We had a wonderful stay at Calypso Cottage! The condo fit our needs as a family of 5 perfectly. Check-in was easy and Helen responded quickly to all messages. We enjoyed relaxing mornings and sunset evenings on the balcony with the gorgeous view of the Caribbean Sea. We truly fell in love with Antigua on this trip and would come back to stay here again! 10/10 experience.

Four of us had a wonderful stay at Calypso Cottage! When we arrived the key was in the lockbox and we went into a beautiful cottage with two large bedrooms and living/kitchen space as well as a huge balcony. Everything we needed was there! The one and only downside is you are up on a hill and you walk down the hill a ways to get to the beach but then you have to walk back up it which I only did once and took a taxi the rest of the time. My husband walked down and up every day! Helen the host was very easy to communicate with at any time. I definitely recommend staying at Calypso Cottage!
Beautiful view from the balcony!

We had a truly excellent stay at Calypso Cottage! The villa has an amazing view, great space throughout and a well equipped kitchen. The pool and gardens are lovely with an abundance of tropical fruits growing all around. The location is great for accessing the local beaches and there is a wealth of information from Helen on how best to enjoy the island. The pool has just been renovated and although the work over ran into our stay, Helen was very attentive to our concerns. I would definitely recommend this villa to friends and family.

The property was great - we all had space and the ability to hit the beach at a moment's notice was awesome! One thing we were unaware was that there wasn't AC in the living room - which was a bit unexpected. We stayed in our rooms to enjoy the AC, but could have perhaps used more of the living room if it was cooler.

Spacious property with two large comfortable bedrooms, set over three floors. The two bedrooms both have A/C which was great, although the main living and kitchen area did get quite warm and humid at times as there is no A/C in this area. Great location for Dickenson Bay beaches and the surrounding area, but a car is definitely needed to get around. Helen was a great host and responded straight away to all our questions.

We loved this place. It was my husband and I and my sister. Needed to work remotely during the week. Starlink connection. No issue. Very comfortable and modern. We cooked home a few nights and did laundry. Nice cool breeze that comes through the bedrooms. No need for AC really but it’s an option (it was pleasant just to listen to the evening’s critters chirping away). We slept well. Showers work great (good pressure). Beautiful view. Great communication from Helen. Easy to get in / no access issues. A car is helpful to get around on the island overall. You can walk down to Dickinson Bay (about 10 minutes) but the walk back up the hill may be a struggle for elderly people / kids. Also make sure to bring water (not sure if the water from faucet is potable). We decided to stay at Helen’s again next week as it’s really a gem.

Fabulous and great location

An excellent property 10 mins from the airport located by one of the best beaches on the island. Wonderful views and very comfortable accommodation if you wish to self cater when not enjoying the local eateries. A great place from which to explore the island on various days out. Hiring a hire is a must. Large supermarkets nearby. Lovely pool, what more could you ask for.

Lovely location

We really enjoyed staying at Calypso. It was a lovely cottage with a wonderful view. We enjoyed the location and the verandah very much. Only thing to note is that it doesn’t include any shampoo and such for showers. It’s not listed in the description at all so nothing wrong with the posting. I was just so used to having those that I missed that it wasn’t included in this one

Helen’s cottage was exactly as expected and as described in the listing. We really enjoyed the large balcony and spent many hours on it enjoying the amazing view. Helen provided many helpful recommendations, including phone numbers for taxis and other services, which was extremely helpful. The rooms are large, the air conditioning in the bedrooms is strong, and the space was welcoming. We highly recommend Helen’s cottage.

Beautiful beaches

Calypso cottage has a beautiful view. Air conditioning works wonderfully and there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Mid- week housekeeping would have been nice as towels required washing up. Dryer did not work and the humidity makes for a long time drying on the veranda. Cottage is set up nicely with a short walk to Dickinson Beach and restaurants in the neighborhood.

Dickenson Bay gem at Halcyon Heights

The property, pool and villa are lovely, well appointed and maintained. Beautiful view of Dickenson Bay, short (10 minute) walk to the beach. Nice and quiet for sleeping and both bedrooms are air conditioned. One has an extra (single) bed where our teen daughter slept, the room was spacious with a large wicker chair between our beds so nobody felt crowded. Our host was responsive, quickly answering any questions, and also left a helpful list of recommended restaurants. Highly recommend this villa and a stay at Dickenson Beach which has several great lunch and dinner restaurants and a gorgeous, silky soft white sand beach.

Family trip to Antigua

The property was fabulous for what we needed. We used it as a base to travel the island and see all that Antigua had to offer. It was useful having parking available and the swimming pool was just what was needed for a cooling dip on returning back home. The beds were comfortable and the balcony area was great especially with the fans on. We could have done with instructions on how to use the oven/grill and the WiFi was fairly non-existant unless you were out the front door of the property. All in all I would definitely choose the property again and would be delighted with what I got.

Awesome property with gorgeous water views!

We had a fabulous stay at the cottage! Perfect set up for us with two ensuite bedrooms. The outdoor space was fantastic. We spent evenings on the verandah after the beach and after dinner. The views from the verandah are stunning! Beds were very comfortable and linens were clean and crisp. Kitchen set up was perfect and very functional. Easy access to several restaurants and the beach. Internet service was great. Air conditioning in the bedrooms for sleeping was perfect! I highly recommend this property. We loved it! The owner was always available for questions and was very nice to deal with!!
