during our time at the pool and during the weekly community “get together” held in the community center across the street from the villa. The owners, Malcolm and Claire were very helpful and in good communication with us, as was Kavell, the property manager. It was obvious to us that they all wanted our visit to be an enjoyable one. Thank you Malcom and Claire. We hope to be able to visit your beautiful villa again in the near future. Carol and Brian

DWP CARES dive trip
Four of us stayed at Island Breeze on a recent dive and research trip. The hosts and property manager were super accommodating, kind, knowledgeable and helpful in orienting. The property is well-appointed, making it easy to prepare meals and relax on downtime. Comfortable, homey and truly breezy, most things that you’d need—that you could think of and wouldn’t travel with (including some spices)—are on hand. Also great that there’s laundry and that beach and pool towels, etc. are provided. You’ll receive copious details from the hosts in advance, and have ease in exchanging communications with everyone, as needed. The gated community is somewhat rural, situated near Speightstown — where there are a few restaurants, small secluded beaches, groceries and gas nearby. The infinity pool offers nice sunset vistas. If you’re planning time in Bridgetown or points south, give yourself plenty of time for traffic during daily rush hours. Bringing a fire stick may be handy, if you want live TV… and on the outro, the property manager was an amazing help on logistics, even suggesting a taxi service to pick up one of us for an early flight. Really pleasant stay. We were prepared for several dive days in Barbados. Thank you!

Excellent house
We've been to Barbados a few times but this was the best house we've stayed in with the best facilities. A true home from home with the sun and a large pool 60 seconds walk away. Vuemont is well placed to visit many places in the north of the island and Speightstown still retains its old Bajan charm. A good choice of beaches nearby and much easier to access than those around and south of Holetown.

Dream holiday.
This was our second visit to Barbados. Island Breeze is a beautiful holiday home and in a perfect location. The pool is great and our children loved splashing around on a daily basis. The house is spacious and we all loved sitting out on the veranda having breakfast. Our only 2 points about the house are a dishwasher would make it perfect and sooooo many millipedes and not just small ones. 🐛😂 We would definitely stay here again!!

About the host

Hosted by Claire and Malcolm Hendry

Host profile image
Claire, husband Malcolm and their family are Caribbean nationals who have lived and worked in Barbados, Jamaica and the Commonwealth of Dominica. Our diverse backgrounds reflect in our lifestyle. We enjoy the island way of life, culture and history and the long hours of daylight year round; wonderful climate and food. Our many 'roots' are firmly Caribbean!

Why they chose this property

We enjoy a quiet, relaxed lifestyle on the beautifully landscaped Vuemont estate with pools, gym and tennis courts, year round breeze, and access to the great array of choices that Barbados offers its visitors - a visual, cultural and culinary cornucopia!

'Island Breeze' is furnished as if we live there - it is our island home. If you like cooking, the kitchen has a wide variety of utensils and equipment. We are happy to share this lovely slice of Caribbean island life with like-minded visitors.

What makes this property unique

'Island Breeze' is spacious and due to its elevated location facing the 'trade winds', enjoys cooling breezes for much of the year, a pleasant contrast to many coastal areas. The lovely views, privacy, landscaping, amenities and security at Vuemont help to make this a wonderful vacation location.

'Island Breeze' is a short stroll to the estate's infinity pool, gym and tennis courts. From our patio we enjoy uninterrupted views across one of Barbados' famous gully's (dry valley) to All Saints Church in one direction, and from the front of the house, the Caribbean sea.

We are 20 minutes from the capital Bridgetown, still closer to west coast beaches, and many island attractions. Speightstown, which is ten minutes drive away, and Holetown, 15 minutes, have beaches, shopping, a range of restaurants and bars - several of which arrange quality live music at various times of year.

Our home is your home. Come and enjoy. Please treat it with the same love and care!
