Romantic Hideaway - stuga i karibiskt stil i frodiga tropiska trädgårdar
Den perfekta platsen att koppla av ... en stor pool ligger bara några steg från verandan och det klippta stendekket är spektakulärt omgiven av palmer och bougainvillea, orkidéer och liljedammar. Den energiska kan simma, de mindre så benägna kan bara doppa sig då och då när de går tillbaka till solstolarna och suger upp solen.
Den romantiska utsidan leder till den ännu mer romantiska interiören, som har en underbar 17-talshytt med king size-säng och höga luftiga tak. Boområdet är unikt dekorerat med belysning och tillbehör designade av en lokal keramiker. Det finns också kabel T. V., ett välfylldt bibliotek och en extra bäddsoffa. Spänningen är 110. Det finns ett charmigt badrum och fullt utrustat kök med grillplats vid poolen. Alla sängkläder och handdukar ingår. Det är en idealisk bas för att utforska Antigua, eller bara koppla av med en bra bok. Dina värdar John och Sarah Fuller har en mängd ökunskap.
Situation i Antigua: Driftwood Cottage ligger på norra kusten av Antigua. Fem minuter från flygplatsen och en 2-minuters promenad från Jabberwock Beach - den favoritstrand för vindsurfare och drak surfare. Det är också inom gångavstånd från 3 utmärkta restauranger, Le Bistro, The Waterfront och The Beehive. Båtturer och biluthyrning kan ordnas och St John's och stormarknader ligger bara några minuter bort.

Värdarna John och Sarah: Driftwood Cottage är en idealisk bas för att utforska Antigua och komma tillbaka till på kvällarna, eller bara koppla av med en god bok hela dagen och gå ut och upptäcka Antiguas nattliv. Dina värdar John och Sarah Fuller har en mängd ökunskap och älskar att dela sin kunskap; Sarah driver en fantastisk liten keramik och shoppar i St. John's och John, en berömd advokat på ön är också en historia och ekologi buff. Båda är oerhört hjälpsamma och ivriga att se till att din semester blir minnesvärd. Det finns en mängd information om Antigua och Barbuda i stugan och alla resor kan bokas när som helst. Vårt mål är att hjälpa dig att njuta av Antigua så mycket som vi gör och skapa en semester att komma ihåg.

Best Host
We had a good stay at the cottage but the best part was the host Sarah. She is a lovely woman with great tips on the island and just a pleasure to talk to.

Fabulous stay
I cannot recommend Driftwood Cottage highly enough. We spent a glorious three days-after a busy week sailing around the island in a catamaran. Sarah is a great host: attentive but respectful of our privacy. The cottage is beautiful and the pool and gardens delightful. A great, quiet spot but literally 10 minutes from the airport! Would return in a heartbeat!

Absolutely fabulous
Driftwood Cottage is a heavenly spot.Beautiful gardens, with a huge variety of plants ,surround Sarah’s inviting and relaxing open air cottage. Birds abound . Every detail has been attended to here. Art and pottery enhance the feeling . The pool is large and lovely. We enjoyed it immensely. A lifetime of TLC has been poured into Driftwood..No casinos or bars in the vicinity, but several lovely restaurants, and of course beaches and hiking all near by.If you enjoy beauty , peace, tranquility and charm then don’t hesitate. We hope to return soon.

Perfect long weekend!
Sarah’s cottage was exactly as she described. The gardens and pool were beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed listening to the tree frogs at night and seeing all the lizards and beautiful birds. Sarah’s dog Honey was adorable, and Sarah provided us with great recommendations for beaches and restaurants. We rented a car, and the cottage was convenient to all beaches..and a nice, relaxing place to come back to after exploring the island.

Charming, beautifuk guesthouse
This is a lovely guest house and pool on Sarah's property. It is authentic Antigua charm with a basic but fulsome kitchen, inside/outside living, and sleeping in an antique bed with mosquito netting. The area is quiet and the nearby beach lovely.

a perfect authentic getaway
This is such a wonderful cottage with an awesome pool. Sarah is the perfect hostess offering fantastic recommendations about the island. I liked the location in regard to finding food whether it's the great grocery store, superb restaurants and even delicious road stands. Since there are 365 beaches in Antigua and it only takes 40 minutes to go from one end to the other - you can easily explore a new beach every day.

Botanical garden hideaway
Sarah is such a nice host who made sure our vacation was pleasurable. The open air cottage was lovely and the grounds were beautiful, filled with a variety of tropical plants. Pool was refreshing and the king bed was luxurious. Location was very convenient to the airport. And the island is so small that we were able to easily travel to anywhere on the island with our rental car. If we visit Antigua again, we would stay here!

Beautiful cottage surrounded by tropical plants and trees
We spent a fantastic week at this lovely cottage and made full use of the gorgeous swimming pool and garden area.
This charming cottage contains everything that you could possibly need for a relaxing break. We loved sitting out on the veranda watching and listening to the wildlife and wouldn’t hesitate to return.
Sarah was an outstanding host!

The perfect retreat
Only stayed for a couple of days and wished it had been for longer. What a find! Beautiful cottage in a lovely garden. The verandah, with plenty of relaxing areas, was really special. We loved everything about the cottage and Sarah and John made us feel so welcome - what lovely hosts. We look forward to returning.

Doesn’t get better than this!
My boyfriend and I spent 5 days in this beautiful cottage and it exceeded all of our expectations. Sarah was an amazing host and was always accommodating and available to answer any of our questions. This unique stay is situated outside of the touristy area in St. John’s and is the perfect place to relax and be surrounded by nature. We will definitely be back!

Live like a local in Antigua
Driftwood Cottage provided the perfect Caribbean escape. Set behind a lovely pool in Sarah's magical garden, the rustic cottage is truly a departure from the usual day-to-day. Sleeping under netting in the beautiful antique bed and listening to the birds and frogs gave us a true taste of island life. Sarah shared stories from her many years on Antigua and provided many recommendations for our stay. We loved setting out each day to explore the island then returning to our little piece of paradise at day's end.
Thank you for a wonderful stay! We hope to return!

Perfect holiday cottage
We booked Driftwood Cottage because of the wonderful reviews, and were not disappointed. They are all true! We spent hours watching the different birds feeding in the beautiful lush gardens which Sarah has created. She and John are charming hosts and are very helpful in everything from where to shop, booking restaurants and the best way to navigate the local roads.
We enjoyed our two weeks and will certainly return. A magical place.

Tranquil, beautiful cottage
Sarah's cottage is terrific in every way. Well appointed, comfortable and everything you might need whether you plan to lounge by the lovely pool in her superb garden or get out and explore Antigua's amazing beaches. Sarah is a wonderful host who knows everything about the area - you can rely on her recommendations. There are a number of cracking restaurants within 10 - 15mins. Casa Roots and Cecilias get a special mention. Thank you Sarah 😊

Wonderful piece of paradise
This lovely open air bungalow is surrounded by trees and gardens in a large private yard offering a relaxing stroll. Stepping out onto the veranda one finds a comfortable dining table overlooking the beautiful large pool and poolside area just steps away. Sarah Fuller, the owner, is wonderful to talk to and full of information having lived on the island for over forty years. She takes a genuine interest in her guests and their wants and needs. The property is a short drive from several excellent restaurants and walking distance to one. We left knowing we have a new friend on Antigua! We look forward to visiting again.

Want to return
Driftwood Cottage reminds one of Caribbean cottages of the past: wooden rather than concrete, where all the living happens outside. There is a spacious verandah on two sides of the cottage, where one can recline in the shade, enjoy one’s breakfast or an afternoon drink, amidst the quiet peaceful park-like setting. Sarah is an exceptional host, supportive, knowledgeable and helpful. Her enthusiasm for gardening has made this a tropical paradise – indeed, one hesitates to leave the property, so appealing is the environment. A perfect place to relax and unwind. Having discovered this cottage, we are already dreaming of returning again soon.

Paradise reborn
Sarah was a super host, very knowledgeable of the island and helpful in every way. If you are at one with nature you will certainly enjoy the peace and tranquillity of bird song during the daylight hours followed by treefrogs and crickets in the evening.
The pool is perfect and Sarah's garden is a delight of form and colour illustrating over forty years of planting. For those wishing to explore the island I would recommend car hire that Sarah is able to assist with. Additionally, if you seek to self cater there is a first class supermarket a short drive away. For my wife and I staying at Driftwood Cottage was one of the most relaxing holidays we have ever encountered. All in all a delightful experience.

This cottage was amazing. I got everything I was looking for out of this trip. The lovely garden and pool were an added bonus. Sarah is wonderful and I’m so glad I stayed with her.
The bed was great. Having a kitchen to make my own food was great. I feel like I’m part of a secret society that knows and have stayed here.
I met some folks staying at a local chain all inclusive and they spent over 7k. They stayed one day longer than I stayed in Antigua. I didn’t pay anything close to that.
I enjoyed everything about the cottage and will be back. Thank you to everyone that made my stay restful and rejuvenating.
I arranged some tours through Expedia and did a google search for another excursion. I did not rent a car. I don’t trust myself driving on the opposite side of the road. I did not have any problems using a driver.
Have a wonderful time. Book this place! You will not regret it. If peace and quiet is what you’re looking for- look no further!

Relaxing and beautiful atmosphere
We sadly just left Antigua and Sarah's little piece of paradise. Such a relaxing place to unwind after a day of exploring or for morning coffee before a day of exploring!! The front porch and pool setting are amazing. Inside is everything you will need in the kitchen and the bathroom and the bed is a very comfortable King bed. We did a lot of exploring of this beautiful island and Sarah's insight was priceless. She recommended a lot of beautiful beaches and lots of restaurants that we took advantage of. It's a good location out of the business of the city and close enough to everything. You are never more than 40 minutes from anything on the island. I would recommend renting a car if you want to see everything this beautiful island has to offer or you could just stay at the pool which is incredibly peaceful and relaxing. Very thankful for finding this place and thankful Sarah was such a gracious and informative host!

Perfect Caribbean Cottage
We had a most wonderful week at Driftwood Cottage . Sarah was an attentive host full of useful information about the island and even arranged for an experienced sailing friend to visit and give us first hand recommendations for our sailing trip the following week . The cottage was just what we hoped it would be - a traditional building which had previously been a schoolhouse . We slept soundly in the enormous bed listening to the sounds of the night (tree frogs, wind , early morning birdsong) and waking to the sunrise . The pool and gardens were a delight , the pool wonderful for a swim or just to cool off and the gardens so mature , colourful , tropical . We hired a car and enjoyed exploring Antigua - easy to get around and lots to see . We loved Cecilia’s for dinner great food and ambience and also Casa Roots for lunch - what a location . We couldn’t have asked for more . Thank you Sarah

Blissfully Simple
Go for a luxurious swim. Sunbathe. Swim. Walk the gardens. Grill some dinner. Swim again. Life at Driftwood Cottage is simple!
We took each day slowly while staying at Sarah's cottage and still our trip passed so quickly, our singular complaint is that we couldn't move in permanently. The cottage is beautiful, private, and peaceful. The neighborhood of Hodges Bay is conveniently located relative to St. John's, the airport, and the main roads to get anywhere on the island quickly and easily.
Sarah was so responsive and we really enjoyed our little chat with her. She has a wealth of information about where to go, about the island itself, and lovely stories of her time in Antigua.
We would recommend Driftwood Cottage to anyone looking for an exceptionally calm, secluded spot that's not too far from anything.

Divine Driftwood!
This was a return visit and as I've said before it always feels like coming home. Everything about this cottage is stunning - the wrap around terrace which gives the cottage such a feeling of space, the incredible gardens, lovingly cared for and always something to wonder at (this year orchids growing from the palms!), the gorgeous hounds who are gentle and affectionate, the comfortable (enormous) bed from where you listen to the gentle song of birds in the morning, the welcoming pool (gorgeous to dip into when you want to cool down a little) and of course, the wonderful hosts, Sarah and John.
You know that these hosts really want you to enjoy your stay and they will do everything to ensure you have the best time. It never feels that you are bothering them if you need advice and they know the Island so well.
I warn you, it takes a good while to return to your normal routine on your return home as you will be sooooo relaxed! I can't wait until next year's visit!
