Waterfront holiday rentals in Saint Philip

Absolutely stunning stay at The View! The ocean is literally at your doorstep — we fell asleep to the sound of waves and woke up to breathtaking sunrises. The space is spotless, stylish, and super comfortable. Silver Sands is peaceful and picturesque, and the host made everything effortless. If you're looking for a serene, beachfront escape in Barbados, this is it. Our host was warm, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed to feel right at home. From local tips to thoughtful touches throughout the property, the hospitality was top-notch. If you’re looking for a magical, oceanfront escape in Barbados, The View is it. We left feeling completely refreshed, already dreaming about our next visit. We didn’t want to leave! 🌅🌊🌴 5 stars!

It was exactly what I needed. Beautiful set up and location love the levels. Very spacious. Amazing beach setting Sound of waves all day Very local. Everything in walking distance or a cheap z van. Thank you for everything

Great location near the Gap, very spacious apartment, great pool, incredibly flexible and friendly local host (Orissa) (the flexibility was much appreciated as we had four 2 and under!) - an overall great stay!

We had a great stay and the apartment is huge and immaculate. The sea was lovely. Our little girls loved the kayak and Netflix! Very much a home away from home, with everything catered for. Plenty of bin bags, toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets - all the small things that are often forgotten. We would recommend it. Our only issue was the noise from the Gap. If you are a party animal, this wouldn’t be a problem but we found the music, which is very loud when you’re on the balcony, and the noise from the main road, when you’re in the bedroom on that side of the building, really noisy. If you’re there to party though, this wouldn’t be an issue. We thought the location was great for exploring. We hired a car and went to Carlisle Beach, Bathsheba, Folkestone Beach and Oistins. Everywhere is drivable.

Great host, very friendly and responsive. Wonderful location just steps from the beach! Includes all the amenities you need. Only minor downside is the noise from nearby vehicle and air traffic. Overall, highly recommended!

I checked a couple of times over the last couple of months after booking our flights to Barbados for a place, and the Sapphire Condos kept popping up, and Vijay's place was available. I am happy we decided to book his place. It was for my family of 4, which has two small children. We shopped at local markets and cooked most of our food, but there is a good coffee shop a short distance away. Also, plenty of restaurants. The air conditioners work great, the beds are nice, and the pool access is right outside the lower-level door. The beach is very kid-friendly and easy to go from the pool to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and want to come back to Barbados. There are a couple of small books in the house about Barbados and what to do and sites to see, take a look at those. All the research we did before coming didn't have all the information that these two books had.

There are no words to describe the beauty of this place. The hosts, Nancy and her brother Danny, are extremely kind and helpful. The place, well, is just perfect. (way better than the pictures) Oh, and you gonna love the 2 dogs ... 🥰 I strongly recommend Nancy's place for any travellers, and personally I look forward to book it again. Thank you!

Amazing, peaceful home beautifully set out and tranquil beyond relief. Very thoughtfully put together and gracious hosts.

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.

I would highly recommend this location. Being on the beach and hearing the ocean was amazing. The beach doesn't get a lot of traffic, so it felt very private. We would stay here again. Katherine was also a great host.

Surfview is a pleasant, small community made up of 7 one story apartments plus a very clean swimming pool. Most of the people staying there are long time owners who are open to socializing which occurs mostly around the pool since there isn’t a beach directly in front of the establishment at this time. The community is located right on the ocean where you can visit the coral rock point and then adventure further to the kilometer long, undeveloped Long Beach. Ian, who is the local caretaker of the grounds and pool is friendly with everyone and has a beautiful singing voice and Cecelia who cleans apartment Apt #9 is also a treasure. Both have worked at Surfpoint for over 30 years. The owner of #9 is very supportive and responsive to all your needs.

We had an amazing stay! The location of the place is extremely quiet and calming the perfect getaway. The ocean view was definitely my favorite part; waking up to it every morning was a dream. We had a small hiccup at the beginning of our stay, but the host handled it with excellent communication and kindness, even though the issue wasn’t their fault. You're about 10–20 minutes away from most things, which made it easy to explore while still enjoying peace and privacy. Overall, it was an incredible experience and we can’t wait to book again!

I just love everything about this house . You feel like you are living in the heart of Barbados . Milena and Mark are the best hosts. So attentive and friendly ❤️

Karen's place was perfect for our family of four for a week in March. We were greeted upon arrival for check in, and appreciated the warm welcome. The home was larger than we anticipated. The amenities helped us feel comfortable, and we had everything we needed after a quick stop at the local market nearby. The view on the back deck was lovely in the morning watching turtles swimming all around; during the afternoons filled with surfers; and at dusk for beautiful sunsets each evening. The pool was delightful and we enjoyed it for many hours. The location was perfect for walking to Surfers Cafe, Oistins and other local eateries; morning walks along the southern part of the island; and exploring small beaches nearby. Friday night at Oistins Fish Fry was a highlight, and only a 15 minute walk from Karen's. We would highly recommend Halcyon on Freights Bay if you are visiting Barbados.

We loved our stay at this grand old home. It’s a vintage beach property with more space than our group of 8 needed. Along with the amenities listed, there is also 2 outdoor showers and changing rooms and a bathroom. We opened all of the downstairs windows and doors and had a wonderful breeze that kept the house comfortable. We felt very safe at the property and enjoyed walking to nearby restaurants and bars. We had a few issues but Melissa resolved them quickly. The home is not updated but we loved the vintage charm more than a modern property.

The location of Celia’s place is ideal is you want to be by the coast, it’s stunning and the hose itself has a vintage style and charm which I loved. You are basically in Surfers point which is more rural, lush, and peaceful with easy access to Oistins (10 mins) and Bridgetown (15/20) on the Z bus or car. I wanted to surf so this was perfect, Zeds Surf school, is right next door for private 1-1 lessons. The coastal breezes in this location are constant and very welcome as Celia’s place does not have air conditioning, which we struggled with during the nights. The area does lack grocery stores or coffee places, Buff’s is there for some basics but it’s limited. oistins has all you need, supermarket and fresh fish at really good prices. Unfortunately the basics such as milk, cheese, eggs, coffee are very expensive. I paid 3 x as much for milk! Barbados is very expensive day to day, more so than I had expected, I’d be better prepared now if I return. We had a magical time there 🇧🇧❤️

We spent 11 great vacation days at the blue waters condo. We felt at home from the very first moment! It has enough space, is clean, well equipped, cozy garden, quietly located.... The location is also excellent, a short walk to our favorite beach, Oistins is also within walking distance. And the communication with Alicia worked great! We will definitely be back and are already looking forward to it. Many thanks Monika and Ruth

We had an incredible experience at the Sapphire Beach Condo in Barbados! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a lovely welcome basket with a bottle of rum punch and local snacks. We were also greeted by a beautiful ocean view. The condo had everything we could possibly need. It was stocked better than most homes! There were so many thoughtful touches, like a fully stocked laundry room, good quality hair dryer, Bluetooth speaker and Alexa. We rented a car from across the street which was very convenience but if you need a taxis we recommend Anderson who is across from the property. We used him to go to the airport. My son realized he left his expensive camera in the car rental. We called Anderson and he retrieved the camera for us. That kind of kindness and reliability is rare. We were beyond grateful. All in all, this was a great vacation rental. The attention to detail, hospitality, and thoughtful extras made our trip unforgetable. We highly recommend Sapphire Beach Condo.

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

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!

We had a lovely and relaxing stay at Maxwell Beach Villas! Yonette was an excellent host- always prompt in answering our questions. We were welcomed with rum punch and fresh rum cake! The pictures accurately describe the layout of condo and it was extremely clean and neat upon arrival . The view of the ocean and pool really blew us away, we never got tired of sitting on the terrace and enjoying the ocean view. It is important, though, to mention that the beach directly in front of the property is much smaller than shown in the pictures. I do wish the photos were more accurate to the current state of the beach. There is a large amount of seaweed there as well. For this reason we didn’t use the beach directly on the property but luckily it’s a short drive to many gorgeous beaches which we enjoyed throughout the week. The condo is also situated near many restaurants and stores. Our children loved the pool on the property and swam every day. Overall this was a very relaxing vacation!

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.

Lovely spot, clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view from the shady covered deck, and a sunny plunge pool. Easy walk to restaurants at the Gap, and easy to hop on a ZR bus to Bridgetown right out front
