Family-friendly holiday rentals in Oistins

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!!!

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.

Great Apartment in the beautiful Sugar Hill Resort. Aparment was exactly as per the photos. Fully Equiped with extra towels, beach towels, kitchen equipment, dishwasher/washing machine/dryer etc We love the location, albeit we always hire a car and i feel you need one staying here if you want to visit the beach and restaurants on a daily basis Would 100% recommend this Apartment. Special thanks to the Property Manager Kavell who was always messaging to make sure everything was ok or if we needed anything. Brillinant Stay on what is an amazing island

We really enjoyed our stay at The Palisades-6A. The house was spacious and clean, and we didn't lack for anything. We appreciated having beach towels, that the property was gated, and that we were able to use the bbq! The location is a short drive from Oistins and the St. Lawrence Gap, and a short walk from Enterprise Beach, which we enjoyed. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to Barbados!

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

My recent stay at Coral Cove #4 in Barbados was nothing short of exceptional. This spacious and well-appointed apartment offers a perfect blend of luxury and comfort, making it an ideal choice for travelers seeking serene beachfront. The apartment is impressively spacious, featuring an open-plan living area that seamlessly integrates the kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces. The décor is modern and tasteful, with high-quality furnishings and thoughtful touches that create a welcoming ambiance. The bedrooms are generously sized, each equipped with comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring privacy and convenience. Thank you! We loved it!!

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.

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.

We had a great time at Jacqueline's place. The place is comfortable and peaceful at a great location near the sea. There garden is nice with shade from the trees and we enjoyed the ocean view from the sofa. Very friendly and helpful host. It is recommended to have a rental car to move around, because the place is not close to the popular beaches, supermarkets and markets. Overall it is a great place to stay!

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!

Quiet, beautiful spot on the south end of the island. Great, private view of the beach and mangroves from sprawling gardens. Occasional monkey visitors. Practical kitchen with needed equipment. Good ac in bedrooms. Giant sliding door for the main room. Strong WiFi in office and most of house and immediate deck (occasionally unstable but think that’s island issue). 15 min to grocery store. Most higher end restaurants and resort beaches on northwest coast 30 min+. Short walk down to beach - rough not swimmable but beautiful. Host was the most helpful we’ve ever had with Airbnb. Helped with all kinds of activity / reservations (for a nominal fee).

My stay at David’s Place was fantastic! The space was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. David was super responsive and made sure I had everything I needed. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a great Airbnb experience!

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 stayed for 2 weeks and the location was perfect ZR11 right out the front door takes you right to Bridgetown! Sheila is next door and will help with everything you might need and Katherine is just a text away We WILL be going back it was a great time and a great place to stay

I had a wonderful stay at Yvette’s Airbnb. The decor was warm, inviting, and truly made me feel at home. Everything was spotlessly clean, and all the amenities were in perfect working order, which made for a very comfortable and stress-free experience. The view overlooking the valley was absolutely breathtaking — peaceful and calming during the day and spectacularly beautiful at night. Yvette herself was a fantastic hostess: kind, attentive, and always willing to help whenever I had a question. I’m already looking forward to my next trip to Barbados and I hope that Yvette will have space available — I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else!

This was a lovely condo with everything we could possibly need/want. Beautifully appointed with extremely well equipped kitchen. It was a very spacious and comfortable. The only complaint we had was the hard bed pillows. We recommend adding some feather bed pillows as an option to those who don't like hard & flat pillows. The property had an excellent security and was ideally situated on a beautiful white sand beach with two private pools. Many restaurants within walking distance and a small grocery store 5 min walk. Melissa, the housekeeping, came M,W, F and kept the condo spotless. The only issue we had was reaching the Alleyne concierge a couple of times via email because my email went to junk mail I recommend phoning if it's urgent. We had the property mgr, Chris contact info to we finally got in touch via him. Overall outstanding accommodation and much better value than a hotel. We will be back!!!

Thank you for the great stay! It was a great location, great amenities, and very kind and responsive host. I hope to stay again in the future.

A lovely and quiet place tucked away from the rest of the island with great view of the ocean! The only downside is the amount of sargassum on the beach, but the pool more than compensates for that. We had a great time and would stay here again!

Rodney was the best host I’ve ever encountered on Airbnb. Started with an amazing welcome and got better by the day. He was always on hand to give us tips and advice. And helped us navigate the hotspots in more than one occasion. Ie getting to Oisten market early and where to eat when we got there to avoid LONG waits! Will be excited to book another stay in this amazing apartment.

Cyrus is an EXCELLENT host! The home looks way better in person and it is clean and well organized. It is centrally located. As such, the convenience store, restaurants, bars, the beach etc are a short walking distance. Private taxis are readily available and all the locals are very friendly with giving directions if you do decide to go for a walk to explore. I will definitely be staying in his home again when I return to Barbados next year. Thank you so much Cyrus!

Great view. Great location. We had a great time. The apartment is located in a great location , walking distance to Oistins market, private but yet close to everything, we felt like we had a private beach. The kitchen was well equipped , super market was close by. It was clean, it had parking and security at all times. It made our vacation even better than imagined.

Keisha was very available. She made sure to touch base with us multiple times before we arrived in Barbados. Once we got to the Airbnb she was super welcoming. Gave us a tour of the place and gave us recommendations for local stores/ restaurants and taxis! She also gave us little cupcakes because it was my girlfriend’s birthday! When we come back to barbados we will definitely be coming back here! Would recommend to anyone wanting a safe house near the beach and oistins fish fry!
