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. We will be booking again for sure!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

Harpers Villa was superb!! We had 8 adults accommodated easily with so much space. What an amazing place to stay in. Very spacious, very clean & the service provided by Leslye-Ann was faultless, nothing was too much trouble. The price is also very reasonable compared to similar properties. There is so much to do & see. Great places locally to eat out & wonderful beaches everywhere you go. A great time had by all.

Spacious, light and airy very comfortable house

The house is really spacious with several balconies and terraces and a choice of 3 dining areas. The 3 main bedrooms are large with large beds and nice bathrooms. You can be all together or separate out as desired! The view to the sea is lovely, the pool is good (we did our lengths most days) and there are sun loungers and chairs to suit all plus a garden with lime tree and coconut palms and a bbq. We would definitely recommend this villa. The agent Simon was amazingly helpful, very responsive and got us huge family shops as we were not allowed out pre second test results - luckily we were in this place so felt on holiday anyway!

Lovely Villa, great location

A lovely villa - very airy and ideally designed to make the most of the winds which blow through and keep the living areas cool. The bedrooms are beautiful, well furnished and all with aircon and ensuites. There are a number of balconies to sit and relax, and plenty of space by the pool for eating and sunbathing. Only 5 mins from central Holetown for supermarkets, beaches and restaurants. Three generations went, and all enjoyed it. Its a quiet location with a wide range of birds visiting the garden, and even some wild green monkeys on one morning. Lesley Anne does a great job of keeping it clean and is a great source of local info about where to go and what to do. Highly recommended.

Simple, Clean, Lots of Space

Harpers Villa was the home base for our party of 7 (Ages 11-80) for our trip to Barbados. The Villa provides everything one would need: - it is clean - there is lots of space - it is very reasonably priced - there is a pool - the beds are good - there is a housekeeper - there is a local manager who is VERY helpful - it is conveniently located - it has a nice view - the house is well equipped with the things you would need (from plates to guidebooks) - it felt safe Harpers Villa is one of those places that everything just somehow seems to work together, and the end result is a great place! I would highly recommend.

Harper Villa Barbados

What a wonderful house. When we arrives at the villa we were greeted by the Management and shown around the house. We were two couples and had a choice of 4 large bedrooms all beautifully decorated and furnished. The master bedroom had a balcony where we sat and watched the sunset. The pool and terrace is designed to be used all day as it has sun and shade. The garden is a very pleasant place to sit with lemon and banana trees. Very good shop in Hole town and plenty of good restaurants. Saw turtles release into the sea! We had the best holiday ever and look forward to the next viv & jeff

Covid Perfection

We booked this villa back in 2019 in readiness for a special family holiday for a 50th Birthday celebration and we 100% cannot fault the villa - its everything you would wish for - spotlessly clean, well equipped, good Wifi, in a quiet loctaion, with beautiful views and the beds were amazingly comfortable. But what really made the holiday for us given the global situation with Covid and quarantine requirements from Barbados was the planning, reassurance and communication from Simon the property manager - not to mention the huge family sized grocery shop he voluntarily did for us prior to our arrival to see us through our first few days. He managed to turn a stressful situation into an idyllic break away for us and we truly thank him for all his help.
