Family-friendly vacation rentals in Saint John

We have stayed at "Windswept" twice prior to this visit. Mandy has always been a very good communicator regarding our bookings. The villa is spacious with a beautiful private garden with a plunge-pool. All the bedrooms have airconditioning which is an essential as the nights in Barbados are very warm. It's a small thing but there was a decent supply of hangers in every wardrobe! Sugar Hill is a short drive from Holetown with its shops and restaurants. Once again we had a fantastic holiday and would certainly want to stay here again if we return to Barbados.

This was my first time staying at an AirBnB in Barbados after several visits to either family members or hotels while visiting the island. My entire family (wife, 2 kids and my mom) were all highly impressed as were friends and family who visited us. The pool was perfect, the beach was amazing and listening to the waves on the balcony became a way for all of us to find peace and quiet. The security was friendly and informative. Our host Jameela was an ANGEL! We have many travel struggles getting to the island and she was always responsive, supportive and helpful. The cleaning lady was so friendly and did an awesome job. We will definitely be coming back the next time we are back in Barbados!!!

We stayed at 204 Mistle Cove for one week. The location is right in the heart of Lawrence Gap with all restaurants and amenities within walking distance. The apartment itself is just as advertised, although the view is actually nicer than the pictures. The main room sleeps with a broadview of the ocean and the calming sounds of waves. The patio is spacious and perfect for breakfast , lunch and dinners in front of the ocean. My daughter loved the pool and the ocean front was a lot of fun with the high waves. A calmer and longer beach was only a two min walk from the apartment at Dover. Overall, we had everything we could have needed here, and would easily stay again if we go back to Barbados.

Great place to stay in Barbados. The place was fully equipped with everything you needed. Lovely view of one of the pools too. Would recommend a car to get around and see the island like we did - was a great location ( beaches much better on the west coast we thought ). The Fairmont was great too and staff friendly. Lots of restaurants within easy reach but again we drove to them as not walkable apart from The Deck which is onsite. Would definitely recommend this Airbnb and hopefully be back again one day.

Wayne and his team were very helpful. The house was prestige and in a great location. When I return to Barbados, I will 100% be booking with them

We really enjoyed our stay at The Palisades-6A. The house was spacious and clean, and we didn't lack for anything. We appreciated having beach towels, that the property was gated, and that we were able to use the bbq! The location is a short drive from Oistins and the St. Lawrence Gap, and a short walk from Enterprise Beach, which we enjoyed. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to Barbados!

My recent stay at Coral Cove #4 in Barbados was nothing short of exceptional. This spacious and well-appointed apartment offers a perfect blend of luxury and comfort, making it an ideal choice for travelers seeking serene beachfront. The apartment is impressively spacious, featuring an open-plan living area that seamlessly integrates the kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces. The décor is modern and tasteful, with high-quality furnishings and thoughtful touches that create a welcoming ambiance. The bedrooms are generously sized, each equipped with comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring privacy and convenience. Thank you! We loved it!!

Enjoyable stay. Met fantastic people sharing the same block. Nice to hang around the pool and chill. Beach is 2 mins walk so easy to get to and the sea is a stunning turquoise blue.

Where do I start! I had an amazing time here, with memories to last a lifetime. Engrid and the family were the perfect hosts and made me feel like part of the family. The location and accommodation was perfect and just what I need during my 3 week stay. Engrid went above & beyond expectations and the warm welcome I received was amazing. Engrid arranged a taxi from and to the airport and even arranged a car for my 3 week stay that was all reasonably priced The Lodge was clean and had everything I needed with a beautiful terrace where I would eat my meals every evening. Very private accommodation but Engrid & family members are at hand if needed. If you are looking for a peaceful country side retreat that is no more than 30 mins away from most attractions & parishes, then this is the place. I can’t wait to go back and stay here again and enjoy the peaceful views & sounds of nature once again. Thank you Engrid!

Jason and his family were excellent hosts. Great communication before check-in and always on hand to answer any questions throughout my stay. The room also has everything I needed with some very thoughtful touches I did an adventure hike through the rainforest with Jason as my guide, which was absolutely unforgettable and I’d definitely recommend doing this. The area is very secluded but there’s a few small convenience stores selling what you need. I found the local people are amazingly friendly and there’s a great sense of community in this small village. Is definitely recommend visiting this part 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.

We had a great stay at the WKD beach lofts! The beach across the road is beautiful!The rooms are spacious and there’s plenty of communal space on the rooftop, Daniel is super friendly and is always happy to help.

I absolutely loved staying at this Airbnb. Had a very spacious cottage, with my own private little garden. It also has a large very well kept main garden. It is two minutes walk to the boardwalk and the sea, and many restaurants and bars and shops in close proximity. The hosts were extremely friendly, very nice people, also live on site. They have a Beautiful ginger and white cat, who spent a lot of time with me, I was there for three weeks and still miss that lovely cat.

Great apartment, 2 bedrooms, lovely layout, well equipped kitchen. Host very helpful and responsive. Worth noting - no air-conditioning but fans in the bedroom work well. Would advise renting a car to get around.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Paolo was extremely helpful and friendly with great recommendations. The house is on a cute gated street across the street from a great surfing spot. Walking distance to Miami Beach which is a pleasant beach with a ton of shade trees. Oistins local fishing village is close enough to walk. For more lively area a quick jaunt to Rockley beach by car. For us a quiet walk to the surf and beach was ideal. Paolo must be one of the friendliest hosts we’ve had! The house was spacious and serene. Kitchen had all the necessary items. Can’t wait to return!

Richard is a super host, he’s communication was exceptional. The space is to view for, a view of the beach and only 7 minutes drive to Sandy Lane and the shops of Holetown. Book this and treat yourself to peace and tranquility.

Lovely apartment in a gated community. We booked last minute and needed a cot and the hosts were more than happy to sort everything before we arrived. The apartment has a nice pool and we were the only ones there in the day. It's also really easy to get the airport and the view from the balcony is lovely.

Sylvia’s place is a little piece of heaven. Not only does the spacious home have everything you need but the back porch views are incredible. We watched locals bringing out their livestock, Sunday afternoon RC flyers, and goats wandering nearby. Watching the sunset from the porch and the stars from the pool deck was such a treat - as was dipping into the clear pool waters continually throughout the day. Within walking distance is Bottom Bay Beach and several house-side bars with friendly owners and patrons. Groceries and anything else needed is only a short drive. Mauva and Phillip were extremely helpful and kind. They greeted us the first day, and bid us adieu on our last. We can’t wait for our next visit to Barbados!

This place is breathtaking, every time i go i never want to leave. It was clean. The property manager was very friendly and helpful. I love the view I will definitely be staying there again.

Listing was true to description. The host Cherie was very kind and professional. She greeted me at the house We did a tour and explained how to work all appliances. The house was clean and comfortable The view from the patio was spectacular and peaceful, I loved the Pool Although the house is in a good location. You will need a car as it quite away from the nearest bus stop. I enjoyed my stay and would return again without hesitation

Jana is a perfect Airbnb host. She is accommodating and very excited to have you. Her house is wonderful. If visiting Barbados again I would def try to stay in the same house again.

Really impressed with the house. Catered well for our family and our holiday!

We are regulars to the island and I can truthfully say, that this place beats them all. What an absolutely amazing find! We're so immensely grateful that we found and booked this place, and loved every minute at Elizabeth's plantation. We recommend hiring a car as its away from everything in the middle of the island, which we absolutely loved. Imagine sitting having breakfast on the balcony, while watching the horses graze in the background - Idyllic! Thanks again for being a great host with the most beautiful property on Barbados. Can't wait to return!

Thank you Comarie, Sebastian, and staff!!! Coral Villa turned out to be the wonderful rest and relaxation spot we thought it would be. Nestled on a private piece of property with an in-ground pool, this 3BR 2BA home is 2 minutes from the pounding surf of the Atlantic and a five minute walk to Shark Hole beach where we witnessed extraordinary sunrises wading in the ocean with the locals. WORD OF CAUTION. Currents and undertow are very strong on the Eastern part of the island. We arrived very early and Comarie gave us breakfast stuff and coffee from her refrigerator. THANK YOU for your hospitality! You probably need to rent a car as it is far from the tourists but Crane Beach is less than 10 minutes away as are Cutters and Marci Polo restaurant. Hunte’s Gardens are a must do! We drove across the island a couple days and recommend Lobster Alive and The Boatyard for beach rentals and swimming with the sea turtles. If you want to get away from it all I would definitely recommend this house.
