Peaceful Village studio 1 minute walk from one of the best beaches in Antigua.

10/10 Excellent
"After my previous accommodation plans fell through, I needed last-minute accommodations for my partner and I. It was off season in August and I booked with Kat and Trev late in the evening for a next day early check-in and I am SO glad we found them! The studio is perfect, I only wish we could have stayed for longer than 4 nights. The hot water is HOT, shower pressure is amazing, accommodations are clean, bed is comfortable. There’s a kettle and French press for coffee, and they even get you started with a 5 liter jug of water, as the water from the tap is not for consumption. They provided contacts for 2 drivers. Evi is the driver who helped us with grocery runs, airport pickup for my partner, and date night in Jolly Harbour, just a 5 minute drive. He is super kind, prompt, and a genuinely great guy. The beaches are STUNNING and easily walkable - maybe a 2 minute walk. Off season weekdays are quiet and empty - perfect for us! We rented a kayak and snorkel gear from Trev and spent several hours one morning kayaking to different reefs to see some incredible sea life!My *only* critique is that the AC unit is placed on a wall that gets VERY warm. I’m not sure if it’s the boiler location or what, but in mid August the split was set at 16C and the studio never got below 28C overnight. As a woman with hot flashes, this was uncomfortably warm for me, but that’s the Caribbean in August and I’m grateful any AC at that point.Book with Kat and Trev- you won’t regret it!"

"We stayed for 11 nights and were very happy. Apartment was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Alyson was very helpful if we had any difficulty. Would recommend a car to get around as taxis can be expensive. Lovely view and beautiful Ffryes beach is our favourite. Would have no hesitation recommending any of Alyson’s properties."

"Nice house, clean, comfortable and a great location. Darkwood Beach is wonderful and an easy walk. Of note, we had some heavy construction equipment working next door during our stay, and the only coffee maker we could find was a small french press. This villa would also benefit from some more comfortable/lounge type seating outside. However, I'd still be happy to stay here again."
