It’s unfortunate that the Galley Bay Resort that is located just beneath the Galley Bay Cottages is completely off limits and therefore dining is finding local eateries in the area that are not consistent with price, sanitation and food handling. You can access the beach just a walk down the path and it’s gated around the resort, but heaven forbid you touch any chairs! You will be scolded by security who monitors the beach line from the resort. The cabs are limited to 2-3 people who are often already booked to take people around the island so make sure you bring running shoes cause you’ll likely be walking your way around unless you wish to wait for a long while for someone to come to you. The overall cottage was nice, the cleaner came a day before I was leaving so I didn’t get fresh towels all week, and she stole my cigarettes. I had to pay over $100 upon arriving for the cleaning lady. I didn’t make a fuss about it, I just accepted it as it was. I will return to the island but will be making other arrangements that are closer to amenities rather than being placed at one end of the island away from everything. Overall experience from 1-10 was 4.

This property is not for someone seeking a luxury resort where you get waited on all the time. If you want a beautiful little shabby-chic cottage all to yourself, inside a quiet jungle filled with flowers and nosy birds, within a five minute walk to a gorgeous beach, where you cook for yourself or bring home delicious patties and local produce to cook, and where owner Marco attends to your every need, if you have any -- look no further. My family and I had a fabulous time and, if you have read this far, you probably will too. Some advice: it is best to rent a car and pick up some groceries on the way in, although Marco stocks the place with essentials like towels, paper, coffee, milk, etc. Also, some of the hills around the cottages are steep, and not for those with bad knees or balance issues. Otherwise, you will fall in love with the place. Thank you, Marco!

We certainly cannot recommend this place. Not sure why the good/decent reviews. Cottage is not kept properly with few if anything working right -- toilet that moves, stovetop doesn't light without match, just wooden windows that doesn't open/close properly. Frog, biting insects (even with coils everywhere), animals noises SO VERY LOUD all night long that it's impossible to sleep with fan, air conditioner, and white noise machine. We had to wear ear plugs AND headset to sleep every night. Can't wait to leave this place. Never again. Sorry! Only good comment is that it's near the beach. We love Galley Bay beach.

Dear Susan thank you for taking the time to express your opinion on Galley Bay Cottages, I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay, clearly you do not appreciate the rustic style of the cottages and been surrounded by nature that comes with its own habitants and sounds. Most of our guests love the sound of the tree frogs and birds and been surrounded by nature, it is clearly not your case. You could have told us that the choice you made was not right for you, I am sure I could have found a friendly hotel that would have match my rates and gave you a better stay. We often help each other on the island.Said that I wish you all the best Marco

The property is just gorgeous with amazing views. I stayed in the studio cabin. It was clean and nice. I had all kind of birds visit everyday on the porch. There is WIFI but no TV. Bring your laptop to watch TV. My suggestion to the owner is to get a couple of beach chairs for the cabin. The beach is right there but no chairs are provided

To start Marco was great, he met us at the airport. Then on the way to the property, he showed us the local market. Super helpful & friendly. Property is a little rustic but quaint. Did not want to stay at a resort. At first was a little taken back but warm up to the treehouse after the first night. Would suggest renting a car but you’ll need to be prepared for the locals roads. Only thing we had an issue with was the water pressure but it’s because the island uses cisterns to collect their water, so we learned to deal with it. All in all, we had a fantastic stay. Highly suggest going to Barbuda & checking out their beaches.

The Calabash Cottage was perfect for our party of three. It provided privacy while maintaining a sense of community. The garden views were everything we had hoped they'd be. The island sounds were pleasant as was the open-air concept of the cottage. The walk to the beach was literally 3 mins. The properties are perched hillside, which is a bit steep. No biggie. The only drawback is the property refuse location at the base of the hill. Marco was a gracious host and Omar was extremely attentive to our needs. Omar gave us a private tour of the Island along with stops at historical sites. We were all grateful to have met him.

The property was quite charming and semi-quirky. The view is beautiful! There is an evident termite problem in a few areas and the electricity went out at weird times in no apparent pattern for no apparent reason, but it didn't hamper our enjoyment of the cottage. The stove and oven had to be lit with the provided matches which was a surprise to us, but once lit, worked perfectly. I reached out to the property manager 2 times before our stay and he never replied to me. When my husband reached out to him, he replied. That was very disconcerting. Once we met him at the airport, he was very helpful. We had a rental car and we followed him to a grocery store and to the cottage. He stayed with us in the grocery store and helped us figure out the lay of the land. The 2 minute walk to the beach was easy and the beach is fabulous. I'd recommend the place if you're not looking for fancy. It's casual and quiet and perfect for 2.

Love how tucked away it is! Such tranquility within nature and so quite and peaceful. Marco is always so helpful and such a great manager, had to return for another visit and can't wait to go back 😀. Stayed in the Treehouse a couple years ago and this time in Calabash, would definitely love to go back and stay in the other cottages. A car is necessary if you like to explore and beach access is a walk away. Again, Marco is very helpful helping with info about getting around and places to visit and eat.

Tranquil Little Piece of Paradise!
I really enjoyed my stay at this special mellow part of the island! Galley Bay beach is amazing and very secluded, safe & clean. Only around a 4 minute walk to this beach from the cottages. Marco was very good at communication leasing up to my arrival and even went out of his way to thank me for booking. Also, he arranged for his certified taxi driver & friend, Omar to come get me and paid for it! Very nice gesture. Also, on the way there Omar stopped for me at the main grocery store so i could shop for 4+ days of cooking. Very patient and very cool & nice guy. Marco also didnt hesitate at all when i forgot cream for my coffee. He dropped what he was doing and drove to the store for me immediately. Very generous. If you are looking for a very relaxing stay and like falling asleep to the amazing sounds as the night strikes up with secadas, crickets and frogs... then this is the place for you! Lots of cool wildlife all.around the property. From birds, geckos, cows & goats across the field... it is a very magical place! I already miss it, and have only been gone for 3 days

This is such special place. We stayed in Spice cottage and could not have been happier. Set in amongst the trees with a beautiful view of the ocean. We woke up to birdsong every morning and walked along gorgeous Galley Bay beach. The accommodation was extremely well stocked and Marco helped us with everything. It's very quiet in the evenings, so you have to be willing to explore all the great places in the area. We took the bus a lot, which was cheap and easy to navigate. The local village has a bar, a small shop and restaurant. But you've also got St John's nearby and Jolly Harbour. The other beaches in the area are walkable and also really wonderful to visit. Sublime!

The cottage is adorable and located only a 4 minute walk to the beach.This is a perfect place if you want a nice, quiet vacation and have a rental car. There isn't much going on in the immediate area, except there is a small restaurant (only 2 tables) within walking distance. If you want more restaurant choices and you don't have a car, you will need to call a taxi (they're expensive). It is possible to take a bus, but they don't run very often in the smaller village. The cottage has free WiFi, which was good at first, but then it was sporadic the last 2 days we were there. We were unlucky with the weather and had rain for a few days, which made the walkway to our cottage slippery in about a 5 or 6 foot section. The rest of the walkway was fine; it was just the one sloped section that was slippery when it was wet. Overall, it is a lovely cottage and I would stay there again as long as I have a rental car.

I booked Marcos Galley Bay cottages based on great reviews I read on Expedia. It wasn’t our first time in the Caribbean Islands, but I may say it was the best. Marco is truly super host, and kind and generous person. He was accommodating us with whatever we needed. He picked us up in the airport and also drove us back at the day of our departure. The cottages offered us a perfect retreat. They are located on the hill facing beautiful Caribbean Sea, just above Galley bay. They are surrounded by tropical trees and vegetation. Every morning we were waking up to a beautiful view and fresh breeze of the sea, and singing of the birds. There is also great place for doing tai chi or yoga on the wooden platform above the cottages. The location is perfect – 4 minutes walk to Galley Bay gorgeous beach, which was never crowded; not far away from St Johns - if you don’t want to rent a car, there is a local bus from Five Island Village (10 minutes walk), which can take you to town. The place was clean and tidy, beds were comfortable. There is no ac in the cottage, but you don’t need one. Actually it would only spoil the energy of the whole place. I cannot wait to come back to the cottages and stay there longer than a week. Thank you Marco!

Authentic Caribbean experience
We stayed in Spice Cottage for 4 days after visiting BVI. Marco is a fabulous host who met us at the airport and helped with our car hire (Titi) and took us to the cottage. The cottage is set in a beautiful wooded area with lots of interesting wildlife. The nets over the beds were very welcome as there were definitley mossies. The cottage has all the facilities you could need, except for A/C. This only adds to the experience as falling asleep at night listening to the birds outside was lovely. The upstairs bedroom is not suitable for people with mobility issues. Galley Bay nearby is gorgeous although you can't use the facilities as it's an all-inclusive resort. You definitley want to hire a car and explore the island, we'd highly recommend Darkwood Beach and Nelson's Harbour. A fabulous place to stay and would definitely go back.

Private, True Island Experience, Personal Touch
Perfect is hardly the word to describe our experience at Galley Bay Cottages. If you are looking for a True Island feel with all the amenities as well as great assistance from the Property Manager. We spent a weekend at the property to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday as she is 100% city born and raised and never experienced the island life. Location - A bit off the beaten path so a car is recommended. We also wanted to explore the island so we opted for a rental from the airport. Marco the host was in constant contact from the time of booking up until before our flight. This personal touch is priceless to me. Marco couldn't make it himself however he made arrangements to have his colleague meet us at the airport to show us the way back to the cottages, WOW! He was nice enough to assist us with luggage and getting our rental car. Along the way showed us to the grocery store where we store where we were able to stock up on supplies (food, snacks, beer, liquor etc) all at our on leisure and pace. Our host showed us to the cottage (Tree House) gave us a tour and made sure we didn't require any further assistance. The cottage has beautiful views and everything you need along with an adequately equipped kitchen. As with any Caribbean country anywhere you go look out for bugs. We got mosquito repellent bands that you can wear 24/7 from a popular online shopping site. In closing our experience at the cottage was simply amazing.

Charming secluded hillside cottage
We stayed in Spice Cottage and it was charming! The cottage is lovely and closer to the beach than it appears, access really is just a minute or two down the road. It is very secluded and quiet so you really do need a car. It was equipped with coffee, tea and milk upon our arrival. The sound of the birds was amazing, it has a very rural feel and I was very glad to see that aspect of Antigua, all the while being just a couple of minutes from an exquisite beach. We had enough groceries for a couple of days and it was so very peaceful.
