About this property

Beautiful House on the West Coast of Barbados

Recently approved Covid19 quarantine accommodation.

'Shutters' is a traditionally designed house on the famous west coast of Barbados. Within 5 minutes walk of the quiet but stunning Reeds Bay (see photo), 'Shutters' has the added advantage of a private pool (18' x 12') and garden. All the rooms are spacious and airy, but the house comes with all bedrooms being fully air-conditioned for those who prefer the cold!

'Shutters' is in the village of Lower Carlton which is between Holetown to the south, and Speightstown to the north. Consequently it is within easy reach of all the fabulous bars and restaurants the west (Platinum) coast has to offer. Lower Carlton itself is a very quiet, sleepy village but the Carlton Variety Store (3-4 mins walk from Shutters) offers amazing rum punch, beers and general chatting most nights with fantastic grilled fish on Thurs, Friday and Saturdays, and the famous John Moore Bar is a 8 or 10 mins walk from the house, and there are several nice little eateries within 10 minutes walk. Lower Carlton has a fishmarket which sells the most delicious (and cheap) fish, and a fruit and veg stall which sells local produce. There is also a small mini-mart. For additional shopping Bridgetown, Holetown and Speightstown are a quick bus ride away.

There are a wide variety of activities available up and down the west coast, and the wild surfing water of the east coast is about 40 minutes drive away. The house is 40 minutes from the airport.

'Shutters' is tastefully furnished and comfortable. The housekeeper will clean the house and change the bed linen and towels twice a week. The garden and pool are tended to weekly.
Inclusive in the rental fee is the Mandatory Shared Levy Fee which paid onto the Barbados revenue Authority at 10%

Amazing and Enchanting Vacation Experience
Shutters is an all-around incredible place for a family holiday. It is located in a typical Bajan neighborhood that is verdant and is surrounded by friendly people and animal life. Test it is also extremely private for a self-contained stay, with expansive property envelope, swimming pool, and large balcony and patio area for ultimate relaxation. Best of all, it is only 5 minutes walk from Reeds Bay Beach, which is beautiful and never too crowded. Both Jackie and Eudora the housekeeper are very easy to communicate with, and the house is amply stocked for cooking. One very slight suggestion would be to leave enough toilet tissue on hand for a 1-week stay, since it is a little difficult to replenish this item in the immediate neighborhood. But overall, we couldn’t have asked for more in a vacation rental. Bravo!

Lovely Villa
2 weeks in beautiful Barbados. Shutters Villa is a short 5 minute walk to one of the best beaches on the West Coast. We wanted a place close to Speightstown as we are scuba divers and dive with Reefers and Wreckers who are excellent! The bedrooms are all air conditioned and the Villa is well equipped for guests. Beds comfortable. As it is in an area that is not just hotels and apartments, there is plenty of local ‘wildlife’ to keep you entertained from goats to chickens to monkeys. Everyone is super friendly and there is a convenience store next door. Local restaurants are a short walk or drive away. If you are a light sleeper you may need ear plugs as the roosters like to tell everyone to wake up quite early. I would recommend this Villa to families or groups of friends as there is plenty of space. Lots of hangers in the wardrobes too! One small ‘criticism’ is that you won’t have access to the tumble dryer as it is only accessible to the housekeeper who comes in twice each week. With the tropical climate it rains regularly and it was a challenge to dry enough towels after a day at the beach when they needed a wash, or if clean ones were left out to dry, they got wet. We enjoyed evenings on the covered patio or in the living room playing board and card games and the variety store at the bottom of the road has an excellent food option on Friday and Saturday nights. We also love The Fish Pot if you want something a little fancier with excellen food and not too expensi

Lovely villa - served its purpose
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shutters Villa. Jackie did EVERYTHING to make our stay a truly memorable experience. The villa was charming, the garden and lounge area were absolutely spectacular. We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend a visit.

You gotta stay here!
Shutters is a gorgeous house. Once you get there you won't want to leave! Booking with Jackie makes it even better. Communication is clear, she provides you with all the information you will need to enjoy the house and the neighbourhood. We are frequent visitors to the Bim and we will definitely rent Shutters again. Thanks for everything Jackie!

Why they chose this property

We chose to have Shutters in Lower Carlton because I'd visited Barbados many times and wanted to have a house with a Bajan feel away from the massive hotels. It turns out to have been a wise choice because the neighbourhood is very safe and the neighbours extremely friendly and helpful. Many of our guests leave the house on first name terms with the neighbours.
