Cottage vacation rentals in Saint John's

An very beautiful location and a charming house. The kind of Caribbean cottage you dream about!

This really cute stay makes you feel like you are in a tree house. Lovely huge gallery to relax in not to mention the comfy bed on it! Lovely cool mornings and afternoons spent there! Then there is the hot tub treat in the garden - what more could you want!? The place is nice open plan with a good amount of utensils. There is also a little home made BBQ area, we even ate some of the Caribbean cherries off the surrounding trees! The keyless front door system make is really convenient if your group has different plans as well. The second bedroom is a little tight on overall space but comfortable bed. Ensure to pack mossy spray. Ample number of towels provided for us as well which was a great help. Everyone had a lovely time!

A hidden gem that we’ve visited annually for several years. We wouldn’t trade our week at Twinkle Cottage for anywhere else on the island - and by now we’ve seen a lot! The beach and Loose Cannon Beach Bar are steps away with private cabanas for rent and bottle service, if desired (though the hosts provide beach chairs and a cooler if that’s more your speed. The beach is never crowded. Always beautiful views. And it’s THE SPOT to see sea turtles and spotted eagle rays if you like to snorkel just a few strokes out from the beach and it’s some of the best snorkling on the island. Loads of fantastic restaurants 5-10 min drive in English Harbour. Academy of Rum also right on the beach in front of the cottage if you fancy a class. Rentable kayaks and paddle boards too. Also Sunday night parties at Shirley Heights offer amazing music and dancing with the most stunning views. Not too miss and only a 10 min drive or gorgeous 1 mile hike up a marked wooded path from the cottage.

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.

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!

We had a fantastic stay at “Tony’s Cottage”. Nathan and Clare were great hosts. We enjoyed the huge front deck (covered) for meals at home and great views. A short walk to Pigeon Beach, Falmouth Harbour restaurants and Nelson’s Dockyard. We rented a car (a must for us) and explored Antigua’s amazing beaches every day. Overall, Tonys Cottage is a great option for those that don’t need or want the typical “resort experience” and instead are comfortable being self sufficient!

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.

We had an issue with a stranger who followed us to the Airbnb. The host did a very good job to calling the authorities. We had a overall great stay, nice beach, friendly staff, I would 100% recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. It is tastefully furnished, and while not a lot of space, uses what it has efficiently. Its location just a short walk from English Harbor / Falmouth Harbor gives it access to a decent grocery store, many dining options and cafes. Also just a short walk to Nelson’s Dockyard. We were glad we stayed in this part of the island- and glad of the nice location there. Robertha the local contact was responsive and helpful and nearby if you needed something. If I had any knock on the place it’s that due to the nearby houses and trees it has a limited view— but this also affords a sense of privacy including for example a dedicated/gated parking area. So if you want to watch the boats sail by at sunset this may not be the place for you— but we felt the trade off with a great location and well appointed place was worth it. Thanks.

We are so grateful to have found Turner's Cottages! This was our third trip to Antigua and our favorite location so far - just an absolute gem, steps from a pristine, beautiful, calm beach. The cottage has a lovely front porch and yard good for kids to run around in. The home was spotless and well equipped, very comfortable for our family of four who cooked most meals during our week there. Great air conditioning, comfortable beds, plenty of towels and other thoughtful touches. Toya and her family were highly communicative and have clearly put a lot of love and care into the home. And again, the beach was just beautiful! We loved our time there and are already planning our next visit, thank you, Toya :)

I stayed here with my mum and dad (mid-60s) and we had a really great week! Just perfect for what we wanted, a week relaxing in the sun. Na-Ajele’s father Pascal, who lives nearby, was more than helpful and even offered us delicious bbq fish one day! Darkwood beach is just a 15 minute walk away, and Fryers beach about 25 minutes by foot. It’s a good idea to rent a car so you can see the island at your leisure. The only inconvenience is that the nearest restaurant that can be reached by foot is closed at night. I recommend this place for people that want to stay in tranquility away from the tourist crowd, that like cooking at home (there’s well equipped kitchen) and are happy in basic yet spacious accommodation. Don’t expect luxury but do expect peace and nature here!
