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!

Lovely villa highly recommended
We had a wonderful stay in this very well equipped villa. Both owner and manager very helpful. We did not find the hot tub mentioned in the details. The pool is very nice. For anyone self driving turn off highway one into storehouse road then 2nd right into Patanne gardens and drive straight to the very end to Porters court entrance gate

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.

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.

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.

Awesome
Porter's Court is perfect. The ease of booking and dealing with Sarah and Jeanine made our stay fantastic. They both made sure that we had everything we needed to make our holiday perfect. 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.

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.

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.

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

We were delighted to find this quaint haven Barbados villa ..we loved it!
Now we have found Hibivillea 2 Porters Court we can feel happy and relaxed in Barbados more than ever and intend to book again . We loved this property ..the location is superb and cental and a mere few minute's from the beach. Sarah the owner is so knowledgeable of the island having spent so much of her childhood there and a recent marketing and events company also, she owned there , a charming lady. The villa is the only one in the small porters complex with a private back decking, it was a joy to wake up in a morning and open the side door in the bed room straight onto the privacy and warmth of the decking. The villa has new modern uk TV systen, that was nice in the evenings to catch up on programmes or watch a good film after a sun downer. The location of the beach is ideal and we spent some time at the Royal Fairmont beach club who welcome all guests. You don't need a car where the villa is located but Sarah arranged one for part of our stay so we saw the east coast and she told us of some secret hideaways knowing the island so well. Sarah was on hand even when we arrived and we could communicate to her whenever needed. The villas property manager was also excellent and the maid was friendly and can also cook ..so if you fancy some home cooked bajan food she will provide. All beach towels are provided in the villa which we found helpful. The overall complex at porters is quaint and quiet and safe and the pool was warm and clean. Total value for money and we cannot wait to return. Because of the back decking access at the back of the property and the additional doors the wind and air travel right through the property making it cooler and pleasant and rarely need use of air con. .. excellent cannot wait to go again ..
