Captain's Deck

Right down on the sands of popular Mullins Beach, this Bajan beauty is just a few feet from the sea. A traditional beach house with two glorious sun decks, this place has been designed to focus on the view. Step out of your cool, comfortable living room and enjoy your breakfast on the covered dining terrace, with the waves lapping at the shore just beneath. There's no pool here, but that's because you really couldn't get any closer to the water – head off for daily swims in the clear blue of the Caribbean and dry off in the sun on one of your loungers. The interior is modern and minimal, with a weathered, vintage look to the 'pickled' wood ceilings. There's a contemporary kitchen for you to rustle up snacks and drinks but thanks to your housekeeper/cook you won't have to worry too much about cooking – you'll have two delicious meals per day provided. The second bedroom is full of island charm, with beamed ceilings, shutters and French doors opening to the lower deck, while the stunning master bedroom upstairs has vaulted ceilings, a superb en-suite and its own private elevated sun deck with panoramic sea views. It's easy to forget you’re on an island known for its activity and nightlife with all this natural beauty on your doorstep, but there are all sorts of water sports to get involved with from the beach, and you can walk to a number of beach bars and restaurants.

Home truths:
*A friendly housekeeper/cook will prepare two consecutive meals per day – it's up to you whether that's breakfast and lunch, or lunch and dinner
*The ceilings are sloping in the loft bedroom, so mind your head if you're on the taller side
