About Timothy Boyce

Hosted by Timothy Boyce Timothy Boyce is the Managing Director of Tourism Investment Management Inc. He has over 30 years of experience in resort hotel management, both in operations and in financial capacity. He takes pride in the restoration of historic properties, and Villa Jarrow—over 200 years old—is one of those historic properties that he boldly defied the banks and engineers to restore. A wonderful job was done over the two years it took to restore the property. The repeat ratio of over 60% is a testament to the vacation experience offered at this historic property nestled in the heart of most of the requisites for a lasting holiday experience. Why they chose this property: Let our previous guests answer this question. "The best vacation spot on the island!" – Left on 04/17/2014 for a stay in March 2014. This was our second time spending our vacation at Villa Jarrow, and we could not have asked for anything more. The location, view, and accommodations were just perfect. We saw many people walking by on the beach, looking at us with envy as we lounged or barbecued on the front balcony overlooking the ocean. In addition to the villa being a great place to stay, the water out front was perfect for swimming—clear blue and calm, with beautiful sand bars that we could walk or swim out to. We even saw a sea turtle swimming through the water on many of the days we sat out front. The location was the best! Despite driving around the whole island and visiting several other parishes and beaches, we came to the conclusion that we still thought ours was the best of the bunch! We would definitely return again and have recommended Villa Jarrow to many of our friends already. Timothy was the best—he called to check in on us several times during the week, always jolly and willing to help us out with any inquiries we had. He even drove us to the grocery store on the first day so we could stock up our kitchen for the week. Thanks, Timothy, for making our stay as amazing as it was! 37Nicola, London, United Kingdom: "What a view and turtles!!! You're not on the sea, you're in the sea... I keep the pictures of this place in my appointment book back home so I can daydream..." – Mr. Rousseau, Quebec, Canada "We had a glorious time here... We all can see God's handiwork and the beauty of His creation right here in Barbados!" – Mr. and Mrs. Peterson, Texas, USA What makes this property unique: This property was built in Barbados by a businessman from the industrial coal mining town of Jarrow on the River Tyne in England. It sits on one of the best beaches on the island, and one of the unique features of this beach at Half Moon Bay is the historical practice of fishermen bringing in the day's catch of fresh fish available in the bay. The fishermen catch them fresh off the reef and fillet them ready for the grill! Our guests love this experience! At this location, you are within walking distance to all essentials for an enjoyable holiday. A taxi or hired car is only necessary if you are going for an island tour. You can also swim with the turtles in the bay. The patio of the villa overlooks the beach. The bay is where you will experience a fantastic New Year's Eve fireworks display on the water, put on by the businesses in St. Lawrence Gap. There are many other activities awaiting our guests. If you enjoy lovely sunsets, welcoming the morning sun, looking across the water to a blue horizon, jogging along a wide long beach, snorkeling, and being within walking distance to all nightlife and the best restaurants on the island, then this villa is your home away from home. Its owner will combine his resort experience to create that lasting vacation experience that you deserve.
