Great house/home with everything you need
We stayed as two couples and the space and amenities within the house were brilliant. A lovely downstairs area both inside and out where we made lots of use of the enclosed garden and terrace as well as a spacious well equipped kitchen and lounge area. Both bedrooms were large with comfy furnishings and plenty of wardrobe space and good bathrooms. Location wise we loved being close to Folkestone Marine Park and also used the Fairmont on one of our days. Easy walk into Holetown and local bars and restaurants and just a short drive to other places and beaches like Speightstown. Both owner and property manager were great to deal with. Would def recommend to others looking for a great place on the West Coast and close to the beaches.

A beautiful break
Great place to stay within 5-10 minutes of the beach and two good restaurants. Accommodation excellent and the garden was superb with its plunge pool,local flora and fauna which was beautifully lit up in the evening.Beds very comfy. Washer worked well but the dryer was a tad more difficult!Bus stop at the bottom of the road to reach Holetown in about 5 mins for groceries etc

The Gods were looking down on us!!
last minute trip to Barbados, struggling to find places that suited our needs - came across the last nine days that Heather & Mike had & how grateful we were, their wonderful home ticked every one of our boxes. We needed time away for much needed R&R in the sunshine but to be "home from home" - we didn't want to travel around, eat out, do touristy things and our time spent at H & M's was just that - lazy days at home, ventured out the the Fairirmont a couple of times, for lunch& beach time, lunch at the RoundHouse Bethesda & The Caboose Speightown, dinner at SeaShed, RotiDen,The Tides. Numerous visits to Paynes Fish Market, (paradise for we fish lovers) & Massy's for our Waitrose goodies - yes Waitrose-we could hardly believe it - really did make our stay home from home, oh & lets not forget La Baguette for fantastic bread, pastries and cakes. The house is just wonderful, extremely well equipt, spotlessly clean. We mostly spent our time on the terrance, being entertained by the birds during the day and the bats in the evening; towards the end of stay a feral cat family found us, & yes(sorry Heather!) we did share our fish suppers with them! The communal pool was great for our morning before breakfast. Communicate with Heather was so easy,just like talking with a friend, and Marcia the house Manager- well she is just fabulous!! Thanks all, fingers crossed we shall be able to return in Dec. All the best & hope to see you when you come to Mallorca-you have our email! J & E xx

Had a fabulous 2 weeks in this great poroperty. It had lots of space and a beautiful outside seating area which we made great use of with having BBQs most evenings. It was equipped with everything you could ever need for your stay and beautifully furnished throughout. It came with complimentary Fairmont beach club passes which we made full use of. Communication with the owner Heather and Marcia the property manager was excellent and nothing was too much trouble, even down to shopping for us prior to arrival so we had provisions in for our first evening and following morning.

Meets all expectations
We enjoyed everything about the property. It is extremely clean and well appointed. Our property manager reached out to us before our stay and kept us informed of any developments in the area during our two week stay. The beach access to the Fairmont is seamless and convenient for walks or beach drinks/lunch. The pool is very clean and close and we loved that we could go for a quick swim at any time. Our hosts - Heather and Mark - were attentive to our every request. The property is lovingly cared for and they truly care about their guests' comfort and enjoyment. Highly recommend Porters Gate and this property.

Beautiful property with stylish decor and fully equipped with everything to make it home from home. Fantastic outside space with comfortable furniture and plunge pool. Beach passes for sun beds and umbrellas at the Fairmont hotel, a short walk away, were very welcome. Only downside to the property was the building site next door. Noisy during the day, but totally out of the control of the property owners. Would recommend this property on location, communal pool, proximity to beach and bus stops - but check building work is finished before you book! Looking forward to a return visit in the future.

Perfect stay in Barbados
We have recently enjoyed 2 weeks at 4 Porters Gate, which was Fantastic . The Villa was very clean , quiet and well equipped, the garden was beautiful and we instantly felt at home , so much so that I am planning to go back for an extended stay next year . The position is perfect, very close to the beach and supermarket, there are also many bars and restaurants within easy reach . The guide book/file was incredibly informative, with everything you need to know about the Villa as well as recommendations of beaches, restaurants, et cetera. Although this is our fourth visit to Barbados, we were introduced to places that we didn’t know existed, which added to making this holiday the best in Barbados yet. We couldn’t recommend this enough .

Wonderful house!
This is truly a lovely and comfortable property. The access to the Fairmont beach club was a huge plus, we went there every day. The large pool was a great place to relax and float and the little pool in the backyard was fun for a quick dip. Ceiling fans kept the house cool and we were pleasantly surprised by the lack of mosquitoes, which can be ferocious in Barbados. Lots of great restaurants nearby and a terrific kitchen and barbecue if you want to cook at home. Furnishings and bedding were impeccable and comfortable. Truly a lovely home away from home.

Two weeks in Paradise
Heathers villa is exactly as described and more. The house was exceptionally well set up for our family group of four, with separate ensuite bathrooms, comfy beds, lots of closet space, and a lovely balcony for each bedroom. The back patio with plunge pool was even nicer than pictured, and we spent many mornings enjoying breakfast there before heading out for an adventure. We made good use of the electric grill with fresh fish from the local fish market and loved the outdoor dining space. The kitchen had all that we needed and the water dispenser on the fridge a bonus. Great recommendations in the book Heather has prepared for guests. We visited many favourite restaurants from previous visits to Barbados, and enjoyed a number of new ones from the book. Just great to be in close walking distance to Lone Star, Sea Cat and Horny Ram. This trip we rented a soft-top jeep from Stouts, and this made getting around exceptionally easy and fun. A short jaunt to Speightstown or a shorter one to Holetown, and an easy drive to the beautiful north and east shores. The Royal Fairmont beach club passes were well used, just a short walk away to this beautiful beach with sun beds and umbrellas, and a great beachside restaurant with good food and friendly service. Outstanding communication from Heather and Marcia, and super housekeeping from Shan. All around an absolutely fantastic two weeks in paradise and I would highly recommend!

Fantastic
We had a lovely holiday in Barbados and the house was fantastic. Heather’s communication was great before and on arrival, and their house manager was on hand to greet us on arrival. The location was as described and an easy walk to the beach, even with a toddler and an under 1 in a buggy! Access to the Fairmont Beach Club was a real bonus and made accessing and using the beach really easy (beaches are public in Barbados, but they’re not always that accessible / have facilities etc, so if you’re travelling with children or want to avoid any hassle, it’s a real bonus). We dined at a lot of the local restaurants which we could walk to or it’s an easy drive. The house itself was really nice: clean, well equipped and the complex was safe and secure. We wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Fantastic 18 nights in this lovely home
This property lived up to and in many ways exceeded our expectations. In particular we loved the outside living and garden, the huge fan palm being the gardens crowning glory. Splash pool great for a cool down after day out. The interior of this place is clean with tasteful décor and had all we required and more than expected. The pass to Fairmont beach was an added bonus and we used this a lot. Massy Supermarket nearby (approx1 mile) was very useful and stocked everything we needed. We hired a car for part of our holiday, however, the Reggie Buses are so regular and great to use for visiting the West Coast from Bridgetown in the south to Speikestown further in the North. Paulette the housekeeper was great and Heather's friendly yet professional communication A1. We would have no doubt in recommending this property and really hope to visit again.

Wow, Paradise at Porters Gate
We are reluctant to write a good review for this property as it will only encourage others to book this wonderful rental! However, we can only say this was quite the most fabulous place to stay for our holiday of 16 nights on the West Coast in Barbados. The villa was perfectly located, just 10 minutes' walk north of Holetown where we were able to buy all essentials, with plenty of designer shopping and eateries. Speightstown, about 10 minutes north in the car or on the bus, had a more authentic Bajan atmosphere. The villa itself was beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and was so much bigger than it looked in the photos. There were air conditioning units and fans in every room to keep us cool. We found the kitchen was fully equipped with all mod cons plus there was a large fridge/freezer with ice and water on tap! We chose to use the BBQ griddle situated on the patio mostly for cooking fresh fish and spent much of our holiday relaxing in the outdoor space, with its dining table, settees or sunbeds - we didn't eat inside once as the outdoor area was just so tranquil. The plunge pool was just a perfect size - again it was bigger than expected and you could stretch out quite easily so no need to use the communal swimming pool. In addition, there was so much wildlife in the garden to enjoy, tiny lizards, hummingbirds that frequented daily and even a fruit bat flew in one evening! The bedrooms and bathrooms, all were a great size, perfectly decorated and furnished with everything you would need to feel totally at home. We made use of the free beach passes to Royal Fairmont Hotel and Heron Bay beach was also just another short walk away perfect places to watch the sunsets. We hired a car so we could visit all the provinces, visiting lots of sights. We kayaked from Speightstown up the North West Cost and snorkelled with the turtles in Carlisle Bay, south of the Island - both brilliant excursions. No need to hire a car though as the yellow buses that whizz around the island are plentiful and just $3 BDollars. Eating out on the West Coast was expensive but, travel further afield, north or to the South or East Coast the prices are more reasonable. The hosts, Heather and Mark, were brilliant for communicating details to us and making recommendations. They also left us a bottle of fizz with a welcome card on our arrival which was lovely. Wonderful villa, wonderful hosts, wonderful location. We will return!

Just perfect!
Four of us were to spend 12 nights at 4 Porters Gate, a surprise birthday present for my husband, David. This was to be our second visit to the island. We had very much enjoyed our first but this time wanted accommodation with plenty of covered, outside space and a property located away from the main road, the H1, that runs along the west coast. 4PG offered both and plenty more besides..... and it did not disappoint! We booked at the beginning of 2018. From booking, to arriving and during our stay, communication between Heather, the owner, and my sister-in-law was excellent. Taxi transfer from the airport was arranged by Heather. Ryan our driver collected us, with a much appreciated supermarket stop enroute to the house. Paulette warmly welcomed us to 4PG and showed us around. Everything was perfect. It is a beautiful house, stylishly furnished with a relaxed vibe and very well equipped. Porters Gate itself is a very well tended gated community, which became apparent during our stay - thank you all who worked tirelessly to keep it so. We had two changes of bed linen and towels and a general spruce up during our stay, thank you to Paulette and Kimberley. Well, we simply had the best time! We hired a car through Stoutes, as recommended by Heather, great service. We travelled all over the island. Special mention to Catch 22, Sunset Point, St Lucy, just lovely - and yes, David, we did see a whale! Lone Star, lunch and dinner, delicious, sundowners on the veranda a must. The frequented Fairmont Beach Club, a bonus. Sunloungers, umbrellas and lots of pina coladas (virgin, of course!). You can hire water sports equipment here. Take out a hobie with instructor Keilu, one cool dude, recommended. And lastly to the house, it gave everything we could have wanted and more. Eating outside in the evening, relaxing in shady areas during the day, cooling down in the plunge pool at any time. Comfortable, cool bedrooms. Would we visit again? A resounding yes from us all. In fact plans are already afoot for a a return visit but I’m not going to tell you when just in case you are tempted to book the dates for yourself! Lorna & David and Jennie & Vernon

Fabulous villa - well located for beach
We absolutely loved our stay at this villa. Everything from its location, the layout and the decor was fabulous and it was so clean and well equipped. Heather was so helpful on the run up to our visit; thinking of everything from airport pick ups, the first grocery shop, tips on medical facilities in Holetown to mention a few! I would definietely recommend this villa for anyone planning a trip to the Gold coast. The beach club was a brilliant thing to have included so we could access the sunbeds in a nearby beach, and there were a number of quality restaurants and bars within a short walk (Lone Star, Ju Jus and Seacat to mention a few). Then a walk into the heart of Holetown was only 20mins where the bars and shops and restaurants are plentiful! Overall we had such a great trip and our Cool Runnings catamaran lunch cruise was so much fun and a drive up to Animal Flower cave was another highlight. Thanks again to Heather and the team for a superb service from beginning to end!!

Fantastic, As Always!
This will be our 3rd time staying at this wonderful home in Barbados. We just love it there. The comfort, the convenience, and of course the familiarity with the home and the area. This time Heather has kindly given guests access to the Fairmont Beach Club. Just a short 6-7 min walk from the house, you can go and relax on the beach and enjoy the amenities. We did this most days as well as go diving, rent a Hobie Wave and go sailing, go on the most awesome catamaran trip and in general have a wonderful time. Cant wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Heather

Host profile image
We have owned our home for 12 years now and love it more each time we visit. We fell in love with the Caribbean after being married in Antigua, then visiting Barbados with our two baby sons, some 30 plus years ago.
As a family we absolutely love and embrace all that Barbados has to offer and decided to make it our home. We love having the opportunity to host guests in our home and to hear about the new adventures and discoveries, upon their return. To read our visitors book is the first thing we do as soon as we arrive!

Why they chose this property

We are ideally located in the centre of the West Coast, just a leisurely 6 minute stroll from our complimentary Beach Club at the 5* Fairmont Royal Pavillion Hotel and a relaxing 15 minute stroll into Holetown, which offers some of the best restaurants, bars and shopping in Barbados. The new Limegrove Lifestyle centre is brimming with style and charm, with designer stores, restaurants, beauty salons, bars and coffee shops.
Holetown also has a large supermarket, banks and a 24 hour Medical Centre.
Our home boasts the perfect location within the development of Porters Gate, being a large corner plot, offering a private secluded garden, with secure convenient access via a garden gate to the pathway to the local beach and Holetown. This small private secluded development of 28 houses, has a communal pool and tennis court. We have fully redecorated and refurnished to offer a cool stylish contemporary interior and outdoor space with a Bajan twist!
Our large covered terrace is the perfect place to relax and chill after a hard day at the beach or sightseeing. Fully air-conditioned interior and fully equipped home, 4 Porters Gate offers a 'home away from home' in Barbados

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with our home immediately we saw it, as it has everything we could wish for. We are in the perfect location on the West Coast, just 6 minutes from the beautiful Heron Bay and The Fairmont Beach Club and just a 15 minute stroll to Holetown and equally a 15 minute stroll to the North, to our favourite restaurant Lonestar, (pictured in profile photo)!

We can reach the beautiful rugged East Coast within 30 minutes by car, Crane Beach, one of the Top Ten Beaches in the world, the same distance and the South Coast just 25 minutes.
From landing at Grantley Adams airport to arriving at our home at Porters Gate, is approximately 40 minutes, just in time for a delicious sundowner in one of the many beautiful beach bars on the West Coast.
Our home has the perfect living design, cool, light, airy and open plan, offering a cool contemporary feel with a Bajan twist. Our beautiful covered terrace is the perfect place to chill at the end of a hard day on the beach or sightseeing the beautiful island.
