Free WIFI and a telephone with free local calls. There are both air con and ceiling fans in all rooms. Two sets of French doors lead onto the veranda, creating a lovely breeze throughout the villa.

Sandy Lodge has a covered veranda that wraps around two sides of the villa, facing the pool and garden area.  This is comfortably furnished with a ceiling fan, dining table and chairs – perfect for al fresco meals, drinks on the terrace, reading, playing games and entertaining.  A Weber gas BBQ and all the necessary BBQ equipment is provided.
 
The pool terrace, which is 5 steps away and set in a tropical garden, is comfortably furnished with sun loungers and umbrellas.  The pool is shared with 7 other villas in Porters Court.
The villa is family friendly.  You can watch your children play in the pool from the verandah. The beach, 4 minutes stroll away down a private path is sandy, safe and clean. 
 
Porters Court, accessed via a security gate, is in a peaceful and tranquil setting, yet right in the heart of the west coast of Barbados.  A fabulous safe, sandy beach, one of the best on the island, restaurants and bars are all a 4 minute stroll away (door to beach).  The fabulous and famous Lone Star is a 5 minute walk away and they serve cocktails, breakfast, lunch and dinner.  JuJus and Santi, both beach bars, serve lunches, early suppers and sundowners and both are 5 minute walk away.  Porters Court is opposite the Royal Fairmount Hotel – with its good restaurant and bar – again perfect for sundowners.  
 
Holetown has a large, newly refurbished supermarket (selling some Waitrose items), an excellent local butcher, fruit and veg stalls, restaurants, bars, beach cinema and shopping – from international designer shops to shops selling local handicrafts and clothing. A 25 min walk or 5 min drive / bus journey away.  
 
Speightstown to the north is about 10 minute drive/bus journey away and has a more traditional feel with a range of shops, bars, restaurants and of course – a beach.  
 
The Sandy Lane golf course is about 4 miles away and other local courses include Westmoreland and Apes Hill. 
 
There is no need to hire a car because you can catch the local bus from a bus stop on the main road 2 minutes walk away (via private path) from Porters Court.  Buses are frequent during the day and early evening and run from Speightstown in the north to Bridgetown and beyond in the south.  Local buses are great fun and cheap ($2 Bbd for any distance) and will take you to most places on the island.  If you decide to hire a car, the villa has its own free parking space, right outside the front door.  A car can be delivered to the villa or be collected from the airport.  
 
A team of people work hard to keep Sandy Lodge looking lovely and to welcome you to your holiday home.  We can arrange to get shopping before your arrival . Our housekeeper will make sure that the villa is clean and well equipped during your stay. We provide cleaning and fresh linen and towels before your stay and weekly during visits of 10 days or longer.  If you require more frequent cleaning this too can be arranged for you, at a small extra cost.  
 
We sincerely hope that you will enjoy all that this lovely part of the world has to offer.

Excellent


After staying at this villa in 2016, we re-booked for Nov 2017. This tastefully furnished property makes self-catering easy as it is immaculate and very well appointed. We had a fantastic time and are looking to return in 2018.

Fabulous villa in a great location


4 Porters court is a fabulous villa in a gated community centred around a lovely pool, yet still only a few minutes from a fantastic beach. Villa was beautifully maintained with every mod con you could want for your stay and only steps from the pool are. Only a 20 minute walk to the centre of Hometown with shops, restaurants etc of if you are feeling adventurous, at the end of the path flag down a reggae bus for a quick and often lively trip to Hometown, Speightstown, Bridgetown etc. It was our first trip to Barbados and loved the island, the villa and the local life and will be returning to visit all 3 again in the future.

Perfect rental villa in perfect Barbados location


My two teenagers and I stayed at Porters Court for Easter week and our holiday was great from beginning to end. Nicola, the owner, is super responsive and helpful before and during and after the stay. The property manager, Jeanine, is a dream come true -- she helped pre-arrange all sorts of things including grocery delivery before we arrived (order the banana bread -- her mother home-bakes it and it is delicious!), transport to and from the airport, a rental car to be delivered to and picked up from the villa, and a snorkeling cruise on our last day. She offered great suggestions on restaurants, shopping, things to do, local culture, the villa, beaches, places to go and things to see, etc. The villa itself is fresh and perfectly appointed - everything felt new and clean and thoughtfully provided. No need to bring bedding or towels -- hi quality bedding and bath towels and a good supply of lovely beach towels are there (and with the washer and dryer in the laundry room we could wash and dry laundry and beach towels as needed thru the week). The housekeeper cleaned only once during the week for us as much of the week was Easter holidays, but she was efficient and pleasant and did a good job. The grounds are private, secure, quiet, and beautiful. The pool, shared by only 7 other similar villas, is literally steps from the porch of Sandy Lodge and while the pool area is plenty big for sharing with other residents (some of whom were owners and some were renters like us), we hardly ever saw others wanting to use it at the same time that we did. A secure, gated and lit path leads from the pool to the road-crossing that leads to beautiful Alleynes Beach -- a 5 minute walk to the water at the most! Alleynes Beach is the perfect combination of beautiful, natural Caribbean beach and a bit of development so that there are watersport and lounger rentals available, and good food and drink (ranging from reasonable to WOW in price) right there on the beach. Porters Court is perfectly located -- you can walk to various bars and restaurants in minutes and Holetown, Speightstown and other destinations are a only a quick and easy drive away. We had a lovely, easy, fun and relaxing holiday and would not hesitate to recommend this villa to others!
