Excellent value for price as compared to the resorts on the island. Adorable cottages with all the comforts of home right on the water and within walking distance of a secluded beach. Great internet and cable TV.

Beautiful setting on a lake next to the sea. Each evening, we were treated to a parade of cruise ships coming and going from St John's harbor. Small wildlife was everywhere, day and night. Our was furnished with everything needed to cook and prepare our meals. easy walk to the local beaches. A great to relax on your Carribean vacation

Yepton Estate was a perfect match for what we needed for our 4-day stay in Antigua. Our cottage was very quiet, clean, with an extremely comfortable bed and a very well equipped kitchen as well as strong Wi-Fi. The property is a bit off the beaten path, so having a car is a necessity if you want to get around. We did have a rental car and explored the island from there. There is a small beach within walking distance although we never found it due to a miscommunication but there are plenty of accessible beaches elsewhere. There is only one small restaurant within a short drive. For everything else you need to drive into St. John’s. Fortunately the manager had advised us in advance to stop for groceries on the way from the airport. There are plenty of supermarkets on that way. Overall we had a very pleasant visit to Antigua and Yepton Estate.

Lovely yellow cottage
Sent 4 emails before arrival and gotno reply. Decent cottage, comfortable bed, good shower. Sadly no helpful information about getting around, nearest places to eat etc. Pool small, but lovely after a hot day. Used bus and taxi to get around. Be prepared for very noisy tree frogs at night.

This was such a lovely and relaxing time. One of the best beaches in Antigua is a short walk away. Gabriela and Douglas are excellent hosts, with a wealth of knowledge of Antigua. If you are looking for quiet, secluded restful vacation, look no further.

The property is absolutely gorgeous and easy to find. The owners are wonderful. Gabriela went out of her way to provide a late check-in and didnt bat an eyelash. She also assisted us with getting to our next lodging destination since our stay was only for one night as a bridge to an all inclusive resort. She was friendly personable and even provided an upgrade on the cottage. The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was clean, had plenty of room and was everything we needed for the night. We only booked for a one night stay but if we didnt already have other reservations Yepton would have been our top choice. Please dont hesitate on this rental you wont regret it!

Not on the beach but near enough to several beaches and overlooking a peaceful, pelican-busy lagoon, landscaped with native ornamentals, self contained and very safe, this was a great find. Gabby, our innkeeper, gave an insider's shrewd advice on everything from great restos to where to park to see the market, and helped us find a doc for pre-boarding COVID testing, too. Our bungalow, like all of them, had a fully equipped efficiency kitchen, good beds, hot shower, comfy living area, GOOD LIGHTING!, and inside/outside dining tables. A screen for the front cottage door would be helpful, and perhaps some small repairs on window screening. And you WILL, of course, need to rent a car to get around. But this place was really pleasant, great value, quiet, and old school in the best sense. Very highly recommended.

These cottages are around a quiet lagoon. It is very relaxing and quiet. A short walk takes you to 2 quiet beaches which provide safe swimming but no beach bar etc. Gaby and Doug are welcoming and take you food shopping on the first day if needed and are a fountain of knowledge re places to visit and eat. A great start to our Antiguan holiday

My wife and I both loved this place. It was in immaculate condition, ready for two tired travelers. The owners went out of their way to give us directions to the place, told us about a dinner venue, then took us to their favorite place. Welcome wine at check-in, offered a local cell phone and gps for our needs. Gave us a rundown on the local conditions. We'd come again and unreservedly recommend to others!

Great self-catering bacation
It’s a common theme in reviews of the cottages, but Gabriella & Douglas truly are wonderful hosts. Whether you have been to the island before or not, they will have as much information as you could wish for to make the most of your stay. The cottages (No. 1 in our case) are kitted out with *everything* needed for a self catering vacation. Whichever cottage you select, you will also be adopted by Finches who will expect to share breakfast. The location was perfect for us, a secluded spot only minutes from St Johns. The view over the lagoon at dawn and dusk watching the cruise ships slide past is pretty special. The lagoon brings egrets/herons of various shapes and colours, ducks, moorhens, pelicans (“pelican... splash!” became a catchphrase of our recent stay), and mongooses. (Moorhens do not appreciate a proximate mongoose and will ‘growl’ at one.) Bring the most effective insect repellent that works for you. The seawater and occasional tropical rain = biting critters. You will be bitten. (It was my turn this year.) You’ll need to hire a car. Antigua is a cash-poor nation, trying its best, and the roads reflect this. Drive slow, eyes open, you’ll be fine. Renting from a big name firm may not mean ... previously we rented from a global name and the car was not what we’d expect in Europe or the US. This year we rented from a local firm and the service and car were excellent. Tune the radio to 94.9fm, kick back and relax.
