Oistins is a coastal area in Barbados. It is primarily a fishing village and a good hangout spot for tourists. It has a lot of bars, rum shops, and, of course, shopping centers. Oistins originated from the name Austin. However, it was corrupted since the original Austin is a mean bad personality. His infamy grew and he was hated by the people. The people of Oistins have grown a tradition where both tourists and locals alike join together every Friday night, sometimes even Saturday night, for fish fry and lime. It is a social gathering of sorts. That being said, here are the best Vrbo vacation rentals in Oistins, you can stay at for the night.

Enjoy everything Oistins has to offer
Originating from the name of a lewd drunkard, Austin, the city renamed itself Oistins. Ironically, the place is an amazing coastal city and filled with wonderful bars, rum shops, and shopping districts. In addition to that, it also has beautiful views of the ocean. Oistins is a perfect hangout spot for tourists.
