About the host
Hosted by Tracy-Ann Bujham
Hi, we’re Tracy-Ann and Andre!
We’re originally from Jamaica but moved to Barbados in 2019, where we fell in love with the island and created Island Glow. Since 2023, we’ve been based back in Jamaica but still travel between the two islands regularly to enjoy and care for the property.
Hosting gives us the joy of sharing the beauty of Barbados with visitors from all over the world. We designed Island Glow to be a comfortable, family-friendly retreat with touches that make it easy to relax, whether that’s enjoying sunsets from the balcony, playing a game of pool in the private games room, or simply unwinding after a day at the beach.
What we love most about hosting is knowing that our guests leave with wonderful memories of both the island and their stay. We look forward to welcoming you and helping you experience the best of Barbados!

Why they chose this property
Why We Chose This Neighbourhood
We chose this neighbourhood because it offers the best of both worlds, a safe, peaceful residential setting with easy access to everything that makes Barbados special. It’s just 5 minutes to the beach, close to shops and supermarkets for convenience, and only a short drive to Bridgetown, nightlife at St. Lawrence Gap, and some of the island’s best restaurants.
What we enjoy most is the sense of community and calm. After a day of exploring, you can return to the neighborhood to watch the sunset from the balcony, enjoy the quiet evenings, and feel like you’re living like a local rather than just visiting.
It’s a place where you can truly unwind, while still being close to the energy, beauty, and culture of Barbados.
