We had an amazing experience staying at Jo’s place. This house really has everything that you need and is very clean, organized and way bigger than the pictures show! The location is perfect, you are only a 5 minute walk to the beach, we had many beautiful sunset and sunrise walks. You are also only a 15 minute walk into Holetown which has everything you need from shops, cafes, clothes, bars. Lonestar is a 10 minute walk north and has beautiful sunsets too. Throughout our stay Jo and Michaela (house manager) were extremely responsive and available. We also had a cleaner, Paulina who did a wonderful job every week. The community at porters gate has lots of amenities too including a tennis court, swimming pool, clubhouse and small gym. We cannot thank Jo enough for hosting us, we’ve completely fallen in love with the beautiful island of Barbados!

Great accommodation in a tranquil and safe gated community with a shared pool, tennis court and peaceful garden. We spent every evening sitting on the deck until bedtime enjoying listening to the tropical sounds of the night and didn’t turn the television on once, so relaxing so refreshing. There is no air conditioning in the living area but by leaving the back and front doors open there was always a lovely breeze going through the house and onto the deck. There is air conditioning in the bedrooms but we only used it for a few minutes before bedtime. The best beaches in Barbados are a 10 minute walk away and a French bakery even closer. Out side the bakery a lovely lady sells vegetables and eggs from a van on Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays. There is no need to have a car as the bus stop is a couple of minutes away and the buses are frequent and cheap. I would advise not getting on a bus unless there is a seat as their driving can be quite erratic, better to wait a few minutes for the next bus. Massy supermarket is in Holetown which is a few minutes on the bus or a lovely half hour stroll along the beach with lots of eating , banking and shopping options. You can walk from the house to several restaurants, Juju’s for drinks at sunset and casual dining on the beach, Top Deck for middle of the road dining and the more expensive Lone Star restaurant. We enjoyed eating at Zaccios and Tides in Holetown but our favourite restaurant was La Cabane on Batts Rock beach South of Fitts Village where they serve food prepared with care and passion served in casual surroundings under the trees overlooking the sea. Make sure you book as it’s popular. We had a great holiday and would recommend staying here, Joanne kept us well informed both before and during our stay.

We stayed in this beautiful town house during February 2019 and can’t recommend it highly enough. Beautifully clean and well maintained. As a family of 5 we always struggle to find accommodation roomy enough for us all to be comfortable. I have 3 strapping boys aged 16, 14 and 12 and it was a delight to find a property that gave us all ample space. The welcome pack was really comprehensive with lots of suggestions on places to visit and insider tips. Downstairs is a fabulous open plan area, the kitchen is well equipped with all the appliances and utensils you would have at home. The ice making fridge freezer kept all our drinks lovely and cool and having a dishwasher for all the cleaning up was a bonus. There is also a washing machine if you want to freshen anything up whilst you are there. There is an indoor dining table for 6 as well as a lovely outdoor 6 seater dining table on the garden patio. There is a comfy sofa and chair set around the tv area and my husband and boys were delighted with the array of sports and movie channels available on the television. There is full wifi throughout the property – a must for any teenager!! The garden is delightful and a little sun trap and I loved the little reading corner, I was lucky to be visited by some green monkeys early one morning. There is also a downstairs toilet which is really convenient. Upstairs there are 3 really good sized bedrooms, all ensuite and all with balconies and air conditioning. The beds are really comfortable, there is ample wardrobe space in all the rooms. The air conditioning is really effective and it only needed to be switched on for a few minutes before the rooms cooled down. The bedrooms also have ceiling fans and most evenings these were sufficient to keep the room at a cool temperature without having the air conditioning on due to the wonderfully high vaulted ceilings in all the bedrooms. Outside the property is a tennis court (there are rackets and balls available in the property) and a lovely communal pool which was pretty quiet for the whole of our stay. Bus stop and nearest beach a few minutes walk away. We ate in a few evenings, there is a fabulous supermarket in Holetown (less than a mile away).(As well as an array of lovely restaurants). At the owners suggestion we visited The Boatyard in Bridgetown – that was a fantastic day out that my boys thoroughly enjoyed. All in all, a great value holiday let that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone!
