About

About this villa

Shutters sits on the ground floor of a four storey building within Coral Cove, the well-regarded development on the West Coast at Paynes Bay, St. James. It is a 3-bedroom apartment built for guests who want sea views and an easy walk to the beach rather than anything showy. The interior is open-plan, so the kitchen, dining and living areas flow into one another. The kitchen has been newly refurbished and comes fully equipped, good for anything from a quick breakfast to a proper dinner party. Air conditioning runs throughout the apartment, and the living spaces are decorated in a calm, understated style that makes the place easy to settle into. Each of the 3 bedrooms has its own ensuite bathroom, so there are 3 bathrooms in total and no one has to share. The bedrooms are quietly furnished and air conditioned, meant as proper places to rest after a day on the water or by the pool deck of the complex. The decor is kept simple and comfortable rather than fussy. Outside, a private balcony runs off the main living area with open views over the turquoise water of the Caribbean Sea. It is the kind of spot for a coffee in the morning, a sundowner in the evening, or dinner outside with nothing blocking the view of the sea. The outlook is uninterrupted, which is one of the apartment's real draws. Coral Cove itself takes care of the practical side of a stay. There is 24-hour security on the complex, a concierge service on hand for requests and local recommendations, and a maid service that comes three times a week to keep the apartment in order throughout a stay. Paynes Bay Beach is within walking distance of Shutters, and it is one of the better-known beaches on this stretch of coast, with soft white sand and clear water that suits swimming and sunbathing alike. The same walk brings guests close to beach bars, water sports operators and a number of restaurants, so there is plenty to do without needing to travel far from the apartment.
