Crowsnest II - Luxury 5 Bedroom Beach House in Barbados

Crowsnest II is located at the south end of the Platinum Coast of Barbados, 30ft from the sea and with a unique 180 degree view of its longest beach.

Built in 2006, this 5,000 sq ft beach-house occupies the top 2 stories or the 3 storey building. Finished entirely in hardwood and natural stones it features 5 air-conditioned bedrooms and four bathrooms on the 1st floor, with the living area above - where it catches the breeze. The open plan "penthouse" living area features two "lounges", a 14 seat dining table, a barbecue area, bar, library, a further toilet and shower and a 30ft rooftop pool and wet bar, all arranged around a central open plan kitchen.

While designed for guests who want to self-cater, a cook can be arranged, at additional cost, if required. There is a full-time maid/laundress to wash-up, do laundry, and to clean and service the rooms daily.

Crowsnest is located on Bright Beach, 2.5 miles north of Bridgetown and 3.5 miles south of Sandy Lane. Kensington Oval Cricket Ground is walking distance and, being 4.5 miles from both Holetown and St Lawrence, the beach-house is equidistant between both the major restaurant and nightlife areas on the island.

 At over 1.2 miles Brighton Beach is the longest on the Platinum Coast and when put together with Paradise Beach, provides almost 2 miles of uninterrupted powder soft sand. It is the largest turtle hatchery on the island and turtles are often see laying eggs, hatching and swimming in surrounding waters.

Being set back 200 yards from the main road, Crowsnest does not experience the road noise suffered by most West Coast villas and because Brighton Beach is a mainly residential beach, with no hotels or apartment blocks and only a handful of properties available for holiday rental, the beach itself is almost deserted for the majority of the day/week. The water is usually calm and clear, and swimming is safe with negligible current and a gentle slope to the sand. Watersports are available to the north of the beach and there is a beach bar/restaurant 200 yards south.

• Location on perhaps the best beach on the island

Living Area - With its unique forward footprint the property has sea views unparalleled on the West Coast. Being higher up than any surrounding building, it is one of the few beach properties on the lee-side of the island able to catch the prevailing breeze - a design feature essential to living comfortably on steamy tropical days. It is un-overlooked and almost entirely private, (ie, you can see out, but people cannot see in).

 It features two seating areas with seating for over 18, a 12ft dining table with seating for 14 and additional seating at either bar. There is also an extensive library, an upstairs washroom, and a barbecue. There is also an additional family room on the 1st floor with two settees and a large computer desk.
