Fantastic 3 week stay

Thoroughly enjoyed Porter's Court both the #2 accommodations and the pool area. Great location for utilizing the fanastic area beaches. Very central to enjoy everything that the Holetown through Speightstown area has to offer, as well easy and convienent to drive to other areas of Barbados.

Fabulous stay in great location

We have stayed at Porters Court before and Sarah's villa did not disappoint. A beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bathroom villa with everything you need for a fantastic stay. Lovely terraces front and rear of the property and a gorgeous hammock that was well used. The villa was comfortable, welcoming and a perfect base for exploring this part of the country. The pool around the villas was excellent and there was always room on a sunbed there.

Home from home

Fabulous little villa exactly as described in the listing. A real home from home with everything you could possibly need right down to bags for life for when you go to the supermarket. Perfect location less than ten mins walk to the beach. Far enough from the town to avoid the hustle and bustle but close enough to access restaurants bars and shops. Peaceful location the only sound u’ll hear is the tree frogs n crickets . Great comms from the owner Wouldn’t hesitate to book again

We were delighted with everything about this spacious bright and tranquil villa. It was over the road to the beach and yet very private and peaceful. We did not drive but the bus stop was just before getting to the beach so frequent buses were handy to get to the grocery store in Holetown and to venture further in either direction. A couple of small questions we had were answered immediately by the property manager. We enjoyed our stay very much.

A beautiful escape with space to relax

The home is beautiful with lots of space. The kitchen is fully equiped, but bring your own tupperware and dried goods. The pool is incredible and the property shared with the other 8 cottages is immaculate. The property is gated and very safe. The beach is a 3 minute walk and stunning. A car is not necessary because the island buses are frequent and inexpensive; we rented a car for ease with travelling further to explore other parts of the island. Would recommend this cottage or other ones in the complex!

Home away from home

We are semi retired and trying just getting away for a couple of weeks mid winter. We didn’t want hustle and bustle, just relaxing!! This was the perfect place. So close to everything and getting around was so easy using the buses and walking. We would walk the beautiful beach in the morning and cool off in the pool in the afternoon!! Everyone in the Porters court was so friendly and it quickly became a little community. The villa was as seen in the pictures. We spent a lot of time on the front porch or the hammock. The back deck was quiet and a great place to read a book. We would highly recommend this villa for a relaxing holiday

Wonderful winter holiday

This villa was perfect for our needs. It was completely equipped and comfortable for our extended stay. We ate all our meals on the porch and enjoyed the view of the bougainvillea and the smell of the orchid tree. We spent most of our days at the beach, but would enjoy the oasis of calm when arriving back to the villa. We walked to Lonestar and Jumas for supper, but there are also restaurants on the beach for lighter fare. We took the ten minute bus ride into Holetown to Massy grocery store, and then grabbed a taxi for the return trip. Sarah was a delight to deal with and Sheila with her twice weekly visits, kept the villa in tip top shape. We look forward to our return to paradise.

“An Absolute Gem – 2 Porters Court Exceeded Every Expectation!”We’ve just returned from a magical 10-day stay at 2 Porters Court in Barbados. The house itself is a perfect blend of classic Bajan architecture with modern amenities. The open-plan living area flows seamlessly onto a nice covered terrace surrounded by beautiful tropical vegetation. You’re always just steps from that incredible view over the West Coast toward the Caribbean Sea. There are two spacious, air-conditioned bedrooms (all en-suite), each tastefully decorated and with comfortable beds. Location-wise, it’s perfection: tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the prestigious Porters/St James area, yet only a 3-minute minute walk to the beach The gardens are lush and well-maintained, the pool is large and sparkling clean (with plenty of comfortable loungers), and there’s even a little outdoor shower and 10 min drive to Holetown and its restaurants and Limegrove shopping. We felt completely secluded yet never far from anything we neededThe kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need.Sarah has been very helpful providing any info we neededThank you! We’ll be back!

Lovely villa in perfect location

The villa was perfect for a relaxing getaway for our family of four. Well appointed, comfortable and in a very calm and relaxing location - we spent many hours on the porch and in the hammock enjoying the weather and watching the hummingbirds, the tropical birds, chickens and even green monkeys that would stop by to say hello. The kitchen is well appointed - we were there over Xmas and cooked dinner in many nights and had everything we needed. The beach is literally a 5 minute walk away - there is a little back walkway that leads directly to the front of the Fairmont hotel and the local bus to holetown. The beach is amazing beach and you can rent beach loungers and umbrellas for the day (go to the end of the fairmont hotel in the direction away from Holetown and look for the Blue umbrellas and loungers which are for rent for th eday). The neighborhood is very safe and we walked to the local bakery and minimart almost daily and we took the local bus to Holetown too (a 10 min ride and bargain at $3.50). Sarah was a great host and even kindly arranged our taxis. Lovely place and we will be back again soon.

We have Rented this quaint Villa Several Times

We have rented this quaint villa several times and always feel really at home there. It’s location is absolutely perfect ! A minute walk to a bus stop and only a five minute walk to Alleynes Bay beach. On this gorgeous beach you can find several beach bars including jujus and the wonderful Lone Star Restaurant. There are sunbeds to hire and water sports facilities, including waterskiing and inflatable rides. As for the development of Porters Court, it’s very peaceful with beautiful tropical gardens. There are just 8 cottages with a lovely, good sized communal pool. Number 2 is one of the larger properties and the only one with a large decked area to the rear of the property which can be accessed by both back doors. Both bedrooms are of a good size and both are en-suite. There’s plenty of bedding and bath and beach towels. The kitchen is large and has all the equipment that is needed, including a dishwasher and cool boxes to take your beers down to the beach. The house has both ceiling fans and AC. The lounge in airy and light with excellent WiFi and sky TV. Our favourite part of the property is the wrap around veranda with table and chairs to eat at and hammock to laze on. The property owner and manager and both great to deal with and reply to questions quickly. To sum up a lovely relaxing property in a beautiful lush location close to all amenities of near by Holetown. We look forward to visiting again on the 20th Dec this year for Xmas. Louise and Family

Great stay at No 2

I have stayed at other properties in Porters Court before so knew that the location of Sarahs property would be perfect. We had a few little niggles when we arrived, but easy communication with both Sarah and Jeannine, the property manager, got things sorted and it did not spoil our enjoyment of staying there. A booklet giving details of places to eat, transport, emergency services, location of doctors etc would be useful for first time visitors, but as someone who knows the island this didnt affect us. The villa is super comfortable and tucked away in the corner, so peaceful. Thank you Sarah and Jeannine.

Porter's Court is a hidden gem .. just off the beaten path making for a quiet and relaxing stay, yet steps away from the beaches, Holetown and some fabulous restaurants.

Very relaxing & pleasant stay

We were greeted by Alfreda at the property who was very friendly and helpful. The property was very clean with all the items required for a very pleasant stay. We enjoyed our breakfast in the morning sitting on the front porch and our G&Ts on the back terrace in the evening only comment we felt if you had a couple of sun beds that would have made it even nicer. Sarah the owner always answered any queries we had promptly and pleasantly Overall we were extremely happy with our stay at 2 Porters Lodge. Thank you, Pauline & Eric
