About this property

A very comfortable house, close to Miami beach with a large tropical garden

Driftwood is a pretty 3 bedroom house with polished wooden floors and a wrap around veranda, surrounded by a lovely tropical garden with fruit trees and a huge mango tree - visited by a family of monkeys each morning! Driftwood is 100yds from Freights bay, known as the best beginners surfing spot on the island. The house is also a few mins walk from Miami beach, with its white coral sands and gentle waves - perfect for swimming. There is a great old bus on the beach which serves rum punch, soft drinks and homemade snacks on picnic tables under the shady Casuarina trees. At the house there is a fully fitted kitchen, a separate study/TV room and large living room with a big veranda overlooking the garden. All the bedrooms are equipped with AC which is paid for separately, although most guests prefer to use the overhead ceiling fans, as the house is made of a tropical hardwood (Greenheart) which keeps the house cool on the hottest days.
There are three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, 1 en-suite. There is also great tv room/study with a sofa bed and chairs for watching movies and tv in the evenings. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a large American style fridge. At night sipping drinks on the veranda, listening to the tree frogs and looking at tropical garden in the twilight is a great experience and the early morning visit by the mango tree from the visiting family of monkeys is not to be missed!
Notes: please note we only accept adults and children over 5 only. Please also note we have a very pretty 1 bedroom apartment with its own balcony and separate entrance which can be rented at the same time for extra guests.
Please ask for details.

Driftwood Review
Driftwood is a beautiful home in a great area. The host responded to our needs quickly and kindly and we were in a great location close to Miami Beach and our family. There were indeed cute monkeys most mornings, which was amazing.

Fantastic location
The house is in a great area, back deck was very peaceful and quiet. There are a few issues with the kitchen area that need to be attended to. The house layout was very nice. Would definitely stay again if issues were resolved.

About the host

Hosted by Dagny Louise Bain

Host profile image
I am originally from Barbados but have lived for many years in Portugal with my husband. We have four sons who also love returning to Barbados to surf and swim (100 mts down the road!) and spend time relaxing with friends and family. We like helping to make our visitors feel comfortable and enjoy being at home and to make sure they have everything they need for a fabulous holiday. We take great pride in making sure that Driftwood is properly equipped and well managed so that our guests have a fabulous, stress free beach holiday and want to return over and over again.

Why they chose this property

Driftwood house is in a lovely unspoilt part of Barbados, close to the sea but in a quiet and safe residential area on the South coast. Dagny (wife and mother) grew up in Barbados and knows the island well - searching for the right property took some time but we knew as soon as we saw the house it was exactly what we were looking for - big enough for visiting members of family yet cosy enough as a romantic getaway for couples. Its close enough to the beach for children to walk there by themselves and the surfing spot at the bottom of the road in Freights bay keeps teenagers and young people happy for many hours.

What makes this property unique

A visiting family of monkeys comes for breakfast early most mornings, they sit on the stepping stones in the garden under the mango tree, to eat the bananas that hopefully you´ve left for them the night before. The house is just 100yds from the sea where you can feed turtles in the late afternoon and a short walk into Oistins town for dinner alongside the beautiful turquoise blue Caribbean sea.
