Shoestring

In our view

Shoestring is a beautifully positioned 3-bedroom beach house with stunning contemporary interiors. Overlooking the sea at Gibbs Beach with wonderful view throughout – wow!

Set against a backdrop of towering trees and the aquamarine sea, this wonderful beachfront home has echoes of the Barbados wooden chattel house. Bold architectural layering with large living areas, surrounding louvre windows and oversized glass doors allows for extensive views of the garden and what is undeniably one of the best beaches in Barbados. Smooth granite finishes and plenty of glass reflects a minimalistic design approach and the straight lines and shape of the front entrance, hovering over a peaceful koi pond evokes a clear sense of sophisticated and modern tranquillity.

Expanded floor plans, minimal interior walls and an emphasis on views and daylight are the defining characteristics of Shoestring which offers an upper-level master suite built around a large glass shower enclosure and an unrivalled view of the sea just steps away. An outdoor jacuzzi makes for good stargazing with the lapping shore as background music. The two additional lower level bedrooms are also en-suite, one boasting a cool bath with garden views. All bedrooms have King beds and air-conditioned.

The open floor plan continues to the kitchen and living areas and lets an abundance of light fill the space. Light-coloured wall surfaces, clean, modern detailing, uncluttered spaces and a neutral colour palette give the interior a calm, interesting appeal for those visitors who wish for more than just a place to lay their heads.

Gibbs beach is well positioned between Holetown and Speightstown and is an ideal base for exploring the island or simply relaxing in relative tranquility.
