Waterfront vacation rentals in Dover Beach

Beautiful place in a gorgeous location! The host is responsive and welcoming, and provides very helpful information on the location and complex that’s readily available inside the unit. The place is extremely clean with all the things that one might need during your stay, including dishes, towels, pots/pans, etc.; all of these things are a good quality and a great condition. I highly recommend this place and Lisa as a host!

Lovely 2 bedroom/2 bath unit within the Glitter Bay property. The unit is under new ownership since we stayed there in March 2019 and its been completely and very well renovated since our last visit. White floors and comfy white living room and patio furniture, well equipped kitchen, nice bathrooms, good washer and dryer — everything felt and looked clean and well maintained. Only downside is that there is only one tv in the unit, in the living room; with older children traveling with us, it would have been nice if the bedrooms had televisions and the one in the living room had been a bit bigger. The unit has a nice view of the property and a peak of the ocean from the wonderful enormous covered terrace. There was housekeeping everyday but Sundays and they did an excellent job. For those who haven’t stayed at Glitter Bay before, the property is on one end of a lovely 1/2 mile white crescent beach with relatively calm waters — think snorkeling vs. boogie boarding. Lots of water activities (jet skis, sailing, kayaking) are easily available or can be arranged at the Fairmont. A small bar/restaurant is on site during the day and there is a beach attendant who provides beach/pool towels and, with your input, assigns you lounge chairs for your stay so there is no need to run down to the beach early in the day to put your stuff on beach chairs to “reserve” them; there are also plenty of umbrellas at the beach to provide shade during the heat to the day. For those who like swimming pools, there is a good sized pool for laps and kids to play in as well as a nice kiddie pool. Next door is the very high end Fairmont Royal Pavilion. While not cheap, they have a good restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner which overlooks the ocean. Farther down the beach is the Lonestar Hotel and Restaurant. It also serves a lovely breakfast, lunch and dinner by the beach but is a bit fancier than the restaurant at the Fairmont and quite pricy. It is easy to walk about a mile or take the public bus/drive/taxi into Holetown. There is a very well stocked Massey’s Supermarket, for those who need supplies and/or want to cook while staying at Glitter Bay, as well as a liquor store. Limegrove shopping center has a number of upscale show and restaurants. Good restaurants in Holetown include Nishi, The Mews, and Fusion Rooftop, with Paul Owen’s Beach House just outside of town. The area around Glitter Bay is relatively low density and low key compared to the areas closer to Bridgetown or Oistens. We really love it and hope to go back to Barbados and stay at Glitter Bay #207 again next year.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone considering a visit to Barbados to book here. Gregory gave us clear instructions was a great communicator. A very short walk through the gate in the backyard and you are on pristine Carlisle Bay. There were beach chairs & an umbrella reserved each day for our use. We are confident swimmers and each day we snorkeled out to the 2 closest shipwrecks and swam with fish, turtles & stingrays. No need to pay the $$ local tours we’re charging. Nolan is the “beach guy” and he has masks, snorkels, fins, vests, flotation devices etc if needed. Gregory has lived in Barbados for many years and sent us useful links to many restaurants as well as trusted taxi drivers. At sunset we could have a chat & drink with Gregory in the gazebo which is perfectly positioned. The property also had a fire stick with channels from all over the world easily accessible.

Sapphire Beach Resort was amazing. It a much needed vacation for me and my friends. The locations is close to St Lawrence Gap. It was our first time in Barbados. This place felt like home for us for five nights. It was amazing waking up to the sounds of the waves every morning. Dover Beach was scenic and serene. Highly recommend this condo especially if you're traveling with a big group. We had five people that stayed on this property and everyone had a bed and ample space. St Lawrence Gap is a quick 10 minute walk to the bars, restaurants. There's a small market nearby as well for all your necessities. We got lucky since this place is normally booked months in advance. Book it!!

We loved this tastefully decorated and restful Villa and have already booked it for next year. Chanel and her team were so helpful, proactive and caring. She even came to our rescue when our flight was cancelled and we needed to extend the stay. Pool was lovely and quiet and the people we met around Schooner Bay were very friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

My family of four had a wonderful stay at Todd & Barbara’s place. It was so peaceful. We felt very safe in the area. They also have a car you can rent which I recommend if you want to explore the island. There are plenty of food options that are close and a beautiful beach perfect for swimming just a few minutes walk down the road. Barbara arranged a taxi for us to the airport day of departure. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay - Debbie was really quick to respond and was very kind offering flexible check in / check out. The house had everything we needed and more and the setting is just incredible. We would 100% recommend!

The condo is in a fabulous location right on the beach and close to numerous food choices including two grocery stores. Charmaine was very nice and super responsive to any questions that came up. We had a fabulous stay and loved the island of Barbados!

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.

Turtle Reef has been my lengthy stay in Barbados for many years. We refer to it as our home from home. The decor is totally my taste and is totally conducive to why it suits myself and my special needs daughter. John and Shirley are the perfect hosts.

Fab place in a great location! Off the main road so away from the traffic and a beautiful sea view. The place was big with a huge lounge area and lovely sundeck which we loved. Unfortunately we didn’t get to go down the steps and use the little beach/ swim due to sargassum that arrived a few days before - it was a shame but that’s nature and can’t be avoided of course. Instead we could easily walk or jump on a ZR to another beach. One thing to bear in mind is that it can be a bit noisy from the nearby bars late at night but with ear plugs it was ok. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely come back! The owners were also accommodating with a late check out which really helped us.

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 will go back to this exact location, loved the peaceful setting and private access to the beach.

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.

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!

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!

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

101 Palm Beach was a nice surprise. The condo matched the description on Airbnb and we couldn't have been any more pleased with our decision to book it. Realtors Limited was very responsive and contacted us shortly after we arrived to make sure everything was OK. They also provided a nice concierge service and connected us to a reliable and polite taxi driver. He was able to take us everywhere we wanted to go. I am very familiar with this area in the Barbados we were glad to call it home for 2 weeks. We will definitely try to book through Realtors Limited for next year.

Lovely accommodation in a great location for St Lawrence Gap. Becky was brilliant with information and communication. Would definitely recommend and look to book again in the future!

We can’t recommend Rosanne and Doug’s place enough! We traveled with our two kids and we already want to come back. The condo was absolutely beautiful and more than we could have asked for. The location was wonderful, and was easily walkable or a short drive to many local restaurants and beaches. The condo itself was very clean and had everything (and more) that you’d need for your stay. Rosanne went above and beyond prior to our arrival by providing helpful suggestions, answering questions, providing baby gear, and even looking at the grocery store ahead of time to help us get a better understanding of the ingredients in certain items to help accommodate my son’s dietary restrictions. She even provided us with local fresh juice and some snacks which we all loved. We had the chance to meet Rosanne and Doug, and can’t say enough about their kindness. If you’re considering booking their space, do it! You will love it!

This condo is amazing, with a 5 star responsive and helpful host, in a safe area with many restaurants in walking distance. Also, gym was small, but had new equipment. Thank you Peter!

We loved our stay. Janet is a super host and always responds to messages. The apartment is much nicer and bigger than the photos show. Although the pool area isn’t that big, the beach and view and stunning. We would highly recommend the apartment and it’s nice and secure.

Location location location! A very large, two level condo in the center of Speightstown. Beautiful view of the ocean from the large balcony and of the nesting mourning doves in the very tall coconut tree! Steps to Orange Street Grocer (cash only!!) Local and Co and Baia. We tried all three and were very impressed. Local and Co is in a very cool 17th century, restored building with a wall of coral stone. Stunning renovation. Two minute walk to Jordan's Market and 10-15 minutes by bus/car/taxi to Clifton Market at Lime Grove and Masseys for groceries. Two minute walk to beautiful Heywoods Beach. One of the fabulous west coast beaches which are all public to the high tide line!

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!
