Villa for sale

# 8 Merlin Bay is the only villa in the development that does not look out onto the communal pool, thus it is offered supreme privacy. This luxury villa is the only standalone property in Merlin Bay and has a larger plot size than any of the neighbours.

Five minutes south of Port St. Charles, 3 minutes south of Mullins beach and five minutes north of Holetown. Secret Garden is within easy reach of the golf at Sandy Lane and Royal Westmoreland and is just over twenty minutes to Grantley Adams International Airport. The beach is accessed via the rear gate of the garden leading one down a manicured pathway that runs alongside the lagoon pool and this is also used as access to reach the pool deck. There are no private beaches in Barbados but Merlin Bay beach can only be accessed from the northern side and so this beach is as private as one might hope for.

On entering Merlin Bay, Secret Garden is the first house; it sits on a larger plot than the other houses on the development and thus afforded a large garden. Entering the home one is immediately hit by the rounding white walls contrasting with the terra cotta tiles, the beautiful pickled ceilings and the use of natural woods. Rounded wooden doors, to built-in lounge areas, pergola styles roof coverings open to the elements to Mediterranean styled windows that rotate open from the middle; this house has many beautiful features. The interior living space overlooks the tropical garden and private pool and flows out unto a rear deck. The downstairs bedroom opens onto the pool patio deck. Upstairs the master suit opens onto its own patio overlooking the private pool and garden and the second guest room only a step way also opens onto a patio overlooking the private pool.

As far a slurry beachfront property goes this house all the advantages and none of the disadvantages for wanting a prime spot on the west coast of Barbados.
