We had a wonderful stay in sunny Antigua! The house is beautiful, just the right size with a comfortable bed and a well equipped kitchen. The garden and the pool (shared with Sarah) are particularly beautiful. We rented a 4x4 and drove all over the island to see the sights and visit beaches. Le Bistro is a great restaurant and only a 5 min walk away. Sarah was very hospitable and helpful and is right on hand for anything you might need. Thanks again!

We had the most fantastic stay at Driftwood Cottage. The accommodation is beautiful and comfortable, the set up with the pool and the veranda is superb and Sarah is a really wonderful welcoming host . It's a great location a 5/10 minute drive from the station and an easy distance from St John's and lots of nice nearby restaurants (but it was difficult to ever want to leave!)

Amazing little cottage and pool within a stunning Mature grounds of palms, trees, shrubs, beautiful flowers, and the wildlife with beautifully birds, lizards and tree frogs, just an amazing place to stay if you want peace and quiet and privacy.

Peaceful getaway cottage with beautiful pool, in the perfect location. We were there to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Sarah was an amazing host and person who was conveniently in close proximity to assist with any questions or needs that we had. She was very respectful and we had wonderful conversations and really enjoyed her dog honey who plays hard to get. haha but really likes us and spent alot of time with us. All in all wonderful island the beaches are the best and people are very friendly. Thanks again Sarah wishing you the best love Mike and Jen
