Our stay at Julielm House was nothing short of perfect.
We arrived around 7.30pm in the evening at the house. Amanda greeted us and kindly offered to take us to Massey supermarket before it closed at 8pm to get in some essentials, Which helped us out a lot!
We used the kitchen facilities a lot for cooking/making coffee/cocktails etc.
Everything seems brand new in the kitchen area which was great for me being a chef!
Also, the bar area outside has running water and a power point which makes cocktail making easy and great fun!!
We also took advantage of the BBQ (Grill) outside on quite a few occasions.
The table area and seating outside on the terrace are perfect. Huge solid granite table where we spent most evenings chilling, or on the couches overlooking the swimming pool.
The swimming pool was used everyday to cool us all down after being in the sun.
During the day, we would open up all the blinds in the house as suggested in the handbook to get a breeze flowing around the house.
All 3 rooms were spacious and very clean. 2 of the rooms open out onto the terrace overlooking the swimming pool. The other looks out onto the front space and road.
This beautiful house is located in such a lovely area of Barbados. If you hire a car, the supermarkets (Trimart & Massey) are less than a 5 minute drive. But you can also walk here in under 15 minutes.
The local area (Rockley) is amazing, As you approach the beach area, there is a perfect balance of holiday makers who want to experience local culture, and locals who are super friendly.
Our favourite find was the restaurant, Shakers. The Food and Cocktails here are probably the best we had.
Rockley/Accra beach was our fave. There is a large bar called Tiki Bar where you can get some sun loungers for the beach and they give you the money back in bar/food vouchers.
Also, there are several bars/Rum Shacks on this beach like Chicken George & Oasis, just the other side of the large car park.
Worthing Beach is also close which is absolutely stunning and has a few eating/drinking options.
Theres also bars/restaurants on the main road as you come down from the house just before you get to the beach.
This was our second stay in Barbados. The first time we stayed on the North/West coast.
If we stay in Barbados again, we would 100% want to stay at Julielm House again. We absolutely loved it.
