The house
Two floors, cream walls and pale tile, with three deliberate bursts of colour: the accent wall in the living room, a hand-painted jungle mural climbing the stairs, and bright metal geckos on the patio wall. Bedrooms are upstairs, all queen beds, all with balcony access. The main floor holds the living room, the dining area, a covered patio and the study.
A room with a door, a desk and a good chair — for the morning you need to take a call, or the month you decide to work from here.
Room by roomFour minutes on foot: down 2nd Avenue, right along Dover Road to the beach access.
Walking directions in Google MapsWhere it is
Dover sits at the quieter end of the south coast. Dover Beach and the boardwalk are a flat four-minute walk away; head the other way along Dover Road for the bars and restaurants of St Lawrence Gap. Oistins is ten minutes by car, the airport about twenty.

Check datesThe house
Two floors, room by room
Bedrooms upstairs, living space and the study on the main floor, two bathrooms up and one down. Cream walls, pale tile, light oak — and three places where the colour arrives on purpose.
Bedroom two
Queen bed and air conditioning, opening onto the balcony it shares with bedroom three.
bedroom-three.jpgThe third bedroom with a queen bed and light oak furniture.
Bedroom three
Queen bed, air conditioning, and the other set of doors onto the shared balcony.
Living room
The accent wall, a queen sofa bed, and a 75-inch television. The dining area sits alongside it, and the covered patio is through the doors.
study.jpgThe study with a desk, a chair and a single daybed.
Study
A room with a door, a desk and a good chair — for the morning you need to take a call, or the month you decide to work from here. There's a monitor, keyboard and mouse to plug your laptop into, and a single daybed for one: full length at 190 × 71 cm (about 6'3" × 2'4"), a little narrower than a standard single, so it suits a teen or a slim adult. See how the study daybed opens (video)
Kitchen
Five burners, a full-size fridge with ice and water, a Vitamix and a Nespresso machine with the pods already in the cupboard. Cook properly, or don't — Oistins is ten minutes away.
Covered patio
Off the living room, shaded through the afternoon, with a table you can eat at properly. The metal geckos are on this wall.
The stairs
A hand-painted jungle mural runs the height of the stairwell. It was made for this house and it is the loudest thing in it.
Master bathroom
Ensuite to the master bedroom, with a rain shower.
Upstairs bathroom
Off the upstairs hallway, serving bedrooms two and three. Rain shower, like the others.

Dover & the Gap
What is on the doorstep
Dover is at the quieter end of the south coast, close enough to walk to the beach and the restaurants, far enough back to sleep.

Four minutes on foot: down 2nd Avenue, right along Dover Road to the beach access.
Dover Beach
Four minutes on foot, about 300 m and flat. Soft sand, a lifeguard through the day, and water that stays calm enough for children most of the year. There is a small park behind it with shade if the afternoon gets long. Go early and it is nearly empty.
The south coast boardwalk
The boardwalk starts a few minutes east and runs about a mile to Rockley, along the water the whole way. It is flat, it is busy at sunrise with people walking and running, and there are benches and a couple of places to buy a drink. The best walk on this coast.
St Lawrence Gap
The strip of restaurants and bars just west of the house — fish, pizza, rum, live music on some nights. It gets loud at the far end after eleven; the house is far enough back that you hear none of it. Book a table on a Saturday.
Oistins on a Friday night
Ten minutes by car. The fish fry at the market: grilled marlin or flying fish, macaroni pie, plastic chairs, loud music, everyone from the island and everyone visiting. Get there around seven, before the queues, and pay cash.
Groceries
Massy Supermarket at Sky Mall or the Big B at Worthing are both under ten minutes by car and stock more or less everything. There is also a small shop within walking distance for milk, bread and beer.
Getting here from the airport
Grantley Adams is about twenty minutes away. We can arrange a driver to meet your flight for a fixed fare — tell us the flight number when you book. Taxis at the airport are fixed-rate by zone; agree the price before you set off. Cars can be hired if you want to explore the east coast, but you do not need one to stay here.
