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

Banana Tree Bungalows is a wonderful choice for independent, self reliant travelers, who wish to enjoy a non-hotel/non-resort type setting.
The stylish, island style cottage is 1600 sq ft. with large, 12 ft wrap around veranda, which offers guests a versatile entertainment space, or the chance to simply unwind and experience the cooling effects of Antigua’s renowned trade winds.
The cottage can comfortably sleep four (in one queen bed and two single beds) with air-conditioning in all rooms. The kitchen is fully equipped with coffee makers, a Nespresso machine (please bring your own pods), a microwave, gas stove and oven and a many utensils for casual dining.
The living room and master bedroom each have smart TV’s with cable television, and Alexa connected. The living room also has a Blu Ray dvd player. There is wireless Internet so it’s easy to work from home. The property is safe and secure., and also contains a personal safe.
As your host, I get a genuine enjoyment out of meeting my guests. Therefore , myself or my housekeeper will do most of the initial Meet & Greets on arrival day. We are also only a phone call, WhatsApp or email away, should guests wish to connect with us.
Banana Tree Bungalows is ideally located on the south western tip of Antigua at Falmouth Harbour in the Parish of St. Paul’s. Guests at Banana Tree Bungalows can expect a peaceful environment to relax in. We are located in a residential village in the countryside, which is only a ten minute drive to three of Antigua's most beautiful beaches (Pigeon Point, Windward Beach and Galleon Beach), as well as only five minutes away from some of its best restaurants and hotspots.
Banana Tree Bungalows is conveniently located near a public bus route. Bus #17 will get you to both harbours as well as Nelson's Dockyard.I n addition, car rental companies are just a few minutes away, and we will gladly recommend a rental car company for you on your request. Your car can be delivered to you at the airport on your arrival or at your cottage ( should you choose our recommended rental company). Parking is conveniently at your doorstep. Whether you choose to rent a car or take a taxi from the airport, we will email you directions to your cottage before your arrival date.
Guests staying at Banana Tree Bungalows can be as active as they wish, as there is much to do within close proximity to the property.
Engage yourself in many of the nearby water sports and activities on offer including snorkeling, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, paddle boarding, horseback riding, tennis, hiking and sailing.

Bush walkers and hikers are spoilt for choice as many of Antigua’s best nature trails are close by and running enthusiasts will love the challenge of taking on the island’s hilly terrain.
Great for adventurists is the Antigua Rainforest Canopy Tours, a unique zip line tour through Antigua’s verdant rainforest region, or any of the exhilarating tours and sea excursions organised by Adventure Antigua.
The Spring Hill Riding Club offers many different rides and the stables are close to many beaches which gives riders the chance to swim with their horses in the beautiful Caribbean waters.
Play a round at Cedar Valley Golf Club an 18-hole championship course that caters to all skill levels, conducts lessons and has club rentals and equipment available or enjoy a set of tennis at Lucky Eddie’s.
We encourage our guests to visit Antigua's Donkey Sanctuary, a shelter by the Humane Society, for over 150 donkeys. Visitors are allowed to pet, groom and even 'adopt' their own local donkey. They also provide a unique opportunity to observe our local fauna. Interacting with these gentle creatures will forever remain an extraordinary experience in your island adventures. Visit Laviscount island to see giant tortoises, rescued from another continent after a natural disaster.
Guests can of course simply sit back relax and enjoy sun, sand and sea. The Catamaran Club Beach is just a five-minute walk from Banana Tree Bungalows and the excellent Pigeon Point and Galleon Beaches are a short drive away. Falmouth Harbour, a major international yachting hub plays host to some of the world’s finest super yachts during the winter months and stages many world class events including the Antigua Charter Yacht Show, Antigua Sailing Week, and the Antigua Classic Regatta.

There is a great selection of restaurants, cafes and bars and a number of nightclubs and live music venues including the breathtaking Shirley Heights Lookout with its unforgettable Sunday steel band and sunset parties.
The nearby English Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard, located in Antigua's National Park, are some of the most picturesque parts of Antigua and showcase the maritime history of the island as well as Antigua’s unique natural beauty. Step back in time as you walk amongst the restored original 17th Century buildings at Nelson’s Dockyard, the former home of Lord Horatio Nelson and the Royal British Navy.

Fantastic bungalow
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!

Our second visit
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!

Lovely stay
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!

Ideal Bungalow
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!

Visit to beautiful Antigua
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.

Strongly recommended
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.

Well situated cottage with all amenities.
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.

Very enjoyable stay
Really enjoyed our stay at the bungalow which is ideally located with beautiful views of Falmouth Harbour and surrounding hills. The extensive verandah was our favourite spot. Tracey met us on our arrival at the house and was very helpful throughout the vacation. A lot of thought and effort has been put into the bungalows to make them comfortable and functional for guests.

Great location, comfortable accommodation plus friendly helpful owners.
We spent a lovely week at Banana Tree Bungalows. Tracy sent loads of useful information before we arrived so we already knew what we wanted to do. On our arrival and through out our stay she was welcoming, friendly and helpful. The bungalow has great views of Falmouth Harbour, is very comfortable and had everything we needed. Everything was perfect and we had a lovely time.

Lovely bungalow with great views;
This was our second year staying in these bungalows, and both are excellent. The owners are delightful, greet you upon arrival and are great guides to the area. The cottages are tastefully furnished (sort of a Pottery Barn/Pier One look) - quite charming with very nice linens and towels. Although we ate most of our meals out, the kitchens are well-equipped with everything that you need. The front porch is a wonderful spot - expansive with a large dining table and a comfortable sitting area with large couches. A great view of Falmouth Harbor and the yachts at anchor. You'll need a car (although I think there are buses), and you are within minutes of historic English Harbor and Falmouth - with dozens of restaurants to choose from. Lots of beaches nearby. On our last day, we discovered Papa's Restaurant within walking distance - another local gem with a pool and beach on the harbor. The cottages are immaculate with nice grounds. A housekeeper comes in mid-week to clean and change linens and towels. We were two couples, and despite the one bathroom, it worked well for us.

Fantastic fortnight !
Tracey so helpful and welcoming; bungalow comfortable and tastefully decorated. Roomy fridge/freezer and useful icebox for collecting groceries, and a laundry room. Efficient air conditioning. Cool veranda with great view over harbour - spent hours watching the boats. Plenty of wildlife to spot. We were really careful with keeping the door shut and didn't get any mosquito bites. Property quiet and secluded but grocery store close by, bus stop at the end of the lane. Papas restaurant across the main road worth a visit. We did a week of chilling and a week with a hirecar from Titi to get to the beaches. Enjoy !

And Yes! Perfection exists!
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.
