Gingerbread is a lovely 3 bedroom villa with a private plunge pool set on three floors overlooking the stunning beach, a large lagoon-style communal pool together with the lush gardens of the exclusive and private enclave that is Merlin Bay.
Merlin bay is situated on a low sea cliff with steps leading down to a stunning beach. It is just one mile north of Holetown where you will find an excellent selection of both local and designer shops<. The area is also famous for its many incredible oceanside restaurants. Golf is available close by at both Sandy lane and Westmoreland Courses and there is a really good selection of water sports available locally.
You enter Gingerbread on the living/dining level to find yourself with a commanding unobstructed view and access to the well-landscaped gardens, main pool and the sea. You may choose to watch the beautiful sunsets from your private plunge pool or one of your four private terraces which all overlook the sea and garden. The Terraces are the perfect place for relaxing, enjoying a cocktail or dining with friends and family.
This unique home offers you three living levels plus a very private roof terrace. A well-equipped kitchen includes a fridge/freezer, toaster, coffee machine, mixer, blender, and electric kettle.
Located on the upper level, the master bedroom has a wonderful sitting terrace with views of the Caribbean Sea. Bedroom 2 is filled with the tropical cool breezes and the aromatic scents of the surrounding gardens. Bedroom 3 features a beautiful king-size bed and there are wonderful sea views. All the rooms have quiet ceiling fans for your added comfort.
On the grounds of Merlin Bay, you will be able to enjoy a really beautiful free-form swimming pool. The pristine white sandy beach is just a few steps from Gingerbread. Here you will enjoy swimming in the incredibly warm and calm azure sea

Hi Yvonne and Julie, We are back home and we wanted to thank you for the organization of this wonderful stay in Barbados. it was just….unforgettable!!! The villa was beautiful, the staff was perfect of kindness and efficiency and the meals were absolutely fabulous, even if we are accustomed to eat spiced meals in Guadeloupe. We met a lot of nice people and we are already planning our next stay for 2018 !! Thanks a lot again. Kind regards, The Milleret
Hi Yvonne and Julie,
Now that we have had a moment to catch our breath, I just wanted to email and say how fabulous Gingerbread is!!!!!
We love it and don’t want to ever leave. My daughter said that if they had the Australian animals in Barbados then it would be perfect and she would move here. Such a wonderful place to come after our polar vortex winter.
I have to say that you were right Yvonne- I am already wondering how I ever had three kids without a cook and maid…Cheryl and Jessica are lovely. We had her prepare lunch and dinner today and leave them for us and I came back to folded washing that hadn’t been folded by me….that’s a holiday on its own!
Thanks again for all of your help and advice. The kids are snorkelling away happily but the pools are their favorite I think. Especially the after dinner swim with the pool lit up, best thing ever according to my little one Charlie.
We met Anne Marie today and she was very helpful and lots of fun to talk to. You always worry a little when you book somewhere but this has been our best family holiday so far ( and we are only 36 hours in…)
Thanks again!
Nicky
