'Palm View', West Coast 3 bd/3.5br villa with Private Pool *QUARANTINE APPROVED*

Located in the lovely Parish of St James, on the famous platinum West Coast of Barbados. The development known as 'Porters Gate' is a private, tranquil gated community (electronic security gates) and consists of 28 townhouses, set in spacious surroundings adorned with local shrubs, colourful planting and swaying palm trees . There is a sociable shared swimming pool, tennis-court & club-house. Nestled in a quiet area around a 6-8 minute walk from the nearest beach & only 2 minutes walk to Highway 1 for buses to Holetown (1 mile) where you will find many shops / supermarkets / banks & restaurants.

'Palm View' is now on the Government's approved list for Quarantine Properties which means that you should you need to quarantine you can go direct to our house from the airport and quarantine in spacious surroundings and with a private pool. No need for expensive hotels - there is a CCTV monitoring fee for the duration of your quarantine of $50 usd per 24hr period or part thereof payable locally to our Property Manager. More details upon booking.

Our house, 'Palm View' is a beautifully presented modern 3-bed/3.5 bath townhouse built around 2005. The house has been tastefully furnished with locally produced furniture and comprises in brief: 3 en-suite bedrooms all with private balconies, downstairs w/c, open plan kitchen, living & dining room and rear covered terrace/dining area & garden beyond. Free (private) Wifi throughout the house for keeping in touch whilst in paradise!

Our lovely modern kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need for a self catering holiday including; kettle, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, smoothie maker, oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine, large fridge freezer with ice maker and plentiful plates, dishes and glasses for a pre-dinner rum punch! Beautiful granite worktops are throughout and form a fabulous breakfast bar for informal eating. Through to the dining area there is a ceiling fan to keep you cool in the evenings with a dining table & chairs for 6 people..

From here you can open the french doors which lead out onto the large covered terrace where you can enjoy al fresco dining, BBQ fish from the local fish market or why not get comfy in 'kindle corner' a perfect spot for curling up with your kindle & a cold Banks beer whilst listening to the birds, watching the green monkeys or spotting the beautiful hummingbirds and fire flies which visit our lovely garden daily. New for November 2021 is our very own small but perfectly formed private pool!

Back into the living area, there is a sofa and 2 chairs for sitting back, relaxing and catching up on the news from home! This area also benefits from a ceiling fan. We have a brilliant TV system with all UK/US/Canadian/Sport channels as well as a great selection of movies to watch.

And finally for your convenience, there is a downstairs powder room & an under stairs cupboard housing iron / ironing board and other useful items.

As you ascend the wooden staircase you will look up to see a wonderful vaulted ceiling - one of my favourite aspects of this house! There are 3 bedrooms; bedroom 1 at the top of the stairs has 2 single beds (can be pushed together if needed) fitted wardrobes with full length hanging & plentiful shelving. The en-suite shower room has a very large walk in shower, w/c & vanity unit. There are french doors which open onto a private balcony overlooking the tennis court & swimming pool beyond, with a lovely little view inland too! There is air conditioning & a ceiling fan for your comfort.

Bedroom 2 at the rear of the property also has twin beds and fully fitted wardrobes and shelving for 2 & a lovely en-suite with an impressive vaulted ceiling! The balcony from this room overlooks the rear garden & trees beyond. This bedroom also benefits from air conditioning & a ceiling fan.

The master bedroom is a great size and has a (UK) king size bed (or a US queen size) and again ample wardrobe space for 2 with full height hanging & lots of shelving. With another wonderful vaulted ceiling this is my favourite room... the en-suite is huge and has a twin vanity unit and an extra large walk in shower enclosure & w/c. The master bedroom has air conditioning & a ceiling fan and the balcony overlooks the rear garden & trees beyond.

We also have a large electronic safe should you wish to store your valuables during your holiday.

Wonderful place
We had an amazing time in Barbados. Everything was great from arrival, enjoying our stay, to departure. Communication with Joanne (owner) and Marcia (property manager) was excellent. The unit was clean and well equipped, it had everything we needed. Our kids loved the plunge pool. It was just a short walk to the beach. Sitting on the terrace with a cup of coffee in the morning, watching the green monkeys and the humming birds was a treat. Highly recommend this property, would definitely stay again! Thanks!!!

Fabulous !!!!!
The villa was super - the description was just as it says on the tin !! It felt like home from home - there was absolutely everything you could need in the villa. We sat for hours in the mornings & evenings watching all the birds in the trees behind the property, humming birds, tiny little yellow/black birds & even 4 parrots. The fireflies in the evening were magical, it was like watching a disney film. The complex is quiet, private and immaculately maintained. Joanne, the owner & Marcia the property manager are both very friendly & helpful and answered any queries straight away. There are some great bars/restaurants within a 20 minute walk and we had a car for the duration of our stay as there are soooooo many fantastic places to visit around the island - WE LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!

Go! Go! Go!
The property is EXACTLY as shown, and better. Joanne is amazing and is always on the end of a phone if needed as is Marcia, the property manager. Everything worked and was clean. Very safe and in a gated community. Brand new pool that was lovely to jump in at the end of a hot day out. 5 min walk to the beach. Al fresco dining outside and lovely through breeze from the front of the property. All I can say is GO!!! and experience for yourself. My husband is from Barbados so we return regularly and stay is several different properties according to the size of the group that comes with us, so can compare with previous experiences so I hope this helps anyone thinking of renting Joanne’s beautiful house. Thank you Joanne. 😊

Absolutely perfect stay!
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 3 bedroomed accommodation all ensuite
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.
