Willikies, Saint Philip
'Song of the Sea' is a one bedroom guest facility with private entrance. It has one king size bed (or 2 twin size beds), closet, small refrigerator, microwave oven, and coffee maker. The bathroom shower opens to the natural garden. Outside there is a private patio with lounge chairs, table, and a barbecue grill. We are just steps from the sea and the snorkeling is great here. You'll need reef shoes to protect your feet from rocks and coral, as well as mask and snorkel to be able to see all the colorful fish and undersea life! This is a wonderful area for both accomplished swimmers and beginners because the area close to shore is only about 3 feet deep. Should you prefer a sandy beach, the gorgeous Long Bay beach is within 2 miles. There are a couple of restaurants at Long Bay and some local shops in the closest village of Willikies. We do recommend that our guests rent a car during their stay. You will surely want to take advantage of the opportunity to visit the other amazing beaches and scenic areas of Antigua. This is a small island (108 sq. miles) so everything is less than an hour's drive. You can swim with stingrays at Stingray City in Seaton's; take the Antigua Rainforest Canopy Tour; tour 'Betty's Hope', the restoration of a colonial period sugar plantation; take an Eco Tour boat trip; or discover your very own favorite beach from among so many! The possibilities are endless! Start your day with a very substantial breakfast (included) served on the upstairs balcony or on your own patio, then take off on the day's adventure - or choose to stay right here and enjoy the sun, the sea, snorkeling, hiking, experiencing the 'color therapy' of the sea and sky. At night you will be lulled to sleep by gentle waves, a pleasant sea breeze, and the songs of tiny tree frogs! There is nothing more romantic and beautiful than moonlight on the water and we have a front row seat for every moonrise. This is a place of peace and tranquility, perfect for contemplation and renewal of body and soul.
A beautiful and authentic private home in an idyllic position surrounded by the sea. Hosted by 2 lovely ladies who couldn’t have done more to make us welcome.
We absolutely loved staying at Song of the Sea. We haven't been to this part of the island before and its very different to the more commercial aspects. The description of the accommodation was spot on. Although there was no air con, we felt it wasn't needed due to a lovely breeze and a fan was sufficient. Katie was a lovely host and offered a rather filling breakfast to get the day started. There is a microwave available in the room and a couple of local places to eat approx five minutes from the cottage. She has two delightful furry friends who always greeted us warmly. Thank you for a lovely stay and we'd definitely go back
This was a wonderful stay right next to the sea. Our hosts were wonderful (and quite storied!), and the accommodations were extraordinary--at first we were missing having an AC unit, but we acclimated to the temperature thanks to our open windows and the constant breeze coming off of the ocean. Thank you again! We’ve been missing the gecko!
This B&B was simply amazing - everything we were looking for and more. The views were outstanding! It was quiet, secluded and off the beaten path and right on the water so you could be lulled to sleep by the song of the sea. Truly a hidden gem. And I cannot say enough about the hostesses Katie and Deb. Two of the most wonderful people. They were so welcoming and spoiled us in so many ways. We felt like we were staying with old friends. So grateful to have been able to stay with them. Would love to go back.
Song of the Sea is a stunning location. If you are looking for tranquility and privacy in a ruggedly beautiful setting, you’ve found your oasis. And the best thing about the property is the charming company of the hosts, Katie and Debbie, and their dogs, Suki and Hitch. Their knowledge of the island, it’s people, history and culture, and many other interesting topics, led to some of our most enjoyable holiday moments, chatting with them and swapping stories. As others have said, you need a vehicle, as attractions, restaurants and the like are not within walking distance. Getting in and out of the water on the volcanic rock shore of the property requires some agility. There is a small fridge and a microwave for storing snacks and drinks and reheating takeout. The room is very comfortable and beautifully decorated and watching the pink and orange sunrise from your bed is magical. The open air shower is a fun tropical experience. The home cooked breakfasts taken on the upstairs veranda are beautifully presented and delicious. If you are an art lover, be sure to ask for a tour of Debbie's studio; she is an extremely talented artist. We left feeling as though we had made new friends and finished our three location tour of the island with the most restful and rejuvenating part of the trip.
We looked at 20 VRBO properties before we decided to go with this. It was the best decision we could have made. The room overlooks a stunningly beautiful view of the sea. You hear the ocean and feel the breeze. At night, you are lulled to sleep with the sound of the tiny tree frogs. The bed is more comfortable than our own. The mosquito net protects you from bites and makes you feel like you are in a glamorous filmy tent. The outdoor shower is a tropical treat. The room is well appointed with a small refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffee maker. There are plenty of dishes, cups, plates, and silverware. It even comes complete with a selection of tea, coffee, and sugar. Katie and Debbie supply plenty of towels, including beach towels. They have even thought of small touches such as a hairdryer, a hand mirror, nice liquid soap, and a clothes line with clothes pins. There is plenty of storage and plenty of clothes hangers. Katie and Debbie treated us like family, in the best way possible. Katie is a very talented, gourmet cook. We had amazing breakfasts every day upstairs on the porch overlooking the water. Katie bakes her own bread, as well as special baked goods like cookies, orange bars, and brownies. She even treated us to a special dinner the first night we were there.It was such an honor to get to know these wonderful sisters. They have lived all over the world. They are kind, smart, talented and so interesting. We could not have been happier.
My wife and I had an amazing time here. Katie and Deb were the nicest, most kind hosts we could ever image. Can't say enough good things about them. The property itself was perfect for us. We quickly got into a routine of waking up to sound of the ocean breeze, watching the sunrise, then a quick swim/snorkel out to the reef where we saw rays, turtles, lobster and lots of fish. Back at the house, we would clean up in the outdoor shower, then upstairs where Katie would serve us a delicious breakfast on the patio (million dollar view!). Naptime, then exploring the island in the early afternoon. Late lunch/early dinner, then back to the house to watch the sunset and the stars come out. Do it all again the next day. Hope to return soon!
We stayed here 10 full days and it was wonderful , we would come back in a heartbeat, Thank you so much for everything. Carlo and Iluta
We loved our stay at Katie & Debbie’s beautiful home. Our guest accommodation was just as described. A very comfortable bed, stunning views and delicious home cooked breakfasts every day. Our hosts were very accommodating and helped with booking experiences and just made our stay so wonderful. The accommodation is off the beaten track and so not suited to those who are on the less adventurous side - but to stay here was truly an amazing experience that will be always remembered.
The views are fantastic and the breeze was refreshing. Katie is a great host and did everything she could to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. We didn't take advantage of breakfast everyday, but When we did it was very fresh and very good. This location is incredible, we would stay again without hesitation.
My husband Dan and I so much enjoyed our stay! The room is lovely and well appointed with a million dollar view. Falling asleep to the sound of frogs and the ocean was memorable. Katie and Debbie could not have been more welcoming and we felt we left having made new friends! Book here if you get a chance, you won't regret it.
