Godings Beach House is a five-bedroom luxury villa rental on Barbados’ West Coast, equidistant from Speightstown and Holetown. Don’t miss the sunset views from the back deck!

The villa has a 25 meter infinity pool perfect for swimming laps in the morning, and loungers along the side for sunbathing each afternoon. There’s an array of water sports equipment to take down to the beach, and an indoor gym with cardio equipment and weights. The canopied veranda holds ample seating and sits opposite the well-manicured lawn, which faces the bay and the sunset. Gazebos on either side of the pool provide respite from the afternoon sun. A beautifully carved dining table sits just outside the kitchen looking out at the lawn. Sliding glass doors in the living room collapse to completely open the interior to the veranda. Readers will love the well-stocked library, and cinephiles will enjoy the projector screen in the media room. The indoor dining area seats 10 and opens completely to the terrace. The fully-equipped kitchen is sleek and chic, with a breakfast bar for 4, wall-mounted TV, and built-in appliances.

A double staircase leads to the upper level, which holds all five of the bedrooms. Each suite has a walk-in dressing room, an expansive private terrace, and a spacious ensuite bathroom with a Hansgrohe rain shower. Some have four-poster beds, and all four have American oak flooring and Ralph Lauren bed stools. The Master Suite has a soaking tub, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a king-sized bed. Two of the bedrooms have king-sized beds and a lounge, while the other two bedrooms have twin beds that can be converted into kings.

Godings sits right on the beach, and is a few minutes’ drive from three of the island’s golf and polo clubs. A full staff will take care of every guest need, from the private cook to the house manager. The beach is right in front of you, and there’s a chance of seeing newly hatched turtles on the sand.
