Beachfront vacation rentals in Martins Bay

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.

This is such an awesome location! It literally overlooks the "Soup Bowl" and that is why we wanted to go to this area. Known as one of the most sought after surf spots in the world. We fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing and breeze flowing through the house. There are a mix of restaurants and cafes dispersed throughout the town so you can stay and explore. Bathsheba grew on us more and more with each and every day and we will absolutely be back to visit when the stars align again.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

Highly recommend! Jo the host is phenomenal and went above and beyond to ensure our stay went well. She was very quick to respond and provided so many great recommendations for us. We could not have asked for a better host. The area is wonderful, we were very comfortable the entire time, and we had everything you would want. Bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room, patio are all great! Very clean and super spacious. Jo’s extra efforts would make me feel beyond comfortable staying here again with my family or in any other listing she had. Thank you Jo!

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!

Wow what a great place to stay, everything that you would need, fantastic location on a quiet street but only a small walk to the local restaurants. The place was spotlessly clean, plenty of hot water for showers, air con in bedrooms is a plus and the pool is perfect size to cool off in. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this accommodation and if we return to Barbados I would rebook in a heartbeat.

Beautiful place in a gorgeous location! The host is responsive and welcoming, and provides very helpful information on the location and complex that’s readily available inside the unit. The place is extremely clean with all the things that one might need during your stay, including dishes, towels, pots/pans, etc.; all of these things are a good quality and a great condition. I highly recommend this place and Lisa as a host!

We had a amazing time staying at this property. The location couldn’t be more perfect— just steps from the sand, with calm, crystal-clear water and some of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve ever seen. Everything was exactly as described (or better!), and the space was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for a relaxing getaway. Shops, restaurants, and everything we needed were within walking distance. Highly recommend stopping by Saint Lawrence Gap which is just a short walk away from the property, as well as The Worthing Square across the street for some amazing local food. The area felt peaceful and safe. The host was responsive, helpful, and made sure we had everything for an stress-free stay. Highly recommended— can’t wait to go back!

Location is great in terms of amenities- Rubis just opposite; next to local bus stop; short walks to either mullins beach & the great house beach at the other end. Speightstown is only a short bus ride away, with the lovely PRC bakery, The Caboose and Heywood beach which were all great. The property itself was spacious and as described- we especially appreciated the large back patio- have most of our meals overlooking the beautiful sea view & sunsets! Equally we really appreciated the amenities Ana has to offer- the washing machine & dryer; the floaties, life jackets and snorkelling gear etc. I’m going to put a few things here which I think might be helpful We are a small family- mum, dad and toddler (3): - The traffic outside is REALLY loud- often late eve. Large vehicles drive by- whole house shakes- v busy road/watch child! - very rocky at the base of the back steps- we didn’t swim directly from here - no AC in the main living space- so hot! -pick up app- unreliable in location

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!!

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone considering a visit to Barbados to book here. Gregory gave us clear instructions was a great communicator. A very short walk through the gate in the backyard and you are on pristine Carlisle Bay. There were beach chairs & an umbrella reserved each day for our use. We are confident swimmers and each day we snorkeled out to the 2 closest shipwrecks and swam with fish, turtles & stingrays. No need to pay the $$ local tours we’re charging. Nolan is the “beach guy” and he has masks, snorkels, fins, vests, flotation devices etc if needed. Gregory has lived in Barbados for many years and sent us useful links to many restaurants as well as trusted taxi drivers. At sunset we could have a chat & drink with Gregory in the gazebo which is perfectly positioned. The property also had a fire stick with channels from all over the world easily accessible.

This place was sooo peaceful and relaxing. The beaches are white sand and so blue. It is a public beach but I definitely felt like I had a 2km beach all to myself. The neighbors and neighborhood are full of friendly folks. Many restaurants and activities are within a short drive. The place itself is very clean with a terrific kitchen and kitchen peninsula. Nice patio for drinking coffee in the morning, having drinks in the afternoon and enjoying the sunset in the evening. I highly recommend this spot. Kimberly is very responsive, friendly and helpful. I was looking for a paddle board to rent and she was able to find one for me (delivered) on short notice.

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!

This Airbnb was amazing! very clean, spacious, and exactly what we were looking for. We chose it for the location, and it exceeded expectations. It’s right on the beach and just a 5 minute walk to Paradise Beach. The area is quiet and peaceful, with hardly anyone around, so it feels like your own private beach. The water is clear, the sand is clean, and there’s even a shower to rinse off after the beach. A few friendly neighbors may pass by, but it’s mostly serene. You definitely need a car, which we had no regrets there. Driving around Barbados and exploring the island was such a great part of our experience. Just a heads-up: there are whistling frogs at night, so it can get noisy, but we had no issue sleeping. Overall, a fantastic stay in a perfect location.
