The Greenside Cottages - Private Tropical Garden - Residential Area 5 Mins from the Beach

I had the BEST time staying at The Green-side Cottages in Antigua. It felt like a proper home away from home from the moment I arrived. Luna (her dog) is an absolute dream- so friendly, playful and full of love. She lifted my mood every single day without fail. Nicki herself is just the loveliest person. She brings such good energy to the place, and we shared so many laughs- proper belly laughs. We’d make fresh juices some mornings and end up chatting for ages… by the end of my stay, she felt more like a friend than a host. She’s also incredibly kind and generous- she brought us papaya from her mum’s tree and bananas from her own on multiple occasions, which was such a thoughtful touch. The cottages are really cosy and homey. You’ve got your own space to cook and do your thing, but it still feels warm and welcoming. Plus, everything is close by, which makes it even better. I’d 100% stay here again anytime I’m in Antigua- couldn’t recommend it more.

This was a wonderful place to stay to explore Antigua. The host Nicky , responds really quickly to enquiries. She lives on site and was always really helpful with ideas about places to eat and where to go. We were in unit 2 which was clean, with effective air conditioning and a lovely veranda for eating and relaxing. There is a lovely large garden and the road it is on is quiet. It is very well placed for access to the beach and into St Johns and beyond. We would not hesitate to book again. Nicky promptly remedied a few missing items from the kitchen, and a toilet issue was fixed very quickly. The internet access is a work in progress but Nicky is working hard on this and I'm sure it will be sorted out soon. The kitchen is basic but has everything you need. The gas cooker works but is a little tired! All in all a wonderful place to stay for a quiet self catering escape.

Good place to stay. Close to the beach, town, grocery store. Very friendly owner.
