Grenada Vacation Rentals

Thinking of swapping crowds for turquoise water, fragrant spice markets and sleepy seaside villages? Grenada is a compact Caribbean gem where vacation rentals, from beachfront cottages to hillside apartments make it easy to live like a local. This guide will help you choose the right neighborhood, find the best rental style, and get the most from your stay.

Where to base yourself

Grand Anse / St. George’s, Grand Anse is the island’s best-known beach: a two-mile stretch of soft sand, calm swimming and plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, making it the top choice for families and beach lovers. Many Grenada vacation rentals (apartments, condos, beachfront villas) cluster here for convenient access to the sea and town amenities.

Lance Aux Épines & Spice Island Marina, Quiet, upscale, and only a short drive from the airport, this area suits couples and renters who want modern villas and easy boat access (great for day charters and deep-sea fishing). Rental platforms list many quality homes here.

St. George’s Town — If you want a walkable base close to markets, historic sites, and the harbor, choose a guesthouse or apartment in the capital. It’s lively, photogenic, and handy for ferries and local life.

Carriacou & Petite Martinique — For an off-grid, island-hopping vibes, look at rentals on these sister isles. They’re quieter, with simpler accommodation options and a distinctly local culture.

What kinds of rentals you’ll find

Grenada’s rental options are various, including modest seaside studios, family-friendly 2-3 bedroom apartments, luxury villas with private pools and staff, and eco-cabins nestled in rainforest hills. Booking platforms and local villa specialists both present alternatives in various price ranges; Airbnb, VRBO, and local agencies are active and display current availability.

Practical travel bits

Getting there: Most international flights arrive at Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND), just south of St. George’s. Taxis and rental cars are readily available at the airport.

Money & payments: Grenada uses the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD). USD is widely accepted in tourist areas but it’s handy to have some local currency for markets and remote spots. ATMs and card payments are common in larger towns.

When to go: Peak season runs mid-December through April (driest weather and best beach conditions). Shoulder months like May or early December can offer fewer crowds and better rates. Hurricane season is June to November, with peak activity typically in late summer, if you travel then, buy travel insurance and monitor forecasts.

Rental-booking tips

• Book early for high season. December–March fills fast, especially for beachfront villas.
• Read recent reviews. Look for comments about water pressure, generator backup (useful during storms), Wi-Fi if you plan to work remotely, and proximity to a grocery store.
• Consider a car. If you want to explore waterfalls, spice farms and beaches beyond Grand Anse, renting a car gives you flexibility. Narrow, hilly roads favor experienced drivers.
• Check cancellation & storm policies. During the hurricane season, flexible policies and travel insurance matter.

Things to do nearby

Snorkel or dive the Molinière Underwater Sculpture Park, a one-of-a-kind conservation destination; enjoy jungle walks to waterfalls; visit spice estates and chocolate factories; and go sailing or island hopping for a day. Grenada combines exciting outdoor activities with leisurely beach days.

Local tips to make your rental feel like home

• Shop local: Visit the St. George’s market for fresh fruit, spices and friendly sellers.
• Eat like a local: Try oil-down, callaloo, and street-side roti. Small restaurants near rental areas often serve the best flavors.
• Be respectful: Granadians are warm and proud of their island, polite greetings and supporting local businesses go a long way.
• Environment: Save water and power where possible—many rentals are eco-conscious and the island sometimes has limited resources.

Grenada’s vacation rental market allows you to adapt your trip to your preferences, whether you choose beachside luxury, economical family apartments, or rugged rainforest hideaways. With some careful consideration of season, location, and booking details, you might find a place that seems more like your own island home than a hotel. Are you ready to start searching?
