Another fabulous stay at the Ark!

This was our third time in the house, that’s how much we love it. Jacqui (property manager) is available for all questions and always responds quickly. The housekeeper kept the house looking spotless. Batt’s Rock is just a few minutes away for an incredible meal at La Cabane and swimming. Located across from the university means that it’s peaceful but close to shopping and restaurants. We’d go back again!

Lovely stay. Super house. Beachfront is an understatement. We were in and out of the water multiple times a day all week. Outdoor shower incredible! This house is one of 6 or 7 just down the beach from Batts Rock. We cooked every day and loved hanging out at the house. It would be helpful to have baking sheets and oven mitts for those who cook. The house has a grill but it is old; for the cost of the stay this equipment should be upgraded. The sunsets are amazing, but beware: two party boats sail into the cove every night to watch them with you. There was a bit of a mildew smell on the lower floor during the week. My criticism here is minor and very addressable. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Had a wonderful stay

James' Noah's Ark was a nearly perfect stay for my family. Fabulous location with incredible sunsets. We were in the water (via the private entrance) twice a day, and we made daily walks thru Batts Rock beach. The house was huge where my family had plenty of space to hang out and relax and enjoy the amazing views. The only reason I could not say it was a perfect vacation was that the main floor had no A/C (all the bedrooms had A/C). We opened all the windows and had the fans running, but it was still too hot for us. But other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Noah's Ark and the island of Barbados.

Outstanding location!

We had so many plans. It was our first time to Barbados. But every morning we would wake up and sit on the porch for the first few hours captivated by the view. I couldn’t think of a better location. Restaurants within walking distance and the beach at your feet. The finishing touches to the home we’re absolutely beautiful. Beds super comfortable. I hope I am lucky enough to come back someday!

A Little Piece of Paradise

Our family stayed in James’ beautiful home for 5 days before going on a cruise. It is a very comfortable home with views of the Caribbean out every window! Jacqui, the property manager was very attentive if we needed anything. The driver that James recommended was excellent and was available for anything we asked of him. Within walking distance is La Cabane, an excellent beach bar. We would highly recommend this home if you are staying in Bridgetown.

Paradise in Barbados

Amazing multi story home directly on the water. Beautiful sunset views, sounds of the waves resound throughout the home, modern updated decor make for a terrific vacation. La Cabane restaurant is just steps down the beach. No need to go anywhere else for meals. If there are downsides, would not want to bring toddlers or the infirm around the steep steps or open railings. Would hope to return. The owner James is professional in every way. Good communicator. Thanks James!

Spectacular ocean views and beautiful property.

The views of the ocean are mesmerizing. The property is beautifully designed and spacious and beautifully decorated. Rashida was great with meal preparation. Housekeeping was excellent. However I would suggest updating the sofas bc they are worn. Please fix the tv’s or remove them. An iron would be a nice touch.

Totally worth it

This was a great home for 8 pandemic-weary travelers over the holidays. Excellent space in good condition. You will never be closer to the ocean. Waking up to the views every morning followed by a swim right outside our door—not much more one could ask for. A quick walk to restaurants/groceries. Since we arrived on Christmas Day, we opted to have the manager buy us groceries and order a pre-made meal. The pricing was fair, the refrigerator stocked for us upon arrival, and the dinner was delicious. The location may not be for you if you’re hoping for a gated community, resort-style atmosphere, but it was perfect for us for a relaxing week.

Beautiful Property

Thank you James, Karene, Andrew and Sandra. A beautiful property and lovely sea swimming on the doorstep. The house was immaculate and the team could not have been more pleasant or helpful. Six of us, of varying ages, had plenty of space, comfortable beds, lovely bathrooms and not one person had anything negative to say. We loved it and will definitely return to the house and to beautiful Barbados - hopefully soon.

Exquisite!

I rented this villa to celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary. The pictures do not do this property any justice. I am extremely OCD and type A when it comes to traveling, organization and our accomodations. Everyone involved were quite accomodating, starting w/ the property owner, James, to the house managers, Karene and Andrew to Sandra rhe housekeeper, Rashida, the chef we hired and Alvin our driver. I was very comfortable in the villa and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We plan on vacationing again...SOON & plan on making Noah’s Ark our home during our stay. THANKS to everyone for making our stay memorable! Namasté nl
