Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Dover Beach

Our stay at Dora’s Cottage was absolutely delightful — peaceful, comfortable, and filled with the warm charm of Barbados. The cottage is nestled in a quiet, safe neighborhood, making it the perfect retreat to relax and recharge, while still being conveniently close to beaches, shops, and restaurants. The space was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully prepared with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to soft linens. We especially enjoyed the outdoor area — ideal for morning coffee and unwinding after a day of exploring the island. Corey was a fantastic host — welcoming, responsive, and full of great local recommendations. His hospitality truly made the experience feel personal and memorable. If you’re looking for a serene and authentic stay in Barbados, Dora’s Cottage is a beautiful choice. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already looking forward to coming back. — Descilla & Family

10000/10, I don’t think enough words can even describe how Hazel and Tim made my sisters and I feel during our stay. From the welcome basket to the daily check ins to the cater birthday dinner, they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional and we appreciated that very much. The location of the house made it easy for us to navigate around the island without too much worries, prime location to several beaches, activities, and restaurants.

Our hosts picked us up from the airport and we were immediately charmed by their warmth which made us feel like family. They even took us shopping for any necessities that we might need. Once we arrived at the home, we fell in love with the place. Not only was the décor lovely, but being a bit of a clean freak... I was very happy to find the home so incredibly clean. Amenities were perfect.. with the hosts thinking of just about everything we would need for our stay. The location was perfect for us, since we rented a car. Driving was a bit of a challenge though..at first.. lol. Beds were super comfortable.. and both room had its own washroom.. which was ideal for us. I cannot say enough of how lovely these hosts were to us. Took us back to the airport for our departure and made sure us and all our luggage were checked in safely. Stayed for 10 days and highly recommend this home and hosts. The only note is that you will need a car to get around.. but hosts have recommendations.

Wonderful house in a local, friendly neighborhood only 10 minutes by bus to the busy tourist hub. The welcome basket was amazing - the personal touch that makes a house a home! The house is roomy and well appointed with AC in the bedrooms and living room. Excellent water pressure for showers, and the outdoor pool was appreciated for cooling off. The small touches and attention to comfort was evident throughout the home. Very comfie beds! Shirrell was immediately responsive any time we needed to reach out, including our sudden early departure back to Canada. We felt supported throughout our stay, knowing our host would assist as/if needed. We used the space a lot, particularly for working while there and the house functions quite well for this. The only drawback and completely outside the host's control are the six dogs next door that do not stop barking, whining, and scrapping for many many hours each day and well into the evening. Thanks again for being amazing Shirrell!!

Paula was so sweet her air bnb was adorable and comfy! I loved the furniture inside it was unique! Paula was so sweet I felt right at home she was amazing at getting back with you! One night I had locked myself out 🙈 and she came within 10 minutes to let me back in! The location was perfect it is located just behind Oistins! Her dog Skittles is adorable and super friendly! Overall I had an incredible stay and what made it the best part was Paula! A perfect budget friendly option!

Eyre's place was surprisingly the most coziest air bnb I've ever stayed in. I literally felt right at home. Home was well stocked with everything I needed. Very peaceful apart from the cocks crowing but they too were not early risers lol. There is a bar right on top of gap where you can relax, listen to music and chill with occasional meals. Ordel, our taxi guy was always ready and available to take us shopping or anywhere we asked to go. I can't say enough about him. He went above and beyond in my eyes. My stay was damn near perfect. The ONLY complaint I have is to tell Erye whoever is responsible for upkeep of the house and cleaning needs to be replaced lol. They are definitely not thorough. Just a few spot checks I would be happy to mention to him personally but it didn't and won't deter me from coming back to Sweet Myrtle. I wish I stayed longer. Thank you Eyre and Ordel for a memorable stay🙂. And yes, I felt comfortable and safe there, no problems.

Lovely stay at Ginne’s place. Beautiful ocean views from the patio, made drinking our morning coffee enjoyable. Close distance to the beach. Easy to drive to other destinations around the island from the location. Ginne was responsive whenever we reached out and the place was spotless. We felt safe and comfortable. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Matthew and Eric were phenomenal hosts, super helpful, very responsive, and incredibly accommodating. I really appreciated how open and willing they were to meet our requests. That meant a lot! The place itself was lovely and located in a prime area, close to beaches, and restaurants, and with plenty of transportation options nearby. It felt like getting the best of everything at a great price. I would definitely recommend staying here!

This is the ideal spot to stay when visiting barbados, especially if you’re going to the us embassy which is about 10 minutes walk away. The man road into bridgetown is right there. Shopping malls and restaurants are 5 minutes walk away. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone.

We had a great stay at Debbie’s place, the apartment was clean and accurately matched the listing. Debbie and the other property managers were responsive and made our stay as easy as possible. It’s perfectly located for the Gap and Dover beach, it’s also a 1 minute walk to the bus stop, making it super easy to get around the island. The only feedback we would give is we found the instructions a little confusing in accessing the property and we didn’t know where the elevator was. However, it could easily be us not understanding properly. We would definitely stay here again though and already can’t wait to return to beautiful Barbados 🇧🇧😊!

Very pleased with my stay. Fiona has been very responsive and accommodating of any issues that I have encountered and made sure that my stay was comfortable. The place that I stayed in was in a lovely, quiet and safe place. You won't go wrong on this one.

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.

My third time with Louisa and Russell and it’s always a guaranteed great stay. They are extremely pleasant, very accommodating and will go above and beyond to ensure you don’t need anything whatsoever. The apartment was clean, smelt wonderful upon entry and I felt very safe. It’s very central to restaurants and about 10 min drive to the airport, beaches and town. Russel’s mom was very sweet and even though they are nearby they give you privacy. The WiFi is extremely reliable and fast, bed is very comfy, and I had more than enough starter essentials, cleaning supplies, snacks, juice and water, that helped me throughout my 10 day stay. Love how the space is decorated-it’s functional with no clutter. If I could give them a 100/10 rating I would. Take it from someone who has stayed in various properties all over including Bim-please don’t second guess just book with them! You won’t regret it.

Beautiful clean condo with a fully loaded kitchen. It’s one of those places where you can use something and then leave something behind. I love places like that. All amenities worked and the next guests should have a new coffee pot. I really enjoyed the softer touches, candles outside (yes, I left one), lots of towels and random house hold everyday items that you need in an Airbnb. I recommend renting a car to get around.

Shirnel and Peter were friendly and supportive Airbnb hosts. They were responsive before and during our stay. The Airbnb was clean and peaceful. I'd love to come back again.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay here. Allure 404 looked exactly as pictured. We loved sitting on the large balcony and watching and listening to the waves each day. The property includes access to beach chairs and umbrellas and the beach is on the quieter side which we preferred. The staff of the building were kind and excellent. The common areas were immaculate throughout our stay. The correspondence with Leon and Diana was top tier. The host provided lots of great food recommendations and we appreciated the starter pack of local treats when we arrived. Food seasonings, hair dryer, mosquito repellent, laundry detergent and so many other items that were provided really made this an excellent accommodation. We rented a car and were able to get around to most places on the island within 10-30 minutes. We’ve stayed in many different villas and rentals and we agreed this is one of our favorites. We would definitely come back.

We absolutely loved our stay. This is our second time staying at the home. The pictures you see is exactly what you get. The private rooftop patio is large with view of the ocean. We enjoyed having coffee and breakfast there. Also a perfect way to watch the sunset. The location is perfect, walking distance to enterprise beach, supermarket, lots of places to eat and Oisten. Simone was very responsive and attended to any questions we had. We are returning next year to Barbados and will be staying here again.

We spent 4 nights here and really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect if you don’t mind 10-20 min walks there is so much to do between oistins and the st Lawrence gap! Also very close to the bus stops. The owners on site are very pleasant and helpful. Would absolutely stay here again.

From our first enquiry to check-out, our experience with Preetam and this property was exceptional. We were traveling from Ireland with our 3-year-old and 5-month-old and were a bit nervous, but everything we needed—travel cot, highchair, baby bath, even kids' plates—was ready for us. Though there were no reviews when we booked, we were quickly reassured—the apartment was even better than the photos. Thoughtfully decorated and fully stocked, it’s clear a lot of care went into every detail. We’ve traveled a lot, and this was by far our best accommodation experience. Having the sea right outside was a real treat, and the beach was quiet and peaceful. One note: we’d have been lost without a car, as most restaurants and amenities are around 30 minutes away, there is not a lot in the immediate location. Definitely ask Preetam for restaurant/ disk recommendations! You are in for a treat! It really was the most beautiful place to stay, thank you.

Thank you Mary for allow me to celebrate my birthday. at one love , the location The view was everything i highly recommend one love .

I came for a wedding with my daughter, I'm not big on looks, it was clean and peaceful. Had a big open space for my daughter to run around outside. I felt safe and my daughter really liked it. Rory was helpful met me at the front door and explained everything about the place, he also gave me a tour around the neighborhood. It was my first time in Barbados and I will definitely be coming back to rebook with him

This was our first time in Barbados and this property made for a great trip. We would definitely stay there again. Great location right in the middle of all the St Lawrence Gap action and restaurants, but still felt secluded and private when on property. We were greeted at the location when we arrived and given a thorough walk through of the property as well as local recommendations. If you are looking for a place to stay on the south coast look no further!

Johns place was in very comfortable with fans in the living space and bedroom. It is in a great location for Worthing food court, St Lawrence Gap, Oistins and Bridgetown. Only 25 minutes from the airport. I would recommend staying here.

That’s great to hear that Allan was so responsive! Here’s an updated version of your review that includes that I had an absolutely fantastic experience staying at this apartment! The space was clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect. But what truly made this stay special was the host, Paul and Allan, so warm, welcoming, and attentive! When the coffee maker wasn’t working, he replaced it the same day, showing just how committed he is to making guests feel comfortable. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a great place with a thoughtful and caring host. Five stars all the way!
