Waterfront holiday rentals in Saint James

A Perfect Beachfront Escape in Barbados! We had the most incredible stay at this stunning two-bedroom apartment right on the beach in Barbados. The location is unbeatable—literally steps from the sand and just next door to the Royal Fairmont Pavilion. It’s also just a short, scenic walk to the iconic Lone Star restaurant, which became a favorite spot for dinner. The apartment itself was beautifully appointed—spotlessly clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. Waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying morning coffee on the balcony with a view of the turquoise sea was absolute bliss. What truly made our stay exceptional, though, were the hosts, Olivia and Simon. From the moment Simon greete us, we felt incredibly welcomed. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, offering local tips and ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout our stay. The nearby beach bar was a great bonus—perfect for sundowners and casual meals with yo

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!

I had such an incredible time staying at Ann’s. Being right on the beach and watching the sunset from the balcony was amazing. The location is perfect - restaurants near by and a quick walk to the Esso where you can get all the necessities. Bus stop right out front to take you anywhere on the island. Don’t need a rental car at all. I can’t wait to book Ann’s place again and again and again!!!

Very enjoyable stay, there are building works in the lot next door but we were advised of this prior to the stay and they were not too bad but early starts and late finishes for sure.

Great property in a village, well equipped kitchen, spacious bedroom and bathroom, bed was very soft but comfortable, perfect little sandy beach which was easy to get in for a cool down or a snorkel. The view is amazing, I could sit there all day looking out. Speightstown is a 5 min drive for bars/restaurants/groceries, there is a small quirky shop and small fish market 50 metres from property. Chloe was great with any questions I had on the property and area. Some information, not really negatives but good to know, upstairs in the property can get hot in the afternoon, we opened the windows and got a breeze blowing through which kept the temperature down, the bedroom downstairs has aircon so no issues with temperature downstairs. This property is in a village, so people are working in the fish market all day, fishing boats come in on the beach occasionally during the day, some buses on the road blow horns, but all part of everyday life so needs to be embraced! I would stay again

We've stayed at Sundown multiple times and it never disappoints. Jason always meets us on time and is quick to respond if we have any questions for him. We like the location as it is only a few minutes drive to Holetown and/or Bridgetown. We always have a wonderful experience staying at Sundown.

Fab place in a great location! Off the main road so away from the traffic and a beautiful sea view. The place was big with a huge lounge area and lovely sundeck which we loved. Unfortunately we didn’t get to go down the steps and use the little beach/ swim due to sargassum that arrived a few days before - it was a shame but that’s nature and can’t be avoided of course. Instead we could easily walk or jump on a ZR to another beach. One thing to bear in mind is that it can be a bit noisy from the nearby bars late at night but with ear plugs it was ok. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely come back! The owners were also accommodating with a late check out which really helped us.

Fantastic house, beautiful west facing views for sunset over the sea, really close to Fish Pot restaurant with beach and pier to swim off. The house itself is even better than the photos, and the rooms are all to a high spec with aircon and lots of space. We liked being at the quieter end of the island, it's very private and quiet. David and Chris were excellent hosts, Chris was very helpful and gave us suggestions for lunch restaurants on the beaches. Would highly recommend and stay again, thank you.

We will go back to this exact location, loved the peaceful setting and private access to the beach.

Pure paradise! I would book this Airbnb again and again. The house had everything you would want. Waking up everyday to the view felt like I was in a movie. We were able to walk to restaurants, and an IMart for food. Taxis and buses were right outside the front door to go an explore the island. We went with 8 people and rented the whole house. The owners were so nice, they met us when we got there gave us a tour and were very responsive if we had questions. Do not hesitate to book this house. Wish we could have stayed longer.

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.

Katie was extremely responsive and kind, her place was so nice and clean, walkable right across the beach. She also had some great local recommendations - down the road we went to pilates almost every morning to a place we would have never found if it weren’t for Katie!! Would definitely love to stay here again

Great apartment and location, steps away from one of my favorite beaches! The 2nd floor balcony is great for relaxing and has a sea view. The only downfall was the wifi which was very spotty. Gloria was great about trying to get this resolved. There is construction going on next door but we were aware of that ahead of time. It is a bit noisy at times during the day but is barely noticeable inside. Definetly didn't affect our vacation!

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.

A wonderful family stay at the elegant 109 apartment. The apartment benefits from privacy in its end of block location and the accessibility of the ground floor directly to the gardens, pool beach and amenities. An exquisitely decorated apartment with great cooking and laundry facilities - also a particularly lovely dining area with plenty of space. We will definitely return to 109. Thanks also to the excellent Marilil and Sara for their assistance and great service delivery throughout our stay from Arlene.

This property was even better than listed. It had everything you ever needed, and the management + staff made it happen. From security to the beach attendants, the service was exemplary. Our chef, Autteen was an absolute legend, Queen of the French toast, our Caribbean Queen! She always had a warm smile and poured lots of love into each day’s meal. Joan kept the place looking immaculate. The location is perfect. Beach is well maintained. Would definitely come back to stay at Smugglers again. Good vibes only!

Great stay at Paraschiva’s condo. Loved the view of the water from the enormous balcony. Beautiful beach with wonderful staff and water sports available next door. Communication could not have been better. The only thing I would note is that although there is an elevator, it stops between floors so you always have to go up or down a half flight of stairs. Definitely not wheelchair accessible.
