The cottage was magical! Gorgeous view and beautiful gardens. The cottage is very roomy and the kitchen is well equipped. The daily housekeeping was very nice and the hosts were very responsive. We loved our stay and plan to return!
This was a lovely beach cottage, perched above a beautiful beach. Easy path down to the beach, and everything you need for the beach: chairs, towels, snorkeling equipment, etc. we were wow’d to find milk, bread, butter, cheese, eggs, bacon, & coffee on arrival. Very comfortable king size bed, great pillows and sheets. Extremely nice open port over beach, which is were we spent the majority of our time when not on the beach. VERY steep driveway that was easy to navigate once we did a reconnaissance and understood how to best navigate. Nathan was very responsive and the grounds, maintenance and cleaning staff were very warm and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
We absolutely loved our stay at Kai and can't wait to come back. The location right on Galleon beach is amazing and the cottage has everything you need. The beach chairs came in very handy on those days we explored the rest of the beaches on the island and we loved coming back and chilling out on the decks looking out over the yachts moored in the bay. Highly recommended!
K’ai Etoile is a Caribbean gem; a lovey cottage by the sea. It was all we had hoped it would be. At the risk of sounding unduly spoiled, my only suggestion would be to update the beach chairs! They are old, heavy, and somewhat uncooperative. Nathan and Clare were great hosts and we will return as soon as possible!
Our hosts were wonderful, the property was beautifully situated with an elevated view of Galleon Beach and English Harbor in a garden-like setting with bullfinches and banaquats friendly and interested. Just off of the property is a premier snorkeling beach, with nightlife on the beachfront. Within a couple of very short miles up the road is Shirley's Lookout, which has a great party with bar-b-que on Sundays and another great view of English Harbor, and just beyond an old 'block house' remants that offer a stunning view of the southwest of the island atop a 500 foot bluff which was amazing to watch sunrise from.
Many large yachts stop over in English Harbor, supporting a community of really fine restaurants covering a wide range of types and costs.
The property has a hot tub, is behind a gated entrance, and is staffed well by a housekeeper and property upkeep guy.
For a caribbean vacation, a stay here cannot be topped. We really could not think of how the experience might be improved.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und hat einen wunderschönen Blick auf die Bucht! Das Bett ist sehr bequem, die beiden Balkone sind ein Traum und insgesamt gibt es in der Unterkunft alles was man braucht! Vor jedem Fenster und den Schiebetüren sind zudem Moskitonetz, so dass man alles auflassen kann. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und es war der schönste Teil unseres Urlaubes auf Antigua. Wir können die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

We loved everything about our stay in the Kai cottage at Moondance! Clair and Nathan were very communicative , provided lots of area information and even left us a great assortment of snacks , drinks and wine. The property is tucked into the mountain providing privacy and amazing views of the harbor and surrounding hills. You can hike the gorgeous Carpenter Trail / Jones Valley Trail loop right from the cottage and can snorkel the properties Galleon Beach . We saw a nice assortment of fish, turtles and rays. Only a short drive to Shirley heights, English harbor restaurants and Local beaches. The cottages are beautifully decorated with a lot of charm and stocked with all the amenities you may need including laundry. We also enjoyed the hot tub and beautiful gardens. We would love to visit again!
We absolutely loved out time in the Kai Cottage at Moondance. Nathan was a wonderful host who helped check us in and made sure we were comfortably settled before leaving the property. The housekeepers were warm, kind and welcoming.
Great location for exploring all of English Harbor, right at the base of the hiking trails up to Shirley Heights. We would highly recommend Moondance to anyone visiting the island of Antigua.
Wish we could have stayed longer - hope to be back soon :)
