Vacation rentals with a kayak in Antigua and Barbuda

Frances is the best host I have ever encountered with Airbnb. She went above and beyond in helping me before during and after the booking. The villa is perfect set within St James Club but not overtaken by it. The quiet beach is seconds away and the views are heavenly. You dont really know you are in St James Club if you want to be away from it all yet it is there on tap if need be. The security is brilliant and we will return again. Thank you Frances.

We had an amazing stay at Kamisiky House! It’s even more beautiful than the photos depict. Gary and Val have created a truly special place. Everything about this home is comfortable and well designed. We loved being close to nature — watching sweet, little birds fly around the property and spotting eagle rays at the private jetty were particularly special. The bedrooms are super comfortable, and we loved listening to all the tropical night sounds that lull you to sleep. The pool and view are absolutely fantastic. And the kitchen has everything you need to cook very comfortably at home (we also really enjoyed takeout from nearby Reggae Village). Valincy, the house manager, is always available by phone and right on time for check-in and check-out (Thank you, Valincy!) The only problem in the end was how sad we were to leave. We will definitely return!

Barbuda is a place for peaceful pristine beaches, and adventure if you choose to seek it. This house located right on the beach offers access to both. A couple minutes walk brings you to the best restaurant on the island, Uncle Roddys. There is the best beach in the world right down the road 8 min drive away. Princess Diana beach, with calm lapping waves, and white sand. You’ll possibly be the only one there. Grab some drinks at shak-a-Kai , let Enoch know in advance and you can have lobster or chicken right on the beach. At the house, we enjoyed its peacefulness, shell hunting along the beach, and use of the kayak. Mr. Thomas let us rent his car for the week, and any questions or issues we had he was helpful. He came right down and helped an internet issue, and when we had a flight issue at the airport when leaving, Mr Thomas personally came down to help, and let us stay another night when we needed. I can’t say enough good about their hospitality to us, and the beauty of their isle.

Wow! What can we say that hasn’t already been said?! The Blue Pearl Cottage is exquisite - much larger and more polished than the photos suggest. The love poured into the cottage is evident, and the finish is excellent. Thoughtful touches like sun cream, mosquito spray, and even the offer to do laundry make you feel truly cared for. Arno is incredibly engaging - we had such fun with him on the snorkel tour and highly recommend it. We’re not sure where else on the island you could get a better experience or deal. The bay is very private, with incredibly clear and warm water - perfect for snorkeling, fishing, and kayaking. Long Bay Beach is only a 10-minute walk away and quickly became one of our favorite beaches in Antigua. We loved being able to keep the windows and doors open at night, thanks to the cottage’s privacy, and we never needed air conditioning during our stay in late May. Puss Puss the cat was the icing on the cake - such a gentle creature whose company we loved.

We had an issue with a stranger who followed us to the Airbnb. The host did a very good job to calling the authorities. We had a overall great stay, nice beach, friendly staff, I would 100% recommend.

What a wonderful, wonderful experience we (my husband, not yet 2-year old son, and I) had. Hosts Afiya and Asha were so easy to communicate with and so thoughtful. From arrival to departure and everything in between, we were so pleasantly surprised with a better than expected trip. The little touches really felt five star. And the accommodations felt exceptionally comfortable with how clean and nicely designed and well thought out everything was. We spent most of the trip scheming to come back sooner than later! We relaxed “at home,” on “our beach,” around the fire pit, ate from our host mom’s shop, visited the village, visited the Caribbean beach, visited a “nearby” remote bay beach, and still felt like we didn’t cover nearly enough ground!

The place is simple but adequate to what our requirements were as we were there for an event in Morris Bay and needed somewhere close to the bay. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the room was clean. There are beautiful hikes in the hills around the area and obviously we were never too far from pretty and calm beaches along the coast. The walk to the beach wasn't exactly easy to access and we didn't try but other beaches in the area were quickly accessible by car. I'd recommend the place and would likely stay there again next year for the same event as it suited us perfectly.
