Waterfront vacation rentals in Dover Beach

This location is a hidden gem and exceeded all expectations. Literally the beach is at your doorstep and is not crowded like other beaches. The flat is lovely as well as the gardens are well maintained. I loved it and will definitely be back and recommending to friends. Thank you.

We absolutely loved this spot! Four of us stayed here for ten days and could not have had better accommodation. Kerry and Nathan are incredible hosts and lovely people. They greeted us upon our arrival, provided helpful details about the unit and the area, and generously gifted us our first taste of rum punch as well as enough food for our first morning. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. The unit was large, bright, comfortable, and spotless in every room. The kitchen was meticulously organized and had every dish, pot, tool or appliance one may need to make cooking a pleasure. The ocean view from our deck was spectacular - and the breeze a delight! The grass area at the water's edge was also a welcoming spot where we would watch the turtles swim and the waves roll in. We were a short walk to Oistins which with its fish market, food stalls, and local charm, quickly became our favourite spot on the island. What's more to say...you'll love it!

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.

Had a great stay at Anthony's place great host and accomodations. Fantastic location walking distance to great beaches and restaurants would have no problem to stay again or reccomend his place. Thanks

We had a fantastic stay in Bathsheba. The place was spotless, and the location couldn't have been better, convenient to everything we wanted to explore, I recommend Andromeda Gardens close by. Gene Marva was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed. All amenities were in perfect working order, and we had absolutely no issues during our stay. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend! Thank you for a lovely stay.

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!

The apartment was great, really clean and with a lovely balcony, Todd and Barbara were so welcoming and explained everything to us at check-in, 10/10 would stay again

Liz’s place is wonderful! End unit so lots of light and privacy. Nice clean little pool that we used daily to cool off. Rarely too crowded. You do share the backyard with the other tenants, which was actually lovely because we’ve made many new friends. And the beach is perfect! You can step down to the beach using the stairs in the backyard. We walked the entire length of the beach each morning. There’s a little bit of Coral right in front of the steps, but you can go in to swim either to the left or to the right just a few steps away. Our beach was fun because we had some nice waves to play in, but if you want a calmer beach you can catch one of the buses out front and go over to Carlisle Bay. There are two nice grocery stores in walking distance and it’s quite easy to walk over to the St. Lawrence gap where there are lots of lovely restaurants. There are other restaurants in every direction in walking distance. We never needed to rent a car.

Our second stay. We love the location and working with Lex. If you want beach front access walkable to Freights ( 1.2 miles) the grocery store and a taxi stand you found the perfect spot.

I can’t say enough about Salty Toes., it was perfect., Chloe was a great host., very attentive. We had a chance to meet her and the family., everyone was so kind and friendly. I hope I have an opportunity to stay there again sometime soon.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful property! The seclusion was exactly what we were looking for, offering a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. The place was perfect—cozy, well-equipped, and surrounded by nature. Ruth and Chris were amazing hosts, making sure we had everything we needed and ensuring our stay was comfortable. We truly enjoyed every moment and felt completely at home. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway in a serene setting, this is the place to be. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking tranquility and a unique experience. Would love to return!

Chris and Michelle were incredibly responsive and flexible. The property was beautiful. Would stay here again without a doubt.

Very friendly and communicative hosts! Beautiful ocean view from the front porch and convenient walking to beaches, local restaurants, cafes, and shopping. Would stay again!!

What an absolutely perfect holiday my family and I had. I would strongly urge whoever reads this to go ahead and book. Being located on a quiet beach with two fantastic bars on it, we had a great time. If you chose you can have three meals a day prepared for you, by a lovely lady that has worked at the property for over 25 years. If not there are many great bars and restaurants within a short drive and in some cases a short walk. There’s a security guard at night as well as a cleaner there in the day. The house it lovely, it’s got a very authentic feel about it. It could do with a little bit of TLC however the location of the property makes up for it. My only complaint would be that the Wi-Fi was unusable, so if you’re planning on working on your holiday then the beach bar next door has good internet or alternatively purchase a good mobile data plan.

We had a fantastic stay at Blue Door Beach House and can’t recommend it enough. The location is absolutely perfect– just steps from the sea, allowing us to easily enjoy the beach at any time. Super easy to get to, we took the bus to and from the airport, which was not only convenient but also a fraction of the cost of a taxi. A taxi driver quoted us €200 for the trip, but the bus for the five of us was only €17.50! The house itself was awesome, with great facilities that made our stay even more enjoyable. The air conditioning kept us cool throughout, and the washing facilities were a real bonus. We especially loved the outdoor seating area, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the ice machine was a lifesaver – it never ran out! Our hosts were very welcoming and easy to contact, always ready to help with any queries. All in all, a lovely place to stay – we’ll definitely be back!

we had a wonderful stay. Everything was perfect - accomodation in quiet location very close to Miami Beach and shops / bakery. comunication with Alicia and Mark was excelent - very friendly and helpfull. appartement was very good equiped and clean. Thank you for wonderful experience and hospitality

We are from NC in the US. My wife and I had never rented from AirB&B outside of the US and were a little hesitant. I messaged the host because this location had no reviews. The response gave me total confidence we would have a great experience and we did! Preetam is the host who handled our visit. We have had a lot of excellent hosts over the years but Preetam raised the bar. He explained it was new and we were the second reservation. We messaged more before our arrival with Preetam always providing prompt helpful information. Upon arrival Preetam met us at the property to show us around the condo and the grounds, including the beautiful beach, the awesome rooftop pool and to provide tons of helpful info and recommendations. The condo exceeded our expectations including snacks Preetam stocked it with so we did not have to rush to the grocery store. We did need to message Preetam during our visit and he promptly arrived and resolved our question. Highly recommend!

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!

Visited Barbados for the first time with my wife and teenage son. Mary’s place is awesome and she’s a superlative host! Very accommodating of my list minute travel plans and super responsive with comm. She provided loads of good inside info and even went so far as to help me find the best deal on a last minute rental car as we were running through airports to make our flights! I mean, who does that? The balcony is just 50’ from the ocean and the sound of the surf softly serenaded us to sleep each night. The location allowed easy access to all the St Lawrence gap bars and restaurants. The condo itself was very well appointed with views from the balcony, living room and master that are second to none. This place is an absolute gem and Mary is fabulous! We will definitely be back!!

Roseanne and Doug were VERY polite and hospitable and their home is wonderful. We highly recommend them and their home. The location was gorgeous, very clean and everything needed for our stay.

Thankyou Peter your condo is so well located . Spacious and well laid out. Love the beach location and walking to restaurants. You were so accommodating and flexible with check in and check out. Regards Tracy

Loved the property, great location with small private beach, and pool. Located on saint Lawrence gap so close to a number of restaurants and bars. This was a great base for us to explore more of the island. The condo is a fully equipped home with all you need. We stayed 2 weeks and so it was cleaned fully after our first week. June the local host is lovely and was able to answer any queries we had which were few. Will miss the amazing view from the terrace, which is just stunning and the sound of the ocean as you fall asleep every night. Other guests at mistle cove were also lovely. Highly recommend this property!

We enjoyed our family stay over the holidays. The local beach was the best on the island for snorkeling in my opinion. The location had everything we could ask for.
