10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful cottage in Antigua

Great stay with beach views and 10 mins walking from Galley Bay beach; we were greeted at the airport by cottage staff who took us to the cottage (following her car) and even showed us the nearest supermarket. We had a great stay here and would recommend to anyone looking for a nice quiet cozy cottage not far from the centre but in its own own nature world

Amazing cottage, I stayed in Breeze by myself. Roomy, breeze through the windows was amazing, view is amazing. Short walk to beach, right down the hill, no beach chairs though. Owners were responsive when I had questions or needs. The driveway is steep and taxi's can not drive up, so just be mindful of that, you gotta lug everything up that so pack accordingly. I had a local that did my driving and tours which allowed me to fully relax. Beautiful island and property. Bed was comfortable! Will definately stay here again!

There was a beautiful view, and very peaceful and quiet . I didn’t like the steep climb up to it every day, but it was worth the view when you got there.

The property is just gorgeous with amazing views. I stayed in the studio cabin. It was clean and nice. I had all kind of birds visit everyday on the porch. There is WIFI but no TV. Bring your laptop to watch TV. My suggestion to the owner is to get a couple of beach chairs for the cabin. The beach is right there but no chairs are provided
Juanita, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

To start Marco was great, he met us at the airport. Then on the way to the property, he showed us the local market. Super helpful & friendly. Property is a little rustic but quaint. Did not want to stay at a resort. At first was a little taken back but warm up to the treehouse after the first night. Would suggest renting a car but you’ll need to be prepared for the locals roads. Only thing we had an issue with was the water pressure but it’s because the island uses cisterns to collect their water, so we learned to deal with it. All in all, we had a fantastic stay. Highly suggest going to Barbuda & checking out their beaches.
Corey, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is not for someone seeking a luxury resort where you get waited on all the time. If you want a beautiful little shabby-chic cottage all to yourself, inside a quiet jungle filled with flowers and nosy birds, within a five minute walk to a gorgeous beach, where you cook for yourself or bring home delicious patties and local produce to cook, and where owner Marco attends to your every need, if you have any -- look no further. My family and I had a fabulous time and, if you have read this far, you probably will too. Some advice: it is best to rent a car and pick up some groceries on the way in, although Marco stocks the place with essentials like towels, paper, coffee, milk, etc. Also, some of the hills around the cottages are steep, and not for those with bad knees or balance issues. Otherwise, you will fall in love with the place. Thank you, Marco!
Theresa Beth, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

We certainly cannot recommend this place. Not sure why the good/decent reviews. Cottage is not kept properly with few if anything working right -- toilet that moves, stovetop doesn't light without match, just wooden windows that doesn't open/close properly. Frog, biting insects (even with coils everywhere), animals noises SO VERY LOUD all night long that it's impossible to sleep with fan, air conditioner, and white noise machine. We had to wear ear plugs AND headset to sleep every night. Can't wait to leave this place. Never again. Sorry! Only good comment is that it's near the beach. We love Galley Bay beach.
SUSAN, 11-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s unfortunate that the Galley Bay Resort that is located just beneath the Galley Bay Cottages is completely off limits and therefore dining is finding local eateries in the area that are not consistent with price, sanitation and food handling. You can access the beach just a walk down the path and it’s gated around the resort, but heaven forbid you touch any chairs! You will be scolded by security who monitors the beach line from the resort. The cabs are limited to 2-3 people who are often already booked to take people around the island so make sure you bring running shoes cause you’ll likely be walking your way around unless you wish to wait for a long while for someone to come to you. The overall cottage was nice, the cleaner came a day before I was leaving so I didn’t get fresh towels all week, and she stole my cigarettes. I had to pay over $100 upon arriving for the cleaning lady. I didn’t make a fuss about it, I just accepted it as it was. I will return to the island but will be making other arrangements that are closer to amenities rather than being placed at one end of the island away from everything. Overall experience from 1-10 was 4.

4/10 Fair

The communication and check in were smooth. Location is alright, 10min walk from the beach, which offers good privacy. Nice touches with sun cream, towels and some basic cooking ingredients (salt, oil, coffee, some cereals, and biscuits). The half-working grill let us cook some fresh fish. There is one parking spot for all cottages, which was great for our rental car, which highly recommend to have if going to this accommodation. The wifi connection is acceptable for a Zoom call. In total honesty, however, we do not understand the good reviews that led us to book this stay. The pictures seem much better than the place actually is. The cottage is little more than a shed which has clearly not been deep cleaned in quite some time. The fridge holders are very rusty, the shower curtain is dirty, and everything is very run down. The mosquito nets have many holes, which is not comforting given we found 8 large cockroaches one night that were walking over the bednet (picture attached), crawling out of various cracks in the cottage. The aircon is partly broken, we had an electricity cut for several hours and the shower is little more than a dribble, which makes cleaning off the beach sand an ordeal. Overall it is not too expensive compared with other stays but really bad value for money. We were hopping around different accommodations in the island and this was by far the worst price to quality ratio. We would strongly recommend anyone to find a better option if available.

8/10 Very good

The Calabash Cottage was perfect for our party of three. It provided privacy while maintaining a sense of community. The garden views were everything we had hoped they'd be. The island sounds were pleasant as was the open-air concept of the cottage. The walk to the beach was literally 3 mins. The properties are perched hillside, which is a bit steep. No biggie. The only drawback is the property refuse location at the base of the hill. Marco was a gracious host and Omar was extremely attentive to our needs. Omar gave us a private tour of the Island along with stops at historical sites. We were all grateful to have met him.

Spacious beach cottage, nestled amongst lush trees and foliage with wrap around deck within a stones throw and walk to Galley Bay Beach. While not a shiny new penny, it has everything you need for a great stay. Communication is excellent with host. Would definitely stay here again!
