Terra Cottage is our new favorite place to stay!!! If you're looking for a place that embraces you upon arrival, you need to book Terra Cottage Immediately. We were celebrating my husband's 55th birthday and thoroughly enjoyed our entire stay. We're already planning to return next year.
Spent quite a few days enjoying the Hammock :)

Beautiful place to get away from it all!

Secluded and quiet, clean and cozy—great for two couples or families with older children. Need to update some of the furniture in the living room but overall, a great place to stay.

A little oasis in northern Antigua

We absolutely loved our stay at Terra Cottage and its smaller guest cottage. A stunning home with a lovely plunge pool that turned out to be larger than expected. A very attentive host, too. We'd love to come back. Highly recommended!

Awesome

We really enjoyed our stay. The mosquitoes were a problem for us, but we didn’t allow them to take away the joy of being in a beautiful setting. The property manager Ebby was very efficient and Laura, our host, was the best. We enjoyed exploring the island. The property is beautiful.

Terra Cottage-Antigua Paradise

Terra Cottage located in Bay Gardens is absolutely beautiful. The main cottage and guest cottage are perfect for two couples. We just spent 7 days and enjoyed every minute. Laura was amazing in arranging our pick up at the airport by Gregson and had our rental car delivered to the cottage shortly after our arrival. Kathy and Peter welcomed us and got us settled in. The cottage location is convenient for getting around the island. The beaches are stunning. The cottage is well equipped for cooking meals with the epicurean grocery store near by. We had an excellent vacation and would highly recommend staying at Terra Cottage.

Private Paradise

Beautiful property with modern amenities and tastefully decorated. This newly-constructed (2018) cottage has everything you need to have a private and independent vacation. The plunge pool is a really nice addition when you want to cool off without traveling to the beach. We stayed 8 nights and had such a blast. We really enjoyed the independence to cook for ourselves and have a flexible schedule. We rented a car for the week, which added even more flexibility. Laura and her team were a great help in answering any questions we had prior to arrival and during our stay, and recommending additional providers for tours and destinations. Great value!

Gorgeous hideaway

This property really does have it all! My husband and I stayed in the main house and also rented the smaller cottage for my Mom. We explored most of the island during our 2-1/2 week stay - our first time visiting Antigua. After visiting St. John’s and the south end of the island, we really appreciated the more quiet atmosphere of the north end of the island. The owner, Laura, and property manager, Kathy, were super kind, helpful and a wealth of information to make our stay a fabulous one! Our favorite dining experiences were at Canvas (a short walk from the house), Le Bistro, and Casa Roots. We also enjoyed the businesses in the charming Bay Gardens community - drinks at Door 78, massages at Luxurium, and dining at Dawne’s Soleil Cafe. We would definitely return to Terra Cottage!

Birthday Celebrations

Terra Cottage is AMAZING, we thoroughly enjoyed our extended vacation and felt right at home. Laura is a fabulous host who checked in on us and provided helpful information regarding the services set up (house cleaning, pool cleaning, water delivery) for the cottages which made our stay painless. Her neighbor, Kathy, gave us the lay of the island and had great recommendations of places to visit and eat. And, was available if we needed anything, she was just a WhatsApp away. All in all, we couldn't have been happier celebrating our birthdays at Terra Cottage, it's a vacation that we won't forget! It was a sad day when we had to leave, but we hope to go back.

Long Holiday at Terra Cottage

Terra Cottage is truly a home away from home! The pictures are just a hint at how wonderful these cottages really are. They are beautifully designed with modern amenities and GREAT showers! Both cottages are beautifully furnished, decorated, and stocked with anything you might need to settle in and enjoy Antigua. The cookware is fantastic! The property managers are attentive and responsive. Everything you need is nearby: grocery store, gas, convenience store, pharmacy, restaurants, beaches, veggie stands, and more! The pool is lovely treat in the morning before the beach or after. The porch is great for conversation, laughs, and rum punch! A 10 minute drive from Fort James beach (which has new child friendly beach club called the TreeHouse Beach Club) and 8 minutes from Dickinson Bay which has restaurants at each end. Terra Cottage will meet all of your needs whether you are on a long or short stay. Laura left no detail to chance. We had a hard time bringing our time to a close. But enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you for hosting us!

Tranquility defined

Nestled in a lush and tranquil corner of Bay Gardens, Laura’s two beautiful cottages were exactly what we had hoped for and so much more. All in all a perfect retreat to either chill out at all day or return to after a day exploring the very welcoming island of Antigua. A truly wonderful home surrounded by rustling palms, we especially loved dipping in and out of the refreshing pool and relaxing on the huge and perfectly appointed veranda where the numerous green throated hummingbirds and inquisitive bullfinches were a joy to watch.Both fully equipped cottages have very comfy beds with mosi nets, luxury showers rooms with a never ending supply of towels, coffee makers, refrigeration, ceiling fans and air conditioning, our list goes on and on! The chef’s equipped kitchen in Terra Cottage is impressive, and when we didn’t feel like cooking we walked to Dawns Restaurant at the end of the short drive for extremely delicious local food and cocktails.Laura’s attention to welcome and comfort is second to none. Arriving at night she had arranged a delicious roti dinner prepared and left ready to heat up by the lovely Amanda, along with beer and a well stocked fridge with breakfast essentials. She also helped us arrange car hire with Michael that included a very smooth airport pick up and return.Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home Laura. You went above and beyond for us, you are a superstar super host and your gifts are perfect momentos!

PERFECT Getaway!

Terra Cottage is the perfect place to stay in Antigua! We are a family of 4 (2 adults, a 4 year old, and a 1 year old) and we all stayed in the main cottage. If you have older children or traveling w/ another couple, rent the second cottage! Super cute!! The cottage was very clean, beautifully decorated, landscaped well and newly built. We are adventure-seekers, so this cottage was perfect for us! We cooked breakfast in the awesome kitchen (loved everything about the kitchen...from the faucets to the cutlery drawer) every morning then headed out to the beach of choice that day. We returned home each evening and ate dinner in. The covered porch is the best way to start and end each day (and it keeps the crumbs outside if you have little ones.)The last day we stayed at the house and enjoyed the plunge pool (great for children) and relaxed on the pool-side loungers. I would suggest to take a 1/2 day or so and just enjoy the property! The bed was comfy and the bathroom was spa-like. We also appreciated the quality and quantity of the linens. The home had everything you would ever need or want (including beach toys, grills, and a VITAMIX). Laura was fabulous! She was quick to respond to questions before and during our stay! She even arranged for a pick-up from the airport to the cottage and a rental to be delivered to the cottage...game-changer when you have small children. Thank you, Laura!! I can't say enough good things about our stay. It was by far the best vacation home we have rented (and we've rented around the world). We were so spoiled by the Vitamix! It is now on my list of things to look for in rentals! We will be back and we will for sure be referring friends/family to Terra Cottage! Thanks again for sharing your paradise with us!

Terra cottages

Just wow. Before even arriving in Antigua, Laura went above and beyond to help my family and myself. Upon arriving to the cottages we were amazed at the beautiful property! The pool and the porch immediately caught our eye. Both cottages were so perfect and furnished so well. The kitchen was spectacular and perfectly set up. The bathroom shower was so wonderful you never wanted to get out! The entire stay Laura, Veronique, and Kathy met our every need and answered the many questions we had! We cannot wait to come back! Thank you everyone !

Lovely property, great staff

The cottages are elegant and comfortable. A great team of people made sure everything is working smoothly and that we had everything we needed. The restaurant across the street, Dawne’s Soleil Cafe, became a regular choice for lunch or dinner. Lots of other great restaurants on the island meant we did not cook as much as planned.

Beautiful cottage in a perfect location to travel the island but also to relax and chill

We have just returned from our first trip to Antigua where we stayed at the Terra Cottage, a beautifully decorated, fantastically equipped cottage. The cottage is immaculate and so tastefully decorated with gorgeous little touches from the pineapple bedlights to the beautiful nautical linen. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a grill out on the terrace for grilling the freshly caught local fish for enjoying whilst sitting out on the terrace in the evening listening to the sounds of the islands singing tree frogs. One of our new favourite things to do! The cottage is located within a short drive to the Epicaurean supermarket where you can buy everything you would ever need for your stay. There are also some great wine stores nearby and the fish and fruit markets in St John’s are a must do for fantastic local produce which you can buy to stock the big American style fridge freezer in the cottage. The cottage is located in the north of the island at Hodges Bay which was a perfect location for us as we loved to travel around visiting one of the many beautiful beaches in the morning, stop for lunch at one of the great restaurants or funky beach bars then returning to the cottage for a swim in our own pool watching the sun go down before cooking in the open plan cottage kitchen. Our hosts were so kind and welcoming from our initial booking to our seven night stay. If there was anything we needed to know before we arrived Laura was able to advise and any queries or requests we had were dealt with immediately by the amazing island hosts looking after the cottage guests. We would definitely recommend having your own cottage, being able to travel around and dine out but also having your own space to relax and swim and cook is the best way if visiting the island to get a true sense of the place. And the Terra Cottage is the perfect place to do that. Marie and Rob - stayed October 2018.
