Rent from owners direct in Barbados

We have been lucky enough to own a property on this beautiful island since 2005 and ran a very successful holiday rental business, but with a growing family (3 young boys of 8, 10 and 13), we decided to sell our beloved 2-bed apartment and buy a much larger 3-bed townhouse that was within walking distance to the beach and was a dream come true for us! We will continue our holiday home rental business with this new property and hope to be able to appeal to larger families or groups of friends / couples as it is very spacious and lends itself perfectly due to having 3 en-suite bedrooms! We hope you like it as much as we do! My profile pic above is me drinking my fave tipple when in Barbados - Rum punch .. our favourite beach bar 'Surfside'. 'Palm View' is in such a great location - only 2 minutes walk to the main west coast road (where you can hop on the local buses to take you literally anywhere on the island for a couple of dollars!) and just a few minutes walk to the white sand, turquoise waters of the west coast beach. Yet when you sit with your kindle in the back garden, you can only hear the twittering of birds and the odd scerfuffle from a group of passing green monkeys! The property is light and airy with a tropical feel - wherever possible, we have sourced all locally produced furniture (all the wooden furniture has been hand made locally by 1 man!). We have tried to decorate with beautiful artwork from local artists (the parrot in the dining area is a favourite commission piece from Batik artist Henderson Reece) but with a few little touches from home too! The house has a welcoming, homely feel as you enter, because that is exactly what it is! It is our home from home and we hope you will enjoy its charms and amenities as much as us! You will see palm trees from every window - hence the name of the villa :-) The quiet gated community is safe and secure, hidden away from the traffic of highway 1 and is a really peaceful place to relax by the lovely communal pool and meet fellow holidaymakers, or if you are feeling energetic, the newly resurfaced tennis court beckons! There are lots of lovely tropical plants dotted around the well kept grounds and a nice sense of community.

My wife & I have 3 adult children with 5 Grandchildren, 4 boys & a girl. We first went to Barbados with my sister-in-law & her husband in April 2008. We were stopping in a place owned by a close relative. My wife & I just loved Barbados & wanted to return on a regular basis. I asked a local man who helped look after the place we were staying in, if he knew of anywhere for sale. He took me up to Vuemont where our apartment was the show room apartment at that time. We immediately fell in love with it & the fantastic sea views. We bought the actual show room apartment later that year. Our apartment is situated on the Vuemont residential community, which has over 70 properties privately owned. Many of the properties are strictly private & are not rented as Holiday Properties. We only rent our apartment for holidays to contribute towards it's running costs.

Hi, I am Jan and I look forward very much to welcoming you and your family to Sungold House. Truly a family run business, we (my husband Gary and I) have been welcoming guests from all over the world since 2007. Barbadian by birth, I have lived in the UK and had the opportunity to visit the USA, Canada, France, Belgium, most of the islands in the Caribbean and look forward to visiting many more countries around the world. I love meeting people which makes this job a very pleasurable one. Come on over, enjoy a home cooked meal with us; visit our favorite watering holes, meet the locals, enjoy a game of dominoes with a cold Banks Beer. Or just hang out by the pool. Can't wait to meet you and add you to our "friends" list. Jan

I am a Barbadian who lives in the South of England. I enjoy sharing my property with visitors from overseas to allow them to have a relaxing and pleasurable holiday on my island home.
