2 Bedroom Villa in Long Bay

In the Middle Ages, a castle's "close" was the area immediately adjacent to a great lord's keep. On the island of Barbados, the exclusive residential compound known as Castle Close also stands in the shadow of a great man's house... in this case, the splendid Regency "castle" built by the island's most notorious son, wastrel, and privateer, Sam Lord.

Carrington is one of the privately-owned bungalows in the lushly-landscaped Castle Close that are available for short-term rental. It features a living and dining area with a peaked ceiling, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a patio edged with tropical flora. A separate bedroom wing, located across a covered breezeway, includes two identical bedroom suites, each with a dressing area and bathroom but with their own decor. Air-conditioning units are provided in each bedroom but are seldom required, as cooling breezes waft through the villa day and night.

Carrington has its own large pool. A delightful gazebo is positioned to one side of the pool deck where guests may sit in the shade and enjoy the view overlooking the beach and ocean. There is also a staircase that leads directly down to the secluded, palm-shaded beach that lies below the Castle Close area.

Daily maid service is provided at Carrington. For guests who wish to take meals at their bungalow, arrangements can be made for a cook to provide local cuisine.
