Waterfront vacation rentals in Saint John

Absolutely stunning stay at The View! The ocean is literally at your doorstep — we fell asleep to the sound of waves and woke up to breathtaking sunrises. The space is spotless, stylish, and super comfortable. Silver Sands is peaceful and picturesque, and the host made everything effortless. If you're looking for a serene, beachfront escape in Barbados, this is it. Our host was warm, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed to feel right at home. From local tips to thoughtful touches throughout the property, the hospitality was top-notch. If you’re looking for a magical, oceanfront escape in Barbados, The View is it. We left feeling completely refreshed, already dreaming about our next visit. We didn’t want to leave! 🌅🌊🌴 5 stars!

The apartment was amazing! The perfect location, and right on the beach front with beautiful views. It was very quiet and felt like a private beach, with sunbeds and umbrellas. Perfect for a day of relaxation and sunbathing. It was very easy to get around, the apartment was very close to Holetown so we could visit lots of restaurants and go shopping. The hosts were easy to contact and really helpful when we had questions, even ahead of our stay. I would definitely recommend this place if you are visiting Barbados, it felt like our home away from home.

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!

Great host, very friendly and responsive. Wonderful location just steps from the beach! Includes all the amenities you need. Only minor downside is the noise from nearby vehicle and air traffic. Overall, highly recommended!

My best friend and I had a wonderful stay here. The condo is beautiful and has an amazing view from the balcony. The amenities were a nice touch. We enjoyed the lounge chairs and the bottom pool. Our view was so amazing that we didn't make it up to the rooftop. Additionally, the hospitality from beginning to end was unmatched. Leon and Diana were the best and truly enhanced the experience.

There are no words to describe the beauty of this place. The hosts, Nancy and her brother Danny, are extremely kind and helpful. The place, well, is just perfect. (way better than the pictures) Oh, and you gonna love the 2 dogs ... 🥰 I strongly recommend Nancy's place for any travellers, and personally I look forward to book it again. Thank you!

A place that's hard to describe... truly beyond words. Just feel lucky if it's available, and book it without a second's hesitation. We hope to have the chance to return someday to this piece of paradise on Earth.

The location was perfect since we didn't rent a car. We had a Massey's right up the street and Clifton Market a few blocks away. We could walk to St. Laurence Gap. We enjoyed hearing the waves throughout our stay and enjoyed the pool most nights. The Co-Host, Charmaine, was extremely friendly and responsive. She gave us many good tips for exploring the island, and even drove us home from a Saturday market when we bumped into her. We would definitely recommend this location.

Chloe’s place was truly something special. The view couldn’t be better—right on the water! The upstairs features a large opening to the beach that makes you feel like you’re living outdoors. It does get warm during the day, but with the fans and side windows open, you can create a pleasant airflow. The spacious bedroom downstairs was comfortable and includes a cooling system that keeps things cool at night. The mattress could use an update—it’s quite soft and you can feel the springs a bit—but we still slept well. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the utensils you might need if you plan to cook. I would definitely recommend Chloe’s place if you’re looking to enjoy island life away from the main tourist areas, while still being close to attractions and having direct access to the water!

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.

Salty toes is unbelievable!, and it's a must visit! From the cleanliness of the house itself to the sandy beach coming right up to the outdoor seating area, simply amazing! It's one of those places that's quiet and off the main street but it has everything on its doorstep! lovely bars, restaurants, food courts, lovely boardwalks etc it has it all.. the house was spotless, fully stocked with everything you could imagine. Big cooker, big fridge freezer/ washing/ dryer facilities. Salty toes has ample space for families. Two big seating areas inside for eating at, and then the outdoor area just has to be seen! Amazing! All 3 bedrooms were huge, crisp clean linen and all beds with memory foam mattresses! We'll definitely be back to Salty Toes, home away from home. I'd be giving this place 20/10! Top Class Chloe, keep up the good work!

Turtle Reef has been my lengthy stay in Barbados for many years. We refer to it as our home from home. The decor is totally my taste and is totally conducive to why it suits myself and my special needs daughter. John and Shirley are the perfect hosts.

Fantastic house, beautiful west facing views for sunset over the sea, really close to Fish Pot restaurant with beach and pier to swim off. The house itself is even better than the photos, and the rooms are all to a high spec with aircon and lots of space. We liked being at the quieter end of the island, it's very private and quiet. David and Chris were excellent hosts, Chris was very helpful and gave us suggestions for lunch restaurants on the beaches. Would highly recommend and stay again, thank you.

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.

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.

Wow, just wow! Amazing views. Picture postcard views everywhere in this stunning villa. Tina and Philip were the perfect hosts met us on arrival and couldn’t have been more helpful throughout our stay. They helped arrange our groceries and also our car hire. They even dropped off bottles of drinking water when the water in the whole area went off! The Villa is simply stunning and our whole family had an amazing time here with a lovely small cove beach perfect for snorkelling. Just on the Boardwalk - so lovely to walk down along the shore to the restaurants. The Villa was so well equipped with everything you should need for your stay. The only small negatives for our family were the noisy road early mornings (we knew about and can’t avoid beach front) and lack of a smart tv for Netflix/Amazon TV etc. Would highly recommend and we had an amazing time here in Barbados!

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

From our first enquiry to check-out, our experience with Preetam and this property was exceptional. We were traveling from Ireland with our 3-year-old and 5-month-old and were a bit nervous, but everything we needed—travel cot, highchair, baby bath, even kids' plates—was ready for us. Though there were no reviews when we booked, we were quickly reassured—the apartment was even better than the photos. Thoughtfully decorated and fully stocked, it’s clear a lot of care went into every detail. We’ve traveled a lot, and this was by far our best accommodation experience. Having the sea right outside was a real treat, and the beach was quiet and peaceful. One note: we’d have been lost without a car, as most restaurants and amenities are around 30 minutes away, there is not a lot in the immediate location. Definitely ask Preetam for restaurant/ disk recommendations! You are in for a treat! It really was the most beautiful place to stay, thank you.

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.

Thank you Mary for allow me to celebrate my birthday. at one love , the location The view was everything i highly recommend one love .

Thank you, Rosanne, for an incredible stay. The condo is even more beautiful in person—spacious, stylish, and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable holiday (and then some!). The location is perfect, making it an ideal base for exploring the island. This is a truly well-thought-out Airbnb, and I have absolutely no regrets choosing it. Thank you again for the delicious rum punch and the thoughtful birthday card—such a lovely personal touch!

This was our first time in Barbados and this property made for a great trip. We would definitely stay there again. Great location right in the middle of all the St Lawrence Gap action and restaurants, but still felt secluded and private when on property. We were greeted at the location when we arrived and given a thorough walk through of the property as well as local recommendations. If you are looking for a place to stay on the south coast look no further!

Stunning apartment, with ocean views from every room. Amazing layout for 2 couples, with basically 2 suites. Unbeatable st Lawrence gap location and lovely host. Plus a little pool, just as cool as you didn't know you needed! Many thanks for have us. It was wonderful, a dream vacation.

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.
