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

This is a fantastic little spot in the middle of things in St. James. Check in was easy and despite a few unexpected mishaps during our stay, Dawne was communicative and her responses were timely. We suggested she get a "welcome book" with vital info like the WiFi password and local eateries for newbies vacationing in this area. Just a lovely place and host! We would DEFINITELY book again with Dawne on a return visit.

This is an excellent place to stay on the west coast of the island, exactly as described. The view is outstanding with the beach at your doorstep. The apartment is very nice, comfortable beds, nice living room, fully equipped kitchen. Lots of recent upgrades! Easy access to the bus to get to places along the coast. Lots of nice outdoor spaces, with sofas and a table, all under a shelter. The barbecue is great to have as well and a grocery store just across the street. The beach out front is rocky so would recommend some water shoes. The hosts answered all our questions and helped us get a taxi back to the airport. You should have no hesitation to stay here!

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!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Rose and Crown, Tina was the perfect host, welcoming us with a good few beers in the lovely garden! the accommodation is very spacious & clean, it had everything we needed, it's a few miles from Holetown but buses run right from outside, a short walk takes you to Flatts village beach or black rock beach, also Jordans excellent supermarket, wifi & air con worked perfectly & the hot water was always hot! We wouldn't hesitate to visit the Rose & Crown again, excellent value, many thanks Tina.

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.

Chloe’s place was truly something special. The view couldn’t be better—right on the water! The upstairs features a large opening to the beach that makes you feel like you’re living outdoors. It does get warm during the day, but with the fans and side windows open, you can create a pleasant airflow. The spacious bedroom downstairs was comfortable and includes a cooling system that keeps things cool at night. The mattress could use an update—it’s quite soft and you can feel the springs a bit—but we still slept well. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the utensils you might need if you plan to cook. I would definitely recommend Chloe’s place if you’re looking to enjoy island life away from the main tourist areas, while still being close to attractions and having direct access to the water!

Michelle and Pia's Blue Shells was amazing as always. We have stayed here multiple times and loved it every time. Great snorkeling + amazing views + R&JJ's Jamaican Jerk steps away = AMAZING!!! We look forward to staying here again the next time that we are back on Barbados.

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!

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 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.

This may be the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in! Great location, amazing views, well equipped, and wonderful hosts! Hannah and Russell were extremely communicative and helpful throughout the entire stay. Next time I'm back in Barbados I will be aiming to stay here again!

My family and I just returned from a wonderful week stay visiting family in Barbados. We have stayed at Seagaze before and honestly, you just can’t beat the location! Everything was great and we always always feel at home. We will definitely be back again!

Wow, just wow! Amazing views. Picture postcard views everywhere in this stunning villa. Tina and Philip were the perfect hosts met us on arrival and couldn’t have been more helpful throughout our stay. They helped arrange our groceries and also our car hire. They even dropped off bottles of drinking water when the water in the whole area went off! The Villa is simply stunning and our whole family had an amazing time here with a lovely small cove beach perfect for snorkelling. Just on the Boardwalk - so lovely to walk down along the shore to the restaurants. The Villa was so well equipped with everything you should need for your stay. The only small negatives for our family were the noisy road early mornings (we knew about and can’t avoid beach front) and lack of a smart tv for Netflix/Amazon TV etc. Would highly recommend and we had an amazing time here in Barbados!

The best airbnb I’ve stayed at, felt like a home away from home i will most definitely be back

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.

Saudia is an amazing host that is responsive, helpful, and proactive. This was the easiest check in and check our process that I have ever experienced through Airbnb. Her beautiful property was everything I could have ever imagined and more. Her recs and attention to detail only elevated the trip.

Thank you, Rosanne, for an incredible stay. The condo is even more beautiful in person—spacious, stylish, and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable holiday (and then some!). The location is perfect, making it an ideal base for exploring the island. This is a truly well-thought-out Airbnb, and I have absolutely no regrets choosing it. Thank you again for the delicious rum punch and the thoughtful birthday card—such a lovely personal touch!

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!

Great place to stay, would love to come back! We come to Barbados once a year to visit family. This is by far the nicest place we’ve stayed. The location is amazing. And is the perfect distance to the boardwalk. The pool is great. The Ac was great, and the staff were always responsive and polite. Located within walking distance of a lot of things to do on the south side. Can get a bit noisy from the location but only for a few hours and we slept just fine every time. (And our 6 month old)

Stunning apartment, with ocean views from every room. Amazing layout for 2 couples, with basically 2 suites. Unbeatable st Lawrence gap location and lovely host. Plus a little pool, just as cool as you didn't know you needed! Many thanks for have us. It was wonderful, a dream vacation.

Sandy View was a beautifully furnished and well appointed condo with ample space for 3 couples. The views from the balcony across the beach were stunning. Volney was fantastic and got us some shopping in for our arrival as the supermarkets were closed early on the Sunday. She serviced the condo regularly and promptly address an issue with the hot water. The booking process was easy and Richard was really helpful before we arrived offering advice on transportation and restaurants. The beach was lovely but be sure to go to Heywood’s beach just 10 mins walk from the condo to the right. Two supermarkets close by were great. I would recommend Baia, Local&Co snd Sand Street Bistro as well as the pizzas at Orange Street Grocer. Pier One about a 1 mile walk right from the condo offers lovely sunbeds and a pool free if you eat there. I would highly recommend @Shasacatamarancruises for a private charter to snorkel and swim with turtles with your food and bar included. Really good value.
