I visited Antigua for 4 nights with my girlfriend in March having come from watching England play cricket in Barbados. My best friend from home works on a superyacht in English Harbour so I was ideally looking for something close to this but was open to travelling from elsewhere on the island in the interest of cost.
Having searched for a long time with little luck for a good value place to stay I was thinking of settling for the relatively pricey Sugar Ridge on the west coast, and I'm glad I found Vine Cottages instead.
The best thing about these cottages are:
- The quality of the interior design (the shower was beautifully designed)
- The comfort and quality of the bed and linen
- The views from our balcony
- The quality of service (our flight to Antigua was delayed and we didn't arrive until 2230, far later than expected. JJ, the owner, personally came to meet our rental car at a nearby school to ensure we didn't get lost in the dark). He stayed extra late just for us.
- Value for money

Our Antigua experience was the trip of a lifetime and it was made all the better by this hidden gem of a property. Not many may have heard of it (including the 'yachties' we met in the Harbour) but I have no doubt its popularity will grow.

A previous guest mentioned they walked but I would recommend a rental car as it is quite hilly, it depends if you're looking to explore the local area and island or just chill at the property.

Thank you JJ and team for the wonderful hosting!
