We had a great stay here and would recommend to anyone looking for a nice quiet cozy cottage not far from the centre but in its own own nature world ##### Katherine Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SHAYLA 9 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Very short walk to Galley Bay Beach.

Roomy, breeze through the windows was amazing, view is amazing. Short walk to beach, right down the hill, no beach chairs though. Owners were responsive when I had questions or needs. The driveway is steep and taxi's can not drive up, so just be mindful of that, you gotta lug everything up that so pack accordingly. I had a local that did my driving and tours which allowed me to fully relax. Beautiful island and property. Bed was comfortable! Will definately stay here again! ##### Billie Jo Ray Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sallie 9 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication There was a beautiful view, and very peaceful and quiet .

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 ##### Juanita Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Corey 4 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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. ##### Corey Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Iveta 21 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Our host was above and beyond. He met us 30 mins away so we could follow him to the cottages. He also stopped along the way to show us points of interest, local food, and access to the beach. The cottage was even better than expected. We had all basic ammenities plus more. Very well kept property. Beautiful view. Walking distance to the Galley Bay Beach. Short drive for a couple options of basic groceries and good open air restaurant food. (Also short drive to other beaches including Long Bay and Hawks Bill beaches. We also recommend going up the hill from his place to the top of the little mountain. Great view of St. Johns on one side, beautiful mountain view, and beautiful sunset over the water. We highly recommend giving this place a stay, our 3 nights there were great! Thanks Marco! - Rafe & Iveta ##### Iveta ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theresa Beth 30 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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! ##### Theresa Beth Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### SUSAN 30 Jun 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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. ##### SUSAN Stayed 11 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kathy Yvette 28 Apr 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication Disliked: Amenities 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. ##### Kathy Yvette Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve 17 Apr 2025 ##### Steve Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Luca 29 Dec 2024 ##### Luca Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meka 1 Aug 2024 ##### Meka Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jacklyn 14 Nov 2023 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort ##### Jacklyn Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Pierre 4 Aug 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Pierre Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jacqueline 14 Jun 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication ##### Jacqueline Stayed 15 nights in Apr 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ana 12 Jun 2022 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The communication and check in were smooth. Location is alright, 10min walk from the beach, which offers good privacy. Nice touches with sun cream, towels and some basic cooking ingredients (salt, oil, coffee, some cereals, and biscuits). The half-working grill let us cook some fresh fish. There is one parking spot for all cottages, which was great for our rental car, which highly recommend to have if going to this accommodation. The wifi connection is acceptable for a Zoom call. In total honesty, however, we do not understand the good reviews that led us to book this stay. The pictures seem much better than the place actually is. The cottage is little more than a shed which has clearly not been deep cleaned in quite some time. The fridge holders are very rusty, the shower curtain is dirty, and everything is very run down. The mosquito nets have many holes, which is not comforting given we found 8 large cockroaches one night that were walking over the bednet (picture attached), crawling out of various cracks in the cottage. The aircon is partly broken, we had an electricity cut for several hours and the shower is little more than a dribble, which makes cleaning off the beach sand an ordeal. Overall it is not too expensive compared with other stays but really bad value for money. We were hopping around different accommodations in the island and this was by far the worst price to quality ratio. We would strongly recommend anyone to find a better option if available. ##### Ana Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liza 5 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Excellent overall ##### Liza Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RONALD 24 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### RONALD Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### ratoni 23 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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. ##### ratoni Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Marina Hotels in Palma de Mallorca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palma-De-Mallorca-Hotels-Marina-Hotel.0-0-d2829-tmarinahotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Houseboats Bruges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bruges-Houseboats.d6155224-aaHouseboats.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [5 Star Hotels in Lichfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Lichfield-Hotels.s50-0-d4677.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [ibis London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Ibis-London-Heathrow-Airport.h16754.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Casa Sagnier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Casa-Sagnier.h75000051.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhayader-Hotels-The-Crown-Inn.h6272818.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Castello Lake Front](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malcesine-Hotels-Hotel-Castello-Lake-Front.h15255544.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Star Hotels in Borth-y-Gest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Borth-Y-Gest-Hotels.s40-0-d3000401276.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Tudor Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Tudor-Court-Hotel.h2541929.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Rose Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballybofey-Hotels-Villa-Rose-Hotel-Spa.h3584959.Hotel-Information) > > [Orchard Lodge, Exclusive Log Cabin, York riverside village 2m P+R, 4m city walls](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Orchard-Lodge.h22195615.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Puzzlewood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puzzlewood-Hotels.0-l553248621561940441-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [2 bedroom accommodation in Knipe Point, near Cayton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scarborough-Hotels-2-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-Knipe-Point.h61612177.Hotel-Information) > > [Lisbon Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-District-Hotels-Lisbon-Marriott-Hotel.h804622.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Exeter (EXT) to Dublin (DUB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ext/dub/exeter-to-dublin) > > [Virgin Atlantic Birmingham (BHX) to New York (JFK) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/virgin-atlantic-from-birmingham-to-john-f-kennedy-intl/vs/bhx/jfk) ### Activities > [Things to do in Antalya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Antalya.d481.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Lancashire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Lancashire.d6046220.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Newhaven Ferry Port](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newhaven-Ferry-Port-Newhaven.d796149196625727488.Attraction) > > [Japan Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Japan.d89.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Acapulco Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Acapulco.d179991.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Villasimius Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Villasimius.d182155.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Bergen Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bergen.d6048322.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Port of Olbia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Of-Olbia-Olbia.d6181892.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Crete](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crete.dx180100) > > [Visit Northfleet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northfleet.dx3000417099) > > [Visit Wellington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington.dx6127327) > > [Visit Ecuador](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ecuador.dx51)
