If you are planning a vacation and looking for affordable accommodation where you can holiday in Antigua, enjoy the natural environment and be a part of Antiguan life, Ellen Bay Cottages offers you an affordable, unique little taste of Antiguan hospitality that will fit right into your budget.
We are set one minute’s walk away from the local jetty, in the picturesque fishing village of Seatons, located on the northeastern coast of Antigua. This bayfront vacation property, with its one (1) and two (2) bedroom guest apartments, allows for great views of the Atlantic Ocean, which is very calm due to the presence of a number of small islands close to shore.

In the extremely friendly Seatons Village, a minute walk away from Stingray City, a short way from Long Bay and Devil's Bridge, a generally beautiful part of a beautiful island. Chippy gave us some fresh off the tree coconut and papaya, and we used the outdoor grill for a couple of bbqs. A very comfortable studio with everything you need, and a relaxing local atmosphere that is worlds apart from the classic multi-hundred dollar a night all-inclusives that generally mop up the tourists.
I can’t say enough about the owner Chippy. He was warm, welcoming, friendly and generous! Helped me with advice, directions, information and setting up. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else when I come back- it’s a very peaceful and quiet location right on the bay. A car wasn’t needed for me because the bus that takes you to/from the city is a few blocks down for $1. I’m an experienced traveler and I quite enjoyed staying here and away from the touristy more expensive places. It’s not real Antigua. This is........ Everything worked in the cottage just as shown. It was very cozy, comfortable and of course competitively priced! Sad to leave especially when the owner made you feel like family Thanks again
Our host was brilliant! Thank you for being so caring; you really made us feel at home! He offered fishing activities for us, took his time and gave us loads of information about Antigua and even went above and beyond to cook some delicious curry conch and fried fish for us! Highly recommended!
When I came to Antigua, I stayed on the top floor. I love the decor and the friendliness of the host. I was able to get a lot of site seeing done by the nearby Stingray City. The view is just beautiful and the room is very convenient. There is a kitchenette area and even pots, pans, utensils, cutlery, dishes etc. You also don't have to worry about any toiletries because soap and toilet paper were provided. Definitely a convenient and great place to stay.
Clean, functional with a fantastic view of the bay. Local shop and restaurant nearby. What more do you want? Would return again no problem. You’ll need a car I’d say but then best to have one when visiting this island anyway, then you can see it all!
I have been here two weeks. Ellen Bay is located in Seatons Village. It's less than 50 yards from the water. If one is looking for a quiet, relaxing place to stay this is the place for you. If one is wanting the night life, look elsewhere. Sally is fantastic. She is managing it for Bernadette who is the owner. I feel at home here. The locals are the friendliest people I have ever met. Everyone speaks to you. I chose well when I chose Ellen Bay.
Pros: Location suited us as it was very quiet and we met the locals.
Location: Stingray City is close by but transport is really needed to do anything else.
We stayed for two nights in transit and did not explore further than the surrounding area. A car is needed to do this. The nearest restaurant and shop was a 15 minute walk away. Ellen Bay Inn would have been the nearest restaurant but it was closed. Many, if not all shops and restaurants were closed on the Sunday. Not a place to stay without a vehicle or local taxi number although we were pretty much next door to Stingray City. Bernadette was away but her sister-in-law Salome was extremely helpful and a lovely lady.
Studio apt (#4) was small.but had lovely patio (big sofa, tables/chairs) which made the space seem larger. Bernadette the owner lives on site and is helpful, knowledge and made our stay very enjoyable.A rental car is advised for most guests but we managed fine without one.
