Kittyhawk is a unique property in Antigua, sitting on Ordnance Bay with stunning views across Nelson’s Dockyard, the UNESCO World Heritage Site, yet only a 5 minute walk from the bars and restaurants of English Harbour. Pigeon Beach is a 5 minute drive, or a 15 minute walk, and Galleon Beach is a 10 minute drive.
It’s one of the few properties in English Harbour with its own jetty giving direct access to the water, with Galleon Beach only 15 minutes away using the house paddleboards and kayaks.
The property is built for outdoor living with a large gas BBQ, covered bar and dining area. Kittyhawk has 3 double bedrooms in the main house. All bedrooms have air conditioning, ceiling fans and white, high quality cotton bedlinen.
Two of these bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, with the third having sole, easy access to the house bathroom opposite.
Moving from the open plan reception area to the pale wooden decking the outdoor living areas are designed to take full advantage of the stunning views. Throughout the house you will find a selection of art from local artists, depicting beautiful scenes and images from around the island. Enjoy a dip in the private pool, soak up the sun on the sun loungers or have a cocktail in the shaded bar area while watching the sun set and the boats dropping anchor.
Explore a range of cuisine whilst in English Harbour, many of which can be reached in just a few minutes on foot from Kittyhawk or by water taxi from the Dockyard. Catherine’s Cafe famous for its music and great food on a Saturday lunchtime, Colibri offering refined dining in a Caribbean garden setting, Trappas serving curries and local delicacies, all of which are on our doorstep.
Should you exhaust the list locally then the island offers a plentiful supply of restaurants in beautiful locations including Sheer Rocks on the West Coast, The Hut off Jumby Bay and even Nobu on Barbuda!
There is plenty to keep you busy locally, horse riding in the sea, sailing lessons, snorkelling at Galleon Beach, fishing and hiking. We can happily help recommend activities for you. Energie gym, just a short walk from the house, will suit the gym bunnies in your party, offering daily and weekly passes.
Our local house manager and her team can help you with any aspect of your stay, from arranging airport transfers, to meeting you on arrival at the house, to being on hand should any issues arise during your stay.
The deck has plenty of loungers with a covered dining and sofa area. Dinners tend to be eaten outside on the terrace where the dining table is covered with ceiling fans overhead. There is also an outdoor kitchen area with a double BBQ under a sail awning. The large deck area wraps around the house offering amazing views of Nelson’s Dockyard and towards Shirley Heights. The kitchen is well stocked along with a large fridge freezer, range cooker, microwave and wine fridge. We are more than happy to suggest caters should you wish to have a night off or entertain. We have a guest book with plenty of suggestions for dinner, activities to enjoy and places to visit on the island.
