Beautiful House on the West Coast of Barbados

We had a really amazing stay at Shutters. The location is in a residential area with really nice neighbours and an easy walk to the beach, and a great fish market. It was an easy ride to the Massey in Holetown for groceries. The backyard of the home is a lovely oasis, and the kitchen was super well equipped which is not a given for a rental. The large table outside was the perfect spot for meals and games. Communication with the host was exceptionally good as we faced plane delays and had questions. A terrific choice, we were so pleased.

We had a lovely time. Kitchen and bathrooms a lii

Great house in an incredible location. It has everything you need and is extremely well appointed. We were so sad to leave! Simply wonderful.

Shutters is a great house with plenty of space. Located within walking distance of a very nice beach and a short drive to several others. Also plenty of shops and restaurants within a short driving distance. I would definitely recommend having a car when renting Shutters and getting acquainted with the very nice neighbors. With the exception of a couple of appliances needing a little updating, it is a great place!

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!

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

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.

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!

Fabulous property in a great location. Eudora the housekeeper and Kathy the gardener were great . Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Shutters was a wonderful home. It was the perfect place to stay for our party of 6 people. My adult kids enjoyed the pool when we were not at one of the local beaches or touring the island. The location is ideal with a short drive into Holetown.
