Holiday rentals with a patio in Barbados

My sister and I enjoyed our first visit to Barbados and staying at tucked away! The apartment is located really close to Rascals (Brandon beach) which is an amazing beach. The apartment was lovely and we enjoyed being able to cook at times. The grocery store is in walking distance (5mins walk). I really like how helpful and responsive Ian was. We will definitely stay here again. One thing to note that in the community they have kites flying all night. My sister was startled awake by the kites the first night. The kites didn’t bother me though. Definitely loved it.

We had such a great stay at Pierre’s place. Such a lovely place to stay. The place was super well organised and had everything you needed plus little extras that made the stay. Walking distance to a great beach. Lovely surroundings and even encounters with local wildlife. Would definitely recommend staying here.

So nice that we had to stay twice. Valda is a wonderful host and doesn't disappoint. Her apartment lacks nothing and we had a wonder time there. Thank you so much Valda, much appreciated.

Great little spot that isn’t far from plenty to do. Mona and crew were great! We would stay here again!

Greg and Debbie were wonderful hosts. Debbie picked my Fiancée and I from the airport, showed us round Bridgetown, took us shopping too for a very fair price. We had visa appointments and Debbie took us to the embassy, stayed with us, took us shopping too. Greg's family were also very homely and kind as they helped us print out documents that we had forgotten. We felt very much at home and seemed as though we were being hosted by family members. That's how warm and accommodating they were. I highly recommend Greg's cottage for anyone visiting Barbados. One thing to note is that it's a little bit far from the fun activities, so getting a car is highly recommended.

Natasha's airbnb was exactly as advertised: Clean, extremely spacious and well maintained. The area is very quiet and allows for a restful stay. Natasha herself is very responsive, friendly and easy to communicate with.

We enjoyed our stay at the Island Life apartment. The condo was as the pictures showed - very clean, comfortable, and supplied with the items we needed (cooking utensils, etc). We had a car, so it made the location very convenient to beach, restaurants, and supermarkets although there are also some within walking distance. Laura was very responsive and answered all our questions quickly. The housekeeper Sharon was also very helpful and accommodating. We would definitely consider Island Life when we visit the island again.

I spent 12 nights at Nicole’s apartment. Nicole was a great host. She let me check in early & check out late. She was proactive & offered this without me having to ask, which was really kind. The apartment had everything I needed & more. I didn’t use the oven but it’s there if you need it. The location is great for walking to the beach & St Lawrence Gap area. Oistins is just down the road & the bus stop for buses to Bridgetown & Speightstown is 2 minutes walk. There are also ZR vans to the airport & other places which run frequently along the nearby road. After a busy day’s sightseeing it was great to be able to relax watching shows on Netflix. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe at the apartment. I brought insect spray but I didn’t need it. The windows have mesh to keep out insects. But also in the area around the apartment insects weren’t particularly an issue. The WiFi worked well & the surroundings felt peaceful despite being close to the road. Overall - a great stay!

Our stay at Dora’s Cottage was absolutely delightful — peaceful, comfortable, and filled with the warm charm of Barbados. The cottage is nestled in a quiet, safe neighborhood, making it the perfect retreat to relax and recharge, while still being conveniently close to beaches, shops, and restaurants. The space was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully prepared with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to soft linens. We especially enjoyed the outdoor area — ideal for morning coffee and unwinding after a day of exploring the island. Corey was a fantastic host — welcoming, responsive, and full of great local recommendations. His hospitality truly made the experience feel personal and memorable. If you’re looking for a serene and authentic stay in Barbados, Dora’s Cottage is a beautiful choice. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already looking forward to coming back. — Descilla & Family

Our stay was absolutely lovely — it felt like a resort experience but with the added flexibility and autonomy that made it even more special. The space was beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully maintained. What really set it apart, though, was the host — truly exceptional! So warm, helpful, and accommodating throughout. Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a comfortable and elevated escape.

Beautiful house situated within a local community. The home itself had every amenity available, so was very well equipped. Very well presented. Excellent communication with the hosts. Very close to the beach. Would highly recommend this house/hosts and location.

Wonderful house in a local, friendly neighborhood only 10 minutes by bus to the busy tourist hub. The welcome basket was amazing - the personal touch that makes a house a home! The house is roomy and well appointed with AC in the bedrooms and living room. Excellent water pressure for showers, and the outdoor pool was appreciated for cooling off. The small touches and attention to comfort was evident throughout the home. Very comfie beds! Shirrell was immediately responsive any time we needed to reach out, including our sudden early departure back to Canada. We felt supported throughout our stay, knowing our host would assist as/if needed. We used the space a lot, particularly for working while there and the house functions quite well for this. The only drawback and completely outside the host's control are the six dogs next door that do not stop barking, whining, and scrapping for many many hours each day and well into the evening. Thanks again for being amazing Shirrell!!

A clean, comfortable home in a quiet area, perfect for a relaxing stay in Barbados. Our three young children loved the green space -and the pools! Well-equipped and nicely maintained, with easy access to beaches, restaurants, and local attractions. Ideal for a peaceful getaway.

Eyre's place was surprisingly the most coziest air bnb I've ever stayed in. I literally felt right at home. Home was well stocked with everything I needed. Very peaceful apart from the cocks crowing but they too were not early risers lol. There is a bar right on top of gap where you can relax, listen to music and chill with occasional meals. Ordel, our taxi guy was always ready and available to take us shopping or anywhere we asked to go. I can't say enough about him. He went above and beyond in my eyes. My stay was damn near perfect. The ONLY complaint I have is to tell Erye whoever is responsible for upkeep of the house and cleaning needs to be replaced lol. They are definitely not thorough. Just a few spot checks I would be happy to mention to him personally but it didn't and won't deter me from coming back to Sweet Myrtle. I wish I stayed longer. Thank you Eyre and Ordel for a memorable stay🙂. And yes, I felt comfortable and safe there, no problems.

Everything was as described and the place was beautiful. The beach was at the bottom of the driveway. Kirk was very responsive and made instructions as well as check-in and check-out very seamless. Will be booking again!

This place was accurately described and looked like the pictures. Very clean very neat, it’s pretty small but it works. Location was a nice distance from things so I would check what you plan to do if you stay here. Also the neighborhood has dogs that bark constantly and are not quiet at night. Host was nice.

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.

Staying at Prior Park was a bliss. The property is brand-newly renovated and looks and feels it with lots of impressive gizmos all around. The location is great fit those looking to stay at an affordable price on the west coast. I suggest however having a car handy as there aren’t much in the way of public services and taxis are expensive. Our host was fantastic, always on hand when needed and we can’t thank her enough for making our stay absolutely incredible. Best Airbnb in barbados bar none!

We absolutely loved our stay. This is our second time staying at the home. The pictures you see is exactly what you get. The private rooftop patio is large with view of the ocean. We enjoyed having coffee and breakfast there. Also a perfect way to watch the sunset. The location is perfect, walking distance to enterprise beach, supermarket, lots of places to eat and Oisten. Simone was very responsive and attended to any questions we had. We are returning next year to Barbados and will be staying here again.

Clean,Spacious and quickly felt like home away from home.The decor was beautiful and clean.Bed, couches and chairs were comfortable as well.The outdoor patio made for a nice chill spot in the early mornings and daytime.Loved the natural sunlight that came through all the windows and if I needed to cool down the ac being on for a short time cooled down the entire apt. It was a lovely stay and I’d definitely stay again and recommend. Ria is an amazing host who responds not only prompt but with much flexibility and I really appreciated her for that!

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!

Shameika place was exactly as listed. Clean and spacious airbnb for two people. It felt very much at home and I would stay again. It was very close to the beach which was across the street and not too far from the airport and other surrounding places. I felt very much like a local there. The supermarket and other shops were a 10 minute walk from the airbnb. The people in Barbados were kind and the neighbors. I am happy to have found this spot. Shameika was kind and responsive when we needed things from her as well. Thanks again!

That’s great to hear that Allan was so responsive! Here’s an updated version of your review that includes that I had an absolutely fantastic experience staying at this apartment! The space was clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect. But what truly made this stay special was the host, Paul and Allan, so warm, welcoming, and attentive! When the coffee maker wasn’t working, he replaced it the same day, showing just how committed he is to making guests feel comfortable. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a great place with a thoughtful and caring host. Five stars all the way!

Fiona was an amazing host. She thought of everything, from the first day to the last day. We really appreciated the fact that she left milk, bread, tea coffee etc. for us. The place was well laid out and perfectly sized for the two of us. It was clean and tidy with plenty of utensils, towels etc. She was also very responsive, not just leading up to the check-in but also during our stay which we particularly appreciated when the water stopped working one morning. When we advised Fiona the water wasn’t working, she immediately called Barbados Water Authority (BWA) and found out what the problem was due - an issue with the main line. This was outside of her control of course but her timely response made all the difference. This was also in a great location that was safe, walkable with well maintained grounds. We would highly recommend Fiona’s place, and Fiona to anyone. Thanks Fiona for having us!
