House near Cattlewash Beach - Barbados east coast.

it's a small wooden house a couple of minutes walk from the beautiful rugged east coast beach of Cattlewash. The house consists of a large open plan living room with a bedroom on either side, both with air-conditioning. All three rooms open onto a wide, spacious verandah with a view of the sea. The main bedroom has a handmade four-poster bed and a walk-through wardrobe into an ensuite shower; the second bathroom is adjacent to the second bedroom, with a queen size bed. There is a lovely intimate porch at the back where you can have meals if the sun is too much out front or if it's raining! The house is enclosed in a small tropical garden, with a bougainvillea hedge for privacy. It's located in the pleasant development of Atlantic Park - ie everyone is there for the peace, the view and the sound of the waves.

About the location

In a densely populated island, Cattlewash is a haven of tranquillity. Though more built up than it used to be, it retains its old-world pace and charm. At night it's properly dark and you can see the stars. You can walk for miles on Cattlewash beach or, if you're adventurous, in the hills behind it. it's not safe to swim this side of the island - reefs and currents - but at low tide you can wallow in rock pools. Meanwhile, the nearest west coast beach (Heywards) is a 25 minute drive away on well-tarred empty roads, while the shopping centre of Holetown (and its nearby beaches) is 30 minutes by a rural road across the middle of the island. The lovely fishing village of Bathsheba is just next door, with hotels, cafes and great walks. It's a unique spot.
