Family-friendly holiday rentals in Porters

We have stayed at "Windswept" twice prior to this visit. Mandy has always been a very good communicator regarding our bookings. The villa is spacious with a beautiful private garden with a plunge-pool. All the bedrooms have airconditioning which is an essential as the nights in Barbados are very warm. It's a small thing but there was a decent supply of hangers in every wardrobe! Sugar Hill is a short drive from Holetown with its shops and restaurants. Once again we had a fantastic holiday and would certainly want to stay here again if we return to Barbados.

This was my first time staying at an AirBnB in Barbados after several visits to either family members or hotels while visiting the island. My entire family (wife, 2 kids and my mom) were all highly impressed as were friends and family who visited us. The pool was perfect, the beach was amazing and listening to the waves on the balcony became a way for all of us to find peace and quiet. The security was friendly and informative. Our host Jameela was an ANGEL! We have many travel struggles getting to the island and she was always responsive, supportive and helpful. The cleaning lady was so friendly and did an awesome job. We will definitely be coming back the next time we are back in Barbados!!!

We stayed at 204 Mistle Cove for one week. The location is right in the heart of Lawrence Gap with all restaurants and amenities within walking distance. The apartment itself is just as advertised, although the view is actually nicer than the pictures. The main room sleeps with a broadview of the ocean and the calming sounds of waves. The patio is spacious and perfect for breakfast , lunch and dinners in front of the ocean. My daughter loved the pool and the ocean front was a lot of fun with the high waves. A calmer and longer beach was only a two min walk from the apartment at Dover. Overall, we had everything we could have needed here, and would easily stay again if we go back to Barbados.

Jeff and Vicki's place was perfect! It is on the slower side of the island so it was great for relaxing and enjoying each other's company. They were extremely responsive and left some snacks and a few beers to get our vacation started. Amazing views of the ocean! Looking forward to staying again when we return.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Palisades-6A. The house was spacious and clean, and we didn't lack for anything. We appreciated having beach towels, that the property was gated, and that we were able to use the bbq! The location is a short drive from Oistins and the St. Lawrence Gap, and a short walk from Enterprise Beach, which we enjoyed. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to Barbados!

Wayne and his team were very helpful. The house was prestige and in a great location. When I return to Barbados, I will 100% be booking with them

My recent stay at Coral Cove #4 in Barbados was nothing short of exceptional. This spacious and well-appointed apartment offers a perfect blend of luxury and comfort, making it an ideal choice for travelers seeking serene beachfront. The apartment is impressively spacious, featuring an open-plan living area that seamlessly integrates the kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces. The décor is modern and tasteful, with high-quality furnishings and thoughtful touches that create a welcoming ambiance. The bedrooms are generously sized, each equipped with comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring privacy and convenience. Thank you! We loved it!!

Enjoyable stay. Met fantastic people sharing the same block. Nice to hang around the pool and chill. Beach is 2 mins walk so easy to get to and the sea is a stunning turquoise blue.

Lex’s place had it all. There is a beautiful beach right outside the back door, it’s walkable to a grocery store, several cafes and bars and the Friday fish fry. We also could grab busses right outside the house to get to Bridgetown for more beaches and restaurants. Walking around felt safe (well lit) but of course be aware of your surroundings and the cars wiz by so be aware of where the sidewalks are. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space. We loved how there were lots of towels and pillows! The only thing to prepare for is that the second bedroom gets traffic noise so maybe bring earplugs if you’re sleeping in that room.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Paolo was extremely helpful and friendly with great recommendations. The house is on a cute gated street across the street from a great surfing spot. Walking distance to Miami Beach which is a pleasant beach with a ton of shade trees. Oistins local fishing village is close enough to walk. For more lively area a quick jaunt to Rockley beach by car. For us a quiet walk to the surf and beach was ideal. Paolo must be one of the friendliest hosts we’ve had! The house was spacious and serene. Kitchen had all the necessary items. Can’t wait to return!

We had a wonderful months stay in Elizabeth's cottage. We felt at home as soon as we stepped inside. The kitchen was very well equipped. Super comfy beds and lovely bed linen and plenty of towels. It was extremely clean and we loved the outside space. The locals were so friendly and we always felt safe. Elizabeth's Dad, Tommy was near if needed and Heather did a wonderful job cleaning each week. Had some great chats ! Missing the sunshine and having breakfast on the veranda. You can see the sea from the cottage and be swimming in 5 minutes! There is a great fish market at the end of the road where the fish is so fresh. We visited last year and stayed in a hotel but staying in a cottage for us was so much more enjoyable. We did hire a car as we wanted to explore the island but it's not a necessity. Thank you, Elizabeth, would love to return in the future.

My stay was very comfortable, with all the comforts of home. I loved the location and the bus was just a few feet away.. I look forward to my return. The hosts were very accommodating. I truly enjoyed my stay. Thanks for having me

Quiet, beautiful spot on the south end of the island. Great, private view of the beach and mangroves from sprawling gardens. Occasional monkey visitors. Practical kitchen with needed equipment. Good ac in bedrooms. Giant sliding door for the main room. Strong WiFi in office and most of house and immediate deck (occasionally unstable but think that’s island issue). 15 min to grocery store. Most higher end restaurants and resort beaches on northwest coast 30 min+. Short walk down to beach - rough not swimmable but beautiful. Host was the most helpful we’ve ever had with Airbnb. Helped with all kinds of activity / reservations (for a nominal fee).

We had a fabulous 8 day stay. The cottage is well equipped and is perfectly placed for shops,beaches,bars and restaurants. There is a short cut to the supermarket which we found priceless when carrying groceries. The sunset crest club was minutes away and has excellent facilities for a day round the pool. We ventured out along the beaches which were beautiful and empty. Shopping centre is close by also. Lizbeth and Patrick very helpful and lovely owners even helped us out with some milk which was hard to come by. Would definitely go again but I’d go for longer next time.

We had a fabulous 2 week stay at La Canoa. With 6 of us there was plenty of space and we loved hanging out in the garden and on the veranda. We especially enjoyed the wildlife in the garden and the direct beach access. The kitchen was great, fully equipped and clean. Chris was a great host and swiftly responded to any questions we had. Having never visited Barbados before we could not have asked for more. La Cabane, the closest restaurant to La Canoa, serves the best food in a perfect location. (walking distance) We loved being by the harbour and rum distillery, there was something quite unique about this location. I would recommend hiring a car if you are staying here although we used the buses, we also explored further afield to the East and South coast Thank you Chris for providing such a wonderful place to stay in Barbados.

Hanifa was great with communication and the property was well stocked with toilet rolls, waste bags, hairdryer, iron, and cleaning products.. Had fresh bedding provided after a week. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again. Felt very safe there as a female staying on my own

Joseph was amazing helping us get settled in. He was very detailed when explaining everything in the unit. We reached out to him on day two because the water wasn’t getting hot, he responded and fixed it immediately, so we had cold showers on the first day, but all in all we had an awesome time and I would book this location again 💕.

Our stay at Jenna's place was wonderful. We didn't have a car, so we relied on our feet or buses, or taxis. The last ones are very expensive like the whole island. It is walkable distance to Massy supermarket, and the beach. Our favorite beach was the Brownies Beach, right after the Pebbles beach. For those you have to take a bus. There are also closes beaches by the main road. I would recommend to visit Botanical Garden where they feed monkeys twice a day at 11am or 2 pm, also visit Batsheba - the most beautiful views in Caribbean, Harrison Caves - so, so, definitely overpriced. Go for a walk at the boardwalk in the evening. The boardwalk starts at Rockley beach and goes a long the coast. The apartment itself is located in beautiful natural environment, golf course with old trees. Apartment had all that you need, there is also laundromat, and by the laundromat big room full of books ...thank you Jeena and Mark for the awesome stay!

Where do I even start?! 🥺😐… I have no idea, so here goes... Four of us (two couples) booked Alexis' place 8-9 months in advance. Sadly, we could only book it for one week :( – initially, we wanted it for two weeks to cover our entire stay in Barbados, but that wasn’t possible because the place was already booked. We really wanted the place, so even though it was only available for half the time we were there, we decided to stick with it and find an alternative for the first week. It turned out to be the best decision ever! We spent the first part of our holiday on the east coast, and what a hidden gem that was 🥰. Then we moved over to the party side of the island, and we were simply amazed by the beauty and charm Alexis' house has to offer. Okay, nothing’s perfect, so I’ll mention one downside… but it’s really minor. You’ll get used to the roosters! 😂😉 And as for Alexis? Please install some blackout blinds or shutters 🤗… trust me, it’ll work wonders!

This is our first time in Barbados and wow what a place. Makara our host could not do enough for us. Arranging collection from the airport to helping us get a hire car. The house was amazing and exactly what we needed for our holiday. Our house keeper Amanda was so thorough and kept the house immaculate. I would recommend getting a hire car. We would definitely stay here again. Such a beautiful house. Very peaceful.

What a shocking Barbados experience, in the very best sense! Jan’s property is owned and operated by genuine hospitality professionals and it shows! My arrival was overseen with unexpected service and a welcome stock of many food basics to settle me in with relief and joy (including items that are nearly impossible to find on store shelves lately). Immaculate with cleaning services every few days. Maintenance is a top priority, evident in the functionality of appliances and plumbing fixtures, which can suffer in the tropics. The pool and patio area also perfectly maintained, functional and stocked. Jan’s “right hand,” Sandra, is godsent…. Warm, incredibly hard working, friendly, available and extraordinarily skilled. I understand why Jan has loyal return guests! I hope to be fortunate enough to join their ranks.

Johns place was in very comfortable with fans in the living space and bedroom. It is in a great location for Worthing food court, St Lawrence Gap, Oistins and Bridgetown. Only 25 minutes from the airport. I would recommend staying here.

My group had a great time , Melissa was very responsive to any questions we had. We had a very relaxing and peaceful stay and highly recommended her home .

Absolutely loved my stay at this apartment! The location couldn't be better, everything is within walking distance, making it super convenient to explore the beautiful south coast of barbados. Preetam and Ingrid were exceptional hosts; they were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, always ready to assist with any questions or needs we had. The apartment was well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the starter basket they provided was a delightful touch that made us feel right at home. We had the most amazing time, and I can't recommend this place enough. I will definitely be back for another visit!
