Family-friendly holiday rentals in Barbados

We have stayed at "Windswept" twice prior to this visit. Mandy has always been a very good communicator regarding our bookings. The villa is spacious with a beautiful private garden with a plunge-pool. All the bedrooms have airconditioning which is an essential as the nights in Barbados are very warm. It's a small thing but there was a decent supply of hangers in every wardrobe! Sugar Hill is a short drive from Holetown with its shops and restaurants. Once again we had a fantastic holiday and would certainly want to stay here again if we return to Barbados.

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!!!

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.

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!

We had a wonderful months stay in Elizabeth's cottage. We felt at home as soon as we stepped inside. The kitchen was very well equipped. Super comfy beds and lovely bed linen and plenty of towels. It was extremely clean and we loved the outside space. The locals were so friendly and we always felt safe. Elizabeth's Dad, Tommy was near if needed and Heather did a wonderful job cleaning each week. Had some great chats ! Missing the sunshine and having breakfast on the veranda. You can see the sea from the cottage and be swimming in 5 minutes! There is a great fish market at the end of the road where the fish is so fresh. We visited last year and stayed in a hotel but staying in a cottage for us was so much more enjoyable. We did hire a car as we wanted to explore the island but it's not a necessity. Thank you, Elizabeth, would love to return in the future.

My stay was very comfortable, with all the comforts of home. I loved the location and the bus was just a few feet away.. I look forward to my return. The hosts were very accommodating. I truly enjoyed my stay. Thanks for having me

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).

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.

Hanifa was great with communication and the property was well stocked with toilet rolls, waste bags, hairdryer, iron, and cleaning products.. Had fresh bedding provided after a week. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again. Felt very safe there as a female staying on my own

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!

Loved our stay. The place is large and airy with ceiling fans and addition fans in each bedroom. Pool was such a bonus too. Excellent communication and instructions. Will definitely return.

Westayed in Susie’s place for 10 fabulous. As a couple with two young children we’re very picky about accommodation and can reassure anyone considering a stay in coco house, it’s utterly fantastic. Once you arrive you quickly realise this is not a cheaply renovated Airbnb property, this is a beautiful, clean, well maintained family holiday home. The house is located in a gated community with security at the entrance 24hrs, large communal pools, bar / restaurant on site (very good). The house has every piece of cooking equipment, pool toys, board games etc you could ever want. Cleaner came and did a deep clean midweek which was great. The views are stunning and layout of the house wonderful. Cold aircon. Plunge pool in the garden. Mango tree our sons enjoyed most mornings for breakfast. Comfortable beds. Susie and her house keeper Marcia keep in good communication and nothing is too much trouble. Pick susies place for your stay, you won’t be disappointed. We’ll be back for sure!

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.

What a shocking Barbados experience, in the very best sense! Jan’s property is owned and operated by genuine hospitality professionals and it shows! My arrival was overseen with unexpected service and a welcome stock of many food basics to settle me in with relief and joy (including items that are nearly impossible to find on store shelves lately). Immaculate with cleaning services every few days. Maintenance is a top priority, evident in the functionality of appliances and plumbing fixtures, which can suffer in the tropics. The pool and patio area also perfectly maintained, functional and stocked. Jan’s “right hand,” Sandra, is godsent…. Warm, incredibly hard working, friendly, available and extraordinarily skilled. I understand why Jan has loyal return guests! I hope to be fortunate enough to join their ranks.

I am so glad that we chose to stay here! Everything pictured online is exactly what you see in person. The home was very welcoming, comfortable, and was in a peaceful location. The pool was great! The host Lorraine was available to answer all my questions and concerns at all times and Jan the property manager was a pleasure to deal with and available as well when we had any questions or concerns. We will definitely be going back to Barbados in the future and would for sure book with Lorraine again. Thank you so much!

Absolutely loved staying in this very well appointed house. It had everything we could possibly need & was in walking distance of all the lovely restaurants in Holetown & the beach.

My group had a great time , Melissa was very responsive to any questions we had. We had a very relaxing and peaceful stay and highly recommended her home .
