At Home on the Water: Marina Living at Port St. Charles – A Private Berth, a Plunge Pool and a Barbados Home

A private marina berth, a plunge pool overlooking the water and an established rental history. This renovated two-bedroom residence at Port St. Charles offers considerably more than a place to stay in Barbados.

For buyers considering a Caribbean property, the appeal often comes down to how much of the lifestyle is already in place. A beautiful apartment is one thing. Having a boat berth outside, a private pool to return to and access to a full-service marina community is quite another.

Located at Water’s Edge within Port St. Charles, this renovated ground-floor residence brings these elements together. Offered at US$1.15 million, the approximately 1,600 sq. ft. property combines two bedrooms, two bathrooms, fully furnished interiors, a private plunge pool and a 30-foot marina berth.

There is another interesting element to the offering: the sale includes inherited rental bookings, potentially giving the next owner an opportunity to continue an existing holiday rental operation, subject to the transfer arrangements.

1. A Marina Residence with Its Own Private Berth

For anyone who enjoys boating, the property’s private 30-foot berth is one of its most distinctive features.

Rather than having to arrange separate mooring elsewhere, the residence comes with a dedicated berth within the Port St. Charles marina. This creates a particularly appealing arrangement for owners who regularly spend time sailing, fishing or exploring the Caribbean coastline.

The marina is part of a wider waterfront community built around a sheltered lagoon with access to the Caribbean Sea. It also accommodates visiting yachts and provides marina services, including dock management and facilities for boat owners.

The community’s water taxi is another useful feature, connecting different areas of the development and making it easier to move between residences, beaches and communal facilities.

For boating enthusiasts, having a home and berth within the same community can make the practical side of enjoying the water considerably easier.

2. A Renovated Home Designed for Indoor-Outdoor Living

The residence has been fully renovated with a contemporary open-plan layout that connects the living and dining areas with the outdoor terrace.

At approximately 1,600 sq. ft., the apartment offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing comfortable accommodation for owners, family and visiting guests.

The interiors are fully furnished and offered turnkey, with the convenience of moving into a home that has already been prepared for everyday living and entertaining.

Outside, the private terrace and plunge pool create an inviting personal retreat. Whether it is an early morning swim, a quiet afternoon overlooking the marina or an evening spent entertaining friends, the outdoor space adds considerably to the property’s appeal.

The ground-floor position also makes access to the terrace particularly convenient.

Additional features include marina and sea views, assigned parking, private beach access and the security of an established gated residential community.

3. More Than an Apartment: The Port St. Charles Lifestyle

One of the advantages of buying within Port St. Charles is access to the wider facilities and services that form part of the community.

There are two beaches within the development, offering opportunities for swimming, sunbathing and enjoying the West Coast’s turquoise waters.

Sunset Island provides a communal swimming pool and seasonal poolside bar, while the sporting facilities include two floodlit tennis courts, a gym and pickleball facilities. The property listing also highlights padel courts, which buyers should confirm are available for their use.

The Yacht Club offers another social setting, with dining and opportunities to enjoy the marina atmosphere. Pier One provides open-air dining overlooking the beach and marina, with international cuisine and bar service.

The community also offers a range of practical services that can make ownership and holiday stays more convenient:

  • Water taxi: A service connecting different parts of the marina community.
  • Concierge: Assistance with restaurant reservations, activities and guest arrangements.
  • Housekeeping: Services supporting short- and long-term stays.
  • Grocery provisioning: Arrangements for food and essential supplies before arrival.
  • Airport transfers: Private transfer and VIP meet-and-greet arrangements.
  • Car hire: Vehicle rental can be organised through the concierge.
  • Activities: Excursions, fishing, water sports, island tours and other experiences can be arranged.
  • Security: A gated community with security personnel on duty around the clock.

These services are particularly relevant to international owners who may not be living in Barbados throughout the year. Rather than managing every detail independently, owners and guests can make use of the community’s hospitality and support services, subject to applicable arrangements and charges.


“What I love about this kind of property is that you can enjoy so much of the Port St. Charles lifestyle without having to leave home. Whether it’s a day out on the water or a quiet afternoon by your own pool, there’s something very special about that.”

— Zaheera Spooner, Lead Agent, NVEST Estates


An Existing Rental Opportunity for the Next Owner

Perhaps one of the more interesting aspects of this particular sale is the inclusion of inherited rental bookings.

For a buyer considering both personal use and rental potential, an existing booking schedule may provide a useful starting point. Rather than beginning the rental process entirely from scratch, the new owner may have the opportunity to take over some previously arranged guest stays.

The fully furnished interiors, private plunge pool, marina berth and access to the resort-style facilities also provide several features that may appeal to holidaymakers.

Who Might Find This Property Interesting?

This residence could suit several types of buyers.

Boating enthusiasts may place particular value on having a private 30-foot berth alongside their home, with access to the marina and wider boating community.

Holiday-home buyers can enjoy a furnished and renovated residence with its own plunge pool, beach access and a range of communal facilities.

International owners may appreciate the concierge, housekeeping and provisioning services, particularly when they are not permanently based in Barbados.

Property investors may wish to explore the inherited rental bookings and the potential to continue holiday accommodation arrangements, subject to confirmation of the transfer terms and operating costs.

What Does US$1.15 Million Really Buy?

At US$1.15 million, buyers are considering more than a renovated two-bedroom apartment. The offering combines a furnished waterfront residence, a private plunge pool, a dedicated 30-foot berth and access to the facilities and services of an established marina community.

The inherited rental bookings add another consideration for buyers interested in an existing holiday rental operation, although their transfer and financial arrangements will need to be established before purchase.

For someone who enjoys boating, values convenience and wants a Barbados home that can also be considered for holiday rental use, this Water’s Edge residence offers an interesting combination.
