| My wife and I spent two weeks in this gorgeous ,secluded,paradise oasis.The Fullers are two of the most inspirational individuals we've ever met.Kind as it gets and more accomadating than any resort we could have stayed .I am on peritonial dialysis and my doctors sent two weeks worth of dialysis equipment to John and Sarah.They made sure all my gear was in place before I arrived.I left a necassary medication at home and the Fullers made sure I had a replacement prescription.We traveled one side of the island to the other.Becoming very familiar with the city of St.Johns.Shirley Heights is a must on Sundays.We swam with stingrays and snorkeled.Met some great people from all over the world all the while enjoying a tropical average 85 degrees and breezy everyday.The cottage is something from a dream.Waking up every morning to an island oasis was breath taking.Every morning I awoke to coffee and peaceful serenity as I looked out at the pool,which is surrounded by palm trees and tropical plants and flowers.Nothing but wind and tree frogs for a mesmorizing soundtrack beginning to 14 glorious days.If there was anything we needed,the Fullers would make sure we had it right away.We could not have met two better people and we could'nt have experienced two more adventurous weeks.If your looking to clear your mind,step back and and take a breath and put your entire life in perspective,there is no better place than Antigua.Clear waters,clean beaches,and to stay with the quality of people like John and Sarah is truly a blessing everyone should experience at least once.One more thing.Must love dogs.The Fullers have 5 dogs that are only around if you let them.Never bothersome or overbearing but if you love dogs like we do it was a joy to be around these animals.We miss you Leo,Riley,Dini,Kato and of course our little lady Lulu. |

| A review of Driftwood Cottage and vacation in Antigua: We had a wonderful 8-night stay and honeymoon at the Driftwood Cottage in Jan 2009. We had considered staying at Sandals, but knew we’d feel guilty if we left the all-inclusive expensive resort to tour the island. We stumbled upon this vacation rental home online, and we’re glad we did. Sarah and John (and other members of their family that came by) were great hosts and were fantastic in helping us find where to go and how to get there. The cottage (or pool house) is a great place to relax. There are many plants and trees to make you feel secluded. And the hosts have several really sweet dogs as pets, which we liked (they’ll stay away though, if you don’t like dogs). The veranda wraps around 2 sides of the cottage. The pool is nice and well kept, with plenty of lounge chairs and just a few steps from the cottage entrance. There are tons of books and games stocked in the cottage, along with towels, cooking utensils, etc. The window and doors at the cottage stay open, which gives a nice breeze at night - they can be closed though, if you want. We had a rental car, which we recommend. Sarah helped us review Antigua maps to see the best ways to navigate the island. Driving is a little crazy at first, as the roads are narrow. But it’s worth it to see the island. Our vacation suggestions: buy groceries at the Epicurian and make some meals at the cottage (to save some money, as the restaurants are a bit pricey). Walk to Jabberwock Beach to watch kite surfers, watch the sun set at Russell’s, hang out in English Harbor during the day, take Eli's circumnavigation tour with Adventure Antigua, do the zip line tour through Rainforest Adventures. Shirley Heights on Sunday night is fun, and Half Moon Bay is a great, quiet beach – both worth the drive. Restaurants to try: The Beach for pizza, Cecilia’s at lunch, Le Bistro for a nicer night out, Cloggy’s, The Waterfront for fresh fish. As with anywhere in Antigua (not specific to the cottage), apply bug screen and SPF often, if you are susceptible to bug bites or sunburns. We noticed more bug bites at dusk, and were too focused on our rum punch to reapply. As you can tell, we had a great time in Antigua, with lots to do and see! The cottage was a great place to come back to after a day of exploring, or just to hang out there all day soaking in some sun. We’d recommend Driftwood Cottage to anyone considering a vacation in Antigua. |

It is hard to imagine a better 10 days. The Fullers were gracious and welcoming hosts. The cottage afforded ample privacy. The pool was a delight and the location was great. A simple island treat.
Thanks, Sarah and John. |

If you're looking for own little private piece of paradise, look no further! Tucked away in a quiet corner of Hodges Bay, you'd never guess you were only 5 mins from the airport and about 15 mins from St. Johns.
This intimate and comfortable little cottage has everything you need for the perfect get-away-from-it-all holiday, with the added bonus of having the friendliest and most helpful hosts ever. It was just amazing to sleep almost in the open, and to be awoken by the sun coming up, the birds singing and the breeze blowing in from the sea. You only have to relax and enjoy, and you'll never want to leave! |

" Months of anticipation for a dream holiday realised at last - and exceeded expectation. Idyllic setting, everything you could wish for and more...we loved the birds, the pool, the beautiful plants, the places everyone suggested we visited. Couldn't do them all, we'll have to come back!"
