Beachfront vacation rentals in Freights Bay

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.

We had a great time at Jacqueline's place. The place is comfortable and peaceful at a great location near the sea. There garden is nice with shade from the trees and we enjoyed the ocean view from the sofa. Very friendly and helpful host. It is recommended to have a rental car to move around, because the place is not close to the popular beaches, supermarkets and markets. Overall it is a great place to stay!

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.

Zeema and Paul have been extremely nice, welcoming and helpful. They gave us so many recomendations and tips to help us have the best few days of holiday. They had a last minute cancellation in one of the better studios and they upgraded our room free of charge. Great hosts, would definetely recommend and would come back!

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

Everything you could want in a vacation place. Quiet beachfront out the back door and local exploration out the front door. Snorkel with turtles literally out your door or hop on a “boogie bus” and go touring to nearby beaches and restaurants! The place was beyond my expectations!

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!!!

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.

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.

Keisha was very available. She made sure to touch base with us multiple times before we arrived in Barbados. Once we got to the Airbnb she was super welcoming. Gave us a tour of the place and gave us recommendations for local stores/ restaurants and taxis! She also gave us little cupcakes because it was my girlfriend’s birthday! When we come back to barbados we will definitely be coming back here! Would recommend to anyone wanting a safe house near the beach and oistins fish fry!

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!!

Sean and Akilah were amazing hosts. They made our already lovely stay even better. They’re communicative, friendly, easy going. We loved their apartment and the pool. It was exactly what we wanted for our stay. Lots of things were walkable, it’s close to some lovely beaches and it’s near to buses so really easy to get around. A great find. Thanks so much!

Kevin was an excellent host, always available and responsive about questions we had as well as many recommendations for things to do/places to see. We were pleasantly surprised that the balcony was bigger than it looked in the pictures. You cannot beat the view of having a private balcony literally on the beach. The beach in front of the apartment did have lots of seaweed the time of year we went so we didn't spend too much time in the water there, but Carlisle Bay is a short 15 min drive away for the perfect lazy beach days we all wish to have on vacation. Carlisle bay also has excellent snorkeling if you bring your own gear and don't mind a leisurely 100yd swim or so to get to the shipwrecks. Having the waves as a natural sound machine made every night pleasant and restful as well as having AC in the bedrooms to keep it nice and cool. We highly recommend renting a car vs using public transport so you can have a lot more freedom to roam the island on your own time.

Had a wonderful time at White Sands Resort. Place was exactly as described, clean, and all amenities as described. Rented a car for the week….free parking included made the decision to rent an easy one. Beach chairs always available, and although the beachfront is small(ish), we never felt crowded. Lots of restaurants and shops, all within walking distance. We highly recommend WSR as a vacation rental. Cyrus and Liam were most helpful and courteous!

The air conditioning worked great! The house was very clean and the house amenities were on point. The Bay Garden is a 10 minute walk away. Just make sure coming back to the house you get on ZR van #11.

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.

Nice place to stay at, was clean and the front desk was very friendly. Location nice as you’re right by the beach. I will say the amenities are up to date and well taken care of but you’re right by a street and other neighbors surrounding. Didn’t bother me and I got sleep but if you’re hearing sensitive would be aware.

Great location and an adorable place in a calmer part of the island. Perfect for a week long getaway. Ideal for somewhere with a view of the water.

We stayed at Rachel’s beautiful waterfront property in Barbados for nearly three weeks, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The view was absolutely breathtaking — waking up to the ocean every morning was a dream come true. Rachel was an outstanding host with incredibly fast and thoughtful communication throughout our stay. She made everything seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a relaxing, scenic escape with a host who genuinely cares!

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!
