Beachfront vacation rentals in Barbados

My partner and I stayed for a week in Jess’s apartment, whilst I surfed and remote worked from the UK and close to my partners home in Oistins. Jess’s cosy apartment was just what we were looking for, private, quiet, comfortable and with lots of outside living space. The breeze blows through all the open shutters making it nice and cool and we enjoyed dinners in the garden and afternoon naps in the hammock. The apartment is a 5 minute walk from Freights Bay to surf and 20 minute walk to Miami Beach and Oistins for the shops and places to eat. Jess was the highlight of the trip giving us loads of great recommendations and an all round great host and person. We will definitely be keeping in touch and saying again!

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.

As a first time traveller to Barbados, Tonia was the best host and made our stay memorable. She was quick to help out with our needs and also suggest the best spots to visit. Thanks Tonia!

My husband and I fell in love about 8 years ago with Barbados and this was our 8th visit to Barbados. We booked this villa about 3 days prior to our arrival, and were impressed with the quick communication and very easy self check in. The villa is beautiful, nice and white and bright. The beds were very comfortable and it was spotless. Plenty of beach towels and bath towels! It was lovely sitting on the deck watching the surfers, we felt safe and happy in the Freights Bay Area with a quick walk to Miami Beach, the location of this villa was convenient and within walking distance to the fish market and Masseys grocery store! A lovely villa in deed and another wonderful vacation in Barbados.

Salty toes is unbelievable!, and it's a must visit! From the cleanliness of the house itself to the sandy beach coming right up to the outdoor seating area, simply amazing! It's one of those places that's quiet and off the main street but it has everything on its doorstep! lovely bars, restaurants, food courts, lovely boardwalks etc it has it all.. the house was spotless, fully stocked with everything you could imagine. Big cooker, big fridge freezer/ washing/ dryer facilities. Salty toes has ample space for families. Two big seating areas inside for eating at, and then the outdoor area just has to be seen! Amazing! All 3 bedrooms were huge, crisp clean linen and all beds with memory foam mattresses! We'll definitely be back to Salty Toes, home away from home. I'd be giving this place 20/10! Top Class Chloe, keep up the good work!

Great place overall! The unit itself is roomy, recent and clean. The location couldn’t be better; on The Gap, but not right in the bars section so it was quiet at night but you just had to walk 5 minutes to get to the action. Great host and his co-hosts were great as well. My wife and I really enjoyed our time and will be looking to come back with our daughters!

Thank you Leslee Ann for welcoming us into your home and for your great communication throughout. We really enjoyed our stay and very much appreciate you accommodating our evening flight with a late check out.

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.

We just returned from 6 absolutely gorgeous, sun-soaked days at Villa Sunkiss and we’re already dreaming about going back. From the moment we arrived, the villa took our breath away. Every room was thoughtfully curated with an elegant, beachy Caribbean vibe that made us feel instantly relaxed and at home. The kitchen was a dream—fully equipped and just perfect. But the real magic was the beautifully maintained, super comfortable outdoor space with jaw-dropping views of the water from every angle. The only tiny downside was that the sea wall stairs had been taken out by a hurricane last year, so direct swimming access from the property wasn’t possible. The location overall couldn’t be better—just steps to the lively St. Lawrence Gap and despite being close to the action, the neighborhood felt peaceful, safe, and super friendly. Cathy our host was fantastic and always available by text. This was the kind of stay that sticks with you long after you leave and we can't wait to come back!

We had an incredible experience at the Sapphire Beach Condo in Barbados! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a lovely welcome basket with a bottle of rum punch and local snacks. We were also greeted by a beautiful ocean view. The condo had everything we could possibly need. It was stocked better than most homes! There were so many thoughtful touches, like a fully stocked laundry room, good quality hair dryer, Bluetooth speaker and Alexa. We rented a car from across the street which was very convenience but if you need a taxis we recommend Anderson who is across from the property. We used him to go to the airport. My son realized he left his expensive camera in the car rental. We called Anderson and he retrieved the camera for us. That kind of kindness and reliability is rare. We were beyond grateful. All in all, this was a great vacation rental. The attention to detail, hospitality, and thoughtful extras made our trip unforgetable. We highly recommend Sapphire Beach Condo.

We were there for a family reunion. Lots of us were scattered about at LC , Salty Toes, Barefoot Bay etc. so the location is great for convenience, grocery shopping, bakery etc. Lots of sea weed at this time of year which is not great. But can’t beat location for convenience. If you plan not to rent a car, it is easy to move about on foot or by local transport. Noisy though at night as a busy junction.

Everything you could want in a vacation place. Quiet beachfront out the back door and local exploration out the front door. Snorkel with turtles literally out your door or hop on a “boogie bus” and go touring to nearby beaches and restaurants! The place was beyond my expectations!

Home away from home on Barbados ! Can’t say enough great things about Neil and his seaside cottage! We loved the pups too! Thanks for everything, we can’t wait to come back one day ! Even the monkeys came to say hello in our last morning 🌺🏝️🙌🏼🐶🐒

Fantastic house, beautiful west facing views for sunset over the sea, really close to Fish Pot restaurant with beach and pier to swim off. The house itself is even better than the photos, and the rooms are all to a high spec with aircon and lots of space. We liked being at the quieter end of the island, it's very private and quiet. David and Chris were excellent hosts, Chris was very helpful and gave us suggestions for lunch restaurants on the beaches. Would highly recommend and stay again, thank you.

This was our first time in Barbados and this property made for a great trip. We would definitely stay there again. Great location right in the middle of all the St Lawrence Gap action and restaurants, but still felt secluded and private when on property. We were greeted at the location when we arrived and given a thorough walk through of the property as well as local recommendations. If you are looking for a place to stay on the south coast look no further!

I am so glad that we chose to stay here! Everything pictured online is exactly what you see in person. The home was very welcoming, comfortable, and was in a peaceful location. The pool was great! The host Lorraine was available to answer all my questions and concerns at all times and Jan the property manager was a pleasure to deal with and available as well when we had any questions or concerns. We will definitely be going back to Barbados in the future and would for sure book with Lorraine again. Thank you so much!

I truly had a s remarkable stay at Dana's place. The condo is perfectly equipped and has a private beach access. Indeed the apartment is better than it looks at the photos. Dana was super flexible and kind and provided helpful recommendations. Five stars - thank you Dana!

We could mot imagine any bettee location..directly on the beach..amazing terraxe on the top appartmen. we felt like home on our full week of stay. further we got free beds and umbrella on the beach every day. A full during stay cleaning with a glance. Gregory was always reachabble..around with lot of recomonantions and any help we required. We hope to stay again in this wondeeful place.

Location is great in terms of amenities- Rubis just opposite; next to local bus stop; short walks to either mullins beach & the great house beach at the other end. Speightstown is only a short bus ride away, with the lovely PRC bakery, The Caboose and Heywood beach which were all great. The property itself was spacious and as described- we especially appreciated the large back patio- have most of our meals overlooking the beautiful sea view & sunsets! Equally we really appreciated the amenities Ana has to offer- the washing machine & dryer; the floaties, life jackets and snorkelling gear etc. I’m going to put a few things here which I think might be helpful We are a small family- mum, dad and toddler (3): - The traffic outside is REALLY loud- often late eve. Large vehicles drive by- whole house shakes- v busy road/watch child! - very rocky at the base of the back steps- we didn’t swim directly from here - no AC in the main living space- so hot! -pick up app- unreliable in location

We loved staying at the Edverly Beach House in Bathsheba. It was exactly what we expected from the description and the photos. It is perfectly situated overlooking the ocean and we had additional (unexpected!) We Gatherin' Festival on our doorstep, fantastic cultural experience. We particularly loved the veranda for the views as well as for the very welcome breeze. The kitchen was adequately furnished and we enjoyed working out how to use the oven - start with setting the clock! We stayed in Bathsheba before so we knew what to expect in terms of scenery and the coastline. The local community is extremely welcoming and friendly and thanks to the regulars at The Sea View Bar we are now deeply committed to playing Dominos (kindly gifted to us by the landlady but you can buy them at North Point Animal Flower Cave stalls). Edmund was an excellent host and we also enjoyed Freddie the gardener's chat. We hope the beach house is available when we decide to stay in Bathsheba again.

Nice place to stay at, was clean and the front desk was very friendly. Location nice as you’re right by the beach. I will say the amenities are up to date and well taken care of but you’re right by a street and other neighbors surrounding. Didn’t bother me and I got sleep but if you’re hearing sensitive would be aware.

We loved staying here. It was so cute. Christy was the perfect host. Loved having delicious coffee every morning from her coffee shop. The front porch was private and peaceful.

Beautifully appointed apartment in a great location. Very big for 2 guests. Lovely big and comfortable bed. Loved that we could walk straight onto the beach. Stunning beach that you could walk up and down on and great for swimming. Great private patio to enjoy meals on. Apartment is a great base to explore the island from. Very responsive house manager to ask questions of during the stay. Would thoroughly recommend the apartment.

My friends & I had a great stay. Barney’s place was perfect for the 3 of us! It looked like the pictures, located in a great area. Easy for our drivers to find. Thank you Barney for everything!
