This was our first trip to Barbados and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay. The house is very well appointed with everything you could possibly require. During our stay the house was cleaned and linen changed twice. The house is also very well located.

Perfect villa
No 1 Porters Court was just perfect for us. It was absolutely immaculate, so spacious and airy and very well appointed. The gardens were beautiful and it was wonderful to have the pool. Caroline and Ian could not have been more helpful prior to our arrival and Jeanine was always on hand whilst we were there. Thank you so much for making our first visit to Barbados so special…and we can’t wait to return.

An excellent villa, superbly located with helpful hosts
The villa is spacious, well maintained and fully fitted out with everything we needed. It is also very accessible for people with limited mobility. Our contact with the owners was always helpful. The villa is kept spotlessly clean by Karen twice per week and Jeanine was also very helpful.

Perfect property in Porters
Just had six wonderful days at Caroline and Ians beautiful villa. It had everything we needed and more. I visit the island a lot and wanted to ensure the friends who came with me, who hadn’t been before, felt at home and relaxed and the villa did all of that. It is spacious, spotlessly clean and I think has the best spot on the little complex - tucked in the corner so very private. Jeanine the property manager was also great when we needed her. We all loved our stay there and, at the risk of stabbing myself in the foot with regard to future availability, I would happily recommend to others as a place to stay!

Lovely villa 7 minutes walk to beach
I had a lovely stay, the villa is a real home from home with all amenities. Very good WiFi. Very private with nice shaded veranda. Small back yard grassed area which we didn’t use. The communal pool is very small so not for swimming more a quick dip. Short walk to beach - this beach is quite narrow and has hotels all the way along handy if you want to rent a lounger but not a quiet beach. 2 very nice restaurants, Lonestar very nice. Jonas good too. Ju bar great for a rum. Supermarket 10 minute drive so a car is recommended during COVID times. Would def recommend villa. Owners super helpful. Housekeeper superb.

Beautiful and relaxing!
Loved the villa! It was very comfortable with all the amenities and lots of little extras (beach towels, games, hammock...). The location was great: in a quiet neighborhood and close to a beautiful beach. Jeanine, the on-site manager, was very helpful and responsive.

The property was clean and spacious and had everything we needed for our family holiday.
The bedrooms were really comfortable and plenty of storage and a great dressing area with large mirrors. The kitchen was well equipped and handy to have cool boxes for the beach. We really enjoyed sitting on the terrace and the girls loved chilling in the hammock. The lounge area was really comfortable too and nicely layed out. Porters Court is a lovely well kept small Development, our family really enjoyed the villa and the shared pool. We loved our time in Barbados and will definitely look to come again in the future. All the information given from Caroline before we travelled was really useful and we were well looked after by Jeanine who organised our transfers and did a food shop before we arrived. Also Karen who came in to clean the property during our stay was delightful. For us it was so much better than staying in a hotel, we would be very happy to stay again at Number 1 Porters Court.

Beautiful villa in a wonderful country!
We loved our stay at Number 1 Porters Court. We stayed for 12 days over May half term. We found the villa spacious and well equipped, perfect for a family of 4. Most mornings started with a swim in the communal pool, with the surrounding gardens a haven for hummingbirds, one morning I counted 5!! The location of the villa was perfect, 5 mins walk to Alleynes beach which in my opinion is the best on the west coast. We used the local buses a lot so didn't feel the need to hire a car. We ate out at Lone Star and Santi which were both within walking distance from the villa, on other occasions we jumped on a bus to Holetown. We also ate in a few evenings as the kitchen was so well equipped. Every possible utensil was provided. Jeanine was very helpful and helped with transfers to and from the airport. Karen the housekeeper visited twice a week and was very friendly and efficient. All in all a fabulous holiday in Barbados, this was our third visit to this wonderful country and will be back again next year. We'd definitely love to stay at Number 1 Porters Court again!!

A little piece of paradise on earth
We cannot praise 1, Porters Court highly enough. From the moment we arrived we were impressed with the beautiful, tranquil location and the light, airy and spacious villa. The decor was very restful with tasteful, high quality furnishings and was a real home from home. The villa was very clean, no doubt thanks to Karen the lovely housekeeper who visited twice a week. Every little thing had been catered for including the provision of toilet roll and beach towels and it was great to have a welcome pack of groceries on our arrival. Air conditioning and fans ensured the interior of the villa remained lovely and cool even when it was very hot and humid outside so sleeping was never a problem and the beds were extremely comfortable. The veranda was a favourite place to sit to have our breakfast and pre- dinner drinks in the evenings. Surrounded by beautiful, tropical gardens and lots of wildlife including lizards and humming birds there was always something interesting to watch. We even saw a family of monkeys one day feeding under the trees! The communal pool is beautifully kept with sun beds and umbrellas and surrounded by lovely gardens. Although the property is next to a busy road we didn't notice any traffic noise and the beautiful beach is 5 minutes walk away. There are a number of good restaurants and rum shacks nearby and Holetown is a 20 minute walk if you need a supermarket, ATM or bigger choice of restaurants. If it's too hot to walk the local buses run straight past Porters Court. We would definitely recommend this property to others and would love to stay there again if we return to Barbados in the future.
