From the owner

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.
