Contemporary Town house In Porters, St James

If you are looking for a contemporary holiday location on the beautiful West Coast, then this is for you. Situated in a quiet road within a few minutes' walk from the beach, this house is 1 of 4 in a secure, select development. A parking space is provided immediately outside the entrance. Your first taste of this delightful home is via electronic gates from where you enter into an inviting shared pool area complete with 2 outdoor showers. Your own good quality sunbeds are to hand where you can relax and laze in the sun, or should you choose, in the shade under the parasol. Upon entering this home you walk into a large, bright open plan lounge and kitchen area with wooden shutters for windows in true Bajan style. The kitchen is fitted with all the appliances you will need. The comfortable sofas seat 10 as it includes a sofa bed. There are 3 ceiling fans downstairs and with the doors open, the Bajan breeze will waft through, cooling the temperature. At one end of this room, doors open to an al fresco dining area seating 6, which has the benefit of a canopy, should you prefer some shade - just the place to enjoy a glass of wine! Upstairs are 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms, 1 being en-suite to the master bedroom which also has a large balcony where you can sit and watch the green monkeys go back and forth to collect their fruit. Both bedrooms have amazingly comfortable American super king size beds, air conditioning and ceiling fans. Crisp cotton sheets, soft bath towels and bathrobes are provided. Both bathrooms have walk-in showers to freshen up from the temperatures of the day before deciding whether to eat at home or choose from the abundance of excellent restaurants. On arrival at this home you will be welcomed by our Property Manager. Should you wish we can provide a welcome pack (tea, bread, milk, etc) and taxi from the airport. We can also arrange competitive care hire rates, although for those not wishing to drive, there is a bus stop at the end of the road. The beaches are simply stunning with the sea clear and azure blue where you can swim with the Turtles. A short car or bus ride will bring you to the 'Limegrove Lifestyle Centre' in Holetown with its designer shops (Armani, Cartier, Diamonds International to name a few), coffee shops, restaurants, banks, etc with a large supermarket nearby. This home is in a perfect location from where you can easily access sandy beaches, gourmet restaurants (including the famous Lonestar) and an inviting pool area to welcome your return.

Lovely property but major building works
The location of the property was very not far from Holetown, and close to the beach. We liked the property and the outside space, swimming pool and the veranda were great. The only was that there was major building works going on directly opposite the property and the noise was terrible, and this was for 5 and half days a week, it also created a lot of dust, but the property manager Geoff did arrange for us to have an additional weekly clean which was very kind of him. You couldn’t use the downstairs outside eating area or BBQ as it was so dusty and always felt dirty no matter how many times it was cleaned. But we did really like the property and felt comfortable there, but we did go out more than we had intended because of the noice, so all in all we didn’t have the peaceful holiday that we would would have liked

Holiday ruined by construction site noise
Extreme disappointment that the property owner did not inform us of the fact that there was a major construction site 10m from the rear of the property that was in operation Monday to Saturday 06:30 to 16:30hrs and minor operations being carried out on Sunday mornings. The construction site had been working for some considerable time (12 months plus) before we arrived and was some months from completion when we left. Wagons delivering and tipping stone & materials causing noise and dust. Construction plant & machinery being delivered and collected on multiple occasions. Emptying and servicing of site toilet units. Smell was horrendous and extremely noisy. The pool area was not only very dusty (including the two sun beds/chairs) but the environment was very noisy and as a result we were unable to use the pool area at any time during our stay. Constant noise from the site cement mixers (also located at the front of the building site which was around 10m from the rear of the apartment) which were working constantly during site working hours and being loaded manually and by site machinery. Th property was tired and not well maintained. Dirty crockery, No hot water in the kitchen. Bedroom wardrobes collapsed, no outside light for eating. No dining table to eat meals from inside. Shutters bolted shut with polythene over. Dirty cooker & hob. Location is good for beach and public transport which will be needed as pool are is unbearable to relax by and use.

Extensive, long term construction
The property is relatively well located but for the extensive long term construction underway to build 30 3-4 bedroom villas right next to the back of the villa. The villa has no glass windows just levered shuttered which cannot be opened due to th noise, diet and the extra stimulation this gives the local mosquito population. There are no mosquito screens on these doors and windows and the mosquito nets on the beds are grubby. We unfortunately spent as little time in the property as possible due to this and the fact that the property hadn’t been cleaned properly (the dust was not solely down to the construction). At 2am the security shift swapped over noisily and at 6am construction starts. The pool area is dusty and mucky; whilst the gardening lady cleans the garden with a hose, nobody cleans outside the front doors and it’s dirty and slippery. Additionally Mango court 1 is being refurbished so there’s lots of mess outside and stangnant water, a haven for mosquitoes. With some investment this property could be made amazing but for now I would find somewhere else. It’s a shame given how responsive both the property owner and manager were but being told “it’s just like that in Barbados” doesn’t cut it with us (we’ve been here many times!).

Ask Questions
The pictures in the listing are beautiful and the owner is responsive. I requested an early check-in so that I could get set up for a meeting, and it was approved. The flower pots are broken, and the lounge chairs in the photo were unkept. The housekeeper met me there smiled, gave me the keys, and told me she would return the following Monday with more laundry supplies; the washing machine did not work (was later informed that it was cold water wash only). I began my meeting, tried to turn on the lamp, it didn't work and another light bulb was missing, the fan didn't work. I decided to make pasta for lunch, the dishes were dirty (including the ones in the dishwasher), and upon further inspection, I noticed that the entire place had not been cleaned. I messaged the owner, he was responsive. He had the regular housekeeper come back the next day to clean. She didn't want to, she was rude, began speaking loudly, and I had to ask her to leave. He (the owner) asked his friends to come over to help, they suggested I take a lamp from one of the rooms upstairs and use it. They asked their housekeeper if she would help, by cleaning my unit; she did an excellent job. She was the "Best". THERE IS ONGOING CONSTRUCTION THAT WAS NOT DISCLOSED AT ALL. Construction begins promptly at 0600 Mon-Fri and perhaps 0700 on Saturday making it difficult to sleep in and work. The property manager was aware. This information was given to the owner.

Beautiful Vacation!
Mango Court was a great spot for our short family vacation. Well located near the fairmont and lone star. We rented a car to make it easier for the kids, and to access the grocery store and restaurants. We loved using the pool. We enjoyed cooking dinner at the property. The BBQ made that easy. For the beach, we rented chairs with Rico between the Fairmont and Lone star hotel. They sold food and drinks. We spent one day at the boatyard. Totally worth it. A car was a must to get there. The beach was fabulous. With je kids we had to get there early to get the good chairs. Like 10am. Mango court property was good. It looked a little more dated than the pictures but once we settled in, we were very comfortable. I loved hanging out in the hammock at the deck. Bonus point for having a Nespresso machine. I brought my own capsules of my favourite coffee.

Good stay in Barbados
The place is really cute and has a nice courtyard with a pool that is shared with only 3 other houses - we were even lucky enough to have it for ourselves for a day or two. The location in Porters is good, close to good dining options in Holetown. The house also has a grill that we used and is generally a nice place on the west coast for exploring. The only things that could be better is the maintenance of the place, as it felt like not a lot of effort is put into that (some deeper clean up, there was no cutting boards in the kitchen etc).

winter getaway
This property was a delight. Took the family for w getaway of their choice and since we have been to Barbados several times this was the pick. The property was all we hoped it would be and Geoff the on sight contact was extremely helpful. The location is great with access to the beach, close to the bus service and both Holetown and Speitstown within minutes. Th deck off the MBR was an absolute joy and the almost daily visits from the monkies was a hit with the kids. They are talking about "next time" already !!

Spacious Home but could be equipped a little better
The home is in a very safe neighbourhood , however we were travelling without a car and it was a LONG walk to the beach , and some beaches were hard to access. The home has lots of sqft , but lacked some maintenance, the kitchen was equipped but lacked sharp knives and a full pots and pans set. It was however nice to have the BBQ at the house. The leaning mirrors were a concern since we had a 2 and 4 year old toddler. The maid came with only 24 hours left in our 4 day trip , I thought that could have been managed better. There was no book with local restaurants or tips and tricks for travellers in the house , that would have been nice. Geoff was easy to get ahold of on Whattsapp but did not really have a stong grasp on reccomendations of where to eat etc. The check in and check out were seamless and Steve was great to talk to when we were booking. They could use proper beach towels. The maid did an excellent job and even found a cot for our 4 year old to sleep on , I wish Geoff would have taken the time to give that to us out of the storage when we arrived.

Barbados chill out
Great property, though looking a little tired. Good facilities and well managed by Geoff Fox. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would recommend Mango Court to people wanting a holiday home close to facilities and beach.
