Family-friendly vacation rentals in Saint James

Fantastic villa with beautiful views, spacious, serene & comfortable. We went as a family of four, (2 under 2), and the place was exceptionally comfortable for us. Even though the house does have stairs, there was plenty of space for our toddler to play and roam the balcony etc. Amanda has a delightful villa manager who looked after our initial shopping needs, extra baby equipment that we decided to rent (bedrail) and was on hand to deal with any queries we had. The rooms were very comfortable, super king bed ensured we didn't miss home one bit with AC in the bedrooms. The showers were great, spacious, clean and with good pressure. The kitchen was great, with pretty much every utensil we required and a large american style fridge freezer. The views from the balcony transport you into an idyllic place and I could sit there for hours enjoying the cool breeze. We did not use the pool on this visit however we did use the hot tub which was lovely and ready for us to use. Highly recommend.

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.

I have recently returned from a wonderful week-long stay at Wayne’s property. The apartment provided a true home-away-from-home experience. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Patrick, who offered valuable information about the apartment and the area. The apartment was clean and equipped with all the necessities for our family vacation, including toiletries, beach towels, sun loungers, and access to a lovely pool. The beautiful beach is just a five-minute walk from the apartment, while a supermarket is a 15-minute walk away in Oistins. Additionally, the bus stop is only a two-minute walk, providing a quick seven-minute ride to St. Lawrence Gap. Wayne was very prompt and responsive in his communication both prior to and during our stay. This was our fifth visit to Barbados, we found the property to be reasonably priced, we would certainly be delighted to stay at Wayne's property again in the future. Thank you for your generous hospitality.

This was our third stay at 6a The Palisades. We love that part of the island and The Palisades is a perfect location for our favourite beach - Enterprise

Absolutely loved our stay here! The beach access across the street is a 2 min walk, very quiet, and is absolutely beautiful! There's lots of restaurants, beaches, and convenient stores within walking distance. Taxis and the little white "taxi" vans are running constantly so you never have to wait for a ride. The condo itself is well laid out, has everything you need for cooking at home, and the pool was an added bonus! Thanks again for hosting us and I look forward to a return trip in the future!

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.

This homes location is perfect! The coastal highway lets you get to anywhere you need by car and easily accessible by bus. The most stunning beach is an easy walk. The home Itself is phenomenal. Luxury living island style. The hammock is divine, True carribean experience of the roosters who have a lot to say…the monkeys and track meets (track behind the house) led to the full experience! This house has EVERYTHING! Including a flat iron, umbrella, cooler bags… really anything you need. Hosts are very easy to communicate with! We would not hesitate to come back!!

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.

As a family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers we really enjoyed our stay at Lion Castle. The apartment is spacious and has great views from all sides especially the rear balcony where Polo horses graze and you can see the coast which means great sunsets. The estate is spacious a d well keptand the pool area is a beautiful setting. The pool was a great bonus for our kids. The driveway to the estate is majestic and you could never tire of the site of the palm trees that line it as you approach. Elizabeth was a great host and extremely helpful and attentive as were other family members also within the grounds. The location is peaceful and beautiful and ideal for exploring the whole island as it is centrally based. How was others have said you do need a hire car but I would recommend that for anyone visiting the island who really wants to explore its beautiful beaches and scenery wherever you stay. Overall we had a fantastic 2 weeks and would definitely recommend Lion Castle and host Elizabeth

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 absolutely loved Veronica's place and Veronica was fantastic. Would love to stay again.

First time out to Barbados, I was expecting less and less comfortable given the size of the room expecting to settle honestly . However the place was well organized , very clean , modern / up to date appliances and a decent sized TV. The place felt safe , warm , welcoming and lax! Thank you for allowing me to stay . I look forward to coming back to your island very soon!

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.

Absolutely stunning place at a prime location all the best bars, restaurants snorkelling spots, shopping, gym I mean everything you can ask for, local super markets. Close to speightstown just gorgeous. Communication and property management was also spot on, although we were in the hottest time of the year the mid portion of the house can get a little hot, but then you have a lovely plunge pool to cool Off and rooms are spacious and air con in every single room. The amnesties and bbq grill every single attention to detail. I cannot recommend it enough and hopefully we will be back soon. Shout out to Chris and Katina as well. We even had a chef recommended by them to come and cook for us bajan food, and it was amazing. Thank you Amanda and Nigel once again you were brilliant hosts. Felt like we were at home.

Marcia the host is fantastic - very responsive and helpful. We stayed at the villa for the second week of our vacation as we had 2 kids (3 year old and 4 month old) and our family friends were joining us with similar age kids - the place worked very well for us - leveraging the communal pool, the garden area and tennis courts daily. The private plunge pool was also a hit with the kids. The beach is within walking distance though we preferred to drive back down the coast (10min) to explore other beaches and restaurants. Gated residence gives an element of security and privacy though Barbados is typically very safe.

My wife and I have just returned from a wonderful stay in Michael's house in Poinsettia Ave. It is a really beautiful place and is a home away from home with everything you need for a fantastic holiday in Barbados. Location is excellent with easy walks to the beach, shops and restaurants. And Michael and Sherril were fantastic hosts - we will definitely be staying again. Thank you.

This place is more beautiful than the pictures. Squeaky Clean!

David’s place was fantastic. There is a private dunk pool in the back yard and a large pool for the development right next door. It felt very safe and they could not have been more responsive to messages and concerns.

Terrence was a model host, one of the best I had! The place was clean and well stocked in every way. All the tools needed for cooking, clean bathrooms and beds, everything easy to find. I hope to stay there again! My kids loved the pool and tennis court as well.

We had a fantastic stay at Mike’s place and would love to return one day! We booked Mali for our transfers, as Mike recommended. Mali was there to greet us at the airport with a friendly and efficient service. When we arrived at the property, Heather was there to welcome us and gave us all of the information we needed. The property is lovely and has everything you’d need. We felt at home straight away! Having the use of of Beach Club pool and facilities is an added bonus. Gorgeous beaches are walking distance away. We hired a car and explored the whole island. Absolutely love Barbados and Mike’s place is a perfect base. Thanks for having us 😊

The home is cozy and situated in the amazing estate of Royal Westmoreland. It was nice having a housekeeper and taking walks throughout the community. Getting into the estate was somewhat challenging at first because there weren't exact addresses or house numbers, but once we knew the home, it was easy thereafter.
