You know when you rent a HA or Airbnb house and you always have the feeling that it misses all the small little attentions and touches to be just perfect? Well our Banana Tree cottage was the exact opposite: the most perfect vacation rental of all times, and we have had a lot. The place is totally beautiful, exactly as you see in the pictures if not better (the sea view is much nicer and the sea much closer that what you assume looking at the pics). Everything is really comfortable, decorated with taste and the house has a fascinating soul.
Reading the previous review, I can't figure out how someone can say something negative about this place, or the hosts. Of course if you look for a resort type of experience, go in a resort, but Banana Tree is perfect if you are looking for:
- the perfect location, close to wonderful English harbour, strategic for vsiting all the island and reaching all the beaches and best places in Antigua and faraway from the mass tourism crap you can find in the northwestern beach resorts such as Dickinson or Jolly Harbour (Don't miss Catherine's at Pigeon Point, Nelson Dockyards, Cloggys at the marina in English Harbour, Shirley Heights Sunday party, some of the most attractive things to do in Antigua and all at max 10 mins from the house).
- the perfect house, complete of any possible amenity you may need (like, they have more things in the kitchen than I have in my cooking addict one).
- The best possible ever quality/price balance. This house is incredibly well priced compared to what you can find in expensive Antigua.
- The most attentive and kind host: Tracey was outstanding all over our stay, answering all of our questions and giving us a massive amount of precious information
- A beautiful, peaceful garden with colibris and butterfly and a sunset view
What else? This place met and greatly exceeded our expectations and made our stay in Antigua truly unforgettable. I feel blessed and lucky too have found it on HA. Don't miss it if you are planning a stay in Antigua.
