Villa holiday rentals in Saint James

Two retired British couples, one new to Barbados and one more used to staying in hotels around the island. We had the most amazing holiday and stay in Jasmine Villa. It is in a wonderful location and is elegantly and luxuriously furnished. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and everything we ever needed was there on hand. We prepared three quarters of our meals in the well-equipped kitchen and the others we took in restaurants on the West and South Coast. Sugar Hill Club was great for the pool and the restaurant, which we appreciated especially on the night we arrived. We also made great use of the Beach Club at the Fairmont Hotel, included with the house. We took taxis to/from the airport and rented a small car, delivered to the property, to explore many of Barbados' attractions and for shopping in nearby Holetown.

Had the most amazing stay. The location of the villa was 10/10. To wake up and hear the waves splashing was wonderful. Would highly recommend and would return. Xxx

My family and I had an amazing time at this house. Beautiful home in a beautiful area. First morning there were green monkeys in the back yard but they disappeared after that day. They were not aggressive and. it was cool for the kids to see them right in the back yard. Laundry facilities are great. Home is as described and so worth the money. Michael was always very responsive and even gave us a bit later check out since our flight was a bit delayed. Pool was fantastic and I would definitely stay there again. The bedrooms all have AC and ceiling fans downstairs but it was still very very hot during the days downstairs. One Ac unit in the tv room would help immensely. Other than that we all loved it. Mullins beach is a 10 minute drive away. Will definitely be back. Thanks Lee and Audrey and Michael for all your help.

What an absolutely beautiful villa ! Honestly it is simply perfection and so tranquil. Everything as described and more besides. If you’re not a keen walker then you will definitely want a car to get to the beach , however we got up early and enjoyed the walk there. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if the villa had a membership of the club and thus the facilities such as the pool, gym,tennis courts, shuttle bus… that said , We will definitely go back . Thanks again Angela

We had a fantastic time at the Sweet Spot villa. Between the easy access to the beach and private pool, there was plenty to keep everyone entertained. The community is beautiful and there was ample space for our family of 11. It was also a huge plus to have bathrooms in each bedroom when getting ready each day. Todne was very helpful in getting our questions answered. Unfortunately, internet is spotty (which caused delays in communicating in general). It would have been helpful to have had some instructions regarding the house earlier (re: how to get ‘hot’ water, work the door locks, registering etc.) but we figured it out eventually. Overall, we had a wonderful time.

Claire's house has an excellent location within a quiet, gated community. Although there is no sidewalk and locals advised against walking along the road after sunset, the house is only a 10-minute stroll from breathtaking beaches. There, you can not only swim in the crystal-clear sea but also enjoy the marine diversity of the coral reef in the area. The house features several amenities that have been well-preserved over the years, such as a spacious kitchen, living room, and bedrooms. Most importantly, its tranquility is undisturbed by neighbors. Thanks to the constant breeze, the interior remains pleasantly cool, though the addition of a few air conditioning units could further enhance comfort during the hottest days. Claire is a responsive and attentive host, promptly addressing minor issues that arose during our stay. I would recommend her home to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat and the vibrant beauty of this magical island.

WOW what a wonderful 2 weeks we have spent in this amazing place. The house is surrounded by lush greenery. We saw families of monkeys and butterflies through the garden daily. Claudia the house keeper looked after us during our stay, she couldn’t do enough for us. Andrew was always available as and when we needed and he’s banana bread is superb. Thank you all for making our stay so special 🙂

Such a beautiful Villa in a great location. Fully equipped with everything you need. Loved everything about this place. It’s a 5 mins walk to the beach and the Fairmont beach passes a real bonus too! Helen was excellent with communication (not that we needed much of it) Five stars from us! Thank you and we will be back.

Just got back from a girls getaway and loved every second of our stay at Imagine Villa! The location is perfect, you’re a quick walk to the beach and La Cabane as well as many other things in the area. The bus stop is right outside the villa (take it, you won’t be disappointed!) there were 8 of us, lots of room for everyone, the rooms were perfect, each room has a bathroom and the pool in the back is good for a little dip. Everyone was so responsive and helpful whenever we needed anything, or had a question or request. I will absolutely go back, the Villa is perfect and you will not be disappointed!

This place is more beautiful than the pictures. Squeaky Clean!

We had the best stay at Mariam’s. The house is beautiful - the photos really don’t do it justice. Mariam went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, and was so quick to communicate. The location was great - close to everything we needed whilst still feeling private and quiet. Sometimes by the pool we could hear the sounds of the neighbourhood, but we were never disturbed. We did enjoy the company of a very friendly cat, who would sometimes visit while we were by the pool. Amanda and Desmond were on hand and were brilliant. One evening the gas bottle of the BBQ ran out during cooking. However Mariam had this rectified by the time we even awoke the next morning. We’ll definitely be back - it’s a beautiful house. Thank you!

Beautiful villa! Spent a few days here to celebrate my girlfriend’s 28th birthday and it was everything we could’ve imagined! The view is amazing, barbados is such a lovely place. Everyone is so kind and helpful. Thank you for helping me put together a personal chef for the birthday girl! The villa was so amazing we didn’t want to leave. Can’t wait to come back!

Annabelle's is an absolutely unique property, and we feel so privileged to have stayed there. Fraser was a wonderful host, so responsive and full of helpful recommendations and suggestions. the very few teething issues were sorted by him during our stay, with the help of Neville, the property manager. Fraser and his team went above and beyond in their efforts to make our stay as stress free as possible, arranging car hire and airport pick ups. The location is stunning. Words are not enough to express the views, the beaches and the sunsets! we have never, and will never again stay anywhere quite as spectacular. It is worth remembering that Anabelle's is a traditional Bajan house. There is no air-con, and the sea is noisy at night. You will be visited by the local bugs, so pack repellent and ear plugs if you are a light sleeper; but when you wake up in the morning and throw open the shutters- it will all be forgotten! Thank you Fraser, for letting us share your slice of Paradise.

Tamarind Villa met all of our expectations. It was clean and kept clean by a housekeeper every couple of days. The house was only a few minutes' drive to Holetown - with great stores and restaurants, and close to the beach. Our family of four enjoyed walking to the clubhouse in the evening for a swim and we had dinner and drinks on several occasions at the restaurant on-site. Not to mention there is a picture-perfect sunset view from the pool deck of the clubhouse. Tamarind Villa and the staff at One Caribbean Estates were exceptional.

Madam Usha she was an absolutely wonderful hostess. She was in contact with us all the time and tried to help us with anything we needed. Her accommodation was absolutely wonderful and in a great and quiet place. If we ever come again we will be happy to use her accommodation again. Thank you for amazing time🙏🙏🤗🤗

Lovely and spacious home. We enjoyed the privacy and peace. Highly recommended.

We arrived late at night due to a 4 hour flight delay but had no problem finding our accommodations and getting in. It's a great house. Each bedroom had it's own bathroom with shower so no waiting ever. The front porch and covering on the side of the house with seating and table was great. There's a nice selection of books and games available. The walk to the beach is literally 5 min or less, glad about that. Overall very quiet and it felt quite secure. Highly recommended.

We loved every moment of our stay at Bairds View Villa. It’s a perfect location on the west coast if you’re looking for a quieter stay, right between Speightstown and Holetown with a bus stop at the end of the road for easy travel. Thunder bay beach at the end of the road is beautiful and has great local food/drinks. We hired a car for half of our stay to help us get around the island and explore but if you’re just looking to go to Bridgetown or along the west coast a car is not a must have as the buses are frequent. Yunus was easy to contact prior to arrival and very responsive. John the villa manager was a wonderful host and so helpful, he had good recommendations prior to check in and offered to do grocery shopping for us at no extra cost which was a lovely gesture. We would recommend Bairds View to everyone and can’t wait to hopefully return one day in the future. Thanks so much for an amazing stay!

Villa was perfect to spend the 9 days in Paradise. Highly recommend

The house is absolutely beautiful & so close to Mullins beach & some fantastic restaurants & bars. The house has everything you need, it is clean, tidy & very spacious! We loved having the house pool & the main pool is great with a bar area & comfy sun beds! Marcia & Peter were both lovely & easy to contact. Great stay!

Loved my stay at Rosie’s place, exactly as described with a few special touches like the gym, and the use of washing machine. Communication was always prompt no matter the time of the day. Would highly recommend and look forward to one day coming again

Richard is a super host, he’s communication was exceptional. The space is to view for, a view of the beach and only 7 minutes drive to Sandy Lane and the shops of Holetown. Book this and treat yourself to peace and tranquility.

Amazing stay and definitely coming back !!! Fabulous location walking distance to massys was a huge plus for us !!! The property is perfect spotlessly clean and the private pool was bliss !!!! Both Richard and his local property manager (Tricia) were fabulous with nothing too much trouble. In summary we loved it and cant wait to come back. Absolute gem of a find.

A really lovely 4 bedroom home with stunning views from upstairs balconies. The housekeeper was also excellent and waited up to meet us on arrival when we were delayed. It’s location is perfect just behind Mullins Beach and also felt very secure. Highly recommended and hope we can return one day.
