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.

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 loved our stay at Whispy Waves. We were only the 2nd guests to stay here, so everything was new and the decor was to a high standard. The kitchen was fully equipped and had everything we needed. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Plus there were plenty of towels and extra linens. The covered patio was great for the evenings and watching the sunsets. It is in great location close to all amenities. Although just off a main road it still felt very private. The addition of private beach access, beach chairs supplied and a laundry room was a huge bonus. We've stayed at many places along this main Road, but this was definitely our favourite. Thanks Chloe and hope to be back soon.

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.

The best airbnb I’ve stayed at, felt like a home away from home i will most definitely be back

Book This Place Quickly!!! This property was EXCELLENT! It was not just as described. It was better than described. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. It was very quiet in the community; so quiet that you could hear the waves hitting the beach (Welches Beach) at all times of the day and night. Super safe location that was only steps away from Massey’s Supermarket and Oistins Fish Market. The apartment was very clean and well kept. The beds were very comfortable and made for a good night’s sleep. The outdoor property was daily maintained and manicured. Very adequate amenities to make the place feel like home in paradise. Jameela and the other co-hosts kept in close contact just to make sure that things were to our satisfaction. And that’s how you become a SUPER HOST!!! Kudos to the Team! We hope to come back to the Island, and when we do, we hope Lighthouse Bay Apartment #102 is available!!!

Saudia is an amazing host that is responsive, helpful, and proactive. This was the easiest check in and check our process that I have ever experienced through Airbnb. Her beautiful property was everything I could have ever imagined and more. Her recs and attention to detail only elevated the trip.

One of the best holidays I’ve ever taken - Ocean Blues is simply one of a kind, we lucked out and had the entire villa to ourselves - which was an added bonus for travelling in the shoulder season. The amenities are just as described, but don’t really do it justice - a private little area to swim into the ocean, with a lovely pool oasis on the deck overlooking the vista. It’s truly spectacular! The room is very comfortable and with even better view. It has everything one needs - plush bed, solid shower with pressure and hot water, clean and tidy. The housekeeper Lana was truly an angel and took such great care of us - her hospitality and warmth truly made the experience special and very memorable. Lastly the nearby La Cabane is a must try and swimming over to Batts Rock to soak in the afternoon rays was our highlight. Thank you Justin, we look forward to our next visit! And thank you Lana for all the love and generosity

Beautiful clean condo with a fully loaded kitchen. It’s one of those places where you can use something and then leave something behind. I love places like that. All amenities worked and the next guests should have a new coffee pot. I really enjoyed the softer touches, candles outside (yes, I left one), lots of towels and random house hold everyday items that you need in an Airbnb. I recommend renting a car to get around.

Cam's place was exactly as described. Cam was also easy to communicate with. He was able to connect me with a local grocery delivery service, which was extremely helpful as i was traveling with twins!! Would recommend his place to anyone traveling to Barbados as it is only a short drive to downtown Oistins with plenty of local restaurants.

Our stay at Allure was truly exceptional. The property is brand new, beautifully maintained, and absolutely immaculate. We were warmly welcomed with thoughtful food and drinks, which was a lovely touch. The hosts have considered every detail—you’ll find the apartment and kitchen incredibly well-equipped with every gadget and amenity you could possibly need. The beach is just steps away, and the upstairs terrace and pool area are stunning, spotless, and perfect for relaxing. We’re already looking forward to booking again next year!

Had a wonderful stay at Sapphire! Ray was on top of all the details and was proactive about sharing. Dover beach is beautiful and this location is directly on the beach. There are lots of restaurants nearby and cabs always located outside if you need to go anywhere (make sure to vet your cab and get a price up front!!!) We rented a car for a couple of days to explore other areas of the island, as this was a much more economical option than getting a cab. Location is very secure with 24 hour security. I was traveling with my (young) adult children. Thank you Ray!!

My sister and I enjoyed our first visit to Barbados and staying at tucked away! The apartment is located really close to Rascals (Brandon beach) which is an amazing beach. The apartment was lovely and we enjoyed being able to cook at times. The grocery store is in walking distance (5mins walk). I really like how helpful and responsive Ian was. We will definitely stay here again. One thing to note that in the community they have kites flying all night. My sister was startled awake by the kites the first night. The kites didn’t bother me though. Definitely loved it.

Ruth's place in Christ Church was one of the best stays we've ever had on Airbnb. Falling asleep and waking up to the waves crashing right outside our balcony was just dream like. The location is 10/10, very close to Oistins and all the sights to see and places to eat in the area. Ruth herself was super friendly, accommodating, got us in early, provided local recommendations, and was such a wonderful person to chat with, we very much looked forward to running into her around the property. We loved Ruth's dogs and felt very safe with their presence, they are friendly with their tails constantly wagging and are very well trained by Ruth. We would 100% stay again in a heartbeat- see you next time we're in Barbados!!

We loved staying at the Edverly Beach House in Bathsheba. It was exactly what we expected from the description and the photos. It is perfectly situated overlooking the ocean and we had additional (unexpected!) We Gatherin' Festival on our doorstep, fantastic cultural experience. We particularly loved the veranda for the views as well as for the very welcome breeze. The kitchen was adequately furnished and we enjoyed working out how to use the oven - start with setting the clock! We stayed in Bathsheba before so we knew what to expect in terms of scenery and the coastline. The local community is extremely welcoming and friendly and thanks to the regulars at The Sea View Bar we are now deeply committed to playing Dominos (kindly gifted to us by the landlady but you can buy them at North Point Animal Flower Cave stalls). Edmund was an excellent host and we also enjoyed Freddie the gardener's chat. We hope the beach house is available when we decide to stay in Bathsheba again.

The Sandbox studio was the perfect vacation accommodation. The place was clean, the kitchen was well supplied, the bed was big and comfortable, and we're super glad there was a washer and drier. It's the perfect size for a couple or small family. The outdoor property is beautiful, with flowers and a lot of outdoor seating options. The place also come with access to kayaks, goggles, life jackets and more. And the best part, you are right on the beautiful Brighton Beach!! The waves are calm enough to swim and it is very quiet. Stephanie was a wonderful host. Very easy to get in touch with her, and helpful with any questions we had. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. The location was perfect for our taste, quiet but just enough restaurants and a grocery store a 10 minute walk away. We hgihly recommend K's Rotis. We did not rent a car and found it easy to catch buses and ZR vans on the main highway. We plan to always stay here whenever we are in Barbados!!

Sandy View was a beautifully furnished and well appointed condo with ample space for 3 couples. The views from the balcony across the beach were stunning. Volney was fantastic and got us some shopping in for our arrival as the supermarkets were closed early on the Sunday. She serviced the condo regularly and promptly address an issue with the hot water. The booking process was easy and Richard was really helpful before we arrived offering advice on transportation and restaurants. The beach was lovely but be sure to go to Heywood’s beach just 10 mins walk from the condo to the right. Two supermarkets close by were great. I would recommend Baia, Local&Co snd Sand Street Bistro as well as the pizzas at Orange Street Grocer. Pier One about a 1 mile walk right from the condo offers lovely sunbeds and a pool free if you eat there. I would highly recommend @Shasacatamarancruises for a private charter to snorkel and swim with turtles with your food and bar included. Really good value.

We loved staying here. It was so cute. Christy was the perfect host. Loved having delicious coffee every morning from her coffee shop. The front porch was private and peaceful.

This place was a lovely place for my family and I and is close to the islands main attractions by car! From checking in to checking out it was a smooth process altogether.. The host was always responsive and Kiana was very nice and helpful with any questions we’ve had!

My sister and I had a great stay here and we had everything we needed to feel at home. Home was easy to find, peaceful, and was a short drive to the airport, supermarket, beach, etc. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated. Lory was very responsive. We appreciated that the building was well lit, had cameras around the building, a covered carport, and outdoor seating. Just so others are aware, the ac is motion sensored and one of the beds is very firm. We had no issues with the ac as it worked well/quickly, but it did turn off after a certain amount of time if no motion was detected (just something we didn't expect). Regardless, I would highly recommend anyone visiting the island to stay here!
