Beachfront holiday rental in Saint James

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!

Had a wonderful stay at Dreams!! From the minute you walk in and see the stunning panoramic view of the ocean, you will be left with a smile on your face for the duration of your stay!! Simply breathtaking!! The place is as described, very clean and comfortable. Access to the pool which also has a stunning view, and steps away from your own beach. Carl was very friendly and helpful in every way possible, giving suggestions on where to eat and must see places to visit, he even gave us a little cooler to take with us on our adventures. Very cool guy !! I would recommend to rent a car to get around and you have your own parking space which is very convenient. Animal Flower Cave is a must see, and only a 15 minute ride away and The Fish Pot is an excellent restaurant just a 3 minute ride up the street. This was our first time to Barbados and nothing but great things to say about it ! It's not a question of if I'll be coming back to Dreams...it's a question of When!!

We had an absolutely amazing stay in April 2025! This place is truly a gem, featuring a beautiful pool and a private, cozy jetty beach. You can lay down on your bed and watch and smell the ocean through the floor-to-ceiling open (if you wish) window. It had everything we could possibly need — we didn’t have to ask for anything extra. One standout detail (especially for travelers who love to stay organized): there was plenty of storage space for clothes and an enormous number of hangers — truly a dream for any woman on vacation! The location is also unbeatable — right in the heart of the island, surrounded by great bars and restaurants. You don’t need to drive anywhere (but if yiu do they have free parking spot, bus and taxis just next to the place); you can just walk and enjoy everything the area has to offer. The host was incredibly responsive, helpful, and made us feel so welcome. Honestly, it’s hard to believe a place like this exists! We are so grateful for this experience!

great layout. perfect for a family with two kids. good swimming beach right out front. well appointed with all that is needed.

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 loved our stay at Whispy Waves. We were only the 2nd guests to stay here, so everything was new and the decor was to a high standard. The kitchen was fully equipped and had everything we needed. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Plus there were plenty of towels and extra linens. The covered patio was great for the evenings and watching the sunsets. It is in great location close to all amenities. Although just off a main road it still felt very private. The addition of private beach access, beach chairs supplied and a laundry room was a huge bonus. We've stayed at many places along this main Road, but this was definitely our favourite. Thanks Chloe and hope to be back soon.

Zeema and Paul have been extremely nice, welcoming and helpful. They gave us so many recomendations and tips to help us have the best few days of holiday. They had a last minute cancellation in one of the better studios and they upgraded our room free of charge. Great hosts, would definetely recommend and would come back!

Just one word… WOW!! Have stayed in Barbados many times and Shawn’s place surpassed anything we have ever stayed in before. The location was just outside Holetown buses run frequently a short walk away but we always hire a car for convenience. There are a couple of beach bars a short walk way including Juju’s and Jumas restaurant and the Lone Star are both within an easy walk. There villa itself was spacious and had absolutely everything you need for a wonderful home from home holiday. It also had a fantastic small gym that was used almost everyday. Big shout out to Jennifer who is meticulous in her cleaning and kept the villa spotlessly clean. We had a wonderful stay and cannot wait to return. If you are looking for a spacious villa on the beautiful West coast of Barbados within east reach of all amenities then this place is for you. Would 100% recommend to anybody - if you book here you will not be disappointed.

We stayed at 2 Barbados condos: Here, in Holetown, Judy, the Gate-guard, met us and she was wonderful. She helped us make a smooth entry into our place, and later she answered our questions about local shopping and how to get there with no car. Francene met us the next day and she was SO helpful. We loved our 4 day stay! The pool was quiet and good for lounging and for lap swimming. This condo is verrry nice. There wasn't much to want for, except for better beach lounging and a swimmable beach. Our next 5 days was at a Condo on Sapphire Beach. THIS beach is great! but OMGoodness, our condo here at Sapphire was such a step down from Francene's, which we really missed.

Great location near beach, supermarket and a couple of lovely restaurants. Secure parking / gated building. Pool area nice too.

We had a fabulous stay at pineapple lodge. It really was a home from home. Spacious yet homely, equipped with everything you need. The garden was a pleasure to be in with plenty of local wildlife from the lovely birds and frogs to neighbouring family of monkeys! The outside pool was just perfect! We spent a few evenings in and made good use of the barbecue. We very much enjoyed the privacy and seclusion offered by the property. Only 5 minutes walk from holetown beach which i must say was one of the best beaches we visited. Not overcrowded at all and we really enjoyed the snorkelling. Plenty of lovely cafes, bars and restaurants in the area offering a good variety of cuisine to suit all budgets. The sunset cocktails on the beach were excellent! The housekeeper Julia looked after us very well and Clare our host was great with communication throughout our stay. We really had an amazing holiday and pineapple lodge was the perfect stay!

We had an amazing 6 day stay at Suzi’s! The apartment pool was larger than expected and we loved the layout of the apartment. Very clean, well appointed, and safe!

Beautiful location with only 7 units in the complex- felt private and as if we were at a resort location for handful of people. Three couples travelled together and location offers lovely bedrooms and ensuites for all. The three different dining areas were great and we used them all. Plunge pool was lovely and the large pool was terrific and often unused. We used the bbq and cooked a few meals. Daily housekeeping was fabulous. Several restaurants in walking distance and main grocery store a 10minute drive south. Wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend Merlin Bay if you want a beautiful beachfront location.

Great location and apartment . Ideally situated close to Holetown on the west coast . Host was very accommodating . Spacious high spec apartment, easily accommodates 6 people . Would recommend this apartment without hesitation . Trevor London UK

Green Monkey is an lovely, spacious well-equipped apartment and it is hard to find a more excellent location . The compound is very pretty and well-kept with a lovely pool and lots of greenery. Kerry was a wonderful host, communicating with us before and during to ensure everything was going well. Mullins is just footsteps away and such a lovely beach to spend the days on. We truly had one of the best vacations ever.

Last minute booking but great place, location and host. Will come back.

My wife and I stayed for 3 beautiful weeks. The location was perfect right on the outskirts of everything Banks,restaurants,supermarkets and best of all the wonderful sea. The location was also very secure . A fantastic time was had and Dawne made us feel welcomed.

I loced my stay in this appartment. Very cost effective. I loved the fact that it was so close to the beach and the services proposed. Mike was always ready to answer when I needed his help.

La Lune was everything we wanted and more! Gorgeous house and perfect location. Jan, Marcia & Kirt made everything perfect for us. Definitely coming back again!

I really enjoyed my stay. The unit is beautiful with a spectacular view of the sea! The hosts were very responsive and made it a wonderful experience!

I stayed a month here and had a good stay. The place is well-equipped for a long stay, including a kitchen with a fridge, kettle, stove, microwave. It also has a washer and dryer. I really liked the dryer since it was something I didn’t have access to with last year’s trip to Barbados, in a different Airbnb. One problem I had last year with the other Airbnb was traffic noise and I had the same problem this year with this one. I’ve seen noise mentioned in other Airbnbs and hotels along the coast, so it might just be the trade off of close beach access. Speaking of beach access, this has close access to Batts Rock Beach. It is about a 3 minute walk in total, across the road and then down a pathway to the beach. I liked this beach. Good for swimming and snorkeling. I saw some turtles there. Buses stop very close, which makes it convenient to explore this side of the island. For example, you can get a bus from right in front that nearly goes all the way to Animal Flower Cave.

Reeds house Condo is a beautiful place to stay. Sam and the helpful staff are above and beyond. The location is stunning when relaxing during the day or when finding local places to eat. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be choosing Sam’s condo for my next Barbados vacation. If you’re surfing, you are within 10-30 minutes to all the major surf locations. When relaxing, you are able to watch perfect sunsets every afternoon.

The villa was perfect for my visit. The bedrooms and bed were very comfortable. Loved having the ceiling fans through out the house. Kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes, glassware and pans if you want to cook. The porch is the star and we loved being out there day and night. The view is worth every penny! We appreciated that we could walk to stores and restaurants. Thank you Claire for such a wonderful stay!!
