As a homeowner you can rely on our experienced property management team to look after your investment. We will provide guidance on some of the things that you don’t think about until they become an issue.
You Need to Tidy Up Before a Storm
Our team of experienced Property Managers will take the appropriate preventative steps where possible, to reduce or even prevent property owners from being saddled with thousands of dollars in damages should we be affected by weather systems.
Our advice is don’t wait until the hurricane season is upon us, being prepared will alleviate several problems throughout the season.
The team will follow these emergency preparedness steps:
- Prepare emergency kits for their homes and the properties they manage.
- Make preparations for power outages.
- Ensure their gas tanks are kept full.
- Become familiar with more than one route to the properties they manage.
- Provide emergency contact details. This way guests will have direct contact if there are any issues during the storm or hurricane.
- Identify the nearest hurricane shelter and ensure that guests know how to get there in case they need to evacuate.
- Advise in-house guests to have a travel bag with essentials prepared in case they need to evacuate. It should be light and easy to carry.
- If there are pets, at any property the PM will include them in the hurricane preparedness plans.
You Need to Check Your Air Filters
Some things may require technical support, but your property manager will start with the basics to ensure that you and your guests are breathing clean air.
They will remove the filters and inspect them for any evidence of dust buildup or damage. If the air filters are dirty or damaged, these will need to be washed and sanitized, or replaced if necessary. Your property manager will contact one of our designated air-conditioning technicians to follow up and schedule the appropriate maintenance.
You Need to Clean Your Gutters
- When last were your gutters cleaned? We actually keep track! Cleaning gutters and removing any debris that can accumulate is an important part of preventative maintenance.
- A build-up of debris may cause rusting and corrosion and in some instances the debris may cause the gutters to detach from fascia boards making them look unsightly. Therefore, if you want your gutters to last long you need to clean them regularly.
- Regularly scheduled gutter cleaning will also protect your roof from leaks.
- The main purpose of gutters is to facilitate water flowing from the roof to a drain. However, if your gutters are clogged, they will not drain all water from your roof which may result in the excess water finding a way into your home through the roof, and likely causing damage to ceilings.
Think About Landscaping Maintenance
Keep your lawns, hedges, and trees cut and well-manicured. Some homeowners will schedule regular landscape maintenance for beautification, but this is also crucial for maintaining the upkeep of your property and improving its value.
As a homeowner, there are some things you won’t think about until it becomes an issue. Don’t wait. Let our Blue Sky Luxury Property Management team take care of it for you.

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!

Barbados celebrates 56 years of Independence on November 30th this year! The most authentic Barbadian sights, tastes, and sounds have been on exhibit this month all across the island, and the month’s finale features an extravaganza of events!
To start off the day, a national parade is held in recognition of this with the President and Prime Minister of Barbados in attendance. Afterward, a sumptuous Barbadian meal is the order of the day. Several of the island’s restaurants offer their Independence-themed menus, catering delicious breakfasts and lunches in a truly Bajan way. You can indulge in fried plantain, fish cakes, cou-cou and flying fish, macaroni pie, Bajan soup complete with Bajan dumplings, sweet bread, and seasonal conkies. For the rest of the big day, take a scenic island outing to see and mingle with the many happy and proud Barbadians found ‘liming’ – our version of hanging out – along the island’s shores, national parks and popular picnic spots. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to wear your blue, yellow and/or black – a representation of our national colours.
And finally, for the lovers of local music and fans of the party scene, November is now being considered the ‘New Crop Over,’ thanks to several promoters hosting independence themed parties at lovely plantation homes and other venues; party cruises along the island’s gorgeous coast; and carnival-inspired parades complete with music, paint and powder under the shimmering night’s sky. Of course, it is all topped off by the island’s favourite spirit in all its many forms – rum!
Happy Independence Barbados!

The importance of keeping a complete, catalogued, inventory listing of all of the items (including appliances, equipment, furniture, soft furnishings, cutlery, and linens) at your home cannot be overstated. All items in all areas, such as garages, storage gazebos, and should be included. This is very important when requesting insurance coverage and having the necessary documentation should an insurance claim need to be made.
How our team can help you
For Blue Sky Luxury holiday rental properties, your property manager will count, inventory, and log all of the property’s effects and complete a thorough check of the quantity and condition of the items. Your property manager will be required to conduct spot checks after each guest departure and will notify you of any proven damages or losses. Any replacements needed at that time will be purchased. These replacements and any other additions that may occur during the year will then be on the annual inventory listing when retaken.
For homes that rent long-term, full inventories are always taken and updated in between tenancies. In both cases, your property manager will be responsible for checking the home after each departure so that the reconciliation of the security deposit can be completed, with wear and tear expected depending on the length of time the tenants resided there. Similarly, any replacements and additions will be captured on the updated listing for the next expected tenant.
When offering your home for holiday rental, it is important to know and provide adequate par levels for all glassware, cutlery, dinnerware, linen, and towels. For example, you want to ensure that the home has place settings, matching glassware, and cutlery for the advertised number of guests that can be accommodated at the property plus 50%. For example, for a 4-bedroom rental property that accommodates 8 guests, the catered capacity will be 12 people.
Similarly, when a property is offered for long-term rental, adequate rent levels, while different from the expectations of a holiday rental home, are also expected.
When the inventory listing is created, the location, make, and model of all appliances and equipment are noted. During this process, it is a great opportunity to create an asset register for these items. The asset register will have all of the above details and photos, plus the serial numbers. Information, where available, on the age and value of each will be recorded.
Many services are offered during the onboarding of new homes to Blue Sky Luxury; however, if you are interested in any of these services as a one-time, separate service, please contact us for a quote.
