Christmas in Antigua

What a beautiful spot to spend our Christmas. The views are incredible and you can happily lose hours swinging in the hammocks. Would highly recommend you stay here. I am glad we had a 4 wheel drive car due to the road up to the house.

We really enjoyed staying at Cliffhanger, the best view in Antigua! Parts of the house are getting tired but we had a lovely stay. T’Mara looked after us very well.

Perfect Paradise

Simply couldn't rate my stay higher. Absolutely loved the Caribbean vibe within the décor & surrounding areas + the view couldn't be more stunning. I even got to see whales jumping in the sea while I sipped on my coffee. I didn't leave during my stay & would have stayed much longer if I could have. Sure hope I have the blessing to stay at Cliffhanger Cottage again sometime soon.

Wonderful

This is an amazing property and my wife and I had a wonderful weeklong stay. T’Mara is super responsive and kind and made it easy on us to relax and enjoy the beautiful island. Rental car is a must, 4x4 would be great for navigating the island and steep bumpy road to the property but we used a 2wd SUV and had no problems. I wouldn’t rent a small low clearance car. Oh and Jasper the cat is an amazing host and we loved having him hang out w us.

Stunning view!

My husband & I had the most relaxing time at this beautiful home. The view will take your breath away! We hiked to Rendezvous Beach one day for a swim at this beautiful secluded beach. We laid in the hammocks and slept to the sound of tree frogs. T’amara met us at our hotel and guided us to the house, and was great throughout our stay . I loved sharing our stay with Jasper the cat! What a diamond in the rough!

Paradise

We love Antigua & have been many times but this is the our first visit to Cliffhanger. It is a wonderful house with an amazing 180 degree view of the bay, including Falmouth Harbour. A perfect place to watch the yachts during Race Week. We love the cats, Tom & Jasper. Lovely boys & very soft & they enjoyed being with us & sleeping on the verandah. Katherine ensured that we had everything we needed & looked after us during our holiday. Cliffhanger is a very special place & we look forward to returning for another holiday soon.

Spectacular Caribbean Views!

We have just returned from a fabulous stay at Cliffhanger cottage. As every other review makes mention of....the views really are spectacular - we loved simply sitting and reading on the deck and enjoying the scenery! There was a constant cooling breeze for the 8 days that we stayed, which helped to make the temperature really comfortable (no problem sleeping in the bedroom which isn't airconditioned). We loved the walks to local beaches, including Rendezvous, which is about 40 mins walk from the cottage. T'mara was super helpful - always very responsive when we had questions ahead of our trip and both she and Noel were really friendly when showing us around. Thanks for a brilliant holiday!!

Cliffhanger Dream Cottage

Everything about the time we spent in this perfect house was magic! We saw double rainbows daily. The 180 degree view from the porch is amazing- no other houses in sight. The views from inside the house are gorgeous too. The cottage is open air so there is always a breeze flowing thru (and sometimes birds!). The shower on the upper floor is open to the surrounding forest- sublime. And such a treat to have Jasper the cat in residence! As soon as we left we wanted to come back!! And we will…..be back (depending on T’amra’s review😜)!

Absolutely the vest views!

We were fortunate enough to holiday here earlier this month and had the MOST relaxing island vacation. Katherine was so very helpful and pleasant in every question we had regarding our time there. The home was perfect, complete with the two cats. There were wonderful deck areas for every time of the day, whether you wanted sun or not. The home is well equipped with everything needed, and the kitchen even has many staples and spices. Watching the sailboats and yachts comes into the harbor was fun. There is a wonderful 45 minute hiking path right from the back yard to a deserted beach that you must not miss. Truly, the home and Katherine are a treasure!

Amazing views

We loved our stay (January 2020). Everything was as advertised and even better. You wake to views of sunrise over the harbour, lounge in the hammocks watching boats go by, and end your day with beautiful sunsets to the west where you see no other properties. You are surrounded by beautiful gardens that attract hummingbirds. We had planned to visit the island but could not leave this wonderful place! Although we did not use Our rented Jeep much and we would recommend at least an all wheel drive vehicle to get to this Cliffhanger property. Although I’m allergic to cats, I got to love seeing Jasper around and with the open air concept of the house, my allergies were fine.

Amazing, beautiful property. Comfortable beds, excellent kitchen full of utensils, 4-ring gas cooker, comfortable lounge area. Upper floor has everything (no AC), lower floor the 2nd bedroom (with AC) and bathroom (which is a short walk outside the bedroom). The lovely thing is the upper veranda with views from sunrise to sunset, rolling surf (with surfers) and Montserrat dimly in the distance. A cooling breeze blows here and there are two hammocks for relaxing. If you cut up and put banana on the railing a quantity of quite tame small tropical birds will come and feed as well as lizards. There are yoga mats provided and the upper veranda lends itself ideally for this, with beautiful views to concentrate on whilst stretching. Most of the veranda is quite private for nature lovers. The upstairs bathroom is especially wonderful with open sides and views to the blue sea and white surf and shutters you can pull down if you want. We didn't find mosquitoes were much of a problem but you need to keep some repellant handy.Another advantage is parking is very close to the property and on the same level. The road in from Falmouth is a bit bumpy and an SUV or 4x4 is essential. It's also quite steep in parts, fun to drive. T'mara is a really good host and goes out of her way to make sure everything is just right and a bit more. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you, T'mara.We stayed 6 nights and we could have stayed another 6..... ...and another... ...and...

Perfect home in gorgeous location

We stayed for two weeks at Cliffhanger Cottage, in late June and early July 2023. We were there for a youth regatta that was held out of Nelson’s Dockyard. Staying here was an amazing experience, and we enjoyed it so much. The views are absolutely exquisite, and the sea breeze key us cool all day. We liked having the downstairs bedroom with the air conditioning, because it was a little warm for us at night, considering we were there in summer. I can see how you wouldn’t need that though at other times of the year. Definitely get a 4 x 4 if you are renting here. I could not get a 4 x 4 at the airport. However, there is a car rental place in downtown English Harbor, that we rented from, and they were very reasonably priced. Jasper the cat is super friendly, and we enjoyed having him around, and fell in love with him. 💙 Everyone that works on this property is so nice, and I enjoyed meeting everyone very much. In fact, I enjoyed meeting everyone on the island. Our car broke down one day, and everyone stopped to help. Antigua is a friendly island, and I hope that we have the opportunity to return some day. If so, we will definitely stay at Cliffhanger Cottage!

Relax and unwind

Cliffhanger is exactly that....it is perched on the mountainside with stunning views in every direction! The most beautiful views that my husband and I have ever seen. The deck is our favorite place to relax and unwind. It is so peaceful first thing in the morning with the sun rising over Falmouth Harbour, a gentle breeze and the sound of the waves below. We feel embraced by the vast ocean all around us and the mountains in the horizon. The gardens below are filled with colorful flowers and birds. The house itself is perfect. Open air, lovely decor, small but well equipped kitchen,and a lovely master with four poster bed. The bathroom is one of my husbands favorite spots. He loves to shower with the view of the ocean and mountains. We could stay there all day. But, we do venture out. We love the hikes in the area. They travel along the ocean and go through forts with gorgeous views below. We are beach lovers and this is the island for beaches. All of them gorgeous! Evenings are also amazing with the sunset, the boats lit in the harbour, the star filled sky and the chirp of the tree frogs. There are numerous restaurants in the area. We enjoyed many delicious meals. Katherine, the property manager was available, helpful, and always willing to give suggestions for activities and restaurants. This was our third visit to Cliffhanger and we are planning to return next year!

Stunning views and so peaceful!

My husband and I feel in love with Cliffhanger Cottage, very appropriately named, from the moment we arrived. It was late and Katherine, the caretaker, was patiently awaiting our arrival. She had the cottage open and we walked out onto the deck and had the most breathtaking view of the star filled sky. It was so peaceful. The next morning was even better, with views in all directions, Falmouth Harbor, Montserrat, the gorgeous ocean and her beautifully maintained gardens. It was so quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck drinking our coffee and reading. The temperatures were perfect 75-80 degrees F. with gentle breezes. It was such a gift! The cottage itself, is small but perfect and very well done. Very comfortable, clean, well maintained and equipped with everything you might need. We loved the open shower with the view of the ocean. The entire cottage was so open that we felt like we were hanging on the cliff. We enjoyed the cottage so much we were never in a hurry to leave. We did rent a car and needed it to drive to the beach every day. There are several to choose from and they are all beautiful! Our favorite is Valley Church, it is gorgeous and not crowded unless a cruise ship is in that day. We also enjoyed the hike to Rendezvous. It is a challenging 40 minute hike but worth the journey. We drove into Falmouth every night for dinner and had great meals. Our favorites were Catherines and Sunra. Katherine, the caretaker, is available, very helpful and a pleasure to know. We enjoyed our time at Cliffhanger so much we are returning next year!

Cliffhanger Happiness: The People Make the Place

We hadn't been to the Caribbean since living there w toddlers. Booked this cottage to celebrate youngest's 30th. Absolute perfection--we're not hotel/resort people. We love quiet & solitude.That's exactly what this is--complete serenity. Location, views and open-window breezes are ideal. Be clear, though, it isn't just the cottage, it's the people.T'mara and Pauline went way beyond expectations to ensure our comfort and happiness, always. My daughter had an allergic reaction & they delivered benadryl & hydrocortisone! Also got to the root of the cause w unbelievable care & compassion. T'mara also helped arrange a surprise cake. If that wasn't enough, her reggae band saluted our bday girl at ShirleyHeights! The Antiguans we met filled our hearts, but none like T'mara & Pauline.Well stocked kitchen. Appreciated basics in place, so no need to shop immediately (again, relaxation). New fridge, hob has seen better days, but worked fine. Beds comfy. Hammocks...yeah. Yoga on lower deck (mats there). Gardens beautifully maintained by sweetest woman. Path down to tide pools & Rendezvous Bay (we drove). Awesomeness.Eating: Mauro's surpassed expectations. Colibri DIVINE. 268Brewery2 food trucks w drinkable beer. Tippys/BeachBum@HalfMoonBay-mahi burgers on the beach!Bring: Kindles/books (hammocks), binies for super-yacht spying,collapsible cooler, 4x4 (Sandy Feet)We lived overseas for 20 yrshave seen the world. Cottages like this are rare. T'mara & Pauline even more so.3

You’ll never tire of the view

Staying at Cliffhanger Cottage was so much better than staying in a hotel. First of all the views are unparalleled and you will never tire of them. To have the space and the big deck and a huge showers is better than any hotel suite. T’Mara the manager was so kind & responsive. She not only met us at the airport and directed us all the way to the house, she responded immediately to any small issues we had. The location is perfect, only 10 mins to English Harbor but still out of the busyness of it. You’ll need a small SUV as the road to get to the house is pretty bad but you’ll soon navigate it like a pro. Part of the fun. I would definitely stay here again. Oh and you should really like cats if you’re going to book. This is Jasper the cat’s house and he’s just letting you stay there haha. He’s very sweet and affectionate. We love cats so this was a bonus for us.
