My husband and I just spent 8 nights at the Pinkshack cottage. I loved the privacy of the property, especially the front porch on our cottage, the perfect place for morning coffee. We had everything we needed, including beach towels! We were surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers. Our vacation began with a tour of Five Islands, led by our hostess, Sonja. It was very helpful to get a feel for our location, as well as Antigua in general. We heard quite a history lesson from Sonja who is quite knowledgeable about the island. We ended our 1/2 day tour with a delicious lunch at a beachside restaurant. We also enjoyed a private boat charter on a nice-sized runabout...we were able to enjoy the island from the water, and also spent several hours on the beach at Jolly Harbour. We spent a lot of time on the beach near our cottages, but we did take a day trip to Falmouth Harbour, the location of Admiral Horatio Nelson's Dockyard. The historical buildings have been restored and it was like stepping back in time. We ended our stay with a "night on the town", at Holly Beach Marina, singing karaoke until midnight, then onto another local hangout for a little dancing! I particularly enjoyed spending time with Sonja's fur babies - she has rescued 13 small dogs and is in the process of offering them for adoption. Two of her dogs were adopted while we were there! I wanted to bring 2 of them home with me! Overall, we had a very relaxing vacation and I recommend this little tropical oasis. We plan to return for sure! Thank you, Sonja! Best personal regards, Tricia & Glenn
