This was our second stay in Porters Court but the first time in this house. We have had an absolutely wonderful time. Everything in the house is perfect and we have been so well looked after by the house keeper and manager. We can’t wait to visit again. Thank you

An outstanding property! I stayed along with my adult daughter and her friend. Holetown is a wonderful location and the villa is beautifully appointed, with all of the amenities that one needs, including a full kitchen, laundry, etc. We very much appreciated Tracy‘s quick responses to our questions and also the friendly and warm support from Veronica! We definitely hope to return, soon!

Tracy was amazing, so helpful with restaurants and excursions, even down to the taxi driver. The villa is beautiful, reality is even better than the photos. Membership to the Fairmont is a huge bonus. Location is great, handy for Holetown and with the buses being so accessible, it’s very easy to travel up and down the coast. All round an amazing place to stay.

This property is a 10 out of 10 without a doubt!From the minute you arrive, the property is so inviting, well taken care of and immediately feels like a home away from home.The host has thought of everything from complementary groceries, a welcoming rum punch, access to the beach club across the street, an excellent guest book filled with all the details of the home and surrounding area, and all the necessities of living so you don’t have to worry about a thing.It was close to everything you need the beach, town, buses, and great restaurants.Our stay at the house truly made our trip amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfortable luxury in Barbados!

Hi Bev, thanks for your lovely review! We work hard to ensure our guests have a great stay. The best compliment is when guests say they would like to return so thank you! Best wishes, Tracy
From making our first enquiry to today as we leave, everything has been amazing.Tracy has been a brilliant host and the accommodation was just perfect with every amenity you could wish for. It was spotlessly clean, thanks to the lovely Veronica, and a beautiful oasis of peace and tranquility with easy access to the stunning beach at the Royal Fairmont and a little further to all the facilities and restaurants at Holetown.I would recommend a car if you want to go further afield. Everything about our holiday was wonderful and made even more special by No5 Porters Court.Already planning our return trip

First time to the island and the owner and property manager made us feel entirely at home! From the welcome goodies (so appreciated after a long day of travel), to Veronica (such a sweet heart!), to the periodic check-ins and suggestions.... our stay was fantastic! Great location, privacy and access to restaurants and beaches. You cannot go wrong! We will definitely be back. Thank you for opening up your home to us!

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!

My friends and I have been coming to Barbados for many years and have spent each of our holidays in a self catering villa. 5 Porters Court is right up there as one of the best places we have stayed. The location is perfect, very close to the beach and some lovely bars/restaurants. It is also very convenient for transport to both Holetown and Speightstown.The villa itself is very tastefully presented and extremely comfortable and welcoming. We don't always like to go out in the evening and love to cook so it was a delight to find the kitchen so well equipped. The villa was also spotlessly clean. We will definitely be returning.Kate Rossiter

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.

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.

Thanks Melanie. Glad you had another great stay. Looking forward to welcoming you back next year.
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!

The experience was first rate from start to finish! The host was highly attentive to our needs, the villa including the surrounding property was charming and very well appointed with everything you’d need, housekeeping (Veronica) was meticulous (and friendly) and the location was a very short walk away from the beach where access is allowed to the Fairmont Royal Pavilion beach club. Access to shopping/groceries is 5 minute taxi ride away and a handful of restaurants are within walking distance. All in all, we highly recommend 5 Porters Court as a base where you can simply relax or explore all that Barbados has to offer. Highly recommended!
We have had a fabulous holiday in Barbados as usual , made all the better for staying in this beautiful villa ... it is exactly as described , exceptionally clean ,and very homely .. Tracy the owner and her house manager / cleaner in Barbados can’t do enough for you ...
This is the second time I have stayed in this small gated community the location is perfect . I will be definitely holiday again in Tracy’s lovely villa ...

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

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.

About the host
Hosted by Mrs Tracy Palmer
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.
