we just stayed again, and had such a wonderful time. the trees in the garden had been trimmed and there was an amazing 'window to the sea' from the rear terraces and garden. quite special, and great value. just like everyone else, the girls that looked after us (cook & maid) were wonderful. great fun, easy to have around, and...

well ok one but it was resolved same day......amazing location,best beach on the island and was basically private for most of our week. A couple of boats on Sunday but that was it - not a big concern. Make sure that you bring snorkels and masks as there is a reef only 50 yards south and my wife watched sea... More

We enjoyed this trip to Barbados. We used to stay at another villa in the area - this was the first time at Waverly House. You should know that there are 3 villas all accessed from the same drive - Harmony is separate, Waverly House and Waverly 2 are semi-detached matching halves of the same property externally, though owned (and...

We just got back from our family vacation, went with our three girls ages 9-16. We all had a great time just relaxing onthe beach and chilling out by the pool. We always felt safe as we had a night watchman and the doors and windows all secured nicely. The food was excellent! We stayed at Waverly 2 with Angela... More

Our overall stay at the Waverly House was spectacular. The villa is stunning and Gibbs Beach is one of our favorite beaches on the island. The décor is elegant, all white and beige and the 1st level is open to the patio area where the plunge pool is for a wonderful flow promoting outdoor living. The bedrooms are lovely and... More

The Waverly House offers so much privacy yet is central to many activities, my favorite of which was Gibbs Beach - by far the most beautiful beach on the island. The interior is very well appointed and the beautifully landscaped grounds offer your own private paradise. Though the beach is private and easily accessible, I found myself relaxing in the... More

We stayed at Waverly House in May 2010. We were met by Harriet and Luciene two lovely staff who made us feel well looked after. The house is unique, built in white coralstone, it feels spacious, breezy and very cool. The downstairs area feels like a very cool Caribbean movie set of a room which leads onto a big terrace,...

I would highly recommend Waverly House. We have been to Barbados severly times and it is the nicest house we've stayed in by far. It is located on arguably one of the best beaches on the island, Gibbs, which is beautiful and peaceful. The house is tastefully decorated and manages to be both chic and comfortable. Two of the bedrooms... More

I stayed at Waverly House on Gibbs beach last April. The location is outstanding. Its the nicest beach we found on Barbados by a long way. Very quiet, we were sometimes the only people on the beach. The villa is very chic yet really comfortable and relaxing. Fantastic staff (cook and maid), gorgeous food and they really made us feel... More

We stayed at Waverly House in May. Its a 3-bed coral-stone house on the BEST beach on the West Coast of Barbados. Often we were the only people on the beach. There are no hotels, just glamorous private villas! House is beautiful, and the staff (cook AND maid) were wonderful. Highly recommend it, either for romantic getaway for 2 or... More
