Antigua 's Yepton Estate Cottages are located within ¾ acre of landscaped gardens, on a salt lagoon that offers sanctuary to West Indian Whistling Duck, Pelicans, Blue and White Herons and many other exotic birds. The lagoon is full of fish and you can join the birds in a little fishing. A quarter mile of white sandy beach called Loblolly Beach (also known as Yepton Beach ) is within a 6-minute walk.

The cottages are laid out, like a string of pearls, around a central swimming pool and each offers a full view of the lagoon and the coconut palms lining the beach beyond.

Only a handful of individual, self-catering cottages are available. But for the sing-song of the tree frogs and the cooing of the birds there is little to disturb your serenity.

The Studio Cottages are suitable for 2 persons and feature a well designed room with everything in it, i.e. a kitchenette, dining/living area, a bathroom and, of course, a very comfortable king size bed.

The 1-Bedroom Cottages are larger and have a separate bedroom plus a double sleeper sofa in the main room for a third person.

All cottages are air-conditioned for extra comfort and have a nice terrace with a BBQ, and garden furniture where you can eat, smoke, or just enjoy the view. The 1-bedroom cottage also has a hammock.
