Description from owner
Description
Emcee is a spacious 3 bedroom,2 bathroom villa situated in Heywoods Park. We are suitable for couples, wishing a quiet escape, or families, requiring a safe and quiet relaxing break to recharge and share family time .Emcee has an open kitchen/dinning area and living space with comfortable seating for relaxation. The verandah is a beautiful outside, sheltered place to sit with morning coffee, or evening rum. The villa also has a beautiful balcony outside the master bedroom where the sun setting, is on some evenings, quite spectacular. Emcee Villa has everything in it for your holiday. Our manageress, Helen, can be reached via phone, or WhatsApp to answer any questions you may have. The neighbourhood is quiet, friendly, safe and unobtrusive. Here you will delight in living as part of a real community, experiencing Barbados as the Bajans do.
We are so lucky in that the local beaches and Speightstown are a casual 6-10 minute walk away.
Speightstown is a local hub for public transport extending your capacity to visit more of the beaches of the West coast and the North,
South, or East of the island without need of a hire car. The villa is cleaned once per 10 night stay. If the guest has booked to stay 14 nights, then the villa is cleaned every 7 night stay. We can arrange taxi transfer- this is very handy for the guests new to the island, when they arrive on late flights, or in the dark. The guest pays the taxi driver when there. Our manageress, or a representative, will meet you at Emcee and will contact you prior to departure. This is arranged between guests and Helen. Emcee also has a key lock box- the code to which, will be given to you prior to your arrival by Helen.
Myself and Kate have owned Emcee since 2008 and this is our "Home from Home".
The kitchen is well stocked enabling the occupant to be capable of eating as they would at home, if you so wish. We offer free WiFi and local telephone calls (all over the island) are free.
The property is situated in a Cul de Sac ensuring negligible traffic noise and safety for children.

“Lovely stay among locals”
Really enjoyed the space of the house and the neighbourhood. Close to the town and beach, 10-15 min walk, but quietly residential with many locals in the area. Spacious for two or four adults with two children. Comfortable and more than basic amenities. Enjoyed the plunge pool in the garden to cool down. Relaxed garden and balcony as well as front covered area to keep cool.

“spacious home from home, short walk to beaches, shops and restaurants”
Second time we’ve stayed at Emcee. Well equipped and cosy. Plunge pool was great for cooling off during the day and had lights for an evening dip. Short walk to the bus station taking us to Bridgetown and Bathsheba. Enjoyed the Little Bristol bar which has live music a few times a week in Speightstown. Huntes Garden was the best garden we’ve visited, we took a picnic. Cleaner came to change bedding and towels once a week. Thank you Kate and your team.
