Barbados vacation rentals provide a number of options when it comes to choosing accommodation for your Barbados holiday.
For traveling to Barbados on a budget then you can rent an apartment for as little as $50US per night, where you will get a clean but basic apartment, which is ideal if you want to spend your days lazing on the beach and sightseeing.
In the evenings you can eat out at one of the many fish markets, where you can get a great fresh fish meal cooked for you for as little as $10 US. Or you can cook in your apartment, as all self-catering accommodation and most Barbados vacation rentals come with a fully equipped kitchen.
Perhaps you wish to spend a little more on your accommodation, but would still like the convenience of coming and going as you please; if this is the case we would suggest you look at a self-catering apartment within a complex where you will find amenities such as a shared swimming pool, bar and restaurant facilities. This type of accommodation is ideal if you want the feel of a hotel but not the restrictions of set meal times.
Barbados vacation rentals and self-catering apartments vary in size, so you can choose a studio, which is a bedroom with a kitchen and bathroom all self contained within the unit. Or you can choose a one bedroom, which will have a lounge/dining room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. Or you can choose a 2 bedroom, which again will have living accommodation, kitchen, and bathroom.
There are some really nice, well-furnished and well decorated apartments to choose from on the east, south and west coasts of Barbados.
Perhaps you are interested in renting a house for your holiday, there are many options to choose from ranging in price from $170US per night up to $1,000US a night depending on the area that you want to stay in.
There are also delightful but basic houses to rent on the rugged east coast of the island. Here the Atlantic Ocean crashes in and there are miles of sandy beaches for tranquil walks. These houses are a great get away from all the hustle and bustle of the busy south and west coasts; look for Barbados vacation rentals in the surfing area of Bathsheba.
The reason for these houses being so basic is that sea spray erodes fabrics and electronics very quickly so the owners are on a continual maintenance program to keep the houses in good order. This is a great accommodation choice for you to enjoy the dramatic beauty of the east coast but is not for you if you are looking for luxury accommodation.
The best and most expensive vacation rentals in Barbados can be found on the west coast of Barbados, where you can expect beautiful surroundings and luxury accommodation.
On the west coast of Barbados you can rent anything from a studio apartment to a luxury villa or condo. Some of these properties come with a full compliment of staff including cook, maid and security. Some of these luxury villas rent for as little as $500US per night, which is very cost effective if you are traveling in a group or have a large family.
If you planning to have your wedding in Barbados, then renting a villa is a great option to have all your guests under one roof and can be an ideal venue to actually conduct your wedding ceremony. You need to advise the villa owners that you are planning your wedding and they will usually be more than happy to help you, especially in providing the food and staff to serve you. The only draw back with some villas is that they do not allow children under 12 or stipulate that all children must have a nanny.
Barbados has more to offer than just white sandy beaches, blue sea and swaying palm trees; the beauty of Barbados vacation rentals and renting self-catering accommodation is that you actually get to live in Barbados for a few weeks as opposed to just being on holiday.
