5 STARS ACROSS THE BOARD
4 couples from Ontario Canada, stayed Jan. 13 - 20, '23 at the Jessamine Villa. Chris Worth of Tropical Island Rentals was our primary contact with respect to booking the Jessamine Villa and making all the arrangements with Blue Sky Luxury Property Rentals as on-site property management. The Jessamine is absolutely stunning. 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, full size kitchen, large living room, dining room, TV room, beautiful garden, ample parking and not to forget the best part of the property - the amazing private pool and backyard patio. Evening security officer (Tyrone), house cook (Sandra) and the housekeeper (forgotten her name), they were all so accommodating. As we are foodies and a few of us love to cook, we worked collaboratively with Sandra to make some awesome dishes together. We combined Sandra's expertise on the flavours of Barbados with our love to make Canadian styled Tim Horton Farmer's Wraps to create an awesome breakfast 'Barbados Wrap.' LOL. It was a treat to see the monkeys arrive like clock work each afternoon to feed on the neighbouring mango trees. We did have an issue with a slight smell of sewage emanating from the pool patio area. We called the property management who promptly sent a septic serviceman to resolve the issue (believe it was a plugged pipe). Additionally, we called for additional light bulbs to replace a couple that had burned out in the pool patio area as well as for an extension cord to power up a laptop so we could stream sports outside on the patio and maintenance were promptly on scene to action these requests. Can't speak highly enough of the great service. Beds were comfortable. AC units in the bedrooms worked great and were really quiet. Housekeeping kept our linens clean, beds made and even did our entire groups laundry during our stay. Now that's service. LOL. Trips into both Holetown and Speightstown to resupply on beer, wine and food were a lot of fun. There was plenty of parking for our rental van and car. Gibbes Beach was only a 5 minute walk away and the beach and waters were so enjoyable. We came away feeling we'd received great amenities and services for the price we'd paid. I'd definitely recommend the services of both Chris Worth at Tropical Island Rentals and the property management of Blue Sky Luxury Rentals along with a 2 thumbs up and 5 star rating of the Jessamine Villa.
