Villa holiday rentals in Gibbes Beach

We just returned from 6 absolutely gorgeous, sun-soaked days at Villa Sunkiss and we’re already dreaming about going back. From the moment we arrived, the villa took our breath away. Every room was thoughtfully curated with an elegant, beachy Caribbean vibe that made us feel instantly relaxed and at home. The kitchen was a dream—fully equipped and just perfect. But the real magic was the beautifully maintained, super comfortable outdoor space with jaw-dropping views of the water from every angle. The only tiny downside was that the sea wall stairs had been taken out by a hurricane last year, so direct swimming access from the property wasn’t possible. The location overall couldn’t be better—just steps to the lively St. Lawrence Gap and despite being close to the action, the neighborhood felt peaceful, safe, and super friendly. Cathy our host was fantastic and always available by text. This was the kind of stay that sticks with you long after you leave and we can't wait to come back!

The house was in a lovely location to experience the local culture. It is a friendly community of Vila’s with very friendly people. A short walk to the beach and a short drive to Batts Rock beach which is one of my favourite on the island. This villa is perfect to escape the high tourism of Holetown and Bridgetown.

We had a wonderful two-week stay at the villa. It is perfectly situated, only a few minutes walk to the beach and bars/restaurants - but tucked away on a residential street so it’s quiet (aside from the cockerel in the morning!). The air con was very effective. The place was spotless, and the host was very responsive to any queries. 10/10 would recommend! If you stay here be sure to take the short cut through the back garden gate to Park Cafe for an excellent coffee and breakfast!

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

We had the best stay at Mariam’s. The house is beautiful - the photos really don’t do it justice. Mariam went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, and was so quick to communicate. The location was great - close to everything we needed whilst still feeling private and quiet. Sometimes by the pool we could hear the sounds of the neighbourhood, but we were never disturbed. We did enjoy the company of a very friendly cat, who would sometimes visit while we were by the pool. Amanda and Desmond were on hand and were brilliant. One evening the gas bottle of the BBQ ran out during cooking. However Mariam had this rectified by the time we even awoke the next morning. We’ll definitely be back - it’s a beautiful house. Thank you!

Barry’s place was everything we hoped for and more. The house is spacious, spotless, and well-maintained, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook like you’re at home. Kyle was a superstar host; friendly, incredibly communicative, and always one step ahead of our needs. Naz was equally awesome, greeting us with local tips that made our stay even better. And Barry himself was a breeze to coordinate with from the first message to checkout; fast replies and genuine care throughout. We can’t recommend Barry’s place enough!

Quiet, beautiful spot on the south end of the island. Great, private view of the beach and mangroves from sprawling gardens. Occasional monkey visitors. Practical kitchen with needed equipment. Good ac in bedrooms. Giant sliding door for the main room. Strong WiFi in office and most of house and immediate deck (occasionally unstable but think that’s island issue). 15 min to grocery store. Most higher end restaurants and resort beaches on northwest coast 30 min+. Short walk down to beach - rough not swimmable but beautiful. Host was the most helpful we’ve ever had with Airbnb. Helped with all kinds of activity / reservations (for a nominal fee).

Regina was a fantastic host! The space was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable—exactly as described, if not better. She was warm, responsive, and made sure everything was perfect for my stay. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches and attention to detail. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend her place to anyone visiting the area!

Had the most amazing stay. The location of the villa was 10/10. To wake up and hear the waves splashing was wonderful. Would highly recommend and would return. Xxx

Wonderful place right on the water. Even more beautiful than the pictures show. The chef was absolutely amazing. The food she prepared was amazing! If you’re looking for a nice getaway to get a real taste of Barbados, I would highly recommend this place. If you’re renting a car, be advised that parking is a little tight.

I stayed with seven of my students and my colleague and it was perfect. We loved walking to the reef to do marine biology, going on the roof to star gaze and do math lessons, and the pool for the kids to unwind. I loved that the doors locked automatically so I didn’t have to worry about the kids each needing a key or forgetting to lock the doors. There was an area for us to gather as a group and the kitchen was large so more than one person could cook. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful stay at Ruth's place! The property was beautiful- a brand new house with upgraded finishes and beautiful pool with a great outdoor living space. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed. Full laundry capability was helpful with young children. The AC kept the entire house cool when we needed it. This is important because Barbados is hot and humid even at nighttime. We appreciated the groceries that were provided on arrival, which is helpful after a flight when you are too tired to venture out to shop. Housekeeping was provided twice during the week and the pool was cleaned several times by staff when we were there. If we come back to Barbados, we would love to stay at Ruth's place again!

We had a fantastic time at the Sweet Spot villa. Between the easy access to the beach and private pool, there was plenty to keep everyone entertained. The community is beautiful and there was ample space for our family of 11. It was also a huge plus to have bathrooms in each bedroom when getting ready each day. Todne was very helpful in getting our questions answered. Unfortunately, internet is spotty (which caused delays in communicating in general). It would have been helpful to have had some instructions regarding the house earlier (re: how to get ‘hot’ water, work the door locks, registering etc.) but we figured it out eventually. Overall, we had a wonderful time.

Beautiful villa! Spent a few days here to celebrate my girlfriend’s 28th birthday and it was everything we could’ve imagined! The view is amazing, barbados is such a lovely place. Everyone is so kind and helpful. Thank you for helping me put together a personal chef for the birthday girl! The villa was so amazing we didn’t want to leave. Can’t wait to come back!

A really lovely 4 bedroom home with stunning views from upstairs balconies. The housekeeper was also excellent and waited up to meet us on arrival when we were delayed. It’s location is perfect just behind Mullins Beach and also felt very secure. Highly recommended and hope we can return one day.

Wow, we hit the jackpot with Phillipa's place! This awesome villa is super spacious and tucked among beautiful tropical trees, with an amazing pool right there. Everything was spot-on perfect! Phillipa was such a great host, too. This was our first Barbados trip and we're so glad we found this gem. It worked out perfectly for vacationing with our little ones. The house has all the necessary amenities to make it a home away from home. And the beach? Just a quick walk away! Definitely grab a rental car though - it's the best way to check out all the cool spots around the island. We loved this house and would stay again in a heartbeat!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

If you’re looking for a private quiet spacious space to relax, unwind and rest then Ridge View is perfect. Everything is just as described- From the view on the back veranda to bathing by the pool, doing our laundry under the sun, we had everything we needed and really felt at home and at peace. Mauva, who manages the villa, was always available and checked we were ok from time to time. The air fryer really came in handy too, but if you don’t feel like cooking there’s a place called the ocho ríos bullpen about 10min drive away- we LOVED their take on fish and chips! Would defo recommend and would defo stay here again. Thank you so much Sylvia & Mauva

The house is absolutely beautiful & so close to Mullins beach & some fantastic restaurants & bars. The house has everything you need, it is clean, tidy & very spacious! We loved having the house pool & the main pool is great with a bar area & comfy sun beds! Marcia & Peter were both lovely & easy to contact. Great stay!

The place is bigger than the pictures so much space inside and outside. Very peaceful and loves the sound of the sea at night. Would stay there again.

This is our second stay at Karen's place and we have absolutely loved it. It has felt like a home from home and we find the energy of the place so uplifting and so peaceful. This beautiful villa is a short walk away from breathtaking beaches, glorious sunsets and friendly bars. We truly wouldn't want to stay anywhere else and Karen is absolutely wonderful to communicate is; as is Crystal the villa's lovely agent. Thank you Karen for another unforgettable holiday xx

WOW what a wonderful 2 weeks we have spent in this amazing place. The house is surrounded by lush greenery. We saw families of monkeys and butterflies through the garden daily. Claudia the house keeper looked after us during our stay, she couldn’t do enough for us. Andrew was always available as and when we needed and he’s banana bread is superb. Thank you all for making our stay so special 🙂

We had a wonderful eight day stay. The Villa was perfect for our family of four and had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. David was very friendly and helpful. The property was beautiful and peaceful. The villa was even nicer than the pictures portrayed.

A lovely stay with 2 young kids. plenty of space, pool was great, enjoyed local beaches a short walk away. We ate in a bit but also enjoyed local places to eat just a couple of mins walk away. Nick was responsive and flexible making check-in and check out very straightforward! Thank you!

Green Monkey is an lovely, spacious well-equipped apartment and it is hard to find a more excellent location . The compound is very pretty and well-kept with a lovely pool and lots of greenery. Kerry was a wonderful host, communicating with us before and during to ensure everything was going well. Mullins is just footsteps away and such a lovely beach to spend the days on. We truly had one of the best vacations ever.
