Cottage vacation rentals in Saint John's

First time staying in Antigua and this was the perfect base to explore the area around English Harbour. Gay was super helpful and the bed on the balcony was magical. Thank you for a precious start to our holiday.

It's a great place for a holiday. We felt like we were in a 5-star hotel in our cottage with a beautiful view of the bay. Or more accurately, at home. Everything is very well thought out and comfortable. Nathan is a wonderful host, met us with a welcome pack so we had everything we needed for breakfast the next day. We wanted a real holiday, so that's what we got. Sea, sun, hiking and great food. By the way, the beach bar menu is very good if you don't want to cook. I would love to return to Moondance for a longer stay.

Stunning location, beautiful beach, one nice beach restaurant. Lovely cottage with a gorgeous view. Clare and Nathan were very helpful hosts. We have a toddler and they made sure extra railings were added to the balcony to make it safe for her. They even included a welcome package of food items for breakfast etc which is a lovely touch :-) and a cleaner is on hand every day too which is another added bonus. Would definitely recommend!

This location was perfect for my kids and I. Walkable amazing snorkeling and amazing natural features of the island. The garden surrounding the house had lots of fun and cute critters to discover. Location is everything especially when traveling with children. This place is amazing.

I was thinking of giving Merlin House a negative review so that no one else would go there and we could keep it a secret. Instead I’m going to say that this is one of the best AirBnB’s we have stayed at, and absolutely unbeatable for views. Nathan’s hospitality was superb, the location is stunning and peaceful. A better place to relax and enjoy I can’t think of.

We had a wonderful stay in this super-charming cottage. Location is great, surrounded by nature but also a 10-minute drive to several nice restaurants. Satriece was very helpful and accommodating. The southern part of the island is the most beautiful and great for hiking. The cottage is hot during the day but cools down at night, we had no problem with sleeping. It's advisable to rent a steady car as the road is not the best. We really recommend staying here if you want to explore beautiful Antigua!

My family and I stayed here for 7 days and had a great experience. Sitting out on the balcony and watching the sea was amazing. Our Host Mr. Curtis was the best!! He was friendly and very responsive. A storm came and fried the tv. He came and changed it out immediately. Additionally when we had car troubles and needed gas, I called to see if he could help. He quickly sent someone to bring us gas and it was such a life saver. I’m not a fan of the steep hill, however my family and I would def stay here again, solely because of how great Mr. Curtis was!

It is hard to express in words what an amazing time I had here. The host/s where so welcoming friendly and helpful. I felt right at home as soon as I arrived. The place is so lovely and the surrounding amazing and so beautiful. The fabulous Darkwood beach restaurant with friendly helpful staff and beach attendants an few minuets walk away. I will be returning and soon.

Had a great stay at this lovely place in Falmouth. Very quiet and peaceful but a short drive into English Harbour and well located for the rest of the island. Very nicely kitted out and the bottle of wine and water in the American fridge was a very welcome addition after a long journey. A/C worked brilliantly and beds were comfortable. Easy and quick comms with Bobby too. Overall a great stay and would return without question. Thanks guys.

Pascal ( the owner) took brilliant care of me. Felt like at home. The surrounding is beautiful you can easily go for a walk or to Darkwood Beach nearby. Very close are Crabs Beach and Turners. Sandra’s Restaurant around the corner is a beautiful place to eat if you want to go out. If taking a car it’s good to hire a Jeep. Streets in Antigua are in a bad condition and there are lots of potholes. The next supermarket is in Jolly Harbour, just a 2 minute drive. Since everything is very expensive in Antigua, it’s good to bring a couple of things from home. On the property were 2 friendly dogs and now even 2 donkeys. I gave them some fruit sometimes. Nearby is a brackish water. Where you can watch the brown pelicans and other birds. All in all a nice place to stay if you don’t need a 5* Luxury Resort and prefer the real Antigua with a warm Welcome even if you want to stay for a longer time. Thanks for All!

We were so lucky to be able to stay at Sonja's fabulous Pinkshack resort! The place is a tropical oasis in a lovely part of Antigua, easy to get to everything with the very convenient jeep rental. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything needed for cooking and relaxing. The cute and delightful doggies (and kitties) were such a bonus and made this experience one of a kind. Sonja went above and beyond our expectations for a host and provided a genuinely fantastic experience from beginning to end. Thank you Sonja for making our time in Antigua so special and memorable.

Place as described. Very nice and helpful staff
