After having found Crows Nest on our last visit to Barbados, we knew this is where we wanted to be for our destination wedding celebration. Crows Nest was Wedding Command Central. We hosted over 65 guests in nearby villas and at The Crane and loved the proximity of Crows Nest to all key areas (Best Beaches, The Crane, Airport, and our other villa rentals where we had our wedding celebration). Crows Nest is a modern, fully equipped, beautiful villa. It has everything you need and top notch amenities within (especially the high quality bath towels). The floor plan is open with constant ocean breezes, location on a point for stunning sunrises and moonlit ocean floor nights, and the superb bathrooms in every room made for Crows Nest the best place in St Philips to stay (and in our opinion on the entire island). Cecily, the house staff, keeps the villa spotless and is pleasant and was nonintrusive during our stay (matter of fact, she created a loved note out of flower petals that we found upon our return of our wedding day...how thoughtful!). The villa also offers a private entrance for 2 vehicles (1 of which is a covered garage). The pool is mostly shaded, more like a dipping pool 4ft deep...and provides stunning views out to the ocean. Crows Nest provides 4 chaise lounges for sunbathing, an outdoor table which seats 6, and an outdoor comfortable lounge for morning and evening relaxation. The kitchen has top notch appliances (including a dishwasher). We recommend hiring in a cook to cater your dining experience...most cooks can be found for food prep, service, and clean up for around $35 US + tip (groceries excluded). The house offers a stereo system which includes a dock for your MP3 and IPOD connection along with a CD player. There is also a tv and DVD player in the back room, but we did not use it once in the 2 wks we were there (nice to know it's there if we wanted). Ron Stoute manages the property and are there at your every need (if needed). Thank you Jenny & Sylvan for opening your home away from home to us! We'll be back!
P.S. For families, I'd only recommend this villa for non walking babies/toddlers or for kids over 14...or those who offer constant supervision as Crows Nest sits on a cliff.
