About this property

Bluff House is perched on a Bluff overlooking its own private cove. It is secluded, breezy and beautiful. It is a three minute walk from the famous Half Moon Bay, a one mile stretch of white sandy beach boasting turquoise blue waters with both calm and tranquil spots to swim or waves perfect for body boarding and advanced kite surfing. On and near the beach are also two local run restaurants. Bluff House is a ten minute drive from Non-Such Bay and resort which is a five minute boat trip from one of the top kite surfing destinations in the world. It is a 25 minute drive from Falmouth and English Harbour with its historical sites, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, shops and one of the two largest Super and Mega Yachting hubs in the Caribbean. Bluff House boasts a swimming pool, games room (with pool table, darts, table tennis and surround sound), four outdoor eating areas, two separate en-suite cottages (sleeps two in each) with outdoor showers. The main house has a fully equipped kitchen with larder and pantry, a welcoming entrance way and dining room and comfortable lounge. The lounge has a 50 inch TV. The sound is played through a surround sound bose stereo system. All rooms in the main house have 4G internet access through a wifi router and large booster antenna. A local mobile phone is provided with the house for local calls. Separate to the main house and cottages there is a laundry room, generator room, covered surf shed and store room/office. There are electric gates with pedestrian side entrance that opens onto ample parking, a paved soccer court and gardens. The property is fully fenced in. Bluff House would be best described as a retreat. It boasts more than a 180 degree ocean view with not another dwelling or home in sight. It could best be enjoyed as a romantic getaway, or by two close families, or by a gang of friends eager to kite surf. It provides ultimate / complete privacy for those trying to escape the lime light and would be considered a writers dream! Bluff House is a lovely home with a family feel set in a beautiful location.

A Very Special Villa!

We have just returned from our stay at Bluff House which was simply incredible. It is located in the most special, remote setting by Half Moon Bay. We hired a car and travelled around the whole island but our favourite place was Half Moon Bay for sure. The Beach Bum Bar there is all you need and we will definitely be back! The house was so well equipped with bodyboards for surfing, music system, ping pong, pool…and the view from the table outside watching the pelicans dive into the water was amazing. This is a one of a kind house if you are looking to get away from lots of people and enjoy the most beautiful beach with the best beach bar. Thank you Pammie for letting us experience it. Katie

Fabulous location to truly relax

When we booked Bluff House, we drooled over the photos, counting down the days until we could experience it for real. However, the photos can't convey the impact of arriving at this wonderful house. The sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs, the beautiful cooling breeze, or the simple joy of watching the pelicans fishing for hours on end cannot be conveyed in any other way, you simply have to be there! This is a well equipped, spacious property, with the added advantage of being a 10 minute walk from Half Moon Bay, one of our favourite beaches in Antigua. Our favourite part? It's hard to beat the simple pleasure of an early morning breakfast on the deck, watching the sunrise. It is a memory which will stay with us forever.

Unique location close to a fabulous beach

Our family of 5, plus a boyfriend, spent 10 days over the Easter period at Bluff House. The accommodation was ideal and the beds so comfortable that we all slept better than we had for years, lulled by the waves in the cove and the soft breezes that replaced any need for air con. The house is shabby chic with covered outdoor sitting and dining areas where one can sit and watch the pelicans fish and the kitchen is well equipped. There is a lovely pool and Half Moon Beach is literally an easy two minute walk. Depending on the weather, the two ends of the beach are suitable for swimming and the centre is more of a surf beach. The Beach Bum cafe (Tipee's) serves excellent food but it is advisable to get there early or pre-order to avoid a long wait as all food is cooked to order. Bluff House was ideal for our stay and although it is quite remote, we enjoyed driving round the island to visit other beaches and restaurants and Shirley Heights on a Sunday or Thursday is a must!

Why they chose this property

Bluff House is nestled in it’s own little cove, right behind Antigua’s famous Half Moon Bay Beach on the island’s South-East coast. Located not far from the airport (35min drive), Bluff House is well removed from the hustle and bustle of St. John’s and in easy reach of the island’s iconic Shirley Heights, Nelson’s Dockyard National Park and the historic English Harbour.

If you’re looking for a secluded private property, with spectacular views out to sea - look no further !
