Beachfront holiday rentals 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!!

Salty toes is unbelievable!, and it's a must visit! From the cleanliness of the house itself to the sandy beach coming right up to the outdoor seating area, simply amazing! It's one of those places that's quiet and off the main street but it has everything on its doorstep! lovely bars, restaurants, food courts, lovely boardwalks etc it has it all.. the house was spotless, fully stocked with everything you could imagine. Big cooker, big fridge freezer/ washing/ dryer facilities. Salty toes has ample space for families. Two big seating areas inside for eating at, and then the outdoor area just has to be seen! Amazing! All 3 bedrooms were huge, crisp clean linen and all beds with memory foam mattresses! We'll definitely be back to Salty Toes, home away from home. I'd be giving this place 20/10! Top Class Chloe, keep up the good work!

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!

Sarah was fantastisch, de woning aan het strand geweldig. heel centraal van alles. Dit huis is de moeite waard, de host heeft met alles geholpen. vroege check in en late check-out waren voor ons met 2 kinderen nodig en sarah heeft het mogelijk gemaakt. Aanrader!

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.

My family stayed for only three nights at Prospect House and it was more than comfortable for us. A major highlight was Sam who was very quick to respond to any question or concern via text, call, or in person! We felt right at home here and were sad to leave - on our last morning we were graced with a visit from a family of Green Monkeys in the backyard - so cool to have nature so close to the house. We loved the security of locking the front gate up at night and when we left for the day. The location was convenient to get to/from the airport as well as all the great restaurants on the west side. Thank you Prospect House Team for a great 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Clean and safe location. Pictures of the interior and exterior of the apartment are pretty accurate. It is about a 3 to 5 minute walk to the main road and Jordan's supermarket. Host (Bryan) answered all questions in a timely manner. Would recommend.

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.

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.

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.

My recent stay was of fantastic! The property boasts a breathtaking view that left me in awe every morning. The location couldn't have been more convenient, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. The rooms provided the perfect retreat after a day of adventure, only thing is the double bed are pretty small. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail in maintaining the property's cleanliness. What truly made my stay memorable was the hospitality of the host. They went above and beyond to ensure that I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, and their recommendations for local attractions and dining options were spot on. While the beach near the property was rocky, I didn't mind exploring other nearby beaches, which offered pristine sands and crystal-clear waters. Overall, I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with top-notch accommodation

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
