Fantastic cottage, great location. Ideal for a quiet getaway and close enough to beaches, Five Islands Village and St John's. Only minor thing is it could do with a lick of paint here and there! We had a great stay and would give the cottage the highest recommendation.

A very quiet location with a balcony overlooking the sea. There is a distant view of cruise ships going in and out of St Johns. The beach was hidden by trees behind the beach but Access was easy via a gate in the fence of the resort backing onto the beach. The return from the beach was via a road up hill then a steep ramp followed by a series of uneven steps and short, uneven paths. Breeze cottage was very well equipped with all you would normally need including gas BBQ. The air con was fine but only required at night, sea breezes providing a pleasant effect. The WiFi operated well and log on was without difficulty.

Beautiful, spacious room with a view. The room was pretty much perfect. Marco was a friendly, responsive and reliable host who clearly decorated his rooms with care. "Treehouse" was very spacious for 1 and would be perfect for a couple. Internet was fast and the AC worked fine. The room was clean and a few minutes walk from the beach. There's not much around though, so bring your groceries!

Beautiful Views!

My stay at Galley Bay Cottages in Antigua was a great experience. The cottage was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the views of the ocean were absolutely stunning. The property is a quiet and serene retreat with easy access to the beach. A major highlight was the hostess, Michela, who went out of her way to make sure I got to the cottage and that I was comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. While I greatly enjoyed my time there, there were a few minor issues. The parking area was very rugged, and the path to the cottage was a steep climb that wasn't well-lit at night. The air conditioning was only in the bedroom, and there was no TV in the room. Despite these small drawbacks, the breathtaking views and exceptional hospitality from Michela made for a memorable and relaxing getaway.

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!

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

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.

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!
