About this property
Spacious villa with plunge pool in surrounding garden. Palm trees and plants.
Emcee has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. (master and en-suite, with walk in shower, being upstairs, private balcony being off the master bedroom), 1 double downstairs and 2 single bedded room downstairs. Both rooms share downstairs bathroom which has bath and over head shower with large rose (also has shower head which detaches to ease showering young children), kitchen with dining area, large lounge with flat screen, Smart TV, internet and Wifi, private veranda with shutters for outside sitting/living area, even when it rains! Lit up plunge pool and garden area, with seating and 2 sunbeds. The interior is large and spacious, with an open aspect, light and airy. The kitchen is well equipped with cooker, 19 cu. Ft. Fridge/freezer, microwave, washer/ dryer in utility and the dining area seats 6. The property is air conditioned and fanned throughout. Emcee villa is suited to couples and/or families. It is our home from home, fitted out with everything required to make your vacation comfortable and homely. Our manageress, Helen, is there to help you with any questions, or advise and we are only an e mail away. The Heywoods Estate is situated opposite the old, Almond Beach and Port St. Charles resorts, on the North West coast of the island. The beach and local town are both within easy walking distance from the villa. (Ask Helen about the short cut too!) Frequently running and very cheap, public transport is accessed between the villa and the beach.
On the subject of Air conditioning, these units are very powerful and consume alot of energy. We have imposed a surcharge fee for electrical consumption over and above 22 KwHrs (Units) per day. Avoiding this surcharge is very simple. Don't run the air conditioning units 24/7. Shut them down when you leave the house. Treat this issue the same as you would central heating in Northern Europe. If exceeded , this leve will be deducted from the security deposit of £200, retained by VRBO on your card. You can view your consumption from the electrical supply meter on the house.

About the host
Hosted by Mr. and Mrs. A. Scott
Kate is a Special needs teacher and I am an Engineering officer in the Merchant navy. My wife and I own Emcee, in Barbados and The Old Barn annex in Beckwithshaw, Harrogate. Both homes are very dear to us and guests have commented on how welcome they were made to feel in the home from home atmosphere in both properties. Indeed, we aim to offer our guests as much care as possible during their stays in warm and friendly environments. We have travelled quite a bit and stayed in many self-catering villas, both home and away and so have gleened from this what we all need during our breaks from reality. We hope you have an enjoyable and pleasant vacation wherever you decide to book. All the best. Andrew Scott.
Why they chose this property
As I have said above, I work as a merchant seaman and know quite a bit about foreign shores. For me, Barbados has that mix of having familiar establishments yet having a different character. Barbados is very safe and the weather is 95% fantastic. We started coming to the island in 1994 and have vacationed here most years since. The people are friendly, helpful, chatty and warming. We purchased Emcee in 2008 from an English couple and annually we have made adaptations to the villa, refurbishing the bathrooms and pool. Emcee sits in a quiet, friendly, safe neighbourhood, where you will become part of the local way of living, all witnessed from the veranda and upstairs balcony.
What makes this property unique
We firmly believe our property offers outstanding value for money. We can meet you at the airport, stopping off to get basic provisions on the way to Emcee if wished and take you to the villa where you are met by our manageress and made to feel most welcome. Our manager's aim is to help all guests during their stay and she is on hand to solve any issues where possible. We enjoy hearing back from our guests and appreciate and take on board any comments they make which will allow other guests to enjoy their stay even more. We do appreciate guests reporting to Helen, any damages incurred during their stay. This is in order that they may be rectified for the following guests. We supply each set of our guests with our "Rough Guide" to Emcee and the island, with handy tips we have picked up while holidaying on the island and some great places to eat, drink, visit. Wendy will clean, change the beds and linen and tidy up after a ten night stay. This time will be arranged on your arrival when you meet Helen. Guests staying 14 nights, will have a clean at the end of 7 nights. Emcee is our home from home in Barbados- relaxing, comfortable, breezy and spacious, open plan configuration downstairs, light and airy. Very high, beamed ceilings, mosquito nets and monkey bars on windows. Our plunge pool now has atmospheric lighting and a salt water, chlorination system, run from the utility/pump room.
