The Gatehouse at Pavilion Grove, Porters, Barbados.

The Gatehouse at Pavilion Grove Villa in St. James, Barbados is a quaint, country-style bungalow with white brick and green wooden trim. Just a short distance from the beautiful white sand beaches at Alleynes Bay, the Gatehouse at Pavilion Grove Villa welcomes rustic charm with vaulted wood ceilings, red-and-white-striped classic beach loungers on the pool deck, a decorative tugboat float, and beautiful gardens making this getaway a home away from home.

Two bedrooms with king-sized beds feature ensuite bathrooms complete with vanities, WCs, and showers. Access to the poolside terrace is available from the master suite, which boasts cheerful, island-green accents on white linens, comforting white drapes on wooden trim, and a large television subtly mounted on a corner wall. The other king suite features a gorgeous writing desk beneath a cunning mirror-and-bubble accent piece, and a long window over the king-bed headboard to let in natural lighting. This suite also has terrace access.

Close shrubs and palms give way to green lawns and taller palms, offering both space and privacy. The house is surrounded by a wrap-around porch and the entryway stairs are white tile leading down a tiled path to the driveway. Seafoam-green support beams and wrought-iron banisters bring the charming scene together. A small plunge pool occupies the back terrace next to a set of pool loungers outside the master bedroom.

An alfresco dining set on the pool terrace offers fine eats under the Caribbean sunset skies. Complimentary concierges can arrange for an in-villa gourmet meal prepared by chefs, or an in-house spa treatment. As experts in providing hospitality, concierges assist with travel arrangements and trip logistics for all guests, ensuring vacation is a logistics-free, pampered experience.

Relax at the end of the day in the comfortable sofas that occupy the main living space around a large television accented by tropical bromeliads and ferns, and framed by wood-trimmed windows with sheer curtains that encourage tropical breezes. Two bar chairs at a granite counter overlooking a modern kitchen with a refrigerator that is cleverly designed to look like the cabinetry.
