About this house rental
Our cottage has a charming "Hemingway" style, and is sure to be a favourite with beautiful gardens and the sea nearby. Spend your days in the comfort of this magical cottage, tucked away among trees as the waves crash on the famous pink sands nearby.
Tamarind Cottage rests on an elevated garden bluff, with plantings of lush tropical palms and trees leading to a cooling "tree-house" feeling. A stairway leads you down through the garden and to the sea with turquoise waters.
There are two large king size bedrooms cooled by A/C and ceiling fans, and each have their own en-suite bathrooms. The open plan cottage has an airy feel, with a comfortable living room flowing out to the large wrap-around verandah. The kitchen is outfitted with all the appliances and kitchenware you'll need while on vacation. The decorations were chosen to make this feel like a relaxed and casual beach house.
A spacious wrap around verandah completes the tropical setting where you can enjoy endless days, reading, napping, and dining under the stars.
The property manager is just a phone call or e-mail away should you need a hand with anything. A housekeeper is also included in the rate of the cottage for one half day a week. Additional cleanings can be arranged if necessary. We strongly recommend reserving in advance as it is a small island with limited availability.
A 5th person can be accommodated at the cottage for $25 usd per night + the cost of a rollaway bed that our concierge department can arrange for you. Also, due to the height of the patio, we only accept children over 5 years old at this time.

The house is lovely and the sounds of the waves and the privacy were wonderful. Neil found the bed hard and I did not. We had issues and you resolved them right away. Val did a great job cleaning and it was a special getaway for us.

The accommodation is in a superb location. Sitting on the veranda listening to the Sea and birds during the day, frogs and crickets at night was wonderful. The accommodation was really well appointed with two equal sizes bedrooms.
We loved the short walk down the steps to the sea in the morning to drink our tea and coffee.
The staff were very attentive and responsive. If you want somewhere special that is quiet but close to lively a short taxi ride away, I cannot recommend this enough, both the property, the booking experience and the experience with the cleaners and support staff.

Communication was great, access to property was clear and easy. Darling cottage, felt like a mermaid living in a coral cottage. Access to the beach was wonderful, found great sandy entrances into the water, snorkeling and perfect water to wade and swim in. Plenty of cookware to cook. Beautiful dining space out on the patio!AC in bedrooms was nice, bring earplugs for the first night or so while you get used to the sounds of the nighttime frogs & middle of the night rains on the roof. We eventually got used to it. The bed may be perfect for some, but it was rather firm and that was just about my only complaint. Otherwise a LOVELY stay!

We booked Tamarind Cottage because of its garden and direct access onto the beach.It is one of 5 properties on the James Bay Apartments site situated between 2 apartments at the front near the road and 2 apartments at the rear near the beach.The gardens are communal and at the time of our visit access was restricted by construction work which also impeded beach access but didn’t stop me going for a swim most morning.The house and terrace are as described but having a direct sea view from either is a stretch due to the mature trees and shrubs that attract a range of birds and of course the monkeys and also the other property in front.There are a few refurbishments / reorganisations inside that would have made our stay better but nothing significant, the key is a bit stiff and plugs in sinks need replacing and crockery needs to be reachable for short people.Bluescape managed the stay professionally and efficiently and I’d definitely use them again to book property in Barbados either directly or through a booking site.
