Lovely 2 bedroom upstairs Guesthouse
This was our second time staying with Jessica, last time we stayed in her one bed property when we only had the one child. We had such a great experience first time round and now we have two children we wanted to come back and stay with Jessica again, this time in her two bed property. We do not have the words to express how perfect our stay was! The property is a good size, perfectly clean and private with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The property is only a short walk away from multiple beautiful beaches where you'll most likely be the only people there. We love staying this side of the island, it's a good spot for exploring everything Barbados has to offer, it's quiet and in a lovely community. Nearby are several great restaurants and of course Kenny's Grill on Friday and Saturday is not to be missed! Jessica and her family were incredible hosts, always close by if you need anything but we always felt we had our privacy and our own space. 5* Rating All Round!

Antrobus Cottage
I found the host very friendly and accommodating. The guest house was lovely - spacious, well-equipped, and truly felt like a home away from home. The location is great, with the beach just a pleasant 10–15 minute walk away. The lively roosters add a bit of character to the setting! We hope to return soon! :)

Dalfsen by the Sea
Thank you for taking care of our work crew for a month! Awesome place, very well organized

Breezy LR GND Floor Apt Higher Heights, Barbados
Dear Natalie I wanted to take a moment to sincerely apologize for my former travel companion’s behavior during our stay. I was deeply upset to learn about the way he treated you and the situation he created when he abruptly left. His actions and demeanor were disrespectful and completely uncalled for. Please know that I do not share his behavior or attitude. I truly appreciated your kindness, hospitality, and the effort you put into making your accommodations so clean and comfortable. You created a welcoming environment, and I’m genuinely sorry that my association with him caused you any distress. You are lovely people, and I regret that his actions impacted your experience as hosts. I hope you can see this as an isolated incident and not a reflection of the kind of guest I strive to be. Thank you again for your patience and understanding. I hope one day I can return under better circumstances and show my appreciation Jeremiah 29:11 Thank you Dennis

Surfers paradise in Cotton Bay Close
I highly recommend this property. We loved our holiday at Kaye’s and would definitely return. I’ve stayed at various locations on the island and this is definitely the best. It’s a spacious comfortable home from home, in a peaceful neighbourhood. The manager Allison was friendly and helpful, and she responded promptly when there was a minor problem (our fault!). The house was well provisioned, with good details like lots of spare towels, kit for the beach, plentiful crockery and utensils. There’s a lovely comfortable shaded outdoor seating area. The neighbourhood is quiet (just nocturnal cockerels and some barking dogs), the locals are friendly, and we were only 15 mins easy walk from the excellent Miami Beach, which has lots of shade, a calmer bay at the far end, and 2 kiosks selling drinks and lunch. Another 5-10 mins walk takes you to Oistins, with its fish fry, supermarket and the bus service.

Spacious 3BDR home next to Brighton Beach
Richard(Nicholas) and Kathryn were great hosts. Very responsive to our communications. If you are looking for a traditional bajan experience, this could be for you. We were a party of 3 and stayed for 4 nights. This was our first time in Barbados. The property is in a quiet cul de sac, which felt very safe. It is a few minutes walk to the beach - Brandon’s and Brighton. Brandon’s beach has a beach bar and sun loungers. Slightly further up the beach towards Brighton beach you have the Stades rum distillery and bar right on the beach. Both are well worth a visit. We took a 15 minute taxi ride up to Holetown. This was a very different experience. We also walked to see Rihanna drive and Kensington oval. It was a long walk in the heat and many roads don’t have pavements, but definitely doable. There are loads of taxis available but a bit pricey. If you are staying longer you may want to hire a car.

1 min walk to Beaches/Spacious Home/Sleeps 6
We spent 5 days at Curtis’ home, and we loved every moment of our time on the island. The location is quietly set amongst the friendly locals, it was safe and quiet. A very short distance from the supermarket, local beach, and bus stop. The home is newly renovated, comfortable and clean. We had everything needed for a lovely family trip. Curtis was very friendly and helpful from check in to check out. We would both recommend his place and rent again in the future. Thanks for your hospitality!

New, Modern Condo in Harmony Hall Green Gated Comm
Leslie Ann's place is amazing and she is an incredible host! Her home is very clean and she has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is fully stocked with equipment if you would like to cook (if you don't like to cook on vacation, there are a ton of restaurants just down the street) She even left welcome snacks for us, which I thought was sweet and thoughtful of her. The decor is beautiful it looks just like the pictures. The beds are comfortable. The AC works perfect and same for the water. The view from the balcony is pretty and serene, it's very relaxing to enjoy coffee on in the mornings. Check in was super easy and it was easy to find the place. It took us just 15 minutes from the airport. I loved the location, it's in the heart of a bustling town with many restaurants, and beaches all within a 5 mins walk. There is also parking available. This place is a home away from home. I loved it! Thank you Leslie Ann!
Your guide to Barbados
Welcome to Barbados
Silky white sand, turquoise waters, lush rainforest, world-class architecture, and mouthwatering cuisine — what about Barbados doesn’t sound like heaven? At only 21 miles long and 14 miles wide, this Caribbean island packs paradise into one easy package, from the legendary beaches of its Platinum Coast to the wild beauty of its west. Barbados’ warm waters are home to all manner of marine life, making it a delight for snorkelling, diving, and watersports, while its parks and gardens bloom with exotic plants.
Traditional villages and former colonial towns house more historic buildings than any other Caribbean island, and a small collection of top-notch museums explore the island’s complex heritage. Experience Bajan culture in the island’s arts and crafts and culinary scene, as well as its legendary rum — or embrace Barbados’ spirit of adventure in any number of heart-pumping activities, from skydiving to bungee jumping.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Barbados
January to May is the dry season in Barbados, when temperatures are at their most pleasant and long days of sunshine are all but guaranteed, making it a popular time to book one of the area’s villas. It’s also when the island’s gardens are at their best. In January, the Barbados Horticultural Society hosts its annual flower show, and many private gardens are opened up to the public. February is a great time to be in Holetown, which celebrates its history with musical performances and parades. The wet season runs June to November, with muggy weather and sudden afternoon downpours. But it’s also the time of year with the best festivals, focused on crafts (National Independence Festival of Creative Arts, November), food and rum (October), or the two-month epic of Crop Over, which climaxes in August with the street carnival of Kadooment Day.
Top things to do in Barbados
Speightstown
This 400-year-old port on the northwest coast offers a multilayered slice of island life and history. From modest traditional dwellings to boulevards of balconied Georgian splendour, the town’s charming wooden buildings are complemented by a bustling vibe, with a local food scene that includes fruit vendors, street markets, and destination restaurants.
The Cattlewash
This sweep of the eastern shoreline extends between the 50-acre Barclays Park and the fishing village of Bathsheba, with its much-loved surf spot, the Soup Bowl. It’s the longest uninterrupted swathe of beach on the island, named for the days when farmers used to clean their livestock in the waves. The dramatic limestone cliffs that overlook it make it a distinctly scenic sunbathing spot.
Kensington Oval
For more than 120 years the game of cricket has been part of the lifeblood of Barbados, and the international ground in Bridgetown, the oldest in the Caribbean, has borne witness to some of its greatest matches. The game is played year round. Even if there’s no match when you visit, the Oval is usually open for tours.
