As advertised

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the garden and pool were amazing, all the staff were great - Jackie, Annette and Richard. Any small hiccup was dealt with very quickly and efficiently.if you don’t have a car, the hill could be a challenge - we are both in our 80s and could manage it! Many thanks for a great stay.

Hummingbird House, Prospect, St James.

Great property, Plenty of space to move around, Feel like being at home, we felt comfortable immediately. Lovely size pool and gardens. Great view of the sea and sunsets. I would advise hiring a car to get around, shopping, site seeing etc, we like that you can use UK plugs in the extension leads. We told friends & family about the property and pass on details, because they are interested in staying at Hummingbird house when they visit Barbados. Highly recommend.

Superb

I was sceptical when we booked, because the listing looked too good to be true. We needn't have worried, the house is perfect. The downstairs bedroom was ideal for our son, as he has mobility issues. It's comes with everything you could need, even laundry detergent! Annette the cleaner is a joy, the garden is immaculate, the pool, while showing some signs of age, was crystal clear, and great to cool down in after a day in the sun. The location is perfect for the west coast of the island, a car is recommended as there's a cheeky hill to get up from the main road Couldn't recommend it enough. Neil the host is very proactive and friendly, accommodating, even organised some shopping for us, very handy. Love it, we will be back

Barbados Sun

What is advertised is what you get and the pool is a godsend. But the only moan i have is the steep hill to get up if you go out walking. Hiring a car is a must to get around, but buses are frequent and cheap. Had a great time

Relaxing stay at Hummingbird house

We enjoyed our holiday at Hummingbird house, our time was very calm and restful . We enjoyed the pool very much and spent some considerable time at the property just chilling out. Jackie the house manager was on hand at all times , a charming lady who provided as requested our first meal on arrival and an excellent goodie bag to get us going, inc 6 of the local beers ! I can highly recommend hummingbird house and hope to return again soon.

Retiree getaway

Manager, Jacqueline was very accommodating and helpful. Unfortunately a few members of our party contracted Dengue due to the excessive rain which is exceptional for January resulting in more mosquitoes that carried the virus. A suggestion would be to install screens on doors to minimize mosquitoes entering your beautiful home. Hummingbirds was a beautiful home. Having a pool was great.

Perfect Location, accommodation and service !!

I just wanted to pass on my thanks from myself and the family for the stay at Hummingbird. We had a fabulous time – the villa was fantastically equipped – handy when Virgin break your pushchair on the way out ! We didn’t want for anything and Jackie and Annette were fabulous – truly made us feel at home. The gardening and pool team likewise – lovely people who did a great job. The location is superb and we felt safe at all times. We were truly sorry to leave but back to the real world until next time ! Thanks again to you and Jackie and please pass on our thanks and appreciation to the other team also.

Fantastic

Hummingbird House was exactly as described and shown in the photos. It was the perfect base for our holiday being near beaches, shops and facilities on the West Coast. It was equipped with more things (cool bags/ice packs, etc) than I have previously experienced in a rental to make self catering easier. The pool was brilliant for days we didn’t want to go to a beach and the villa had enough space for all of us to relax. We were well looked after by Jackie, she couldn’t have been more helpful, answering queries promptly and checking in on us regularly to make sure everything was fine. And her staff were friendly and polite. This will be our first choice if (when) we return to Barbados.

Hummingbird House was lovely

House was very well equipped with all that you needed. Host greeted us when we got there, showed us around and how things worked, then called and checked on us about 3 days after being there. We enjoyed the private pool in the evenings, and sitting out on the patio. We rented a car, which made it easy to get around and explore, but when booking an excursion, they picked us up right at the house, which was very nice. It was cool to see the monkeys run thru the yard, when sitting out there. The only negative I can give is the crickets are loud at night, and the dog across the street, constantly barking. Otherwise I would highly recommend a stay here.

Perfection

Lovely villa with pool and gardens, in a quiet area which is Convenient for south and west coast. We hired cars for 2 weeks so easy to get about. Jackie the housekeeper is lovely and very attentive, alaso the cleaner Annette was a lovely lady. We were 2 mins drive from La Cabane where we spent a lovely evening food was perfect especially the lamb. We,ve been a few times to Barbados so had already done the usual sightseeing places. We know our favourite places now. But we hadnt been to Harbour Lights so decided to try it. So glad we did as we all enjoyed even our two granddaughters ages 5 and 7. The entertainers worked so hard to put on a show which we all enjoyed. Hoping to be back next year maybe for a longer stay.

Lovely villa with all amenities you could need.

Our stay at hummingbird was lovely. The villa has everything you need and has a beautiful garden and pool. It really felt like a home from home. The beds were so comfortable and air con was lovely at night. Jackie was amazing and was on hand if we ever needed anything. Full of knowledge and willing to help. We didn't need anything though as the villa is packed with everything you could need. Monkeys and chickens visited often, and the sunset view was lovely. We hired a car which was handy to get around, there is a bit of a hill to get to the villa but most people could manage it. The villa felt totally safe as well, not that we felt unsafe in Barbados though. Wonderful place and wonderful people. Would definitely return and would stay at the villa again if we did.

Hummingbird House

Hummingbird House is in a peaceful, relaxing and beautiful garden with great sea views and sunsets.The inside of the house however is very tired, Annette the house maid does a great job cleaning. Jackie the manager was very helpful, quick on hand to deal with any issues. We had several plumbing issues although we fixed the downstairs toilet ourselves on the first day and the front door lock was replaced immediately during our stay. The BBQ was unusable and had to be fixed by Richard the gardener (Richard does a great job with the garden), made a makeshift grill, the BBQ is old and one leg has a seashell to prop it up and although we were able to have several BBQ's it really needs replacing. The plastic table around the pool is old and weathered and there was no parasol, the pool area gets very hot with no shade so it would be good to have a parasol as pictured online.The pool was lovely but small blue tiles are coming off in the pool, the steps and bottom of the pool have erroded paint in many areas. Despite this we had a lovely holiday. We would highly recommend hiring a car for people who may find the hill steep.

Fantastic house in a great location

We stayed at Hummingbird House for 10 days in November and had a fantastic time. The house manager is lovely and very helpful, the house was perfectly clean with great A/C in the bedrooms, and the pool is fantastic. Loads of wildlife around you as you stay, great views and a good location for accessing the rest of Barbados! The house is a great location for accessing the West Cover and with a taxi you can get to places like Harrisons Cave within 20-30 minutes. If you're booking trips around the island with a transfer you can get picked up from Waves about five minutes walk away, there is also a well stocked supermarket within walking distance and both Bridgetown/Holetown are 10-15 minutes by taxi/car. There's a couple of bus stops within five minutes walk, the buses are regular and cheap to get around. There's a lovely beach at the bottom of the road, you can see the sea from the house and several excellent restaurants (La Cabane at Batt's Rock Beach, QB Bistro/The Cliff, and Il Tempio) within 15-20 minutes walk or a few minutes by car. You can go paddleboarding at Paynes Bay and I'd recommend the Submarine trip near Bridgetown!

Wonderful home, very child friendly

We stayed at this property with four adults and two children. The home was large enough so that we didn't feel on top of each other. As we were there in Sept/Oct, it was very hot and humid. The air conditioning in the bedrooms made sleep possible and comfortable. The furnishings and beds were very nice, and it was especially helpful to have a washer/dryer for all the laundry children produce. The pool and play-set was lovely for the kids during the day when we were home and the adults enjoyed the pool after dark to cool off. As we did not rent a car, we were pleased that the home was well-situated to a couple of beaches and there was frequent and reliable public transportation on the main road. There is also a grocery store within a 5-10 minute walk. If we wanted to go somewhere further, William, a taxi driver down the road, was extremely nice and helpful. All-in-all, we had a wonderful experience and would stay there again. Now if someone could do something about the mozzies...

Perfect base for the beautiful Island of Barbados

We were a party of 5, 4 adults and my 13 year old daughter, we found Hummingbird House a perfect location for getting around the Island. The house was spotless and had everything we needed and Jackie the house manager was always only a call away if we ever needed anything. The pool is a amazing addition that we made great use of. Overall I can't sing the praises of this property enough it was perfect.

Fabulous time

We have stayed in many villas on the west coast, and on arriving at Neil’s family home, we felt exactly that, at home. It’s in a perfect location for the beach, and in a really friendly ‘small’ neighbourhood. The large pool is fantastic, and the gardens are beautiful, loved sitting out in the warm evening, enjoying the fireflies and tropical sounds (and sunset views). We also enjoyed many daily visits from the rooster/chickens, and monkeys early in the morning, along with the view of horses, cows and goats! Il Temio, a lovely Italian restaurant right on the beach (and a 10 min walk) become our favourite spot, reasonably priced, great cocktails, great sunsets and lovely staff. I realized writing this review just makes me wish I was back there, which we will be very soon I hope! Thanks Neil, Annette and Jackie for everything, including the additional assistance at the end of our holiday, it was much appreciated.

Home Away From Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our 12 nights at Hummingbird. Felt like we were at home. The house was well equipped. Loved the pool; the layout of the house; the neighbourhood was quiet and safe with friendly neighbours. We enjoyed the visiting wildlife: monkeys, roosters, chickens, black sheep and horses. Great location for walking to the grocery store and beaches. Also taxis were easily available in the neighbourhood. Excellent meals provided by Wesley, one of the local taxi drivers. Both Neil and Jackie were very good to deal with being prompt and attentive to our needs. We appreciated Jackie bringing in our requested groceries so that we could eat in on our first night. Annette, the maid did a good job of cleaning the house.
