Solaris Holiday
Solaris is an awesome property, even more beautiful than captured in the on-ine pictures. Cheryl and her staff took wonderful care of us. (Ask Cheryl to make you some rum punch, or Bajun fish cakes, or to fry up some red snapper!) The property is convenient to Speightstown, other local shopping and Oistin's if your are inclined for some night life. But the home and grounds are so comfortable there is really no reason to do anything but kick back, and enjoy the beach and the sun (and Cheryl's rum punch!)

We had a wonderful time at Solaris. The property is as beautiful as it seems in the pictures. The View restaurant located about 5 minutes by car from the property was lovely. There is a wonderful public beach an easy 5 minute walk from the house. All the staff were terrific

A Barbados Beauty
Thank you for an amazing stay. Our family had a wonderful time. Cheryl is a gem, and we will truly miss her. Sadly the time flew by, but we definitely look forward to visiting again. I would highly recommend this property to any of my family and friends. On a side note… Nikita is also very sweet, but a little young and inexperienced for a villa of your standard. There were a few days that were hard to contact her. On our day of departure, she brought I believe to be the owners nieces to the villa to be show them around. We found it a bit awkward trying to settle up our stay while having them hovering about. It would have been more professional if she had brought them after we had checked out. All in all, we felt blessed being able to stay at your residence, and enjoy the kind and generous people of Barbados. Thank you again!

Platinum Coast Dream House
My family loved this home in Weston. It is spacious, the beds are comfortable and the location is accesible and easy to find. The backyard is gorgeous and feels out of a movie and it was lovely to be right on the water. The one downside is the gate and steps leading to the beach are quite worn and could use a refresh, however, that it to be expected of salt water exposure. As wonderful as the home is, Cheryl, the chef and housekeeper, is the true gem of the rental. Her cooking is only outdone by her warmth and kindness.

About the host

Hosted by Celia Sawyer

Host profile image
Celia and Nick together with her family they fell in love with the island of Barbados in the early 2000's. We have a great love affair with the island and it is the first place we all loved to be together, with its great climate, restaurants and beaches.

Why they chose this property

Solaris is midway between Holetown and Spietstown on the West Coast of Barbados. With great restaurants such as The Lone Star and the Sea Shed only minutes away and the facilities of Holetown a maximum of a ten-minute drive, who could ask for more? Nothing you need is far away, and yet it feels so private.

What makes this property unique

Designed to be bright and airy, Solaris emphasises outdoor living. When we designed the house, we wanted the bring the inside out and do away with conventional living spaces. The villa exudes positive energy, with the entire area being usable. It is such a delightful place to spend time. It is so relaxing. We often only go as far as the beach for days.
