Beachfront vacation rentals in Ocean City

My partner and I stayed for a week in Jess’s apartment, whilst I surfed and remote worked from the UK and close to my partners home in Oistins. Jess’s cosy apartment was just what we were looking for, private, quiet, comfortable and with lots of outside living space. The breeze blows through all the open shutters making it nice and cool and we enjoyed dinners in the garden and afternoon naps in the hammock. The apartment is a 5 minute walk from Freights Bay to surf and 20 minute walk to Miami Beach and Oistins for the shops and places to eat. Jess was the highlight of the trip giving us loads of great recommendations and an all round great host and person. We will definitely be keeping in touch and saying again!

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!

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.

My husband and I fell in love about 8 years ago with Barbados and this was our 8th visit to Barbados. We booked this villa about 3 days prior to our arrival, and were impressed with the quick communication and very easy self check in. The villa is beautiful, nice and white and bright. The beds were very comfortable and it was spotless. Plenty of beach towels and bath towels! It was lovely sitting on the deck watching the surfers, we felt safe and happy in the Freights Bay Area with a quick walk to Miami Beach, the location of this villa was convenient and within walking distance to the fish market and Masseys grocery store! A lovely villa in deed and another wonderful vacation in Barbados.

Perfect spot in between all the plans I had for my stay. Very walkable, easy to navigate, lovely space! Would recommend and would stay again!! Much appreciated!

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.

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.

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!

Sweetwater was a beautiful well appointed home that provided a clean, safe, peaceful getaway for our friend group. It had everything we needed! We would recommend it for large families or friend groups.

The Sandgate Beach House was absolutely beautiful!!! The pictures and description were extremely accurate. As a group of six, we had plenty of room both inside and out. The patio/terrace allowed us to spend 95% of our time outside. It was such a pleasure to wake up and be right on the beach. Can't say enough about this house. We hope to return next year!!

I stayed with seven of my students and my colleague and it was perfect. We loved walking to the reef to do marine biology, going on the roof to star gaze and do math lessons, and the pool for the kids to unwind. I loved that the doors locked automatically so I didn’t have to worry about the kids each needing a key or forgetting to lock the doors. There was an area for us to gather as a group and the kitchen was large so more than one person could cook. Highly recommended

We had not stayed at Glitter Bay since our children were young 25 years ago. It felt wonderful to be back. The resort is so beautiful, green and spacious with a wonderful beach furnished with very comfortable sun beds, well spaced, 2 towels each and your own designated ones for the whole holiday. (None of that running to save a sunbed in the mornings!) The apartment was spotlessly clean and every morning 6 days a week the lovely Coral came in to clean and make the bed. It felt as though we were in a hotel. The fridge was surprisingly stocked with eggs, milk, butter, bread, jam, tea bags, cokes and beer. We had a super view of the blue Caribbean sea and amazing sunsets from our balcony or the super little beach cafe. We cant wait to return!

Fabulous ground floor apartment. Great location - the beach was only a few steps away. Large pool which wasn’t busy. Felt very secure. Apartment was clean and well furnished. Hometown was only a short drive away. Had a fantastic holiday and would definitely recommend

We loves the unit, pool, few steps to ocean, and near great bars and restaurants. Plus our own parking space.

This was the perfect choice for our stay. The house was clean, well-appointed, and beautiful. The housekeeper was friendly and helpful. The host was very accommodating and the property manager was very responsive to our requests. I would definitely book this property again!

If you are traveling with a larger party, this is the house to stay in! There's enough space for everyone, and all the bedrooms are spread out for the most part, as well as the bathroom! The house had everything we needed plus nice touches such as coffee and tea, even some cold water in the fridge already! Uvee is super helpful and accommodating! The location is up the street from the beach, just a short walk away from many of the best restaurants in the Gap. Also, a short walk to many stores, including the Dover Market, which is also near the ATM. As someone who's visited before, this is my favorite stay so far! Uvee can also arrange the taxi for airport pick up and drop off if needed, which was very helpful!

We miss this house already!! The pictures do not completely compliment how gorgeous this place looks from the inside and outside! The house is spacious and very clean. The view and surroundings are just breathtaking! The morning sunrise is so beautiful and peaceful. The staff is friendly and super helpful, overall excellent services! Restaurants, stores are just a 10-15 minute drive away from the house. Food delivery options are great, however you can also cook your own meals in the spacious kitchen. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy Barbados in all peace and quite and explore the island by car. The sea in front of the house is wild and great for surfers, the quieter blue beaches where you can relax, swim, snorkel are just 10-20 min away. We have enjoyed our stay and will definitely return!

Rachel’s place is a wee gem ! She is so kind and friendly and works really hard. The apartment was much bigger than it looked in the photos. Lovely balcony to watch the waves. Excellent welcome pack with some basic groceries which was much appreciated . Chilled vibe on the beach and Rachel provides loads of loungers and umbrellas etc to use . Great having a washing machine . Quiet street but very handy for main road for buses . The Chinese restaurant down the road was good as is the roti shop, St Lawrence gap easy to access on foot or by bus for the Cafe Sol end. Loads of good options there .Check out Rebell Burger which is next to Dover Market and we also liked the Park Cafe next to the Massey stores in Worthing . Food tours with Lickrish were fun as was the 4x4 Island Safari. Definitely recommend ! Thanks Rachel !

The accommodation was exceptional. Stephanie is very responsive. Her place is close to the beach and comes with plenty of indoor and outdoor amenities. The area is private and quiet, but you do need a vehicle. You could easily spend your entire holiday just relaxing there, but we still went out exploring, and every time, it was a pleasure to come back at the end of the day. I apologise again for the miscommunication on our part, we just didn’t want to bother you with something that seemed minor at first. Rent this place, it’s amazing! Thank you, Stephanie!

Our stay at Villa 403 was absolutely wonderful. From the communication before we arrived with Sandy, the warm welcome and early check-in with Dawn we were made to feel very welcome. VotB is ideally located, beaches are stunning and quiet during our stay. The pool and gardens are beautiful and well maintained. We loved the local restaurants; check out Zacchio's next door, and the 'Life is Sweet' Dessert bar across the road. Activities available to book from Holetown beach if you want them; we enjoyed a boat trip with snorkelling stops where we swam with turtles & stingray. The vendors are not pushy and we felt very safe and welcomed by them. Of course, the highlight of our sty was Coral! the listing does not make it clear that Villa 403 has the most marvellous housekeeper, Coral, who will make your stay magical! nothing was too much trouble for her- she washed our laundry (which smelled amazing!),shopped & cooked amazing Bajan food. We loved our stay and would rebook without question

Roomy, comfortable, clean house with a spectacular view. Looks exactly as in the pictures. Great spot if you are looking for a more authentic Bajan experience, away from the main resort areas, but still close to many attractions and amenities. The bedrooms have AC. The breeze coming in from the sea made the rest of the house very comfortable temperature-wise. The early morning road traffic is a bit noisy, but this is probably true of all of Barbados which is very densely populated. We found that all the benefits of the house outweighed this minor inconvenience. The neighbourhood is otherwise very peaceful and we had a relaxing experience. There are a few gems that are walking distance from the house : Fish Pot restaurant (just amazing) , and Merton's beach up the road where we took daily morning swims, very much felt like a private beach! Speightstown is a short drive away with great restaurant options and a nice supermarket. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

Lovely clean apartment in a lovely location just across a quiet road from a lovely beach. Speightstown is a lovely small town with enough bars and restaurants and supermarkets to keep you well fed and watered. The only thing to be aware of is that the washing machine isn’t in the apartment, it’s in a separate building, the keys for which are held by the housekeeper. It’s not a problem once you know the system, but you do need to know the system. We would stay here again

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