St James, Gibbes, Barbados

Enjoying breathtaking ocean views from its idyllic beach-front location in Gibbs Glade, Saint Peter, is this luxury 3 storey, 4 bedroom chalet style beach house set in lush tropical gardens with pool.

This charming property is built of bleached timber with a shingle roof and has a unique rustic ambience. It is set over three floors with a charming spiral staircase connecting all levels. You enter the villa at mid level over a small wooden bridge, and are immediately taken over by the stunning Ocean views.

This entrance level and the upper floor are built entirely of wood, with wooden floors, walls and exposed pickled pine ceiling. An informal sitting area with Cable TV and DVD has been recently decorated to provide laid-back comfort.

Towards the beach are large picture windows and shutters. These open to provide excellent pool and sea views (child safety bars have been installed for use as required). Two of the bedrooms are located off the sitting room. The master bedroom and a second bedroom are both en suite with king size beds.

A spiral staircase connects all floors and leads up to a charming third bedroom with king size bed located in the loft space. It has an en suite bathroom with shower. All bedrooms are comfortably furnished with air-conditioning.

The spiral staircase also leads downstairs to a well equipped kitchen with a small dining alcove. On this level is the fourth bedroom with an en suite bathroom (note this bedroom is suitable for single occupancy only).

A door leads out to the enclosed garden which is surrounded by mature trees, providing shade and privacy. There is a good size swimming pool and deck with sun loungers and an alfresco dining area with a gazebo. Another covered area features a built-in coral stone bar and a barbecue. A gorgeous stretch of beach is just a few steps away through an arched gateway and there is a wall mounted shower for rinsing off and crystal blue water that is excellent for swimming.

There are few properties on the west coast in such a lovely position as this. Gibbes beach is one of the most beautiful and tranquil beaches on the west coast of Barbados. it is much sought after. The location is also ideal because it is not far from Mullins beach where there are some excellent beach restaurants and a short drive from historic Speightstown.
