Family-friendly vacation rentals in Saint James

What a beautiful place to stay! We took our three children and it was the perfect family location. Amanda has thought of everything at the house and having the pool, gym and restaurant facility so close by was perfect. During our stay Marcia was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely book again if we visit Barbados.

An excellent location for easy beach access, great restaurants and incredible sunsets. This is a wonderful property with super amenities and very comfortable furnishings. We enjoyed the layout of the house and the ability to sit outside in the sunshine and relax. The pool and tennis courts were steps away, but never noisy and the community was peaceful and a great place for a vacation. The monkeys wandering around were a real bonus! Carl and Marcia were very friendly, helpful and responsive. Highly recommend this location for spending time in beautiful Barbados. It was our first visit but will not the last.

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.

Jeff and Vicki's place was perfect! It is on the slower side of the island so it was great for relaxing and enjoying each other's company. They were extremely responsive and left some snacks and a few beers to get our vacation started. Amazing views of the ocean! Looking forward to staying again when we return.

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

Only a 5 min walk to the freights bay surf break - so if you’re going to surf this is an awesome place to stay. The house was very spacious. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

We had a wonderful months stay in Elizabeth's cottage. We felt at home as soon as we stepped inside. The kitchen was very well equipped. Super comfy beds and lovely bed linen and plenty of towels. It was extremely clean and we loved the outside space. The locals were so friendly and we always felt safe. Elizabeth's Dad, Tommy was near if needed and Heather did a wonderful job cleaning each week. Had some great chats ! Missing the sunshine and having breakfast on the veranda. You can see the sea from the cottage and be swimming in 5 minutes! There is a great fish market at the end of the road where the fish is so fresh. We visited last year and stayed in a hotel but staying in a cottage for us was so much more enjoyable. We did hire a car as we wanted to explore the island but it's not a necessity. Thank you, Elizabeth, would love to return in the future.

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!

My stay was very comfortable, with all the comforts of home. I loved the location and the bus was just a few feet away.. I look forward to my return. The hosts were very accommodating. I truly enjoyed my stay. Thanks for having me

This is a perfect place to stay , zeema and Paul were very helpful and really nice people , the location is walking distance from Dover beach literally 10 steps , many restaurants walkable around the area , st Lawrence is walking distance as well where the bar areas are and more food it’s about a 10 min walk I really enjoyed my stay and would stay again . Paul was even nice to offer me a couple rides when he was free but I was unfortunately on the beach ! Would stay here again ! And definitely worth the money

We had a fabulous 8 day stay. The cottage is well equipped and is perfectly placed for shops,beaches,bars and restaurants. There is a short cut to the supermarket which we found priceless when carrying groceries. The sunset crest club was minutes away and has excellent facilities for a day round the pool. We ventured out along the beaches which were beautiful and empty. Shopping centre is close by also. Lizbeth and Patrick very helpful and lovely owners even helped us out with some milk which was hard to come by. Would definitely go again but I’d go for longer next time.

Joseph was amazing helping us get settled in. He was very detailed when explaining everything in the unit. We reached out to him on day two because the water wasn’t getting hot, he responded and fixed it immediately, so we had cold showers on the first day, but all in all we had an awesome time and I would book this location again 💕.

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.

We stayed at coco house with our 2 boys, the home is just wonderful and the real picture we can’t get out of our mind was the view from the balcony with the morning coffee’s. Sugar hill is perfect for those with older children wishing to have a little of their own independence too with the pools close by. We wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with Susie. We found all the information fantastic which enabled a full packed adventure in Barbados. The beds were comfortable. Marcia who looks after the property and meet and greets was also fabulous. Thank you 🙏

This is our first time in Barbados and wow what a place. Makara our host could not do enough for us. Arranging collection from the airport to helping us get a hire car. The house was amazing and exactly what we needed for our holiday. Our house keeper Amanda was so thorough and kept the house immaculate. I would recommend getting a hire car. We would definitely stay here again. Such a beautiful house. Very peaceful.

The house was in a lovely location to experience the local culture. It is a friendly community of Vila’s with very friendly people. A short walk to the beach and a short drive to Batts Rock beach which is one of my favourite on the island. This villa is perfect to escape the high tourism of Holetown and Bridgetown.

Sugar Cane Ridge 9 was everything we could have hoped for and much more. The property was spotless, beautifully comfortable and really felt like a home away from home! We were so happy and at ease there. Even though we were late arriving, our host welcomed us and made us feel so at home. The surrounding area is beautifully maintained, picturesque and so peaceful. We would suggest renting a car so you can get to the local beaches, shopping and restaurants more easily as the resort is set quite some way back from the coastal area. It is walkable but not for small children and there is no pavement. There is however, a shuttle bus that takes you to the main beach which is convenient if a rental car is not for you. We cannot recommend this property highly enough! It was wonderful and we hope to return soon.

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

Excellent location, great service from the gardener with Sunbeds on the beach each morning and the cleaner who came 3 times during our stay and replaced towels, removed rubbish and put clean sheets on the bed. Location is excellent for the beach and Holetown with its shops, bars and restaurants. I agree with some of the other reviews about the noise but it didn’t spoil the overall experience and we will definitely be back
