Stayed Feb 1, 2020My family and I had a wonderful stay at Shimmers. Marcia was incredibly helpful, from the lead up to our arrival to once we had arrived and she even came by to send us off! The villa was very spacious and immaculately clean with all of the amenities we could ask for. We loved sitting outside in the private backyard, and my daughter enjoyed the plunge pool. Great location for beautiful beaches and good restaurants. All in all a fabulous vacation!

Stayed Dec 22, 2018We had an amazing time at Shimmers. The villa is perfect for a large family or group of friends as all bedrooms are large, the two bathrooms stylish and the kitchen and living areas open plan and spacious. Well kitted out with towels and kitchenware etc. Marcia the housekeeper is excellent, very responsive and helpful which was particularly appreciated by us as we unfortunately had no water or intermittent water for a few days due to a leak nearby. She kept us updated and organised plumbers, fresh water supplies etc. Be warned that the water pressure in the showers in the villa is not as efficient as it is in the UK. The villa has a lovely communal pool and is a 5 minute walk from Mullins beach. A wonderful bar and restaurant called Bombas is also 5 mins away - try their lobster curry and Pina Colada - as is a very convenient 24 hour shop for necessary supplies. Overall a great stay in a lovely villa very well placed for the beach and buses for access up and down the West coast. Would highly recommend.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Shimmers is one of the best places we have stayed on the island and we have been coming for a good few years. We have stayed in some lovely places and some shabby but this is definitely in the former category. The house feels brand new with lovely linen and towels, a superb kitchen and the whole layout exudes calm and relaxation which is what we needed. The maid came twice a week and in this respect it is akin to staying in a hotel but with complete privacy. Of course its on the golden coast and we did not venture far - no need everything we wished for was very close to hand. We understand that we were amongst the first guests to stay at Shimmers and the owners seemed to have thought of everything we needed- and more!! As we write this review we are in the process of arranging our return visit next year and cannot wait to return!!

Stayed Dec 31, 1969The house is perfectly situated on the Platinum Coast and close to the great beaches. We walked to Mullins in less than five minutes and Speightstown is only fifteen minutes. The house was clean and felt brand new. The Battaleys Mews compound is fabulous, we played tennis and swam during the whole stay. There are plenty of green monkeys to see although they are shy and high tail it (literally) when they spot you. The kitchen is a great size and we could prep and cook in style. Eating out by the plunge pool we felt like we had the Island to ourselves – such is the peace and quiet. There were 5 of us in the party but it sleep 6 comfortably. We only used the aircon at night but it chilled the rooms down in minutes. That said the house has very thick walls so even when it was 34 degrees outside the room were all bearable. Its nicely furnished with some real quirky features. We’ll be back!
