Tight Lines - For up to 4 people. 

(To go directly to the current rate applicable to this property please scroll down this page).

Tight Lines is a delightful, privately owned, ground floor apartment located at Bakers - next to the village of Rock Dundo - on the border where the parishes of St. James and St. Peter meet.

The owners, Maggie and Bill, live above the apartment in their own separate home and they will give you a warm welcome on your arrival. They will also be more than happy to offer you any help or information during your holiday.

Tight Lines (so called, because Bill loves fishing !) is situated in a charming area. It is a great place to relax and, being some 400 ft. above sea level, benefits from the cooling breeze that usually descends from the hills to the east.

The apartment is just a 5 minute drive inland from stunning Gibbs Beach and spectacular Mullins Bay on the beautiful ‘platinum’ west coast of Barbados. The wonderful, dramatic east coast is a 20 minute drive away.

Many water sports, including scuba diving and snorkelling, are available on the west coast and 2 world-class golf courses - The Royal Westmoreland and Sandy Lane - are within easy reach.

Chris' Bar and Store is less than a 5 minute walk from the apartment. The store offers basic provisions plus local daily and Sunday newspapers. Chris offers food at lunchtimes to eat-in or take-away. He also offers meals to order every evening. This service is not provided on Sundays when the store and bar close at midday. Bajan food such as chicken, pork, ribs and fish are served with chips, macaroni pie or salad and the prices are very reasonable. Chris and his wife are extremely genial hosts and Chris who is a great cricket fan keeps a very well stocked bar. It is especially popular with expat. Brits.

Historic Speightstown with its shops, restaurants and bars is a 10 minute drive to the north.

Sunset Crest & Holetown are a 15 minute drive to the south. Here you will find a very good selection of restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets plus other amenities such as bars, banks, a supermarket, post office, medical centres, a cyber café and an air-conditioned shopping mall with duty free shops.

A car is highly recommended for you to get the most out of your holiday. Many rental companies operate in Barbados and there is ample off-road parking should you wish to hire a vehicle during your stay. Maggie and Bill have negotiated an excellent deal with a local car hire company especially for Tight Lines' guests. Bus services are close at hand and they have a set rate of BDS$ 1.50 (approx. 50p) to any destination on the island. Barbados also offers a good taxi service.

The spacious lounge/dining area is furnished with a table and chairs, a comfortable sofa and chair, a VCR, CD player, a DVD/CD player, TV (local channel only), a standing fan and a telephone for accepting incoming calls and making outgoing local calls - which are free.
