Avis Cozy House with Sea and Harbour Views, Falmouth, Antigua, Caribbean

We returned last week from the bungalow as a family of 4 with 2 teen boys. The location of the bungalow is fantastic, the views of Falmouth harbour each time you open the doors to the veranda are fantastic. The veranda itself is lovely with a dining table as well as a lounge type area, very comfortable. As soon as you walk into the place it feels homely, very "Caribbean" and the air con is absolutely fantastic - it got so cold during the night we had to wrap up warm in bed despite the heat outside! I would highly recommend a car given the location of the bungalow, it is very close to everything but there are not many places to walk to but that is the beauty of the place, it's so quiet but close enough to everything. That includes the beaches at Pigeon Point (our favourite on the whole island) and Galleon bay, a good selection of restaurants in the harbour and a few supermarkets which are all within a quick 5-10 minute drive. We drove around the island extensively as well as taking a full day boat trip, fig tree drive to the west coast is the most scenic part. Beverley the local host was v friendly at arrival & was on hand during the trip and Tracey the owner kept in contact during the morning of tropical storm Ernesto - otherwise the weather was fantastic in Aug bar a few showers which cleared very quickly, I couldn't imagine coming to Antigua during the busy season when it's full of cruise ships etc, the house is even better than the pictures, make sure you book this place!

My young daughter and I loved our first visit to Banana Tree Bungalow so much in 2021 that we decided to return with my mum for a second visit in 2024. The location is perfect to visit Pigeon and Galleon beaches and enjoy the tropical walks to Rendezvous Bay or Shirley Heights. The bungalow suited all three generations in our family. We enjoyed breakfasts on the veranda and games in the shade or in the garden. The housekeeper and owner are both very kind and welcoming. We will likely return for a third visit soon!

The bungalow is really comfortable, very well equipped and in a super location. Communication with Tracey and housekeeper Beverley was great. The house is a little tired and there are a few things that need attention, but we had a great, relaxing stay regardless and it is still excellent value. There is a lovely lady (Corona) with a food stall at the end of the road - super convenient and the food is great value and really tasty. Happy to recommend staying here!

The view from the veranda is beautiful and a spacious area to relax. The location was just what we wanted as our boat was within walking distance to the marina. The WiFi worked great. The mosquitoes were minimal inside the house and having air-conditioning was an added bonus for us as a lot of places we rent there are without. Enjoyed the BBQ and the kitchen was well equipped to make meals. Wish we had found this house sooner as weʻve been coming to Antigua for many years. Would definitely be staying here again!

Banana Tree Bungalows are well maintained and clean, and are in an excellent location on the quieter side of the island in Falmouth with stores and activities nearby. Communications with the owner and contact person on the island were efficient and they responded to all our inquiries quickly. We would stay at the bungalows again.

The Villa is beautifully decorated , very clean and the perfect solution for couples, family and friends. Five minutes away from one of the best area in Antigua, English Harbour. Communication with Tracey & Owen has been easy and they are very helpful in case of need. I can only confirm the best reviews that have been written by the previous guests. Strongly recommended.

You know when you rent a HA or Airbnb house and you always have the feeling that it misses all the small little attentions and touches to be just perfect? Well our Banana Tree cottage was the exact opposite: the most perfect vacation rental of all times, and we have had a lot. The place is totally beautiful, exactly as you see in the pictures if not better (the sea view is much nicer and the sea much closer that what you assume looking at the pics). Everything is really comfortable, decorated with taste and the house has a fascinating soul. Reading the previous review, I can't figure out how someone can say something negative about this place, or the hosts. Of course if you look for a resort type of experience, go in a resort, but Banana Tree is perfect if you are looking for: - the perfect location, close to wonderful English harbour, strategic for vsiting all the island and reaching all the beaches and best places in Antigua and faraway from the mass tourism crap you can find in the northwestern beach resorts such as Dickinson or Jolly Harbour (Don't miss Catherine's at Pigeon Point, Nelson Dockyards, Cloggys at the marina in English Harbour, Shirley Heights Sunday party, some of the most attractive things to do in Antigua and all at max 10 mins from the house). - the perfect house, complete of any possible amenity you may need (like, they have more things in the kitchen than I have in my cooking addict one). - The best possible ever quality/price balance. This house is incredibly well priced compared to what you can find in expensive Antigua. - The most attentive and kind host: Tracey was outstanding all over our stay, answering all of our questions and giving us a massive amount of precious information - A beautiful, peaceful garden with colibris and butterfly and a sunset view What else? This place met and greatly exceeded our expectations and made our stay in Antigua truly unforgettable. I feel blessed and lucky too have found it on HA. Don't miss it if you are planning a stay in Antigua.

- Coffee machine was broken and replaced after 5 days (neighbour machine at our request) - Air condition in the second bedroom works only on 23 degrees - Ventilator in the second bedroom is broken - Television in the master bedroom is not working (taken away and never replaced) - There is a least one mouse in the house (we saw it, dirt behind the oven an on the kitchen tray) - Toilet leaked, was fixed after 3 weeks, the plumber told us, that it leaked for months - Terrace was never wiped - Interior looks 20 years older than on the pictures displayed

Wonderful cottage, although close to all the nightlife, fabulous restaurants and the historic Dockyard, there was a level of privacy that was ideal for my family.

Great and helpful owners on top of everything nice neighborhood and safe
