We had a wonderful stay overall. The house is in a very charming location, and the views from two of the bedrooms as well as the living room are absolutely stunning—an incredible panoramic view of the ocean. The pool was lovely, and we especially enjoyed spending time on the deck, which was perfect for relaxing. Communication with the owner was fantastic: very responsive and attentive, and we felt well taken care of throughout our stay.A couple of small notes to be aware of: the kitchen appliances are somewhat outdated and could benefit from a refresh. Additionally, the beach visible from the deck was unfortunately covered in significant amounts of seaweed during our entire stay and was not usable. Locals explained that this side of the island often deals with seaweed issues, so we ended up driving daily to the west side of the island, where the beaches were beautiful and offered excellent offshore snorkeling.

We really enjoyed our stay. Farther Away has a wonderful setting with great views and is in a quiet peaceful location with the comforting sounds of the sea breeze and waves. The cottage is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped, it feels like a home. Caroline was very friendly and helpful, her home made punch was potent and delicious! Thank you.

Our host was very communicative and helpful. The location was beautiful overlooking a deserted bay and the peace and quiet apart from the sound of the surf was wonderful. Farther Away is obviously a much loved holiday home and as such has all you need for a comfortable stay. It is out of the way so a hire car is definitely needed to make the most of the island.

Communication with host was excellent. The house had everything we needed, offered spectacular views, and was a great homebase for exploring the island. Many stunning and unspoiled beaches are just a short drive away. The location allowed genuine immersion in Bajan culture. Great trip!

Family Get Away

This was our first trip to Barbados for our annual family trip and staying at Father Away made our trip so much better. The house is so welcoming, we could have stayed there and never explore the island. The house was the perfect place to return to at the end of the day. Falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore below was amazing!

Amazing views!!!!

Very nice property with the most amazing views of the eastern coast. Thr neighborhood was extremely quiet. Pool was exceptionally clean and had great sun. Huge deck with plenty of space for everyone. It’s called farther away and as a result a rental car is a must. Watch out for the pot holes! The host is amazing and checked in with us before and during our stay. We would recommend this place.

Best view of the island

The house was great and clean. The highlight of the place is the amazing view from the patio. We really appreciated it. The host was great and super communication. The only cons is that there was no Air Conditionning so it was pretty warm and humid at night.

First time visit to Barbados

Very non-touristy. The house had an amazing view of the cliffs and ocean. Near constant breeze made the 80-85 degree temp very comfortable. Driving can be intimidating for the first few days

Farther Away

This home was everything it’s described to be. A feeling of being away. The ever present sound of the ocean….the delicious cool breezes….the unforgettable views….all lead to a feeling of being away from it all. Super relaxing. Caroline was there for us at 1am when we landed and tended to all our needs.

Stunning views and amazing sunrises

My husband and I had an amazing time at Farther Away. The privacy was just what we needed! We loved waking up to the view of the ocean and the spectacular sunrise. We had everything we needed in the cottage and Caroline went above and beyond as a host coming out to find us after we got lost. She was always available if we were looking for suggestions or directions for food and entertainment. We look forward to returning to Farther Away! Thank you for everything Caroline!

Farther Away Takes You Where You Want To Be

It was a joy to stay here for three weeks. The constant Barbados sun and the sea breezes off the Atlantic cured our winter blues. The owners have thought of everything you could need including the amazing rum punch. Farther Away is decorated with an array of Caribbean colours, inside and out, making it a happy place. We did not need air conditioning because of the Atlantic sea breezes. A few things that surprised us - you can drink the water from the tap, the internet is great, neighbours are friendly, and the house is eco-friendly.

Fabulous Getaway

This is a villa for people who want to sample the real Barbados on the unspoiled east coast. Your neighbours are friendly locals and sometimes grazing goats! The view from the balcony is spectacular and it's where we enjoyed all our meals and rum punch! We rented a car [ highly recommended ] so it was easy to explore all the natural beauty of the rugged east coast The villa was large, airy and well equipped without a need for air conditioning as the ocean breezes kept everything very comfortable Caroline and her husband own and manage the property and are excellent hosts, they respond quickly to any requests For a completely relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable vacation in Barbados you can't beat Farther Away
