I would highly recommend staying here! Itâs a fabulous spacious house in a great position, a short ride to some fantastic restaurants and beaches. Bruce was informative and responsive pre trip with any questions we had and Lorraine the property manager was brilliant once we were there. Youâll need to hire a car while you are here to get about the island but there are also local buses aplenty up and down the coastal road.
House was as advertised and easily accommodated our six person group. Location great and a relatively short walk to beach and beach bars. Property Manager Lorraine could not have been more helpful - in advance with options for transport and experiences - and during the visit when I had considerable difficulties with lost luggage. She called BA on a number of occasions herself which was very much appreciated (even if in vainâŠ). Can recommend our drivers also - Charlie and David.
Beautiful property. Lots of space for extended family. Spotlessly clean and in great condition. Lovely people, very helpful and speedy communications. Very easy to get to 2 fabulous beaches. Highly recommend this property. We're hoping to return.
The property is above and beyond all of the photos. Itâs very spacious, well equipped and beautifully furnished. Our grandchildren loved the large pool as did we. Lorraine, the property manager was so helpful in answering all our questions before our arrival and after.
Accommodations were completely as advertised. The manager Loraine was very accommodating. She hooked us up with a baby high chair , crib at the house was a full side Pack n play , so up to all safety codes. Lorraine also assisted in securing a Chef for one evening. Delicious. Also housekeepers cleaned every inch of the house
This property was amazing, we had a lovely holiday in a beautiful place.
The owner and the manager were so helpful and made the stay really relaxed. Lorraine helped us book some great outings and was available throughout to contact if we needed anything.
I'd totally recommend this property.
This villa is perfect for a family or group holiday. We were a group of 2 families with toddlers and it was just what we wanted.
Great size, amazing pools and lovely location. Car needed for sure with kids but everything is very accessible and close.
This is our fourth visit to Gibbes Glade, property is just as wonderful as the first time. Immaculately maintained, and in a fabulous position for two of the best beaches on the West Coast. Lorraine, the property manager, is extremely helpful, and the owner, Bruce, communicates incredibly quickly.
We are already looking forward to our next trip to the villa!
Lovely spaces for relaxing together or having personal time - loved the balconies and patio. Good to have the choice between indoor and outdoor dining. Well maintained grounds and pool.
Such a wonderful property and close to 2 amazing beaches. Bruce was very responsive and accommodating. Lorraine, the Property Manager was prompt and informative. The house had everything you could possibly need to feel at home.
Recent stay at Gibbes Villa with myself and 4 friends⊠The place was clean and tidy and the reality was very much in keeping with the images on line.
The Property Manager, Lorraine was very helpful before, and during our stay, with nothing being too much trouble.
Perfect for our needs, and we would definitely return⊠Excellent value for moneyâŠ
Lovely villa. Lorraine, the property manager was lovely and contact with the owner beforehand was great.
Unfortunately, there were builders and digging in the villa opposite for a few days, which was a little annoying!
Would stay again.
Excellent location, walking distance to beach and beach bar was a big thing for us.
The villa was immaculate and well equipped
Lorraine the property manager was so lovely and very helpful nothing any trouble our host also very helpful before our trip
Will definitely be booking again !!
Loraine, the house manager,was very professional and attentive.
She helped us set up a cook to come to house and cook local food. We so enjoyed it.
We loved that we could walk to the beach and the buses run nearby so we didnât need a car.
Everything as was expected and clearly documented. With small children staying at the property, the safe and spacious guest house, both inside and outside provided ample space for enjoyment. Thank you.
The house was so beautiful and bright. The hosts have thought of every little detail and thing you could possibly need on your stay. The checking process was smooth and Lorraine was very helpful. The pool was perfect and my daughter loved it and we all made great use of the outside space as well as the BBQ. Would highly recommend and would love to return someday. Thanks for helping to make wonderful family memories đ„°
Our stay was very enjoyable. The property Manager Lorraine was extremely helpful. On our first day while driving to the supermarket, our rental car hit a pothole and damaged both front and rear left tires. After many phone calls to car rental company it took about two hours to send help. In the meanwhile, Lorraine was kind enough to drive to our location, help us with car rental company and then went out of her way to take us to the convenience store and then back to the villa.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were great for our family of 6 adults and 2 young children and the villa was great as an outdoor living villa, opening up to a good back patio and pool area. Weâve been to the Gibbs/Mullins area several times before and the villa location in Gibbs Glade meant we knew the area, with easy access to the beautiful Gibbs beach. Lorraine the property manager was great - we didnât have much cause to contact her during our stay except for one thing and she attended to that quickly. She was also really helpful in resolving a last minute issue with something we left behind - thanks again Lorraine! There did seem to be quite a bit of construction going on in the area and so some mornings could be a bit noisy, though neither the property owner nor manager have any control over that of course. It did make me wonder whether thereâs any scope to limit such activity during peak tourist season, given how vital tourism is to the island. It was overall a much anticipated vacation, over all too soon of course. Weâd certainly love to come back sometime!
We were a group of 3 couples staying at Gibbs Villa before boarding a ship in Bridgetown. It had everything we needed and was in a very nice location. There were a couple of restaurants within walking distance as were the beaches and the garage up the road was very handy for essentials. There was a convenient cut though to Highway 1 which was handy and we caught a reggae reggae bus a couple of times, an experience in itself. My husband and I being the eldest of the 3 couples think a car would have been beneficial to get around a bit more, but perhaps thatâs our age! Lorraine the villa manager couldnât have been more helpful and purchased some essential shopping for when we first arrived and arranged for Dave the taxi driver to pick us up at the airport and to take us to the port on our departure. Our only negative was it would have been nice to have some cushions on the outside dining chairs as we spent a whole lot of time sitting on them chatting and eating/drinking and they were a bit hard after a while! Other than that thank you Bruce for the use of your villa.
Built and designed by the owner in 2015 capturing the colonial history & Messel style common throughout the Caribbean and Barbados, but with modern style and comforts.
The West Coast of Barbados, otherwise known as the Platinum Coast, hosts the best beaches on the island. Sandy bays with easy swimming in the warm Caribbean sea. Gibbs Glade is in a quiet residential neighbourhood close to two of the best beaches, Mullins & Gibbs, which between them offer sports & solitude. Being one step back from the busy coast road makes it quiet & private but still convenient for attractions.
The house is well proportioned, but its style & design gives it the presence of a much larger building. The gardens are private and match the size of the house, together with the pool. The design, with the vaulted & galleried central hall gives for a spectacular arrival and allows the sea breezes to circulate through the villa. The living areas are spacious throughout, including bedrooms, kitchen & balconies.
