Marsh Mellow is a custom-designed villa situated on a ridge overlooking the West Coast of Barbados and the sparkling Caribbean Sea.

Uniquely designed in a half-moon crescent shape with ivy-covered Italian-style columns and arches, this fabulous holiday villa offers guests the wonder of enjoying panoramic ocean views from every room.

The central entryway leads into the open-air living room, which overlooks the garden, fountain, infinity-edge pool, and then on to the ocean beyond. The master bedroom is located at the northern tip of the crescent, and it opens on to a small terrace with direct access to the pool deck. The en-suite bathroom features a large walk-in closet, soaking tub, and open-air shower. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are also situated on the northern curve, each with an en-suite bathroom and open-air shower. Bedroom 2 can interconnect with the master bedroom if guests wish. The southern curve of the crescent is where you will find bedroom 4 (also with an en-suite bathroom), an open-air dining room and indoor garden, and the large, well-equipped kitchen.

All rooms have direct access to the garden and pool deck, where you can relax with a good book and work on your suntan, or gather at sunset for cocktails as you keep an eagle eye out for the "green flash." Marsh Mellow is a great vacation rental villa for families or groups of friends travelling together.

Speightstown, Barbados, features Bajan cuisine in a coastal setting, with lively bars offering local rum cocktails and stunning nearby beaches:

The Villa was spectacular with gorgeous views. The layout worked very well. The pool was wonderful and a great place to finish off the afternoon after a beach day. Janelle was our concierge and she could not have made it any easier. The pre arrival planning was a huge help from her. Maureen the chef was spectacular. We had her make some appetizers for our arrival and that lovely lady can cook. Melisa the housekeeper was likewise great. House was kept spotless and she would get clothes washed and returned for you every day, They we all just incredibly warm and welcoming.We will definitely be back to Barbados and to Marsh Mellow

The Blue Sky team was amazing. In particular, Maureen (chef) and Melissa (housekeeper) were absolutely phenomenal - literally went above and beyond to make sure that our family of 8 had the perfect stay. The villa itself is also beautiful. I would note that I didn't realize how much of an outdoor layout it is- only the bedrooms are really indoor-- the main 'living room' is outside. So you need to also be okay with the little millipedes and lizards stopping by the bedrooms. But the master bedroom and bathroom were perfect, and the pool area was of course stunning. We would definitely return!

My family had a great trip a few weeks ago at Marshmallow house. The house has a very cool layout and is conducive to big family’s with kids. The staff Ms. Patricia, Ms. Melissa and Ms. Andrea did a wonderful job taking care of us. They felt like family by the end of the trip. I’d highly recommend this property for a vacation

Marsh Mellow was a beautiful setting for our family vacation. We particularly enjoyed the ocean view, the fountain, and time by the pool. Each of the rooms was spacious & well-appointed. The master suite was particularly deluxe! The indoor/outdoor set-up of the rooms, with the outdoor showers was really unique. There are many beautiful spaces that are technically outdoors, but sheltered from the elements, including the dining and living room areas. The staff were also really wonderful. They were very attentive, kind, and responsive to our needs. Thank you!

The service from all the team at Blue Sky Luxury was 5* from start to finish. We were fully supported at every stage from enquiry, booking, pre-arrival and the way through to after we left in a thorough, courteous and professional manner. For this alone we highly recommend Blue Sky and will be back again as soon as we can. Marsh Mellow was a fantastic property for us. It was recommended by Blue Sky based on our requirements and fitted the brief perfectly. The outdoor space and pool are large, open and with phenomenal views - the best sunsets we've ever seen! The bedrooms are spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, as are the communal spaces with comfortable furnishings and a well kept garden. We felt safe, relaxed and comfortable throughout our stay and would highly recommend Marsh Mellow. It would be suitable for couples, families or even singles. Hoping we can enjoy another sunset by the pool with a rum punch again soon! Thank you to all at Blue Sky

One of the most glorious and magical weeks of our lives. We loved Marsh Mellow and the fun and lively women who keep it running smoothly. Barbados is paradise and we are so grateful to have spent a week in its sunshine and sand! A little island air sure cured the winter blues and helped melt the ice we felt had settled in our bones! Thank you, Thank you, for sharing this gorgeous villa with us. It was a dream. We hope to be back soon!

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house was perfect for our family and the view is stunning. The pool was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the house. From tours around the island, snorkel trips with turtles and shipwrecks and days spent at the beach bar watching the World Cup, our holiday was all we could ask for and more. The staff made the house feel like home and we will miss them just as much as the house. Thank you for having us and we hope we can return!

Annual Ladies Group (8 Ladies) week in Barbados and we thought we would try a villa instead of a resort - great decision! The villa is lovely. You definitely require a car. Very unique layout but easy to navigate and lots of quiet areas for everyone to enjoy. The staff was wonderful. Pam the cook was fantastic and catered to everyone's likes/dislikes. Melissa and Marguerite kept everything spotless and Marguerite even did our laundry! The villa is up on a hill midway between Holetown and Speightstown. Beach

We absolutely loved our time here at Marsh Mellow and really appreciated Leigh-Ann's help during our stay. The holiday was perfect.We would like to thank Lasonta, Melissa and Deborah for all of their help over the 9 days. They all went well over and above to ensure that we had an enjoyable stay. Losanta in particular was amazing, she is incredibly talented and was great at dealing with a (fairly demanding!) baby, as well as some random requests from the rest of us. We wanted to take them all back home with

This Barbados trip was my first trip staying in a villa. I had high expectations and was not disappointed. I traveled with 5 friends and a child. We were looking for an experience that would allow us to congregate and enjoy each others company and we accomplished that. The accommodations at Marsh Mellow were comfortable, clean and well maintained. The amenities such as the on-site concierge (Julie), cook (Marcia), housekeeper (Val) and laundress (Melissa) were nice additions as well. Our on-site team was ve
