About this property

Fantastic Ocean Front Home 5 min walk to Kite Surf Antigua & Jabberwock Beach

Our location and property is a dream come true for any visitor to our beautiful Caribbean Island. Snorkel the reefs that are only a few steps from your front door (once the weather permitting), or soak up the sun while overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

The spacious master suite on the upper floor is everything you could possibly want, beautiful views, air conditioning, en-suite open plan bathroom, and a cooling sea breeze.

The guest bedroom has to be the cosiest room in the house. This is the only part of the existing beach cottage that remains after major renovations three years ago. This room also has an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and flat screen t.v with cable.

If you are someone that likes to spend time in the kitchen, our kitchen is a real treat. From Italian cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (including a wine cooler) to the small Nespresso coffee maker, I believe we have it all covered.

Our large deck is wonderful for dining outdoors and viewing romantic moonlight evenings!

The front lawn/deck speaks for itself in the pictures. This is were you will be spending most of your time, it's everything you would expect from the Caribbean. From amazing views to the multi-species ocean life, fish, turtles, crabs, there is always something to see.

AUA Med School In Antigua - The American University Of Antigua is only a 7-minute walk. We are great for traveling doctors, nurses, and parents attending graduations.

Great location for exploring

Lovely house, sea view and location. Owner very responsive and accommodating (we travelled with young kids). Be aware the air conditioning is only in the bedrooms so it can get pretty warm in the living areas.

Loved this cottage!

We came to kitesurf and loved this house! It’s in a very quiet neighborhood and had everything we needed. Deck and yard were awesome and so were the two master suites. We will definitely be back.

Outstanding, modern, clean, beachfront, great host

Outstanding house, we really enjoyed our stay. The spacious patio right on the beach is stupendous. The house was bigger than expected, clean and well maintained. Daniel is a gracious host and met up with us at the airport and then spent time with us going over sights of interest in the island. I highly recommend staying here and we are planning on staying here again in the future!

Twigg Cottage is in a lovely, quiet area of the island. The kitchen is well-equipped. The beds were comfortable. The deck overlooking the ocean is a wonderful place to relax. We had an issue with the water one day, which Daniel was quick to resolve. We had a very nice stay.

Fabulous outdoor space and a beautiful property

We had a wonderful two weeks at Twigg Cottage! The deck and all of the outdoor space are absolutely fantastic. The huge kitchen is wonderful, and the division of space with one bedroom upstairs and the other downstairs is ideal. We ran into a couple of issues, but Daniel’s and Sarah’s very quick responses to the problems were everything you’d hope for. You definitely do need a car if you want to get out and explore, but that was a big part of the fun for us. Highly recommend!

What’s not to like?

Beautiful home, on the water, beautiful views, comfortable beds, ocean breezes, well supplied and ideal for visiting students at AUA. Daniel is more than accommodating and the house is beautiful and comfortable all around. I have not stated many places where I can take a shower and look at the ocean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay snd Daniel was quick to respond with any questions or needs we had. Thoroughly happy with our 2 week stay! Thank you Daniel!

Practically perfect in every way.

Great place for relaxation. Accommodations, view and set up just as described. Plenty of room to spread out. Outside areas to be in the sun, out of the sun or half and half. Right on the water; but no real beach for swimming. Dogs barking intermittently on both side neighbors property. Kitchen is very well equipped. Bathrooms/showers are very large with plenty of water. Location is north shore, with a constant NE breeze. No need for AC. 10 minutes to airport. You can drive to the south shore in 45 minutes. Overall, very nice place. Thank you to our hosts. Would stay there again.

Not as expected

The cottage was near perfect for two couples and Daniel was responsive about house concerns. We did love the steady wind that made a/c unnecessary. We chose this vrbo because of the snorkeling option as stated in the description. We were very disappointed that was impossible due to winds and high surf. Walking anywhere was treacherous. The roads are very narrow with no shoulder making it very unsafe. There was no outdoor grill and the cooktop is inefficient at best. Some basic kitchen gear as a large baking pan/ broiler would have been helpful. Really wanted to love our stay but it did not work out well for us. Driving in Antigua is very stressful as the roads are crazy narrow. We visited many sites and beaches and were relieved every time we got back to the cottage in one piece. Not a relaxing vacation for us.

Sleep to the sound of the ocean

We had a great stay at Daniel's property. Everything was as pictured, if not better. There was plenty of space for our family of four to spread out. The outdoor area was incredible. Going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean was definitely a highlight.

Paradise within a Paradise

It was most difficult to leave the tranquility of this VRBO property to venture on the Island which is a paradise. The ocean waves against the deck with the fresh Caribbean breeze in an amazing serene and safe environment made it most difficult to want to leave the property.

The pictures don't do this place justice!

Our daughter is a student in Antigua so we chose Twigg Cottage because of its proximity to her apartment. The pictures do not show how wonderful the home is. The kitchen is large and spacious (which came in handy for making our daughter's favorite - banana bread!). We had to fulfill a few work obligations and the wifi worked perfectly. There is plenty of space to relax with family. There's a convenience store that's a 5-6 minute walk down the road where you can get basic essentials including beverages (beer, wine, soda, etc.) The home is on the windy side of the island, perfect for enjoying the sun without getting uncomfortably hot. Both bedrooms have A/C. We slept upstairs and were comfortable at night with the ocean breeze. If you want to go to St. John or explore the island you will need to hire transportation. All in all, I highly recommend.

Stunning!

Our only regret with this property was that we were not staying longer. As soon as you walk through the entrance you are drawn to the beautiful view out the back of the property to the stunning north coast. A lovely house, tastefully decorated and with everything that you would need. Great kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, plenty of outside space and a fantastic deck right on the seafront. The area is quieter than other parts of the island but still provides an excellent base for exploring. We stayed cosy, taking advantage of the villa and the immediate area. There is a little convenience store and takeaway close by (5 mins walk) and an excellent hotel: Hodges Bay Resort just around the corner. We used this twice for lunch and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, good food and lovely views. We finished off with cocktails in the beach bar. You also have the French restaurant on your doorstep, a little bit more formal but excellent food. If we return to Antigua we will definitely be back - Thank you Daniel.

A little bit of paradise

My husband and I got away right before the virus escalated! How lucky! Daniel our host was there to meet us, and was terrific helping us with a rental car, making arrangements for our Covid testing the day before leaving , and responsive to anything we asked! Thank you so much Daniel. The house was as pictured roomy, spacious, a well equipped kitchen, a comfortable master suite bedroom with a comfy bed and pillows, towels and sheets. It was private and a real escape from the worlds problems. The deck overlooked the ocean and the wind was always blowing to keep you nice and cool. The bedrooms have an air-conditioner but we never needed to use it. There is a little store within walking distance which helped us for the first night there for milk and a few basic supplies. Attached to the tiny store is a place for take out or eat in. Not much atmosphere , but we did take out and the food was well prepared and we enjoyed it on our first night without a car. Daniel had a lovely sweet bread for us our first morning , ample ice and bottled water to get started. There is a shopping market about 10 minutes away by car. Daniel has a list of places to have dinner and lunch and every place was scrumptous. I highly recommend our favorite Cecilias !!!!! Do not miss this restaurant . Go for a lunch or early dinner so you can take in the view and beautiful decor! There is a French restaurant right up the block within walking distance and we dined there twice, again excellent food. If you rent a car just be careful of speed bumps and pot holes and interesting driving without many road signs! It was always an adventure! But we enjoyed going places and seeing the sites. The people are lovely all over the island, and we felt safe . Daniel also has a person who can drive you places his name is Craig and we used him for some day trips and to the airport. He is a charming young man, responsible, on time and so helpful! Because driving was a challenge during the day we tried to dine before the sun went down to be sure we got back! This worked out so well! Sitting on the deck with a glass of wine and watching the sun set was pure heaven. We would go back in a heart beat, this was a perfect vacation and the 2 weeks flew by so fast. This home would be ideal for 2 couples or a family. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor space.

Perfect Location

Twigg Cottage is in a nice neighborhood at the top of the island. Literally 7 minutes and you will be "home" for your vacation from the airport. You can't beat the views, the house is very comfortable with A/C in the bedrooms, fully stocked modern kitchen. Daniel, the host is very hospitable. He met us at the airport, brought us to the house, showed us the lay of the land and left us the keys. Answered any questions we had regarding beaches and restaurants. We loved Le Bistro, Stella's and the lobster pizza at La Bussola. We ended up eating more dinners at home because you cannot find a better view than the backyard.

Everything we expected and more!

It could not have been more perfect! The house has everything needed for 2 couples to have a perfect vacation - and large enough so we could find our own space. The owners were on hand to answer any questions and were also very helpful with info about shopping, restaurants etc. The outdoor space was where we spent most of our time. The deck is right next to the sea! What more could you want? We are already talking about a return visit. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.
