Traveling along the South Coast of Barbados? We’re sharing a few historical sites that you can visit and learn more about the history of Barbados.
Top 5 Historical South Coast Sites
- The Barbados Museum – This historic site was the home of a former British Military Prison. The prison was constructed in 1817. In 1930 it became the home of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society. After your visit, a 5-7 minute walk takes you to The Garrison Savannah.
Insider’s tip: Public transportation runs on this route from the South and the West Coast.
- George Washington House – Barbados was the only country visited by the 1st President of the United States of America. See artifacts, medical equipment, and many other fascinating historical items. A tour of George Washington House offers a journey back in time to showcase life 250 years ago. Our next stop is the Main Guard House and Clock Tower at The Garrison Savannah – a 2-minute walk.
Insider’s tip: Stop by the giant Barbados flag for a photo opp, take the children to the playpark or relax on a picnic bench.
- The Garrison Savannah in Barbados is home to many treasures. Visit the islands’ collection of 17th-century English iron cannons, the Main Guard House, and the Clock Tower. See the change of sentry at noon or experience horse racing. The annual horse racing event is an authentic local experience where you can try sno-cones, hot, crispy fish cakes, and enjoy lots of activities. An 11-minute walk takes you to our next spot: The Barbados Military Cemetry
Insider’s tip: A network of tunnels was discovered in 2012. These tunnels are open to the public for tours. For our next stop, you take the scenic beach route to visit and arrive at The Barbados Military Cemetry.
As You Continue Your Journey…
- The Barbados Military Cemetery is the resting place of the Commonwealth Armed Forces and members of the Defense Force. A walk to this site is breezy and relaxing as it is along the beachfront. At the site, the earliest grave was recorded in 1822. However, the cemetery itself has been in existence since c1780. Take a break, grab a drink at La Cabane, then head over to Needham’s point lighthouse
Insider’s tip: Go for a quick swim at La Cabane South. Swimming is much safer and, you can have a refreshing cocktail at the beachfront eatery. You can dine here or have something light at Cuzz’s fish shack if you’re heading out for dinner later
- Needham’s Point lighthouse is the final stop of our Barbados walking tour. The lighthouse is open to the public and is another picturesque spot for photography. It’s actually the second oldest lighthouse in Barbados. Interested in visiting all the lighthouses on the island? Explore South Point, Ragged Point and Harrison Point. End your day at La Cabane or enjoy calm swimming steps from Cuzz’s Fish Stand.
Insider’s tip: Visit Cuzz’s spot for an iconic fish cutter. Freshly caught local fish sandwiched in a soft and pillowy “salt bread” gives a true taste of Barbadian fare. A 2-minute walk will take you to public transportation where you can visit Bridgetown for shopping.
We hope you enjoyed our Barbados walking tour send us a note on where you like us to visit next!

Finding the right Property Management Software Solution
The need for companies to embrace technology is becoming more and more important. Property Managers must have the ability to work remotely as the demands of the job require them to be out of an office regularly. The restrictions put in place by Government during the COVID-19 pandemic have brought this need to the fore. After completing the research and testing, Blue Sky Luxury has fully invested in a web-based property management software solution.
Why invest in a Property Management Software Solution?
Blue Sky Luxury recognizes the benefits of having information about each of the property located in one centralised place. It is a much more efficient way to store and access information. Everything from owner contracts, leases, inventory lists and owner contact details can be stored here.
Each home under our management is added to the software, where preventative maintenance schedules and routine inspections are set up and scheduled. Any issues noticed while doing routine checks by the Property Manager are logged as work orders. These work orders will then be assigned to various contractors or on-site staff. The job is then monitored and tracked during the resolution process through to completion. The logging of these issues is done immediately at the property, as this software is coupled with a mobile app for both iPhone and Android devices. This makes it easy for Property Managers to submit work orders on the spot. Digital photos can also be attached to these work orders for reference. All corrective and preventative maintenance is captured and as the work progresses, updates are added as well as photos if needed (all digitally time-stamped). Vendor profiles are set up so that they can be assigned to each work order and this can be tracked as well. Quotes and other documents can be saved, and various reports are available to track to the completion of any work. This ranges from pending, active and closed work orders in progress at any property, at any point in time.
As a reference, checklists have been generated in the software system. These include health & safety checks, guest/owner arrival preparation, hurricane preparedness and COVID-19 cleaning and sanitising checks. Once submitted in the app, the checklist is stored (date and time stamped) for reference and any corrective action to be taken is logged as a work order. This has become even more important with the newly implemented protocols by the Government regarding COVID-19 and the requirements for sanitising and cleaning measures that have to be followed and completed. These checklists are also saved for audit purposes.
The coordination required to ensure that all information is always live can be very time-intensive. Having a solution that allows the Property Manager to assess issues at a holiday rental home is very important. A Property Manager or an owner may need to be able to:
- Block the availability calendar in real time due to an emergency. This avoids the possibility of bookings being taken while the property is ‘out of commission’.
- Share information on maintenance issues arising
This avoids the possibility of bookings being taken while the property is ‘out of commission’.
Work orders (service records) will be maintained for reference and can be used to support forecasting maintenance expenses and plan for fixed asset replacements. Since the software has now become a ‘home’ for all information and records regarding property-related repairs and preventative maintenance, it is a much more efficient way to report to an owner on what is happening at their property.
Contact us today for more information on what we can do to partner with you to ensure your property is looked after the way you want it to be.

Our Top Reasons to Skip the Hotel and Enjoy a Villa Holiday instead!
Fun with family and friends. Relaxation, a flexible schedule, a chance to “just be you” and enjoy those who are most special. A unique setting, space, a home away from home. All of this can be enjoyed in a gorgeous holiday home – this is what vacations are made of. More-so, with the emergence of COVID-19, and the need for social distancing, villa vacations offer so much more than a traditional hotel stay and here are our top reasons why.
Stay, Safe
With the emergence of COVID-19, the world has changed. As a result of this, holidaymakers needs and expectations have changed as well. An open buffet with hundreds of strangers around brings a sense of anxiety. Having an entire space for you and your loved ones is an offer that a hotel simply cannot match. An increasing number of travelers are into wellness and villas with private gyms, pools and even movie theaters give guests the freedom to stay, safe and relax.
So Much More than Just a Room with a View
Vacation homes offer you so much more than a room with a view. Space to play, reconnect and make memories to last a lifetime. Villa holidays provide access to a world of one-of-a-kind opportunities. Have you ever dreamed of staying in a fully staffed beachfront home with more than 20 of your nearest and dearest friends? Or on a historic island estate with your family surrounded by tropical gardens? Or in a romantic apartment just steps away from fantastic restaurants, hot spots and white sandy beaches? It is time to stop dreaming and start living. All of these memorable vacations, and many, many more are just a few clicks away.
Personal Service … Plus Privacy!
Our experienced team can assist you with choosing the perfect villa from our extensive property listings based on your unique requirements. Ultimately, the villa you choose and all of its amenities becomes your private retreat…there is no need to share with throngs of other guests. To tailor-make your holiday even further, our concierge team of island experts are available to assist with creating your perfect holiday itinerary from the moment you book your home and will also be available to assist you throughout your stay. Many villas come with their staff who look after your every need – it is truly a one-of-a-kind experience that cannot be duplicated! Even holiday homes that are located within condo resorts are more private than hotels, thanks to the spacious designs and beautiful facilities and common areas.
Great Value
Have you ever considered staying at one of the island’s top villas? Well if you travel as a group, this may very well be your reality! In comparison to hotel rooms with a usual maximum capacity of four persons, several of our villas sleep 10-plus guests. Therefore, traveling as a large group spells more value for money, since the cost is split over more guests at any one time. Additionally, many villas include extra amenities so you can enjoy relaxing at your home away from home rather than heading out daily for restaurant meals and activities.
The Joy of a Flexible Schedule
Staying at a villa during your island getaway offers the perfect canvas to let your imagination run wild! Unlike hotels which have strict schedules for dining, housekeeping and other basic services, villas give you the luxury of sleeping in late and still enjoying a fantastic breakfast, midnight dips in the pool, as well as all the other perks you need to just go with the flow and enjoy at your own pace. After all, this is your holiday so we want you to enjoy it your way!
Kids can be just that…Kids!
Don’t forget, children are very much welcomed in many of our holiday villas! If you have children traveling with you, you can let the frolicking resume as soon as they arrive at the holiday home, where kids have space to explore. Parents can easily keep an eye on the little ones, and won’t have to worry about their children venturing into restricted areas. Moreover – and probably most importantly – the youngsters won’t have to bridle their fun to avoid interrupting other guests! Preparing their food? Keeping to their nap and meal schedule? Villas have that covered too! After all happy kids mean happy holidays for parents too.
Enjoy an Authentic Barbadian Experience
Whether you choose a holiday home on the island’s south or west coasts, or a quiet retreat further inland, villas offer you a more intimate opportunity to explore the authentic Barbadian experience. Take a stroll to the local convenience store, or stop short and have some refreshing coconut water from a roadside vendor to really get a glimpse of how Barbadians live! Better yet, have your in-villa cook prepare the finest in local cuisine and indulge in the best the island has to offer!
Perfect for Families, Buddymoons & Landmark Celebrations
Our beautiful villas offer spacious rooms and grounds perfect for hosting groups of friends and family! You will be spoilt for options when trying to choose the perfect bedroom for each guest, and will cherish the time spent reconnecting by the sunny pool, sipping lemonade on the terrace or around the dinner table each evening. Villas are the top choice for families and landmark celebrations thanks to stunning venues, absolute privacy and the creation of vibrant memories. But, even after your special day has passed and the event lingers as a dear memory, you can bask in the afterglow with your loved ones at the very place where your memories were made. We invite you to make memories to last a lifetime.
