    LindaCee Short Vacation Stay in Antigua

    I like everything but I had to pay taxi for everything. I sleep with a CPAP machine and had to unplug other things to connect my bedside CPAP machine and plug to charge up my cellphone at the same times. So, I thought that it would have been good if the studio room had better, easier or more plug connections. The strip wouldn't take all either because it was too small or because different plugs are shaped differently on the ends. Still enjoyed my stay and would stay again if I come back again. The grocery store was around 5-10 minutes away. The hot food at the grocery store was very good. Ms Sally is the best. She showed me around, explain the history about this and that but I wished that I could have gone to the beach side and walk around a little. Driving is on the opposite side of the road from the US, so I didn't want to rent a car, not use to that. The money exchange was confusing but it was easy to Use US dollars. I recommend this Airbnb Cottages.

    The staff, Ms Bernadette and Ms Sally treated me like family away from home. My first time from the US to Antigua. Ms Bernadette and Ms Sally, understood that I didn't know the local culture and was very polite, patient in communicating by explaining everything that was understandable for me. I had everything that I needed for the room minus paper towels for kitchenette. The Ocean view was breathtaking for me and the environment was very peaceful. The many plants and flowers surrounding the home was very beautiful. My vacation was short but next time if I get the chance to come back then I will know more about what to do and expect. I enjoyed the Netflix movies.

    No complaints!

    It was a really good location but you need a car! The garden was lovely. The owner was really helpful and recommended a really good car hire and other activities. The lady who came every day was also really friendly and helpful. It was also very good value for money. It was a perfect base to explore the island. The WiFi was also fantastic.

    The host Bernadette was lovely. We enjoyed our relaxing stay and the studio had all we need for cooking. The view of the garden was lovely and the short coconut tree in the garden was a bonus. We had a great time swimming with the sting rays.

    The mosquitoes but dealt with using bug spray and air conditioning to keep them at bay. The same can’t be said when out and about.

    Self catering. Unfortunately due to natural insect life cockroaches and ants welcome food/drink to carry through to first day was not available but understandable. An airtight storage box might allow coffee/tea/sugar/powdered milk to be stored prior to guest/s arriving. The location was very quiet with a couple of noisy evenings one until 8pm (the bird next door which talks) and loud music until 1:45am on just the one occasion. The view is fabulous. Parking is available if renting a car.

    The room details said that I would have a sea view when I did not. The kitchen sink was tiny. The TV did not offer live channels.

    Being located next to Stingray City and able to get a discount on their tours. The facility of a shared washing machine. The peace and quiet of the location.

    The first room I was in had a horrid odor. When I mentioned it to the owner he moved me to the beautiful suite and dealt with the odor. He said it was coming from the refrigerator. It was room 5. Hopefully it is now fixed. A car rental is essential if staying in this location.

    The garden and the outside sitting areas were peaceful and pretty. The manager and staff were very helpful and kind. The second room I had was an apartment and it was perfect. Even had a balcony overlooking the bay.

    Is a modest, basic accommodation but considering the prices on this island is good value for money.

    Located next to Stingray City, they have a significant guest discount for Stingray experience, if you have a car the location is grate as a base to explore the island.

    The room sheets were not really clean. Had stains on the side. The mosquitos was a little annoying. A few of the silver ware were kind of rusted or some brown stain.

    I like the location close to water and not far from Long Bay beach and Devil's island Bridge. Inlike the room. The stove i used to cook. Not far from the local store. Bout a 15 min walk. Close to sting ray city. Swim with the sting rays. I will book again . The housing manager Melissa was very helpful. Hertz canceled at the last minute and she got me a car the next day. Thanks. Beautiful island

    The furniture itself is quite old and would benefit a renovation, such as the windows. there are noises from animals and other people that can disturb sometimes at night. for us it was fine to take the car every day but you should be prepared to rent it otherwise it’s not possibile to do anything a part the trip to sting ray

    Local experience in Antigua, with a very welcoming lady (Melissa) that organized everything we might need during our stay, and was always smiling and nice. the position near the sea is nice even if the description on Booking reports it’s 100 mt from the beach which is not true. there is no beach there and you need a car to go anywhere…

    had issues with water and there pump . ideally if you stay here rent a car the plus of it being quiet means you need a car to get around , to be honest I would advise this wherever you stay thanks to the layout of the island

    nice quiet area was upgraded to a bigger flat without being charged any extra . was basic in furniture but the flat was very clean
