Secluded Tropical West Coast Villa - Pool & Sunset Views

House was set away from the road overlooking the gully. Exceptionally beautiful and relaxing grounds, we loved waking up to the sound of the birds and other animals every morning. We even saw monkeys one morning! The pool was refreshing and we enjoyed the chairs on the sun deck. We ate most meals out but did have breakfast at the house. You will need to bring most essentials (oil, seasonings) but there are plenty of cooking tools and plates. The stove has to be manually lit as the starter does not work so that was a little scary the first time but once we got the hang of it not an issue. There was a lot of room to spread out which was great traveling with two teens. We did rent a car which I would highly recommend although the house is pretty close to many beaches and shopping and other points of interest in Barbados. Overall, we loved the house and Barbados!

The home was beautiful and spacious. Secluded which was great for our group. We loved the outdoor space. We had some trouble getting inside because we didn't have service and the door code was incorrect on the listing.

Our overall experience was great—we absolutely loved the property! It was very clean and well-maintained, and the property manager was responsive and helpful. The only minor downside was that the pool was a bit too deep for our liking. Other than that, everything was fantastic!

Minimally tucked away - far enough from others almost a “jungle” like feeling but five min by road to anywhere. Loved this place will ask to come back next visit to Barbados!

Our group of seven (ages 21-58) had a fantastic week at this beautiful property. We were fortunate to have no one staying in the other home so we had the pool and grounds to ourselves. That said, we don’t feel anyone should be deterred from the shared property as the houses are decently far apart. Renting both houses would be wonderful for large groups. The house is very comfortable and allows for groups to spend time together or spread out. The covered porch off the living room is particularly nice and allows shade and views to the ocean. Grounds were very nicely landscaped and peaceful. The pool was great for swimming and lounging. We even saw a green monkey one afternoon (about 50 feet from the porch). Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. We made breakfast and lunch most days and two dinners. Haywood’s beach is a 10 minute drive and definitely worth a visit. Hayman’s market is fun for small shops and takeaway food (good coffee shop). Only glitch was our check-in which unfortunately had the wrong code and local contact number provided so we had to wait about an hour before we could get let in by the caretaker. Everything else was fantastic. Would rent this house again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful colonial style elegant spacious home. It is beautifully appointed and equipped for comfort and relaxation. The verandas and verdant garden space were well maintained providing peaceful retreat away from the busy coast. The pool was refreshing. We loved spotting monkeys and tree frogs in the garden and chilling in the hammocks enjoying the stunning views.

Ancient Grove 2 is an excellent

Wonderful retreat from the hot and humid coastline. Withdrawn spacious villa with a charming garden. We'll miss it....

It's hard to describe ... but the house and setting are truly amazing. The house is well designed -- a sense of openness when inside -- great common space both inside and outside -- and -- quiet bedrooms; nice baths. The VRBO pictures don't lie. Ancient Grove also is well situated -- close to Speightstown and Holetown. Natalie and Patrick were very helpful in getting us oriented to the house and general directions. And, we had Richard White cook two meals -- first night and last -- each was terrific as is he. We were a group of 7 and each of us felt the same about our experience. Our only regret is that we wished we had more time in Barbados! We would not hesitate to recommend this home to other travelers seeking a quiet, beautiful spot close to lots of activity.

Beautiful villa set in beautiful surroundings. Was ideal for our group of adults. The rooms were cooled by the trade winds so no need for air conditioning at all. Most of the rooms were light and airy. One of the downstairs bedrooms was a little disappointing compared to the other bedrooms. Also, the grounds are definitely not child friendly. There are 2 villas on the grounds so the pool is shared. Felt there ought to have been more loungers even though there are other places to sit such as the hammocks and the swinging chairs in the trees. Would definitely stay here again and again.
