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!

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!

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.

Amazing location and view! Chloe is a wonderful host and very responsive. Can’t wait to visit again!

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!

We enjoyed the stay at Leslee Ann’s. The beds were comfy and the area quiet. The space was clean and well appointed. The washer and dryer were clutch. We rented a car and it was a great location in a quieter section of the island but always felt safe. We would recommend to anyone.

This is a perfect place to stay , zeema and Paul were very helpful and really nice people , the location is walking distance from Dover beach literally 10 steps , many restaurants walkable around the area , st Lawrence is walking distance as well where the bar areas are and more food it’s about a 10 min walk I really enjoyed my stay and would stay again . Paul was even nice to offer me a couple rides when he was free but I was unfortunately on the beach ! Would stay here again ! And definitely worth the money

My family and I had a FANTASTIC stay at this Airbnb! I was in town for a wedding with a large group and this was the perfect stay. The penthouses were spacious, comfortable, and very modern. Everyone loved the property! The location was great; close to the city centre of Bridgetown, as well as the tourist hub, St. Lawrence Gap. The beach was very accessible (just across the street), although we often walked to neighboring beaches. The host also gave very extensive and helpful local recommendations. (I come to Barbados pretty often but I learned of new spots from his list!) He was also very helpful and responsive regarding the space. We asked for a rollaway bed at the last minute and it was provided promptly and for a very nominal cost. The place is pretty high tech but there is an extensive manual that details how to use each item. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and will definitely return again! Thank you Namrata!!!

To say our family had one of the best trips ever would be a huge understatement!!!! Barbados and Sweetwater House are both extraordinary!! We boated with Captain Dwayne, snorkeled with Cool Runnings (both were recommended by our host) and ate so many exceptional meals in BEAUTIFUL restaurants. Sweetwater House is so fantastic! The bedrooms were perfect with comfortable beds and each with its own lovely bathroom! Perfect for a family of adults. The house is so well appointed with a fully equipped kitchen and the loveliest decor. But it’s the outdoor settings that were my favorite part! An awesome pool and multiple outdoor eating and living areas surrounded by beautiful flowers and stone walkways with an incredible view of the crystal blue waters. I’ve never written such a lengthy review and I haven’t even covered everything I loved about this awesome home!!

Phillip and Tina met us personally on arrival. And they were very responsive on whats App with one or two little questions we had during our stay. The complex itself is not completely quiet (compared to a remote all inclusive type place) due to being close to a main arterial road, but it seems to quiet down considerably after 11pm. It's very easy to get around, using the inexpensive local taxis/busses ("La Cucaracha!). There are a handful of restaurants very close by, a small variety store across the street plus the gas station next door for any essentials. The variety store has beer, rum and a few wines on hand, plus some amazing homemade baked goods, and a selection of a few grocery essentials. We enjoyed our stay as we were looking to try something different than an all inclusive type vacay. Great work Phillip and Tina. Thanks!

The Sandgate Beach House was absolutely beautiful!!! The pictures and description were extremely accurate. As a group of six, we had plenty of room both inside and out. The patio/terrace allowed us to spend 95% of our time outside. It was such a pleasure to wake up and be right on the beach. Can't say enough about this house. We hope to return next year!!

We can’t recommend Rosanne and Doug’s place enough! We traveled with our two kids and we already want to come back. The condo was absolutely beautiful and more than we could have asked for. The location was wonderful, and was easily walkable or a short drive to many local restaurants and beaches. The condo itself was very clean and had everything (and more) that you’d need for your stay. Rosanne went above and beyond prior to our arrival by providing helpful suggestions, answering questions, providing baby gear, and even looking at the grocery store ahead of time to help us get a better understanding of the ingredients in certain items to help accommodate my son’s dietary restrictions. She even provided us with local fresh juice and some snacks which we all loved. We had the chance to meet Rosanne and Doug, and can’t say enough about their kindness. If you’re considering booking their space, do it! You will love it!

Our stay at Villa 403 was absolutely wonderful. From the communication before we arrived with Sandy, the warm welcome and early check-in with Dawn we were made to feel very welcome. VotB is ideally located, beaches are stunning and quiet during our stay. The pool and gardens are beautiful and well maintained. We loved the local restaurants; check out Zacchio's next door, and the 'Life is Sweet' Dessert bar across the road. Activities available to book from Holetown beach if you want them; we enjoyed a boat trip with snorkelling stops where we swam with turtles & stingray. The vendors are not pushy and we felt very safe and welcomed by them. Of course, the highlight of our sty was Coral! the listing does not make it clear that Villa 403 has the most marvellous housekeeper, Coral, who will make your stay magical! nothing was too much trouble for her- she washed our laundry (which smelled amazing!),shopped & cooked amazing Bajan food. We loved our stay and would rebook without question

Vi hadde et fantastisk opphold i "Paradise Villa". Vi var en familie på seks voksne personer og huset rommet oss alle på en svært komfortabel måte. Store fine rom, trivelig og luftig, deilig hus med svært velutstyrt kjøkken. Huset ligger vakkert plassert rett ved stranden med deilig lyd fra bølgene og rolige behagelige omgivelser. Den velholdte poolen gjorde det helt komplett, og er deilig og privat å slappe av ved. Vi fikk god hjelp til alt vi lurte på av Makara, verten vår, og alle små problemer som dukket opp ble raskt og vennlig løst og rettet opp. Det er kort vei, gangavstand, til et innholdsrikt super-marked så det er enkelt og handle det man trenger. Makara var veldig fin å kommunisere med i forkant av oppholdet og alle forespørsler ble raskt besvart. Vi vil absolutt anbefale dette stedet for en deilig avslappende ferie! Takk for oss! Vi kommer gjerne tilbake:)

Just returned from 12 nights at Casa Migos fig tree! What can I say, Sean and Akilah are amazing hosts, very responsive and will go out of their way to ensure you have the perfect stay! The apartment is everything you need, modern, chic and homely. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with the luxury of a pool to dip into, the terrace area is a wonderful area to sit to watch the world go by. Great location, 2 mins to the local shop and restaurants and 5 minute walk to the beach. The perfect apartment in a superb location, we will definately be returning.

101 Palm Beach was a nice surprise. The condo matched the description on Airbnb and we couldn't have been any more pleased with our decision to book it. Realtors Limited was very responsive and contacted us shortly after we arrived to make sure everything was OK. They also provided a nice concierge service and connected us to a reliable and polite taxi driver. He was able to take us everywhere we wanted to go. I am very familiar with this area in the Barbados we were glad to call it home for 2 weeks. We will definitely try to book through Realtors Limited for next year.

If you are traveling with a larger party, this is the house to stay in! There's enough space for everyone, and all the bedrooms are spread out for the most part, as well as the bathroom! The house had everything we needed plus nice touches such as coffee and tea, even some cold water in the fridge already! Uvee is super helpful and accommodating! The location is up the street from the beach, just a short walk away from many of the best restaurants in the Gap. Also, a short walk to many stores, including the Dover Market, which is also near the ATM. As someone who's visited before, this is my favorite stay so far! Uvee can also arrange the taxi for airport pick up and drop off if needed, which was very helpful!

There were 12 of us and we had a fabulous time! Everything was very well described. We suggested AC be put into the dining room and living room as it was extremely hot and we like to stay in most nites and play games, cards, etc. #5 stars all around! Dominic was very helpful prior to our trip, at check in and at check out. Thank you!! Linda Papineau an friends

We miss this house already!! The pictures do not completely compliment how gorgeous this place looks from the inside and outside! The house is spacious and very clean. The view and surroundings are just breathtaking! The morning sunrise is so beautiful and peaceful. The staff is friendly and super helpful, overall excellent services! Restaurants, stores are just a 10-15 minute drive away from the house. Food delivery options are great, however you can also cook your own meals in the spacious kitchen. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy Barbados in all peace and quite and explore the island by car. The sea in front of the house is wild and great for surfers, the quieter blue beaches where you can relax, swim, snorkel are just 10-20 min away. We have enjoyed our stay and will definitely return!

Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful location. House has everything you need for a great holiday and the outside space is brilliant. We were there as a couple but lots of space for 4. The direct access to the sea made for easy swimming, with only a few stones to navigate. The Kayak was great fun. It’s easy walking to several local restaurants with a good variety, including Cicis and the Seashed. Speightstown was about a 20 minute walk but taxis and buses were easy to find if the heat or the rum got too much. We had a great few days at the cottage and Ana was helpful throughout. Highly recommend for a relaxing break, with the rest of Barbados just on your doorstep. Thanks again Ana.

We really loved staying at Edmund’s place in Barbados. The location was perfect! Near restaurants and walking distance to everything. The home was clean and spacious. It offered all the amenities we needed during our stay between WiFi, AC, and kitchen appliances and the views could not be beat! Edmund was a great host. Always responsive and communicated well! Would love to stay there again!

This is an excellent place to stay on the west coast of the island, exactly as described. The view is outstanding with the beach at your doorstep. The apartment is very nice, comfortable beds, nice living room, fully equipped kitchen. Lots of recent upgrades! Easy access to the bus to get to places along the coast. Lots of nice outdoor spaces, with sofas and a table, all under a shelter. The barbecue is great to have as well and a grocery store just across the street. The beach out front is rocky so would recommend some water shoes. The hosts answered all our questions and helped us get a taxi back to the airport. You should have no hesitation to stay here!

We will go back to this exact location, loved the peaceful setting and private access to the beach.
