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!!

Island Paradise

Island Breeze is extremely comfortable and well equipped- the best villa of several we have stayed in at Vuemont. There are wonderful views over the garden and the wooded gully and if you’re lucky you will see green monkeys in the trees. The main swimming pool is just a couple of minutes away. The hosts and property manager are excellent, communicating well and very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Claire and Malcolm Hendry

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!
