Neptune's Jewel - an elegant, newly-built studio cottage in quiet garden

This enchanting studio cottage nestles in the garden of the owner's house in half an acre of land at the bottom of Monkā€™s Hill.

It is 5m x 8m (16ft x 27ft) including a deck leading in to the garden of fruit trees, palms and flowers enjoyed by many birds.

3 mins walk from local grocery store & buses
7 mins walk from small hotel beach & 2 Restaurants
5 mins drive from more beaches & marina & bars, cafes & restaurants

The cottage is designed to be open to the breeze throughout the day & night. Tradewinds blow though the windows (installed with white painted burglar bars, no glass or screens). The bathroom is tiled with Travertine tiles and has a waterfall tap into an Egyptian marble sink.

The beautiful hand-made kitchen has a varnished solid Cedar counter & teak stools, perfect for breakfast or chatting to the cook whilst sipping your glass of wine.

The galley-style kitchen has everything you need to prepare a light lunch or a delicious supper for candle-lit dining on the deck. Best for cooking the fresh fish you may have bought from the local fisherman on the docks is the small BBQ by the deck in the garden.

The wardrobe has ample storage for your clothes, spare linens & beach towels as well as your suitcases.

There is no television. Natureā€™s entertainment in such a secluded and enchanting setting usually means you donā€™t miss it. There are plenty of books of every kind available. There is good free Fiber-optic WiFi.

The owner lives in the nearby villa "Casa Lucia" (from October through to June), during which she will be delighted to welcome you and help with anything else during your stay. Unless you have questions or need something, she will leave you alone for the rest of your stay.

Neptuneā€™s Jewel is a few minutesā€™ walk down a tree-lined lane from the Harbourā€™s most-loved local shop. Wednesday sees the boat from Dominica arrive filling the shop with exotic produce from nearby Nature-Island Dominica. You can expect to buy fresh herbs, a local (& some imported) fruit & vegetables. All the staples you will need to fill your kitchen. There is also an abundant Farmerā€™s Market 15 mins drive away and a large modern Supermarket 25 mins drive away for more sophisticated imports. Passion fruit, bananas, mangoes, rocket & herbs grow in the garden (in season).

Catamaran Hotel Beach is 5 mins walk away and Pigeon & Windward Beaches are 5 mins drive (or short bus ride & walk away) and boasts two beach bars. Bumpkins, an informal , locally-run wooden, shady bar serving fish, salad and burgers (and the best Lime Daiquiriā€™s & Pina Coladas on the island) and Catherineā€™s CafĆ© at the other end with an excellent French chef, a high-end menu and exotic cocktails. Both have live music at weekends. The water is clean and clear and safe.

There are 3 more good restaurants within 10 minutes walking distance and many more 5 mins drive away.

A short stroll down the lane takes you to the main road where you can pick up a bus to town or to Nelsonā€™s Dockyard. They are frequent & inepensive (if a little wild !) There are many car rental companies nearby, the owner can arrange or recommend car rental for you if you require. You can park in or outside the property 50 yards from the Cottage entrance. Taxis are reliable and have fixed prices and one of the best lives down the lane.

Pick up one of the many Airport taxis. Cost is about US 50.

Nearby Activities include a Dive School (with a highly recommended Dive Instructor), Fishing Trips, Sailing, squash & tennis, yoga, pilates & gym. Within half an hour there is kite-surfing school, zip-line canopy tours, cultural tours, donkey sanctuary, swimming with rays, golf, museums & eco tours.

There are some fabulous walks in the area. Including a popular one right outside the door to the top of Monk's Hill where there is an old ruined fort and some of the most spectacular views on the island: Organised walks are another option by the Environmental Awareness Group, the 5 am Hiking Club or a wonderful Rasta taking you through the Rain Forest.

Other attractions are Cricket, Steel drums & Reggae, Local bands, Antigua Sailing Week, and the Antigua Classic Regatta.

There are 2 resident cats "Johnny Rotten" & "Little Tiger" who will likely leave you alone but friendly if you wish to say hello.

Charming Little Cottage!

Gorgeous cottage, situated in a very nice location within nature and close to English Harbor. Our host Lucy was very friendly, communicative and helpful throughout our stay. The place and the host made us feel part of the local community and itā€™s a great choice for people who want a more authentic island experience and to get away from a generic resort vibe.

Charming little love hut.

Nicely designed and decorated cottage located on breezy hillside just above Falmouth Harbour. Lucy is a great host and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you are into hiking, one of the best trails overlooking English and Falmouth Harbour literally starts outside the back gate.

Antigua escape

A lovely traditional style dwelling in a good convenient location. Lucy is a welcoming and most helpful host . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The small beach within an easy walk at the Catamaran Hotel has public access and is worth a visit before venturing further . A hire car is recommended but vehicle condition may be an issue. On the approach from the main road the first section of track which is unmade was in very poor repair although some pot hole filling was in progress.

Cozy cottage

Adorable cozy cottage situated in a beautiful garden scape that is in close proximity to English and Falmouth Harbors and Galleon Beach. Lucy, the host had everything we could need available to us, with a book of instructions and local recommendations which we found very helpful. The place was very clean and exactl Lu as described. We found the mosquito netting over the bed to be very helpful, as we kept the windows and doors open most of the time for a fantastic breeze. We did encounter the sugar ants as previously mentioned but they didnā€™t bite and we didnā€™t find them bothersome. We would highly recommend Neptuneā€™s Jewel and will most certainly be back! Thanks so much Lucy for a wonderful slice of heaven

Lovely stay at Neptune's Jewel!

My husband and I had an amazing time on our vacation to Antigua. The property is beautiful and quiet. Hummingbirds flit around the garden, and birds are everywhere. We hung out on the porch every morning and evening. The cottage is adorable; decorated perfectly, and very comfortable. It is centrally located, so it is easy to get to all the beaches and sites we wanted to go to and English Harbor. We did rent a car, and found that to be the best way to see the island and get around. Lucy was a great host, full of information and very accessible. This was our first trip to Antigua and we really fell in love with the island and the beautiful beaches. We will definitely come back and we will stay at Neptune's Jewel again! Thanks Lucy!

A lovely experience!

Our stay at Neptune's Jewel was a lovely experience! The quiet and relaxing cottage is the perfect alternative to a resort stay. The tropical breezes flowing through the cottage were refreshing and the little birds, frogs, and lizards, that came in for a visit were delightful. The cottage and its amenities are simple, yet elegant, providing everything needed for a very pleasant stay without being complicated. And, Lucy is very hospitable with answering questions, recommendations, directions, etc. We really enjoyed having Neptune's Jewel as our home base as we explored the English and Falmouth Harbour areas. Within walking distance, there is a market and Papa's by the Sea, which quickly became one of our favorite restaurants. Catherines Cafe Plage at Pigeon Point Beach also became a favorite of ours and can be reached by taxi or bus and a short walk. I hope to visit again one day!

Tranquility in the garden

We had a wonderful 8 days at Neptune's Jewel, a perfect garden retreat to return to after adventuring across the island each day. It's well located within walking distance to a grocery store, so it's very convenient for essentials, but also close to English Harbour, major beaches, and to many off the beaten path sights. We found the location very convenient overall. The house is clean and in good condition, and unlike many other options on the island it is set in a beautiful garden and not an empty grass lot. Do you not come to such a destination to enjoy some of the beautiful plants and wildlife? Not a single day went by on the porch without a hummingbird visiting us. Not one! In summary, beautiful. The house is well equipped with a mini fridge, mosquito killing device, floor fan, and everything we needed for our stay, and the host, Lucy, is helpful and accessible, but also knows how to give you peace and privacy. If I had to complain about anything it would be about sleeping under the mosquito net. You have to be careful about not letting any of those greedy blood suckers in and it's kind of cramped once inside! But I can't deduct any points for that because it was clearly stated in the property description. I suspect it's better this way cause having nets on all the windows would kill all the airflow in the house, and that same airflow kept it nice and pleasant at all times of the day. Bonus points to the host for some unexpected surprises when compared to other places we've stayed at: The dinnerware, glassware and cutlery were all of high quality, no plastic crap here - even had delicate bowls from Japan! Moreover you have a nice shaded spot to park your car - a nice little plus to avoid getting into an oven whenever you set out for the day :). Lastly the house itself is very well designed and feels spacious and airy - I really can't recall a place that "came together" as well as this one. All in all, an authentic Caribbean experience, where you get to experience actually being in the Caribbean and not a sterile boring hotel. Hear the crickets sing at night, be visited by hummingbirds, be suspicious of the red throated sparrows eyeing your bread and making runs to steal crumbs - LOL. It was a wonderful place and we are very happy we chose to stay here!

New cottage in a pretty tropical garden

The cottage is well equipped, and clean. Lucy is a great host and was very quick to bring us a cooler and ice when we realized the new fridge was not working properly. There are no windows or screens and you have to leave the front and back doors open for a cooling breeze, so you are really living in nature. There is a mosquito net for sleeping but we were bitten a lot. Her driving directions to find the cottage were not very good and we got lost in the dark trying to find it. We did enjoy the surrounding area and proximity to English Harbour.

Casa Lucia Paradise

Casa Lucia is in a great location. Easy access to all that's great on Antigua. Falmouth harbour is full of great restaurants and beaches. Lucy's place is very comfortable and the gardens are exquisite! We fell in love with the new cat ,Tiger! If there was anything we needed all we had to do was ask and it was provided. Mosquitoes are a nuisance but that seems to be par for the island. We found that having the small fan blowing over us seemed to keep them away as well as the netting over the bed.The sounds of insects and frogs is mesmerizing . So many birds came to visit. We enjoyed having a car to get around.Driving was challenging but once we realized how relaxed it was and how friendly everyone is we just got into the flow. Feel like you're in the way? Just let them pass with a friendly toot! Didn't try the buses. Taxies are easy to get. You can drive around the entire island in under 4 hours. You will fall in love with Casa Lucia and all the Antiguan people! Nicest we've ever met. No worries!!! Thank you Lucy!

Romantic little hideaway

Very clean and conveniently located with some reasonable eateries and a store within comfortable walking distance (5 minutes downhill!). Have been coming to the area for many years but never ventured uphill to St Georgeā€™s Fort above us here - very rewarding views and of interest ... well worth the effort (allow 1 - 2 hours). Lucy an excellent hostess .... attentive but left us to our own devices. Quiet romantic place for a safe stay. Have to watch out for the mozzies and the no-see-ems though! Bed is mosquito netted although once theyā€™re in, theyā€™re in! Neptuneā€™s Jewel is very open which means it catches the breezes but can let the little blighters in - a price worth paying. However we sat out most evenings and mornings without repellant and with no problems!

How lucky we were.

Discovering Neptuneā€™s Jewel was such good fortune, and we enjoyed every moment of our holiday. Lucy was there to greet us and show us around when we arrived, and as we walked through the house to the back deck we saw hummingbirds feeding on the flowers just outside the door. The garden is tranquil and beautiful, with shady spots in which to sit, and all manner of carefully tended plants. At night we enjoyed sitting outside watching the stars and during the day we would sometimes see Johnny Rotten taking a dust bath or climbing a tree! The house itself is charming: elegant, cool, and tastefully decorated. Lucyā€™s eye for style and detail pervades. We feel blessed to have met the beautiful Lucy and benefit from her knowledge and experience; she is wonderful company but is also aware that guests may want time to themselves. She is a rich source of information about the area and the places to visit for hiking, shopping, swimming or snorkelling. Her love of the area and enthusiasm for life on the island is a joy to experience. The local supermarket, farm shop, fish shop, bakery and roadside stalls provided all that we needed to create some delicious meals and there are many restaurants in the area that cater for all manner of tastes. The house is in a quiet neighbourhood and the sounds we heard as we awoke were cockerels, bananaquits and goats. Thank you, Lucy, for a wonderful two weeks; we hope to see you again soon.

A perfect vacation!

We stayed five nights in Neptune's Jewel and only have the highest praise for our experience. The cottage is lovely. Clean, comfortable, safe, spacious, secluded and yet close to restaurants and beaches. Even in the hottest weather there's a lovely ocean breeze. We slept soundly and awoke every morning to songbirds outside our windows. The porch is a perfect place to sip coffee or read a book. By the end of our trip, we were best friends with a pair of bull finches that lived on a nearby branch. Lucy is extraordinary. She's warm and accommodating and generous. We asked if she had a toaster, and, the next day, there it was. You will not find a better host! Thanks for a wonderful vacation, Lucy!

We loved it!

This property is full of charm and character and has everything you need. It is set in the garden - far enough from the owner's house for total privacy but close enough in case you need anything. Lucy was totally charming and we enjoyed a sundowner with her one night and learned a lot about the island. From a practical point of view the bed is comfortable, the shower powerful and there is a full kitchen. It is walkable to several restaurants, the beach and a good supermarket. The wifi was consistently good. We felt very safe and slept wth all the shutters open to enjoy the breeze so there was no need for a/c. We will be back soon I hope.

Relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings

We loved staying in this cottage for ten days in February 2018. We endorse all of the things that previous 5-star reviewers have said about the high level of comfort, beautiful surroundings, excellent location and wonderful host, Lucy, who had thought of everything to make life easier. The cottage is cleverly designed to feel spacious. We used buses a lot and occasional taxis and decided not to bother with a car. One of our most relaxing holidays and we would definitely stay here again.

Neptune's Jewel was fantastic!

My wife and I stayed in Neptune's Jewel for 9 days in January 2018. For those of you, like us, who prefer something other than the all-inclusive type vacation, this is the place for you. The cabin was fantastic, totally meeting our needs. The owner, Lucy, had indicated that a rental car was not necessary and she was so right. A short walk from the cabin got us to the main road and plenty of buses and taxis, which were very economical. There were also restaurants, a grocery store and liquor store all close by and within walking distance. The closest beach was fantastic and only about a 5 to 10 minute bus ride away (cost per person on the bus was only about $1 US). Our host Lucy was also fantastic, very friendly and very helpful....always there when we needed something. Thanks Lucy for a wonderful stay, we really enjoyed it!

Five stars not enough - deserves ten!

A beautiful Garden of Eden full of humming birds and other exotic birds, lizards and fabulous blooming trees and shrubs. Cottage is airy, bright and tastefully decorated and has a very comfortable bed. It is adequately supplied with all you need. Lucy is a cheerful, helpful host and the very few minor problems we had were promptly sorted. One day she even phoned us from town to ask if we needed any shopping bought for us. We would be more than happy to stay there again and we have no hesitation in recommending Neptune's Jewel to anyone!

A quiet and relaxing stay in a beautiful setting

I stayed for a week in Neptune's Jewel, in what was one of my most relaxing holidays ever. Located in Falmouth, Neptune's Jewel is a gorgeous cottage at the bottom of a large garden. It was lovely to be in an area far away from the hustle and bustle of large hotels and tourism, and instead wake up only to a gentle breeze and sometimes a little cat outside the cottage! Lucy, the host, was friendly and personable and made the stay an absolute pleasure. When I next come back to Antigua I will be sure to come back here.

Cute but need some work

Your place was clean and nice to look at! It was very warm when arriving and there was only one small fan which did not help very much. The windows need screens to keep the bugs out, large fans to keep the air moving and their was an smell from the container trapping the bugs. We did try to use it for two days but on the second day I was in the shower soaping up and when I turned on the water there was none! My wife had to wash me down with the rain water collect in the back barrow. I think it would have helped saying the a rental car should be rented for the stay, We move on the third day and if it had A/C and covered windows, we would have lasted for the 15 days.

O que faz essa propriedade ser Ćŗnica?

The quietness of the property despite being so close to the harbour activities and the sea makes it unique. The cool breeze through all the open shutters of the cottage makes guests feel they are sleeping right in the garden. The view of the green hills behind the property and the bird song during the day and tree frogs chirping at night confirms the natural beauty of the setting.
