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.

Everything we could have wanted and more
We had an amazing stay, the villa was absolutely perfect and had everything we wanted. Every room has their own bathroom and the Villa is very spacious, with several relaxation areas. Simon the Villa manager is lovely and gave us a thorough tour of the house and told us everything we needed to know. We will definitely be returning! Thanks again for a perfect stay.

Family and friends holiday
We had stayed at the property 8 years prior so knew what to expect and overall we had another great experience. The view from the master bedroom is hard to replicate. My only feedback would be the property it starting to feel a little tired in places but we would highly recommend it to friends

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!

A great villa
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. We did manage to walk to the beach, though you definitely need a car to get around. Lovely quiet neighbourhood, with the occasional cow waking us in the mornings! All in all a wonderful stay in a great value for money villa.

Anxiously awaiting the next time
The visit was simply wonderful. Check in process was a breeze. The owner and the property manager were responsive, accommodating and a delight to work with. The rooms were spacious, clean, comfortable and reflective of the pics shown on the listing. Several large sitting areas inside and out to suite the needs of couples or a family. Mornings were glorious with the sounds of nature while the view absolutely stunning. Will definitely be returning as soon as possible. Thanks Lee and Simon!!

An amazing villa & excellent service
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. Many thanks to Audrey & Lee, the owners for all the recommendations & a very relaxing holiday. We will definitely being coming back again real soon. With kind regards & special thanks from The Williams', The Lewis', The Panes' & The Derhams'.

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!

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

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.

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.

Beautiful House beautiful island
Beautiful Barbados. That is the best way to summarize our vacation. Everything about the house was exactly how it was shown on the website. Classy and clean. Waking in the morning to the spectacular view, swimming in the evening as the sun set... what else can a person want? Rooms are large and this house can accommodate a large party or a small one. We are beach people and explore to find the nicest least crowded beach. Found some very nice beaches close to the house. Shopping and food are close by also. I would highly recommend this house. For the most part we cooked at home. We found a great fresh fish market close to the house. Surfing is great in the southern part of the island - snorkeling at the bottom of the hill. All in all wish we could have stayed a few weeks!! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

A great find in Barbados!
Harper's Villa in Barbados was an excellent place to stay and we are so happy we found it. The location is fantastic as it sits on the west coast and is close to lots of great restaurants. We rented it from March 14-21, 2016 and there were six people in total in our group. The home is very large and is very well outfitted to make your stay comfortable. The owners were very responsive during the rental process and when we arrived the property manager met us and walked us through the home and showed us everything. We also met Lesley-Ann who was just finishing up cleaning when we arrived and she is also available to cook dinners. We arranged for one meal and it was just excellent. If you have the chance I would highly recommend having her cook for you so that you can enjoy a wonderful dinner in the lovely dining room. The pool is very clean and everything well maintained. The pictures really do show everything and can be trusted. What you see is what you get! I would absolutely recommend this place to friends and family and if we ever go back this is where we would like to stay again.

Amazing Easter Holiday
We had the most wonderful stay for 10 days in Harper's Villa. The house is extremely comfortable and in an excellent location with so much space inside and outside on various balconies and terraces. There were 5 of us and my daughters spend big part of their days revising for their upcoming school exams and always found plenty of space to do their individual studying. On other occasions when we had fish barbecues the big terrace off the main living room was fantastic for family lunches and dinners. Everything functioned perfectly, with good A/C and high speed wifi in addition to a well equipped kitchen. However the biggest contribution to our wonderful stay was made by two lovely ladies: Sophie and Leslie. Sophie looked after us in every possible way from organising our car hire to bringing us BBQ lighter and checking on us when there was a small fire in the neighbourhood. Leslie was the most wonderful and cheerful housekeeper we ever came across, always happy and smiling and extremely friendly and kind to my children, keeping the house in perfect order. We regret not being able to have her cook for us while we were there as we had too much choice in delicious restaurants but will book her well in advance next time we come. We enjoyed our stay so much that we looked straight away to come back next April but there was no availability so we will be keeping an eye on the time when our holidays can match their availability and definitely come back

6/10 Okay

Nice...but could use some improving
I'll start with the pros: The views from this villa are LOVELY! and I do mean LOVELY!!! The surrounding shrubs and trees are vibrant and beautiful. Also, having a pool at the home was delightful...especially for our children, who swam every day! Additionally, the owners have a washer and dryer at the home that they allow you to use which is very beneficial for families traveling with children. The outside seating area for dining was splendid. The housekeeper Leslie Ann was a pleasure and does a nice job of keeping the home clean. The house manager Sophie was also helpful...responding quickly when we experienced problems with the home. However, there were MANY problems that we experienced with the home...and while I understand there are things that can go wrong with any home...it's most inconvenient when that time is during your vacation. The villa is lovely, but it is evident that it is need of some "sprucing up"...and some maintenance. Just a FEW of my suggestions: 1. The furniture needs to be either reupholstered or replaced. 2. The refrigerator is in SERIOUS need of an upgrade as we had to keep a towel at the base of it the entire stay to soak up water that leaked from the bottom. 3. The flooring throughout the home has seen much better days. 4. One night there were heavy rains and my husband and I were awoken to the sound of water dripping in the master bedroom...the ceiling in the corner of the room was leaking. And these were just a few of the issues we experienced. Overall, however, the home allows for very lovely views...and is conveniently located to beaches and restaurants...but is in definite need of some REFURBISHING!
