About this property

5 Porters Court, Luxury West Coast villa, 5 mins walk to beach with Beach Club

Located one mile north of Holetown, opposite the Royal Pavilion Hotel, on the popular West Coast and close to glorious beaches (200m) and within easy reach of a wide selection of shops, bars and fine restaurants. 5 Porters Court is a luxury 2 bedroom with en-suite bathroom villa with wrap around veranda, spacious open plan living area, well equipped fitted kitchen and private car parking adjacent to the villa. The charming villa is built in traditional chattel house design with high pickled pine ceilings. The living area has two sets of French doors opening onto a wrap around veranda (with gas BBQ) for outside dining and relaxing. The villa is air conditioned throughout.

Porters Court is an exclusive gated development of 8 luxury villas with a communal swimming pool and patio area with sun loungers and umbrellas. The villas are set within beautiful well-maintained tropical gardens. No. 5 has a great location right by the pool.

The villa comes with membership of the exclusive Fairmont Royal Pavilion Beach Club, a five minute walk from the property. This gives guests free access to sun beds and umbrellas and use of the beach bar and water sports facilities at your own expense. The famous Lonestar restaurant is also about a 5 minute walk as are two great beach bars.

Our housekeeper will visit three days per week. We provide all guests with a complimentary welcome grocery pack of tea, coffee, orange juice, milk, eggs, bread, butter, fruit, local beers and rum punch so you can relax immediately and enjoy your holiday. Our on-island property manager is always available to help. We can also arrange airport transfers and recommend car hire.

A dream villa.

Villa Number 5 at Porters Court was the most perfect little villa one could possibly wish for.Immaculately clean and beautifully furnished.On arrival we were welcomed with a wonderful array of food and drinks to help us through our initial two days. Our housekeeper was the kindest, warmest and most helpful and fun lady and we always looked forward to seeing her 3 times a week. Our host kept in touch with us to make sure we had everything we needed. I could go on and on but suffice to say we had the most wonderful time staying at #5 and would recommend this villa to anyone who is looking for a first class holiday home.Aileen and David Weston.

Perfect Palm Cottage

We feel most fortunate to have been able to spend a week in peaceful surroundings and superb accommodation in number 5 Porters Court. Such a perfectly equipped property, everything so cleverly thought of. Newly modernised showers, the most comfortable bedding and spotlessly clean. Access to Fairmont Beach Club a bonus, a great location, what more could you wish for!

Exceptional property

Our family of three stayed in 5, Porters Court and had a wonderful stay. The accommodation is outstanding with a peaceful immaculate pool area to relax in and cool off. Porters Court is in a great location with easy access to the beach within 2 mins with the added bonus of beach passes allowing use of the bar and sun lounges. A short walk down the beach is the Lone Star, Jumas and Ju Ju’s. Veronica the housekeeper visits 3 times a week leaving the villa beautifully clean. After a long flight the welcome pack is a nice touch. It is easy to communicate with Tracy the owner and Kerry the manager we would not hesitate to use this villa again in the future.

A great stay at Porters Court.

We just loved our stay at Porters Court. Tracy gave us lots of helpful information before we arrived and everything we could possibly need was there - beautifully cool and comfortable patio, very short walk to the beach, easy access to local buses (great fun), a pool and, as an extra bonus, lovely Veronica who came three times a week to clean, change the towels and generally look after everything.

Beautiful Property

Luckily for us we found this property online. The excellent reviews could not be ignored and, as we knew the area, we decided to book, we had only ever stayed in hotels previously. We were so glad we did and can’t honestly ever see us booking anywhere else when we return. The villa is spotlessly clean and maintained to the highest standards, the quality of the furnishings are excellent. A substantial welcome pack is provided on arrival which is lovely and means you don’t have to immediately rush out to purchase anything. Veronica , the housekeeper, is a little gem, A couple of very minor issues were ironed out immediately by the management company. The property is ideally placed for the bus stop so you can easily get into Holetown and beyond. Don’t have any hesitation in booking this property, it really is as good as it looks, we will be back as soon as we can.

Lovely Villa

The villa is exactly as described - in very good condition with tasteful and comfortable furnishings. The membership of the beach club is great and we used it most days as the pool is a little small and sometimes busy with the guests from other villas. We would certainly visit again.

Palm Cottage 5 at Porters Court is perfectly located for access to the beach, shopping and dinning.

Porters Court is a well maintained block of cottages directly across from the beach. Palm Cottage 5 provides access to the Fairmont’s Beach Club for your beach chairs, food and drink. You don’t need to go anywhere but it is also in a perfect starting point to explore Barbados. A perfect experience!

Superb house, loved everything

We researched a holiday home in Barbados and chose this and have no regrets, it was superb. Much bigger on the inside than we expected. Beautifully clean, tastefully furnished and fantastic location. Tracy, the host, was incredibly helpful and answered any queries immediately. Veronica the house keeper takes great pride in her work and it was a treat to come back to find the house so beautifully clean and tidy. Kerry, the property manager was also on standby and helpful The house has everything you need and was well stocked with kitchen utensils, tea and coffee, a welcome pack in the fridge, beach towels, books, games, amazon fire stick on the TV.... The pool was lovely, clean and quiet and we took advantage of the passes for the beach club at the Royal Fairmont, which was a fantastic beach club. Overall an amazing holiday and we'd love to come back in the future.

Lovely Villa 5 mins to beach

Lovely quiet two bedroom villa in Porters being only a 5 min walk to the fabulous beach, bars and the famous Lone Star restaurant. The villa was spacious and cleaned to perfection 3 times a week by the lovely Veronica and the villa also had its own private parking space which was great as we had hired a car. The kitchen was very well equipped and made for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The communal pool and loungers were a nice touch however we enjoyed the beach club so much we didn’t really use the pool during our stay! The only slight detraction for us was the close proximity to our neighbours verandah however this wouldn’t put us off returning in the future.

PERFECT STAY

The photos don`t do the property justice. We had a lovely relaxing stay in a great cottage style property. The pool was right outside the patio area and Tracey provided everything that was needed during our hols, from beach towels to the lovely Veronica who kept the place in tip top condition. There was only two of us but the cottage would comfortably accommodate four. Thanks Tracey, will be back

I booked the property after looking extensively online at a lot of other similar properties. It surpassed my every expectation and more. I had 10 lovely nights here and it was comfortable, well located and nothing was of any fuss from the property management and owner; amazing service all round and I would recommend this as a perfect and peaceful setting for anyone looking for a comfortable and easy villa on the West Coast.

Beautiful villa in a fabulous location.

5 Porters Court was perfect in every way. It is set in a small development with 7 other villas. No 5 has direct access to the pool. The pool was always very quiet. The villa, gardens and pool were immaculate. The welcome pack had everything you could possibly need on day 1, including a large bottle of rum punch! Kerry the property manager was lovely as was Veronica the housekeeper. Tracy, the owner was very responsive to my emails. I would absolutely HIGHLY recommend Tracy’s villa to anyone looking for a fabulous 2 bedroom villa on the West Coast of Barbados.

Fabulous Holiday.

We just got back from a fabulous stay at Palm Cottage, Porters Court. The cottage has brilliant facilities, Ensuite Shower Rooms, Washing Machine & Dishwasher, A/C in each room and Wifi. The swimming pool was delightful but the highlight was the location. Right opposite The Royal Pavilion and Glitter Bay with some of the best beaches on the island, where we had exclusive access with the daily passes that come with the cottage. Holetown is only 5 mins by car and some of the best restaurants too. Overall it was fantastic, Thank you Tracy !

Exceptional experience! Owner was attentive throughout. Welcomed us prior to arrival, checked on us during and followed up after trip. Her personal touch and attention were greatly appreciated. Arrived to a fridge stocked with eggs, wine, beer and other essentials. Housekeeper was very welcoming and helpful. The house was impecable!

Stunning, homely house in amazing location

This is the best house I have stayed in on Barbados in many visits over the years! It's location is perfect for the beach, buses, Holetown and Speightstown. It is beautifully decorated throughout with everything you could ever need to live there, let alone a holiday! Veronica and Kerry were also incredibly welcoming, helpful and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always available if we needed them. I will definitely be returning here, if I can get in. It is very popular, so book early! Doh, I shouldn't have said that, but you will NOT be disappointed. A truly magical home from home. Thank you Tracy for your contact and allowing us to visit.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Tracy Palmer

Host profile image
In May 2017 we realised our dream of owning our own property in Barbados. Since then we have spent time making it a comfortable home from home in paradise. We live in the UK and aim to spend as much time as we can in our second home. We hope to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Porters Court because of the charm of the villa which is built in the traditional chattel house style with wooden floors and high pickled wood ceilings. We also enjoy being very close to the Lonestar restaurant and JuJu's beach bar, two of our favourite places for sunset drinks on the beach!

What makes this property unique

The location is perfect and just across the road from the Fairmont Royal Pavilion where we enjoy the beach club. It is very easy to get around as the bus stops are just outside the gate and
BD$ 3.50 will take you anywhere on the island.
