Barbados is a paradise for tourists, and it’s no wonder that it’s become such a popular destination. The island country is known for its beaches and resorts, but it also has a lot more to offer than just hanging out by the pool or sipping cocktails at one of its many bars and restaurants. Take a day trip to Bridgetown, the nation’s capital, and explore the city’s historic district. If you’re looking to kick back in a serene garden full of colorful plants and trees, then drop by Hunte’s Gardens. Tourists who enjoy cave tours should explore Harrison’s Cave. In addition to tourist destinations, Barbados has plenty of short-term rentals. For a brief yet restful holiday, continue reading for details about the best short-term rentals in Barbados.
