Family-friendly vacation rentals in Saint Philip

This was my first time staying at an AirBnB in Barbados after several visits to either family members or hotels while visiting the island. My entire family (wife, 2 kids and my mom) were all highly impressed as were friends and family who visited us. The pool was perfect, the beach was amazing and listening to the waves on the balcony became a way for all of us to find peace and quiet. The security was friendly and informative. Our host Jameela was an ANGEL! We have many travel struggles getting to the island and she was always responsive, supportive and helpful. The cleaning lady was so friendly and did an awesome job. We will definitely be coming back the next time we are back in Barbados!!!

Phillip was an amazing host on Airbnb, he was quick to respond, answered all questions, provided accurate information and made our first Airbnb experience a wonderful one.

We stayed at 204 Mistle Cove for one week. The location is right in the heart of Lawrence Gap with all restaurants and amenities within walking distance. The apartment itself is just as advertised, although the view is actually nicer than the pictures. The main room sleeps with a broadview of the ocean and the calming sounds of waves. The patio is spacious and perfect for breakfast , lunch and dinners in front of the ocean. My daughter loved the pool and the ocean front was a lot of fun with the high waves. A calmer and longer beach was only a two min walk from the apartment at Dover. Overall, we had everything we could have needed here, and would easily stay again if we go back to Barbados.

Jeff and Vicki's place was perfect! It is on the slower side of the island so it was great for relaxing and enjoying each other's company. They were extremely responsive and left some snacks and a few beers to get our vacation started. Amazing views of the ocean! Looking forward to staying again when we return.

Wayne and his team were very helpful. The house was prestige and in a great location. When I return to Barbados, I will 100% be booking with them

Only a 5 min walk to the freights bay surf break - so if you’re going to surf this is an awesome place to stay. The house was very spacious. Highly recommend.

Enjoyable stay. Met fantastic people sharing the same block. Nice to hang around the pool and chill. Beach is 2 mins walk so easy to get to and the sea is a stunning turquoise blue.

Spacious apartment, great location short walk to grocery shopping, restaurants, beaches and entertainment. The apartment has new stove and refrigerator, the washing machine works but it’s old. TV and wifi all great. The beds are very comfortable. Lots of towels and sheets. The bathrooms need some updating. The apartment is quite airy but in addition the fans and AC make it very comfortable. The neighbours are very friendly. We are definitely hoping to stay here again when we return to Barbados.

wonderful place in a quiet area near some of the most well known surf-spots on the south coast and the silver sands beach in barbados. situated on the coastline, you can hear the waves of the sea day and night. Jaqueline was very uncomplicated and helpful in every way. highly recommended.

Where do I start! I had an amazing time here, with memories to last a lifetime. Engrid and the family were the perfect hosts and made me feel like part of the family. The location and accommodation was perfect and just what I need during my 3 week stay. Engrid went above & beyond expectations and the warm welcome I received was amazing. Engrid arranged a taxi from and to the airport and even arranged a car for my 3 week stay that was all reasonably priced The Lodge was clean and had everything I needed with a beautiful terrace where I would eat my meals every evening. Very private accommodation but Engrid & family members are at hand if needed. If you are looking for a peaceful country side retreat that is no more than 30 mins away from most attractions & parishes, then this is the place. I can’t wait to go back and stay here again and enjoy the peaceful views & sounds of nature once again. Thank you Engrid!

Jason and his family were excellent hosts. Great communication before check-in and always on hand to answer any questions throughout my stay. The room also has everything I needed with some very thoughtful touches I did an adventure hike through the rainforest with Jason as my guide, which was absolutely unforgettable and I’d definitely recommend doing this. The area is very secluded but there’s a few small convenience stores selling what you need. I found the local people are amazingly friendly and there’s a great sense of community in this small village. Is definitely recommend visiting this part of Barbados.

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.

Great apartment, 2 bedrooms, lovely layout, well equipped kitchen. Host very helpful and responsive. Worth noting - no air-conditioning but fans in the bedroom work well. Would advise renting a car to get around.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Paolo was extremely helpful and friendly with great recommendations. The house is on a cute gated street across the street from a great surfing spot. Walking distance to Miami Beach which is a pleasant beach with a ton of shade trees. Oistins local fishing village is close enough to walk. For more lively area a quick jaunt to Rockley beach by car. For us a quiet walk to the surf and beach was ideal. Paolo must be one of the friendliest hosts we’ve had! The house was spacious and serene. Kitchen had all the necessary items. Can’t wait to return!

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

We had a wonderful stay at Bouttime. The house was very comfortable, and much more spacious than the pictures imply. The kitchen was really well equipped and beds very comfortable. We all loved using the plunge pool (especially the kids) and there is a lovely view of the ocean from the garden. Robert was very helpful and accomodating and made some great local suggestions and reccomendations including passing on the details of his daughter in law (a beauty therapist) who came to the house to do treatments (massages, facials etc..) this was a lovely extra little treat. We all loved swimming in Shark's hole (a local bay on the Atlantic side that is safe for swimming when the tide is low.) Renting a car is a must and also great way to see the rest of the island.

one of the best equipped Villas we have ever stayed in. was a pleasure renting the property. highly recommend!

Kason and Dawn's place was perfect for a short birthday trip with a friend. It was private, comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked with the amenities necessary for cooking, and having the rental car included was a HUGE bonus.

Stayed here for 4 days on my way back from Guyana. Antonio's place has everything you need for stay. Very important - price consists picking up in airport and way back, that's quite cool! Cozy apartment, nice smooth breeze, friendly host! Only one thing - stupid dog in neighbour house still barking, but! it stops at midnight so you can set your clock)) Well, enjoyed Barbados with Antonio, and haв a nice trip!

Orions view is just a beautiful place to relax and enjoy ocean views! Laid back atmosphere makes it so easy to just enjoy and soak up the sun. The neighbourhood people are the so kind and humble. We loved the food and culture, and made new friends. Jackie is lovely and prepared dinners for us, and is very helpful, especially in navigating around…Lisa next door is a nurse, and very kind. Good to have around if needed. Spent time hanging around Lighthouse grill, met so many nice people…Karaoke Thursday..so much Fun! Kevin is an awesome host! Very friendly and fun to chat with. Very responsive and attentive. I loved my time there.. Thank you Kevin for a wonderful adventure🥰 Diane

My family and I had a fantastic stay . The place was just as described in the pictures and the host was wonderful and responsive . It was a peaceful getaway yet near to supermarket a small plaza , food eateries ,banks and a gestation also close to transportation . My overall rating is 10 stars . We will most definitely be back. Thank you so much Fiona for making our stay an enjoyable one

Thank you Comarie, Sebastian, and staff!!! Coral Villa turned out to be the wonderful rest and relaxation spot we thought it would be. Nestled on a private piece of property with an in-ground pool, this 3BR 2BA home is 2 minutes from the pounding surf of the Atlantic and a five minute walk to Shark Hole beach where we witnessed extraordinary sunrises wading in the ocean with the locals. WORD OF CAUTION. Currents and undertow are very strong on the Eastern part of the island. We arrived very early and Comarie gave us breakfast stuff and coffee from her refrigerator. THANK YOU for your hospitality! You probably need to rent a car as it is far from the tourists but Crane Beach is less than 10 minutes away as are Cutters and Marci Polo restaurant. Hunte’s Gardens are a must do! We drove across the island a couple days and recommend Lobster Alive and The Boatyard for beach rentals and swimming with the sea turtles. If you want to get away from it all I would definitely recommend this house.
