WHERE YOUR BARBADOS STORY BEGINS

Be Inspired

At Inspired By The Caribbean, we believe buying, renting a home and owning a home in Barbados should feel
clear, supported and deeply aligned with the life you want to build.

You bring the vision. We guide the path.

Most international clients come to us with the same hopes. A place where life slows. A place to feel safe and connected. A place where family returns again and again because it simply feels right. Our role is to help you turn that vision into a reality.

Every home we offer is chosen with intention. Style, comfort and long term value guide our recommendations so you never feel overwhelmed or uncertain. You get honest guidance, clarity at every step and a partner who treats your investment with the same care you would.

Your experience does not end at the sale. Our concierge level support includes property management, rental preparation and connections to the island’s best attorneys, contractors, designers and chefs. We make sure your home is well cared for and that your arrival never feels stressful.

Luxury, to us, is personal. It is the feeling of being understood. It is a home that reflects your lifestyle.
It is service that anticipates your needs before you ask.

Welcome to Inspired By The Caribbean.

Where you bring the dream and we help you live it with confidence.

from our clients

Maisha is the Best! she is thorough and professional and great to work with. She kept us apprised of all available Barbados properties that fit our criteria as well as new ones that became available on the market. Maisha was more than helpful in finding us a home. She was extremely informative and easy to reach to answer many of our questions. Consequently, she found us a fabulous Barbados Villa right in our price range! Since we are not located on island, Maisha made what could have been a bumpy ride, much smoother and most of all rewarding.

Maisha was amazing helping me find and purchase my home. The sale was done long distance and through video chat and I had to put my full trust in her to get it done. She was on the ball, responsive, and helpful. She helped to speed things up when they stalled, and she has remained communicative even after the sale. I highly recommend Maisha if you are considering purchasing or selling a property.

We happened up Maisha through a real estate online ad inquiry and I am so glad we did. Maisha has been exceptional throughout the process of our real estate purchase. She is very patient to the enormous number of questions we sent her way. If she didn’t know the answer she found the answer very quickly. No request was to big. Maisha made the daunting task of purchasing property international a breeze. Her easy going personality makes you feel like you’ve known her all you life. I would recommend her to anyone.
