Merlin Bay House | Charming West Coast Cottage Near Beach

2 Bedroom House in Merlin Bay, The Garden

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.

This 2 Bedrooms House provides accommodation with Air Conditioner, View, Ocean View, for your convenience. This House features many amenities for guests who want to stay for a few days, a weekend or probably a longer vacation with family, friends or group. The rental House has 2 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms to make you feel right at home.

Check to see if this House has the amenities you need and a location that makes this a great choice to stay in Merlin Bay. Enjoy your stay in Merlin Bay at this House.

Summary: Great place with a private deck and quick access to the waterfront. You can’t swim at the private beach due to shallow coral, but great for dipping your feet in the water. A quick walk down the beach allows better access. You might even see monkeys.

Summary: 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.

Summary: We had a beautiful stay in Tamarind cottage. It was perfect. It was so good to be away from the big resorts and a peaceful place to come back to after a day out exploring the island. It was roomy and had everything we needed. I loved the white washed walls. The tropical garden was lovely and it was wonderful seeing the monkey. We had privacy.

Summary: We loved Tamarind Cottage! A stone's throw from a beautiful beach, quiet location but on a bus route and within walking distance of a fish market and groceries sold on the street. The Cottage was beautifully furnished (although kitchen could do with updating), an extensive verandah offered sea glimpses, dining table/chairs and loungers from which we saw hummingbirds and a monkey in the trees. Inside was very tastefully furnished, a real bajan vibe and we instantly felt at home. Beds were comfortable (and very large) and we hardly needed to use the air conditioning available as shutters enabled sea breezes to cool things down. Very friendly lady who cleaned for us and a friendly, helpful gardener (Ricky). The beach is down a flight of steps past a beachfront property where you can sunbathe and snorkel, although a bit rocky so water shoes are recommended. We preferred Heywood beach in Speightstown as it offered better snorkeling and was more extensive. No hesitation in recommending!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the cottage, 100% as per pictures and description. Very good communication with the agency prior arrival, the beach is stunning and sunsets amazing. We would recommend without hesitation and go back there if the occasion presents itself. We enjoyed the privacy of the cottage and the sound of the waves. Perfect place.

Summary: This is a very charming cottage in a nice setting close to a quiet beach. Nice shaded deck, and walking distance to some local restaurants. We had a few minor issues that were addressed immediately. This was our second visit here and we look forward to a third visit.

Summary: We arrived on a Sunday evening and had no code to get in through the gate. Fortunately we managed to break in through the side gate as no one got back to us until the next day. Other than that it was a fantastic location and simple, yet comfortable accommodation. After the first day communication was good with the property manager. Could have done with housekeeping twice instead of once in the 9 night stay.
