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!

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.

Best view of the island

The house was great and clean. The highlight of the place is the amazing view from the patio. We really appreciated it. The host was great and super communication. The only cons is that there was no Air Conditionning so it was pretty warm and humid at night.

Very non-touristy. The house had an amazing view of the cliffs and ocean. Near constant breeze made the 80-85 degree temp very comfortable. Driving can be intimidating for the first few days

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.

Stunning views and amazing sunrises

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!

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.

Fabulous Getaway

This is a villa for people who want to sample the real Barbados on the unspoiled east coast. Your neighbours are friendly locals and sometimes grazing goats! The view from the balcony is spectacular and it's where we enjoyed all our meals and rum punch! We rented a car [ highly recommended ] so it was easy to explore all the natural beauty of the rugged east coast The villa was large, airy and well equipped without a need for air conditioning as the ocean breezes kept everything very comfortable Caroline and her husband own and manage the property and are excellent hosts, they respond quickly to any requests For a completely relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable vacation in Barbados you can't beat Farther Away

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!

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

We had the most wonderful time at Farther Away. Christine and David have a fantastic property. They are great a host. The view is unbeatable over the ocean. We had our 2 children with us and it was so nice for them to to have there own room. The deck is huge and the kids loved the hammock. The breeze that runs through the house is wonderful. Christine and David keep the house sooo nice. David's Rum punch is top notch!!! Thanks for the recipe :). David was so nice to meet us at the airport and take is by the grocery store before we got to the house. I would suggest renting a car and exploring the island, so much to see in beautiful Barbados. Thanks again Christine and David. I would definitely book again!!!

Hidden Gem

Farther Away is a hidden gem on the East Coast. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. The house is well equipped and cozy. Caroline was helpful throughout the whole booking process and arrival, helping us to get to the villa safe and sound. We highly recommend to rent a car if staying at Farther Away. It is a 30 minute drive to get to the beaches on the south coast. Inquire about the Sargassum seaweed before booking as the beach was covered with it. The east coast is more affected by it. However, this did not affect our overall experience with the house. It should just be noted if you plan to use the beach throughout your whole stay. Barbados is a beautiful island, as is Farther Away. Thank you for a great family trip.

Wonderful Vacation in an Amazing Cottage

My boyfriend and I stayed at Farther Away together with another couple to celebrate my 30th birthday and christmas. We had an amazing time in this beautiful cottage and would recommend it to everyone who is traveling to Barbados looking for a place away from the tourist crowd. The cottage is nicely placed on a cliff overlooking skeetes bay. The highlight for us was the huge outside deck where we spent almost all our time. The house is very well equipped, especially the kitchen (you would find anything you need and even more). Everything is perfectly clean and maintained - just a place you don't want to leave anymore. :) Also the owners of the house were the perfect hosts and assisted us with everything before and during our travels: they did grocery shopping for us, so we would have something to eat when we arrived late from the airport, they would check in on us regularly to see if everything was okay, they would come by the house and refill the gas for the BBQ and they would pick us up and drop us in the airport.... There is really nothing that could have been better and we truly hope to be able to come back one day!

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!
