Very clean and well equipped home.Host is very helpful and answers quickly to our inquiries.Outstanding view on the ocean and great accessibility to the beach. Beautiful sunsets!!!Rooms’ air conditioning units works very well.Very private.
Amazing stay right on the West Coast beach! We (adult group of 4) had everything we needed. 2 big en suite rooms, lovely living area and kitchen. The absolute best thing was the outside space where we watched so many sunsets during our visit. No issues at all with the aircon. We loved it so much we are already planning our return visit. Loved it!
Tranquil and RelaxingWe absolutely enjoyed our stay and we’re very grateful we had a couple weeks to do so. Everything was as described, close proximity to restaurants, both local and upscale, as close to the water as you can possibly get. There are so many swimmable beaches, both in front and seconds away. We would walk to the supermarket on the beach and then cut up to town which I highly recommend in the heat! This home is inviting and spacious, and I would recommend to anyone who needs to sit back relax and take a break from everyday stress. Thanks again Chloe for sharing your home with all of us travelers. We will be back!
The property was very clean, very well appointed. It has an ideal location , with that beautiful water at your doorstep! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would love to come back if the place is ever available. I think we just lucked out this visit! Highly recommend, and our host Chloe, replied immediately for any questions. We had no issues ! Loved it

Liked: Check-in, location
It has been a toss up between 3 or 4 star rating, good points large house comfortable beds, good ac, lots of hot water, great wifi, lots of kitchen appliances and of course location on the beach, not so good, kitchen units need replacing, doors poorly fitting and very old, cooking grease down side of unit and no markings on cooker dial and cooker isolation switch faulty, tiles on floor broken and could cause personal damage. Bedroom door expanded and unable to close properly. AC unit in smaller bed room slightly on noisy side. Steps down to garden need rendering, very rough and uneven,fence in garden broken down needs repairing. Although this may seem negative a little maintenance and a new kitchen would make this a little gem
The house is in a perfect location. Easy walk into the ocean if you have dive shoes, you can also walk about 2 min down the beach in either direction to sandy walk in areas. The snorkeling in front of the house is great, lots of marine life and we even saw a turtle. AC in the bedrooms is good, no AC in the living room/kitchen area of the house and it does get quite warm so keep the windows open and the fan pointed to you. Only downside to having the windows open is the mosquitos that come in. We bought citronella candles and a bug light...that helped a lot (bug light was left at the house for future guests). My suggestion is to keep the bedroom doors closed at all times and windows closed to keep those areas bug free - turn on the AC about an hour before going to bed and the room temp is perfect. LOTS of birds around the balcony and the little ones like to get into the house... watch your bread and other goodies left on the counters lol. They were actually a treat to have as balcony buddies.
The property is a jewel. Location is right on the beach- literally! During high-tide the waves splash onto the backyard. It is not a modern villa, it feels like being at a relative's home. It is fully equipped with everything. The house gets warm in the living room area, as AC is only in the bedrooms. I enjoyed my time here- definitely will book again. You can not beat the view and beach at your feet...

St James is the nicest spot on Barbados
We enjoyed the easy access to the beach and the house's proximity to Holetown beach bars and restaurants. The place is nicely cared for and well priced.

Hi Buck, thanks for your kind comments. We were very happy to have you stay with us! Thanks again!
Ocean Hollow is simply lovely and my favorite accommodation in Barbados! Amazing location with a gate right out to the sea. Walking distance to Jordan's supermarket and several local restaurants! The property manager, Chloe, is a gem!
It was the perfect home right by the water so have a peaceful trip! Chloe was great to communicate with and helped us with any questions or recommendations
We had a fabulous week at Ocean Hollow. The property was fantastic inside and just as described. But the photos didn't do the location justice - it's right on the beach with the waves coming up the the gate at high tide. The views were stunning witand there was lots to do within a 10 minute walk.
The house is absolutely fantastic and has everything that you need for a fun holiday. The kitchen was very well stocked and the freezer /fridge fantastic( ice in buckets) The location is right on the beach. The only minus point is the coral in front but a short walk brings you to good sandy beach.
All in all we had a fantastic stay and I cant give enough praise for your place Chloe.
Beautiful property right on the beach. Clean and well taken care of. Chloe was extremely easy to communicate with. Great snorkeling right from the beach.
We had a very nice stay. Lot's of keys to lock and unlock when you come and go, but got used to that pretty quickly. Internet was great, view could not be better. Kitchen well stocked so cooking was easy. Loved the trees on the property. Met the owners and they were helpful and delightful.
Great location for our first visit to Barbados.
The house has everything you need and with bus stops just outside it's easy to get around without the use of a car.
Although not the most modern property it is clean and comfortable, at a great price.
Chloe the host was very helpful and replied immediately to any enquiries we had.
Would definitely recommend Ocean Hollow for your stay in Barbados.
Fantastic location right on the beach. The bungalow is clean, well maintained and well furnished and kitchen has all that you need for adventurous cooking and cocktail making.
If you’re not a sun worshiper, the mature trees provide and large veranda provide plenty of shade during the heat of day and a superb frame to the spectacular sunsets.
The beach is never crowded. Bikini Beach Bar is 200m to the south and provides great snacks & drinks during the day and a full menu in the evenings. To the north is Crystal Cove where you can do all the usual water sports if desired.
Just back from our 2 week Christmas & New Year stay at Ocean Hollow. Beautiful, clean and well equipped house. The bedrooms are spacious, air conditioned with comfy beds and good size en suites in each. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Wifi is strong with plenty of charging points for all your electrical bits & bobs. Having said all that, the real star is the outside space. Lovely veranda for BBQ's, garden with sunloungers and then there's the view. Stunning does not do it justice. Sunrises, sunsets and everthing in between as though painted by Monet himself. A very special place.Wifi is good, penty of charging points
Just returned from our second stay in this property. What a location, right on the beach (literally) as the sea comes up to the gate!
Value for money you would be hard pushed to get a more idyllic position. Ocean Hollow is a very spacious property with 2 large air conditioned en suite bedrooms, an open plan sitting room/dining area and a kitchen. The beds are very comfortable and the sofas are more comfortable than the ones we have at home! A car isn't essential but we hired one this time and it gave us much more flexibility for eating out and getting to a bigger supermarket. Buses are readily available and cheap but having seen how fast they are driven we decided to give those a miss!
Chloe is an excellent host and responds immediately to any contact.
We stayed at Ocean Hollow for 16 days in June 2023 and had such a great experience. The house is a cute beach cottage and is literally steps from the sea…just open the back gate and you are on the beach! The two bedrooms are comfortable, quite large and both have en suite bathrooms one w king bed and one w queen bed. Both bedrooms have air conditioning units that work very well. The indoor living area is comfortable but the best area to hang out in the evening is the back patio which is spacious with ceiling fans and has comfortable furniture. The kitchen is well equipped and the washer/dryer are so nice to have, especially when you stay for a longer period. Parking by the house is private and spacious and parks about 4 cars comfortably. Chloe, the Property Manager, is great and provides very detailed info and is available if you need her and is super responsive.
Can’t wait for our next stay at Ocean Hollow ☺️

What we were looking for
We have rented flats and houses on this site and others throughout Europe and North America and consider ourselves savvy renters. The holiday rental experience is a cocktail consisting of 1 part diligent research, 1 part good two way communication and 1 part pure leap of faith. When you get what you expect based on photos, reviews and owner feedback, that's success. Our 7 night stay at Ocean Hollow turned out to be what we were seeking and what we expected. Our key requirement was to be beachfront and Ocean Hollow's location on the west side of the island met that requirement - in spades. We spent many relaxing hours eating meals, reading our books and watching the surf on the comfortable deck metres from the ocean. Others have noted that getting in for a swim is a "rocky" experience. My partner is a capable swimmer and diver and had no difficulty (bring water shoes); but if you are seeking endless beach days swimming off a sandy beach and baking in the sun, stick to an all-inclusive. If instead you are looking for a private, quiet, well-furnished self-catered experience, with the ability to visit lovely restaurants (you will need a car, be willing to take taxis, or take local buses as we often did) this house if for you. We enjoyed our week immensely. Bonus points given for: helpful and lovely interactions with Chloé, outdoor hot shower, washer/dryer/, lightning fast wifi, big screen TV to watch the Academy Awards, the incredibly gracious and helpful locals, and more. Constructive feedback to owners: It may be time for a small cash outlay for some additional kitchen basics (tools and staples), new linens, firmer and newer mattresses, better kitchen and bathroom lighting, and yes, please think about doing something about those treacherous master bathroom stairs, as one reviewer pointed out. Thank you!
