We had a wonderful stay overall. The house is in a very charming location, and the views from two of the bedrooms as well as the living room are absolutely stunning—an incredible panoramic view of the ocean. The pool was lovely, and we especially enjoyed spending time on the deck, which was perfect for relaxing. Communication with the owner was fantastic: very responsive and attentive, and we felt well taken care of throughout our stay.A couple of small notes to be aware of: the kitchen appliances are somewhat outdated and could benefit from a refresh. Additionally, the beach visible from the deck was unfortunately covered in significant amounts of seaweed during our entire stay and was not usable. Locals explained that this side of the island often deals with seaweed issues, so we ended up driving daily to the west side of the island, where the beaches were beautiful and offered excellent offshore snorkeling.

Our host was very communicative and helpful. The location was beautiful overlooking a deserted bay and the peace and quiet apart from the sound of the surf was wonderful. Farther Away is obviously a much loved holiday home and as such has all you need for a comfortable stay. It is out of the way so a hire car is definitely needed to make the most of the island.

If its available book it fast !

What a find! We found Farther Away accidentally. It had been omitted from my earlier searches due to my search criteria including the requirement for A/C. We read the reviews and contacted Caroline who put our mind at rest re the necessity of having this. We used the fans and these were adequate for us.Farther Away is wonderful. Secluded yet within easy reach of local beaches and restaurants but a car is a necessity.The pool was initially a bit on the chilly side, but this improved by the end of our stay. We wondered if it had been topped up prior to our visit. The large deck was fabulous. exceptional at about 600 sqft, and provided a large shady area where you can sit and enjoy Caroline's delicious home made rum punch. We were even wishing for rain in order that we could sit on the deck and watch it fall. The view over Skeetes Bay and beyond, is stunning and can be viewed through the double doors leading out from the lounge and bedrooms. The house is comfortably furnished and spotlessly clean. There are lots of towels for both the beach/pool and for the bathrooms. The showers are excellent! The kitchen is well stocked and we had every utensil and appliance we could have wished for. Caroline responded quickly to all of my messages and it was wonderful to meet her in person - she is lovely!We will definitely return! We had an

Amazing views!!!!

Very nice property with the most amazing views of the eastern coast. Thr neighborhood was extremely quiet. Pool was exceptionally clean and had great sun. Huge deck with plenty of space for everyone. It’s called farther away and as a result a rental car is a must. Watch out for the pot holes! The host is amazing and checked in with us before and during our stay. We would recommend this place.

Family Get Away

This was our first trip to Barbados for our annual family trip and staying at Father Away made our trip so much better. The house is so welcoming, we could have stayed there and never explore the island. The house was the perfect place to return to at the end of the day. Falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore below was amazing!

A Great Escape

Farther Away was absolutely beautiful. The views of the Atlantic and surrounding coast were spectacular. The cottage is very cozy with 3 bedrooms. The master has a comfy king size bed. Being able to open the shutter doors and have that constant breeze and view from the entire house was so relaxing. The kitchen is totally functional with all the spices and cooking utensils you need. There were big beach towels and beach chairs and other items like bug spray , aloe , shampoo, soap , conditioner. It’s so nice to have the little extras that can add up! The entire house was immaculate. The water pressure was fantastic. The best part of the home is the large back porch. It is fully covered and has a pool built in to the deck which was wonderful to cool off in. And of course that beautiful view There are plenty of Adirondack chairs and also padded lounge chairs and a great hammock. The plants surrounding the home are lovely and give it that extra touch and show that it is well cared for. Caroline was so kind and easy to work with. Thank you again for sharing your home with us. We would highly recommend staying at Farther Away. So glad we did-we had a fantastic time.

Farther Away Takes You Where You Want To Be

It was a joy to stay here for three weeks. The constant Barbados sun and the sea breezes off the Atlantic cured our winter blues. The owners have thought of everything you could need including the amazing rum punch. Farther Away is decorated with an array of Caribbean colours, inside and out, making it a happy place. We did not need air conditioning because of the Atlantic sea breezes. A few things that surprised us - you can drink the water from the tap, the internet is great, neighbours are friendly, and the house is eco-friendly.

This home was everything it’s described to be. A feeling of being away. The ever present sound of the ocean….the delicious cool breezes….the unforgettable views….all lead to a feeling of being away from it all. Super relaxing.

Parents and Teenagers on vacay!!!

We loved our time at Farther Away! There is something special about waking up to the sound of the surf and a view for miles up the coast from a fabulous cliff perch!!! No issues getting anywhere and as a family of surf-bums, who know Barbados pretty well, we had easy trips to Dover Beach, Freight's Bay and Cattlewash (I am too old for Soup Bowl!!!). The rest of Barbados is not hard to get to and we made it to Oistin's regularly, The only problem we had was that it was so comfortable at Farther Away that it was really really tough to get going past the patio and the lovely plunge pool, whose jets we set our clocks by. Don't forget to visit the Variety down the street if you go, they are lovely and most of the bus drivers stop there, so if you want the official Barbados Bus Experience, this is where you want to make some friends and get started. Thanks so much to Caroline, who was lovely the whole time and went to lengths to make sure we were ok!

My husband and I had an amazing time at Farther Away. The privacy was just what we needed! We loved waking up to the view of the ocean and the spectacular sunrise. We had everything we needed in the cottage and Caroline went above and beyond as a host coming out to find us after we got lost. She was always available if we were looking for suggestions or directions for food and entertainment. We look forward to returning to Farther Away! Thank you for everything Caroline!

Great Getaway

I would like to recommend this property to anyone who would like to get away from the hustle and bustle of the western side of Barbados. This property overlooks Skeetes Bay and is on the top of a cliff also overlooking the ocean. The cottage is clean and has all the amenities you need for a great stay. The plunge pool is private and just what you need to cool down while sitting on the backdeck enjoying the view. Caroline the host was awesome and would instantly respond to any questions with great advise as to what to do and see on the island.. I highly recommend this place. Some words of advice - Farther Away is in deed just that - so a rental vehicle is a must. When we were there the beach below was filled with seaweed which is happening right now down the entire eastern side of Barbados (and a a lot of the Caribbean), as a result we couldn't use the beach right by the cottage. I'm told that isn't usually the case just bad luck on our part. There are many other incredible beaches within a 20 minute drive. Enjoy the view and the breeze, its truly a magical spot, and the rum punch provide as a welcoming gift is wonderful!
