First visit to Antigua
Carolyn and Trevor were wonderful hosts, very helpful with great conversation and fun. Their apartment was fully equipped and comfortable. Old Road Village is a good location for exploring the best parts of the island and we recommend staying there with Ixora Vacation Rental.

Wonderful hosts, wonderful place
We had such a lovely time at Carolyn's. Her and her husband gave us the warmest welcome reception we've received. It was my grandmother's birthday on the day we arrived and our hosts were there to welcome us with lemongrass infused hot towels and a wonderful greeting. If that wasn't enough, when we entered the rental, Carolyn had taken the time to decorate it with birthday balloons and decorations in every bedroom, there was even a birthday cake for my grandmother! We were in tears (of joy). Throughout our stay, Carolyn and Trevor were available to answer any questions we had and support our ever need (like the time Carolyn ordered Antiguan breakfast and Trevor drove me to the place to pick it up). On the last day, they picked herbs from their garden for my grandmother. In addition to the fantastic hosting skills, what made this place stand out is the outside area. I spent hours in the hammock feeling like I was in heaven. The banana leaves rustling in the breeze on one side, and the ocean views on the other. Carolyn's place is close to many beaches that have beautiful sunsets (including one that is walking distance!), and we were able to see the sunset while we ate dinner on the terrace/balcony, which we had full access to. Regarding the place itself: everything was spotless, there's a washer and dryer, numerous snacks and fruit upon arrival, and a stocked kitchen with everything you need! We'll definitely be back next time we visit Antigua.

Super Hosts and Lovely Property
We could not praise Carolyn and Trevor high enough for their warm welcome, their generosity, hospitability and help during our 20 days staying in their lovely apartment. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They genuinely wanted us to have a good time and made sure we were not disappointed. The apartment was comfortably furnished in contemporary style. The kitchen was very well equipped. The cooking wares and utensils were all of high quality. There were plenty of towels and toiletries. We loved sitting on the veranda to watch the views and the sunsets. The garden was also a nice place to relax. Morris Bay is just 5 mins walk away. It is a lovely quiet beach and not overcrowded. Places to eat are a bit limited in the village. You do need a car. The road going up to the house is unpaved with portholes. Extra care is required for the bumps. We had a fabulous time and a memorable Caribbean experience. Thank you again to our great hosts!

A great property and a great host
We stayed at Carolyn’s place in January 24 for a week. The property is recently fitted out , with superb kitchen facilities and an excellent bathroom. The a/c is available in all major rooms separately. The property is spotlessly clean. It can sleep up to two couples . Having washing facilities was also very welcome. Breakfast and sundowners on the outside area was delightful too. The thing that makes it special is Carolyn and Trevor. They are such fantastic hosts, and care deeply about their guests having a good time. Carolyn helped us out with local dining and booked us into a local cook out in Urlings that enabled us to meet locals and eat local. As it says in the listing, a car is essential , for whilst the local beach is a short walk, most dining options aren’t. We would highly recommend staying here .

Fantastic hosts for our first stay in Antigua
We had the pleasure to stay at Ixora Vacational Rental with Carolyn & Trevor. We enjoyed the nice surroundings of the villa. The apartment was very well maintained and furnished (nothing is missing). Hosts are extremely helpful and friendly. Nice view of garden and sea from balcony. Better to have a car to move around. Mostly quiet when tree frogs are not too close. We would return without hesitation.

Best Service From a VRBO host Ever!
This property and its hosts aim to please their guests. Upon our arrival, we were treated to wet towels to wipe our hands. The hosts both wore the villa's logo on their customized uniforms. We then knew that we would be in for superior guest services, indeed. The unit was as photographed and advertised. The space was large with its two bedrooms. The bed was fine. The air conditioners worked well. The garden surrounding the apartment was beautiful. We spent a great deal of time on the veranda, as a constant breeze encouraged us to linger even after our morning coffee, breakfast, or dinner. Our hosts, Carolyn and her husband, Trevor, are simply a cut above the rest. Their attentiveness was unmatched. They provided great suggestions on events and places to score some local food. The location has a local neighborhood feel, but therein lies the charm. In the near distance, I could see remnants of an old sugar mill and also see the waves break against a sea barrier. On the very local front, you may see some cows roaming the streets. They know to curb themselves. Drive by slowly, and all will be well. In summary: wonderful property, excellent hosts, and apartment as advertised. Some surprise treats from the garden were additive.

Carlolyn and Trevor we wonderful hosts. Their hospitality was unparalleled. We can not say enough about this property and our hosts. We would give it a five star+ rating if we could. The property is in a local neighborhood away from the resorts which adds to it’s charm. It is well laid out with two bedrooms. A very well equipped and stocked kitchen and bathroom. It was very clean and comfortable. The view from the upstairs balcony was breath taking. There is a nice little garden and sitting area. The internet was great and there is a smart TV with hundreds of channels. There was a nice beach with in a 5 minute walk from the unit. It is also close to all the south shore beaches which are spectacular. We would definitely return and look forward to another stay. We would recommend this property without any reservations.

Best holiday accommodation in Antigua
This property was even better than the photos. The location was spot on 5 minutes walk to the beach, very green and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The position of the accommodation was elevated and we had a beautiful view of the sea, sun rise and sun set. Our host Carolyn and her husband Trevor were wonderful, very hospitable, warm and friendly. Everything we needed we had or could ask for. Our host treated my husband and I to a night out and took us for a walk in the local area to farm land where we met a lovely farmer. To me the going the extra mile to make us feel welcome and enjoy our holiday was exceptional . Carolyn and Trevor we consider as friends we will definitely will recommend them to everyone who wants a brilliant, relaxing holiday in a home from home environment.. We will definitely return to Xrioa, Old Road apartment for any future breaks in Antigua. Keep up the good work Carolyn, i know you will because you love what you do and it shows. Luv Beatrice

Christmas and New year's holiday
We had a great welcome Mrs Carolyn and her husband are 5*. The house has a very pleasant decor and has everything to feel like you are at home. Carolyn was always very helpful and helped us with two activities that we were having difficulty scheduling. Me, my husband and children felt very good, with the garden and a wonderful view. Access to the house is not very good, Carolyn advised us to get a jeep but we ended up renting a car, but with the care provided, it did its job 😜
