Don’t think about this cottage, just book it! The property is absolutely gorgeous. Surrounded by Carribean views & beautiful flowers. It’s a great place to really connect to nature. Karol is above spectacular!! She made sure that we had everything we needed for a suburb stay!!!! The area beaches are great

Superb in every way.

I loved my 3-weeks in Karol and Merve’s new Stoneyhill Cottage. So peaceful, with panoramic views of the ocean, hilly green countryside, nightly sunsets, colourful flora and delightful fauna. My private pool was perfect, with an ideal temperature to cool off, swim a few lengths, and just enjoy the sun and tropical surroundings. I enjoyed the daily opportunity to sit out and read on the cottage’s large covered porches with steady breeze, and grand views, a rare treat. The many birds and small geckos were a constant entertainment. The property, filled with colourful florals, palm trees, and exotic fruits, was always unique and interesting to explore. Orchestrations of tiny island frogs would lull me to sleep each night. The entire stay was a delight! Practicalities: Location – great, less than 10-min drive to Jolly Harbour’s many conveniences, and to numerous beaches. Entrance to the property is straight up-and-down on a rutted dirt road but certainly manageable. I didn’t get a car. Karol was kind enough to take me shopping on several occasions when needed. Cottage – Well equipped, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Good mattress, comfortable furniture inside and out. Great shower. Everything you could want to cook full meals (with ample counter-space, large & small appliances, utensils, pots & pans, storage containers, plates & platters). There’s a large new barbeque with utensils for private use by the pool and a great palapa with fully equipped wet-bar (no drinks provided) and eating area. I love to cook and made wonderful meals here. Entertainment and Tech – good WiFi inside and out. TV had Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube. Security – I am a woman and travelled on my own. I had no worries at the cottage or on the island. Hosts – Karol and Merve were outstanding. They greeted me on arrival, and went above and beyond to make my stay perfect. Thanks!

We couldn’t have asked for more from our host Karol. 😄

Antiqua has so many nooks and crannies to explore, not to mention all those great beaches. We loved our cottage and its location. Quiet with lovely, lovely views of the island Montserrat. There is an outstanding grocery store nearby...that was terrific for us as we prefer to cook in. The cottage's kitchen, while small, was SO well set up with every tool or pan needed. And, I had no doubt that, if I needed something, Karol and Merv would share from their own kitchen. The cottage sits among a total of three similar cottages, but feels very private. Karol has a real touch in decorating with so many thoughtful pieces. Her linens and towels were fantastic and generous. And, if we needed a change in paradise, we could (a) take the short walk down to the pool and cabana area complete with music, lighting, grill, and glasses for our own bottle of wine or rum & tonic or (b) take a short drive to a host of nearby white sand beaches. I wouldn't hesitate to urge anyone visiting Antigua to take a load off there.

Carol and Merv are great friendly people! The cottage had all of the necessities and the property is well maintained. The veranda is spacious, private, and has a great view of the sea and mountainside. A vehicle is recommended to get to and from nearby beaches, grocery store, and restaurants. We arranged a rental through Carol and it was at the cottage when we arrived. We are already planning our next visit. Thanks for a great time Carol and Merv - see you again!

My partner and I stayed for 10 nights and were absolutely thrilled with our stay. Karol and Merve are absolute gems! They are perfect hosts, happy to help in any way they can while being careful in respecting your privacy. The grounds are spotless and cottage was perfect for a romantic get away. A car is helpful if you want to to dine out, shop or tour beaches if you are just wanting R&R you will love resting on the porch with breath taking ocean views and watching the beautiful birds! We have beautiful memories of our stay!!

We recently returned from Karol and Merv's place and we simply fell in love with it! The views are amazing! The cottages are clean and beautifully decorated with everything you need. We enjoyed every evening sitting on the expansive deck just taking in the views, the landscape and the breezes. We honestly could not have imagined a more ideal location! The pool and pool house are perfect! You are just minutes from beautiful beaches, great restaurants and a grocery store for necessities. Best of all, as you will read in so many reviews, are Karol and Merv. They are the kindest people and we enjoyed every opportunity to chat with them and learn more about them and how they have built such an amazing place. They were absolutely wonderful and helpful to us. We are already scheduled to return. They get our highest recommendation! Lastly, the island of Antigua exceeded our expectations! The beaches we visited were just gorgeous, the terrain is stunning and the people were all so kind and welcoming. One of our favorite trips to the Caribbean to date!
