Three couples enjoyed a month at this beautiful home. The kitchen was well stocked. There were multiple sitting areas for privacy while reading or working. The pool was monitored and cleaned several times per week.For working nomads, WiFi works well. We were all able to join Zoom meetings and send large files without any difficulty. Michael, the property manager was attentive and quickly addressed the few household issues which arose during the month. The undeveloped pasture in front of the house allowed for a beautiful view of the ocean, amazing morning rainbows and breathtaking sunsets. This field also had several grazing cows, a troop of verdant monkeys and multiple bird species. The best part of our trip were the Barbadian people, who were friendly and kind. Recommendations: 1.) If you enjoy hiking and want to talk with local residents. attend Sunday morning 6 am hikes with the Barbados hiking club, but don't be late. They begin promptly at 6:00 am. 2. Historic tour of Bridgetown with ToursByLocals.com guide, Victor Cooke. 3.). Hunte's Gardent. 4.). Wildlife Refuge 4.) Drive along the Atlantic Coast 5.). Dinner at Champer's

Wonderful place to stay clean and beautiful home and setting. We enjoyed every part of our stay. There were things like internet outage that are obviously out of the hands of the owner but the House Manager Michael is quick and responsive and was able to get the company out to rectify the situation very timely.

Pool was ok with no afternoon shade and no umbrellas. Had no adequate water for 3 days due to faulty pump that took too long to rectify. Hot water was inconsistent and in adequate. Had no power for a day and no internet for 7 days. The stay was average to the standard I expected.

Great stay in beautiful house
From the moment we walked in there was just a wow factor about this property. So much space brilliantly laid out and with seating options everywhere. Spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed and more. Sadly we hit terrible traffic on the way to the house so kept the host waiting a lot. And then we didn't realise we had arrived and drove away. in a panic. Note that Google maps shows this as located in the Sugar hill complex when it isn't! Follow the directions given and you're fine.We loved to see the cow with his egret friend, the monkeys (they didn't come too near) and the visiting birds

It was nice ,but for me too far away from beaches, stores and you had to call taxi or walk for 20 minutes to the bus or you could make arrangements with the property manager for a transport which was little price and very convenient for us and we could ALWAYS count on Steve the driver The house was huge in the nice area, swimming pool nice addition,the manager also gave us contact to a local farm and the lady would come to our house with fresh vegetables and fruits if you want to explore the island you may consider renting a car,bc you will spend money on transportation unless you limit yourself to local busses,they drive over there on the opposite side like in UK and narrow roads,people are very nice and American dollars are very welcome You get 2 barbarian for one US Cost of living very expensive if you eat out or in you pay a lot unless you eat at local shacks Be careful on the sun use sunscreen and start with 50If you going with family or friends and plan to just stay in the house and kick back and enjoy the time away this is a perfect house and quiet area send a message to the owner and the property manager will contact you,he can arrange pick up for you at the airport and back He will be there for you all the time very nice person and I don’t know how to add photos

Very Happy Christmas
We had a truly wonderful festive 2 weeks with our family and their partners. The owner had kindly put up a tree in the hall and lights outside which was very much appreciated. The well-appointed villa has a super pool, 4 big bedrooms and numerous patio/balcony areas which gave everyone space to chill. The villa manager was quick to respond to any small issues we had and communication with the owner in the run up was prompt and friendly. Wonderful sunset views meant we were quite happy to stay in for sundowners and a bbq on several nights. There’s a pay-as-you-go gym just 100 yards along the road for the more energetic We felt very safe and very at home. Will definitely be back.

A wonderful 3 weeks in Barbados
Beautiful property with amazing views and sunsets. Bedrooms are huge with lots of storage which was great. House does need a little TLC in places but that would not stop up from returning to this property. Great location, very quiet, close to Holetown and glorious beaches and restaurants. A couple of minor issues during our stay which were dealt with very promptly by property manager Michael. Wildlife was amazing too with visits from local monkeys. All in all a wonderful 3 weeks at Harpers.

Amazing Christmas and New Year stay at Harpers
This villa is amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here over Christmas and New Year. The property is spacious with massive bedrooms, all en-suite and air-conditioned, as well as a number of indoor and outdoor seating areas/verandahs to suit your mood. There is a wonderful view west towards the sea and we were greeted by a full rainbow on our first morning. The master bedroom balcony is the best for a beer and watching the sun set. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the pool was cleaned twice when we were there. The gardens are beautiful and we saw and heard so much wildlife, including a family of monkeys. The villa was cleaned twice while we were there - thanks to Deborah for looking after us. Minor point to note - hot water can take a few minutes to come through for showers - give it time! Very many thanks to Simon the villa manager who was always contactable. He met us at check-in, recommended places to eat, organised some groceries for when we arrived and allowed us to stay a bit later on check-out day as we had an evening flight. Our first visit to Barbados was truly memorable, and I am sure we will be back.

Sibling and spouses get away
We found the home provided great space together and equal space to spread out. The bedrooms are the only air conditioned areas of the house but could provide pretty good ventilation with a lot of windows and doors opened. The pool was fantastic as well as the many outdoor sitting areas. Great privacy with the house not directly facing any other homes. The monkeys visited often which was always fun to see. The area of Holetown is fairly upscale area with great beaches not too far away. Showering at alternate times was required to ensure we each got hot water. With temperatures in the 30’s for us walking to Holetown was not an option therefore a car was helpful. Overall wonderful stay and should we return to Barbados we would definitely want to stay at Harper’s

The property was clean and spacious, with beautiful sea views. Large, comfy beds and well equipped kitchen. House manager Simon did a very comprehensive shop for us prior to our arrival.

This was a beautiful property, views from the pool were amazing. would have liked to have been closer to bars and restaurants. You can walk into Holetown but a good 30 minutes via the road, Walked back but not recommend as no street lighting and up hill. Would have liked air con in the living area rather than ceiling fans. Saw lots of animals while sitting outside, monkeys, kittens, sheep, huge toads, firefly’s amazing. Had such a fab time but be aware of supermarket prices, very expensive.

Paradise at Harpers
We had a brilliant holiday. Simon was very helpful and communicative throughout our stay. The villa is lovely and in a great location to explore the beaches up and down the west coast, and indeed the whole island. There was some building work going on next to the villa during our stay, so it was a bit noisy at times (as well as a keen gardener out strimming before 8am!), but it didn't detract at all from our holiday experience. We would definitely stay again!

Lovely week at Harpers
We had a great week at Harpers. It is very spacious and airy and the view to the sea was lovely. We enjoyed sitting out on the patios, using different ones at different times to catch the breeze. The private pool was great and well kept. The house was well stocked with equipment and was cleaned mid week. There were plenty of towels for the pool and beach and the air con in the bedrooms was very effective. Simon was very flexible on checkout time as nobody was arriving that day and we appreciated not having to rush in the morning.We loved our time here and would definitely recommend it.
