'Shutters' is a new but traditionally designed house on the stunning 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 and garden. All the rooms are spacious and airy, but the house is 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. The John Moore Bar is a local bar within 7 mins walk of the house. 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. A local chef is able to cook meals for guests if arranged in advance.

  • Our holiday in Barbados was the best ever, made even better by our stay in Shutters, a fantastic house perfectly located a short walk from a quiet beach. Shutters is beautifully designed, well equipped and a delight to come home to after an exhausting day at the beach. It was a treat to stay in such a comfortable house in a friendly neighbourhood. We can't wait to stay there again.

  • The most relaxing holiday I have had in a very long time. This house truly will become your home! A beautiful quiet beach is within a five minute walk. And it is only a short commute to town for necessities or some macaroni pie and local charm and hospitality. But, quite honestly... you may never want to leave Shutters! I can't wait to go back!

  • This was one of the best holidays of my life. The house is so close to the beach and accessible, yet private. It is a very large and comfortable house with well considered amenities. The neighborhood is incredibly charming. I've never been welcomed and cared for so well. I was torn between drinks at sunset on the deck or sunset on the beach (just a couple of minutes down the path) every night of my stay. Both Shutters and Barbados are often in my thoughts and always make me smile.

  • omment Text: Wonderful house for a relaxed vacation. Many unique features (shutters, beautiful wood throughout) made it a more Bajan experience than a resort would have been. The neighbors are very friendly and everyone says hello as you pass on the short walk to the beach. The beach is wonderful and uncrowded. The fish market and fruit/veg. stand are walking distance. Cold soda and beer are right next door. Bus routes can get you around if you need to go farther. Having a car is an option, not a necessity. The only problem is that time passes too quickly.

  • Have just got back from a fabulous two weeks in Shutters in Barbados. Fantastic house, beautifully decorated and lots of thoughtful touches which made our stay very comfortable. It was great to have such nice neighbours who were also able to cook evening meals for a very reasonable price - restaurant standard food and plenty of it. It was great having such a quiet beach just at the end of the road - and the pool for when we couldn't be bothered to make even that short journey.
