About this cottage rental

Birds & Bees Cottage, as the name implies is a romantic stone cottage with shingle roof trimmed with white gingerbread. It has a king sized 4 poster bed draped in netting, antique furniture, a huge 30' x 8' verandah with a hammock for those afternoon naps. Lovely views across the tropical garden filled with an assortment of flowers and trees with many birds flitting through. There is a palm fringed pool shared with Sapodilla cottage also in the 2 acre garden. Both cottages are very private and peaceful and well separated from each other. I ask a minimum of 5 nights.

This is our 2nd time at Birds and Bees. I think my granddaughter said it all: "It's like we have our own private resort." The owners are the best.

A delightful blend of nature and comfort. Beautiful cottage (Birds n' Bees) with lots of gorgeous tropical flora... and plenty of fauna! The birds are all around, so if you don't like birds, this place is NOT for you! The hosts have fitted the cottage with modern conveniences, drinking water, fully equipped kitchen, and king-size netted bed. A bottle of Antigua Rum was waiting for us upon our arrival. We hated to leave!

Spent an amazing week here last month. Janie and her husband are incredibly hospitable and their property is a true gem. Thank you so much and I look forward to returning.

This is our 3rd stay at Birds & Bees Cottage - 2 weeks each time, we have spent a total of a month and a half here and we love it more each time. Birds & Bees is special as it's an eco-home where you not only have a view of the harbor but also get to interact with all the best island nature including hummingbirds, a tortoise, a variety of other birds that will sing to you, beautiful lizards, horses, and 3 beautiful dogs. We love the cool breezes that come off the water right up and through to our bedroom and living space. We made the best meals in our galley kitchen with everything we need right there. Janie & Geoff were (and are always) so gracious and accommodating and will offer you every thing you need. When you arrive they have wonderful local fruits, juices, breads, coffee and even rum all there awaiting your arrival! But the best part for us is the beautiful pool with a gazebo where you can relax with a beverage, nap, swim short laps, commune with nature, or read a book all with the best view on the island!

By the end of the first day, we were already planning a return visit. After that, we just sat back, relaxed and let the natural beauty of the property and the surroundings wash over us. This really is a magical place. Janie and Geoffrey are wonderful hosts, and our daily doggie visits were a cherished part of our vacation routine. We will be back - soon and often.

This was our second time staying at Janie and Geoffrey's stunning property (April 2023). Please read my detailed review from last year (Feb. 2022, published on March 4, 2022). This time Janie accommodated our extended family of five adults and two young grandchildren. Just like a year ago everything was wonderful. We had both cottages, Birds 'N Bees and Sapodilla, as well as a spacious bedroom suite. Our favourite spot was the pool and gazebo area (for our sole use). It is surrounded by beautiful plants, flowers, and palm trees with stunning views in the distance of Falmouth Harbour. This area also has excellent Wifi. The cottages are charmingly furnished with comfortable beds, lovely linens, mosquito netting over every bed, and well equipped kitchens. This time we rented a large Toyota van which held all seven of us. A rental vehicle is necessary as the grocery shops and restaurants in English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour are a short drive away (not walkable distance). The road up to Janie's property is rough but you do get used to it. With such a large group and two children Janie graciously allowed us the use of her large washing machine on a couple of occasions. We drove to Pigeon Point Beach (twice), Half Moon Bay, Galleon Beach, Dutchman's Bay, and Runaway Bay. The three younger adults in our group hiked to Rendezvous Bay twice from Janie's property - a 30 minute hike and well worth it. We took in Stingray City and Laviscount Island (giant tortoises) which the children loved. We also highly recommend the Creole Lobster Lunch Catamaran Cruise which starts from Jolly Harbour. There are many great restaurants in the area. A great take out pizza place is Famous Mauro's Pizza which is just a short drive away (wood-fired brick oven pizza). Overall another amazing holiday in Antigua which was made very special by our hosts, Janie and Geoffrey, and their magical property. Wendy C.

No screens, no AC, no TV. Perfect host, view and best of all breeze. Just the simple pleasures. It’s close to English Harbor, Shirley Heights, horseback riding, restaurants, grocery store, liquor store, ice cream, hiking, beaches. Janie’s place is the antidote in this fast pace, immediate satisfaction world. Not for everyone but perfect for Mark and me. Thanx Janie

Everything about this property and the hosts were a delight. A beautiful haven amongst the natural world. Comfortable and tranquil with everything we needed. We loved being visited by the resident dogs, all with their own super characteristics. Janie and Geoffrey are such wonderful and interesting people and could not have been more helpful to us. Thank you for our stay.
