There were seven of us and we had plenty of room! The bedrooms are spacious, and the room with two beds actually has two double beds (rather than two twins). The kitchen was well stocked with plates, glasses, bowls, etc. I would HIGLY recommend renting a golf cart for your visit. We rented two and were able to easily traverse to the beach, grocery store and plenty of restaurants. We used beach chairs and umbrellas at the Pop Up Beach Bar on Jolly Beach and did several excursions around the island. It was truly magnificent! ##### Laura U. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul C. 23 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Villa The Villa is ideally located on the outskirts of Jolly Harbour Marina. One of the best beach’s on the island, Jolly Harbour Beach, is just a short walk away. A large supermarket in the marina comes in very useful, as does a nearby car hire shop and restaurants. The Villa is spacious, well decorated & well equipped to suit the occupiers needs. We had 7 (4 Adults, 3 kids) in the villa and it’s 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms handled that with ease. Having your own private pool is ideal, set within lovely garden surroundings. There’s useful extras such as return airport transfers included, gas BBQ, aircon, wifi, cable tv, water cooler, safe, beach towels, a number of sun loungers and outdoor furniture. This was our 2nd stay in this villa and our 3rd in this particular road. Location is ideal. Décor & appearance of the villa is of a high standard. The owner, Sue, is always quick to reply, helpful & reliable. A great holiday in a great villa. ##### Paul C.

The property is excellent. As the other reviewers noted it is much larger than it looked in the photos. The decor and amenities are lovely and the pool was a huge highlight, we spent most of our time at the pool or nearby beach. The house has everything we needed and 3 full baths were great for dressing for the wedding. Beach is about a 10 minute walk, excellent grocery store a few minutes away. Our first visit to the gorgeous island of Antigua, hopefully we can return. The people are all very friendly and helpful. We greatly appreciated this country’s focus on Covid safety. Mandatory temp checks and hand sanitizer was everywhere. All in all it was a perfect place for a vacation stay. Communication with Sue was fantastic, she gave us so much helpful advice. The property manager was extremely helpful before we arrived, once there it was a little difficult at times, but we chalked that up to “island time vibes”. Thank you Sue! ##### Ellen S. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane maunder 10 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Half term break We recently spent 9 days at this property. Having never been to Antigua before, we chose this villa for its proximity to the beach, bars, restaurants and supermarket. It was definitely 5 star and I would not hesitate to recommend it. We are a family of 5. There was plenty of space for us all and every detail had been considered. We loved the bbq and pool area and the ability to walk everywhere. Sundowners on the beach were a highlight. From the moment I first enquired about the villa, Sue was superb. She is a first class communicator, always responding quickly and provided comprehensive informaton about the villa, the area and the island itself. We had to delay our planned trip due to covid and Sue was fair and understanding. Mitty was our contact out there and she also provided a brilliant service. Mitty recommended a car hire service which again was first class. The car was delivered to our door at the agreed time and we spent a week exploring different parts of the island. We also took a boat tour 'Eli's Eco Tour' from JH which explored the off islands combining snorkelling and a hike. We very much hope to return in the not too distant future. ##### Jane maunder Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### barbara m., toronto 31 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great accommodations!! great location My husband and I, along with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law (my 2 daughters joined us the last week of our three week vacation at Calabash Villa) Our driver was waiting for us at the airport and took us to the villa ,which was a short 30 minutes or so drive. He was pleasant and gave us a lot of recommendations on what to do and not to do on the island. When we arrived at the Villa. The entrance was so beautiful, with gorgeous, abundant flower bushes and tropical plants. everywhere . The garden attracted humming birds and butterflies which was so lovely. The large pool was next to see. It was Great! We were greeted by Mitty (Propery manager), who went over some info. We were so pleased with the appearance and cleanliness of the place. It was spacious and decorated nicely. Much bigger than we thought. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bathroom was stocked with fresh towels, the bedrooms had fresh soft linens and blankets and many pillows. We had a safe for our valuables. The washing machine was a wonderful addition . Beach towels were provided . There were flashlights for our evening walk. The pool was maintained weekly, we had cleaning service weekly, the gardener came in to tend to the beautiful lush garden. The grocery store was close., just a few minutes walk, The beach was a five minute walk. We walk to Bodogs beach club ,where they provided beach chairs and umbrellas for free , With the understanding that we would get our drinks from them and have lunch there. The mosquitoes come out from dusk and last for about an hour and a half so ....a bug repellent spray would’ve been nice to have however we did purchase Off bug spray at the local grocery store The villa provided a coil bug repellent which did little to repel the mosquitoes. We use the barbecue often . We made quite a few meals, The outdoor dining table was used often, it was so nice to have dinners outside. There were lots of restaurants close by, walking distance. The WiFi was very good and reliable cable tv was an added bonus for those lazy nights . The Villa also had board games and DVDs and books. It is not recommended that you drink the water in Antigua so the water canister provided was nice to have supplied to us . We felt safe all the time. Sue was very responsive when we needed to contact her. Mitty, was always ready to answer any questions we had. We will definitely returns with the rest of the family. Thanks Sue! ##### barbara m. Stayed 21 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Garry F. 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My wife and I, along with two of our very best friends, stayed in the Calabash Villa from 5-12 July. The four of us found the space comfortable and well-equipped. The pool was wonderful, and larger than we expected. We would have liked to have had an electric dryer, but we knew the home didn't have one and planned accordingly. We also wished the air conditioning had been set slightly lower, particularly at night, as guests are not allowed to adjust the settings. The location was outstanding. The villa is very close to Jolly Beach, a grocery store, and several excellent restaurants. Jolly Beach was wonderful, but we also enjoyed Darkwood and Deep Bay beaches. For nearby restaurants we highly recommend the Fox House and Al Porto. The landscaping of the property gave a sense of privacy, as lush vegetation and flowers surrounds the perimeter. We only wish that the one neighbor's dog didn't wake us, almost with alarm clock precision, at around 0700 each day. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated that we had plenty of bathroom space. The greeting staff was also very accommodating.I wish there was a scale between 4 and 5 stars. 4 doesn't quite seem adequate, but I can't quite assign perfection. The home is lovely and we enjoyed our stay in Antigua. If you really want to experience Antigua, rent a place like this, get a car, and drive everywhere...from English Harbor to Devil's Bridge. You'll enjoy the adventure, and you'll be thankful that experienced Antigua. ##### Garry F.

We were four friends, so appreciated the space of 4 great bedrooms, with comfortable beds. We loved the pool area with sofas and dining area and especially the lovely view with the surrounding garden. We felt well prepared before we arrived with information about the villa, the area and Antigua and we were well looked after by the local teamfor anything we needed help with during our stay. We would definitely come back again. Many thanks! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aa7c9d23-c73a-4ba2-b928-9f6df22f7ce2-1745878725193.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise B. 11 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Villa The villa was wonderful and met our expectations.

The villa was spacious with large bedrooms and eat-in kitchen. While the living room was a bit small, we hardly spent time in it and opted to sit outside on beautiful patio. Both the owner Alan and property manager Jovanna were gracious hosts and responsive to all questions. ##### Shruti P.

This VRBO checked every box for us. From the initial booking with the owner and mgmt staff, they were very responsive to our questions and easy to deal with before and during our stay! House was exactly as described. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to stay in Antigua and more specifically Jolly Harbour! Thanks again for your hospitality! ##### Scott P.

Lots of space, good location within easy walking distance of Jolly Beach, supermarket and restaurants, and short drive to Ffryes and Darkwood beaches. The communication was excellent. ##### Ken M.

The villa is wonderful, fully equipped and spacious enough for us all. The bedroom configuration worked especially well for us (baby and toddler furthest away from living area). Beautifully clean with great outside space and gorgeous pool. We rented a car, but the walk to the beach and supermarket was an easy stroll also. Jolly beach is perfect for little ones, but other glorious beaches only minutes away by car. Communication was fantastic, all my queries and questions answered promptly, and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back! ##### karen E.

With less than a 10 minute walk to the beach and a 3 minute walk to the local grocery store the location of this villa was fantastic. The lush plants and garden are what really separate this villa from the others nearby as you feel totally secluded and honestly with the gigantic pool, enormous deck and all of the seating areas on the deck it made it hard for our family to actually leave the villa! ##### Jonathan P.

Calabash Villa was the perfect place for our first-ever visit to Antigua! The location is ideal: super close to the supermarket and amazing restaurants, and a quick walk or drive to the best beaches on the Caribbean side of the island. The house was clean and comfortable, and we loved lazy mornings and tranquil evenings on the lanai. The pool is fantastic—perfect for a late-night dip. Alan prepared us so well for what it would be like at the house and on the island that everything was easy and stress-free all week. The beds were comfortable, you can't go wrong with multiple bathrooms, and we loved being able to eat meals at the house (when we weren't out looking for the island's best roti, rum punches, and coconut shrimp, that is!). We rented a car and drove all over, from St. John's to Long Bay, English Harbour, etc., but quickly found that Jolly Harbour and this villa were the best, most beautiful, and most accessible and friendly parts of Antigua. We highly recommend Darkwood Beach for an afternoon of swimming and off-the-beach snorkeling, Big Head Lobster for a delicious dinner, and renting Calabash Villa from Alan. You won't be disppointed! ##### Bethany S.
