This villa was great and huge! Came with two friends and we each had our own bathroom and room. Definitely equipped for more people. The villa is outfitted with everything you may need to cook though we never did. It was in excellent condition and better than the photos ! The host is extremely responsive and the local property manager was great. We had some small issues the first day and it was very promptly addressed. Overall a wonderful place to stay, in a great location!

Beautiful villa, even better and bigger than the pictures. We had a lovely BBQ with our wider family on one day and there was ample space. Everything you could possible need, clean, safe, and lovely pool area. Would recommend to anyone!

We had a great 2 weeks at Calabash. The initial communication with Alan was helpful and thorough and Jovanna at the property management company was really helpful. The villa is within easy walking distance of Jolly Harbour and its restaurants, bars and beaches. The villa is clean and well equipped. The sun is on the pool most of the day - it’s great for late afternoon swimming. We took the bus into St John’s from just by the supermarket. It costs ECD 6.50 each return and gives a real feel of island life. Try Sandra’s Beach Bar for the sun setting and Sea Dreams the Sports Bar for a good value evening meal with entertainment. We all had a really good holiday.

Had a group of 7 girls at the Villa and it was perfect. Everything we needed and close to the beach, grocery store and restaurants. The Villa was very clean and everything was sorted by management. 10/10

Alan has a lovely villa with all the proper amenities necessary to enjoy a beautiful family vacation. Jolly Harbour beach is beautiful and calm (great for kids). I feel a car is necessary to see more of the island but there are plenty of nice restaurants nearby. There is also the Epicurean Supermarket walking distance which is well stocked , they also sell beer,wine,liquor. Very important also is the management team Alan has running the villa wonderful people and attentive to any questions or concerns you may have during your stay. Kudos to them. Thank you and hope to be back again for another visit. Rodriguez/ Velez Families

A five star review. The property was beautiful, the kitchen was well equipped and the location was well positioned for all the amenities. Only 10 minutes walk to the supermarket and 20 minutes walk to Jolly beach. We decided against hiring a car and decided to spend the money on day trips out and taxis as needed. The Villa management team (Jovanna) was always on hand and the service was great. We found out after we arrived, that we could have organised a golf buggy to get around but sadly these need to be booked well in advance and the earliest available buggies were in March 23. The pre arrival information sent by the owner was excellent but it was a shame it never mentioned buggy hire, as this would have given us the advanced heads up. If we return, we will know for next time however. The only downside to our overall holiday experience, which clearly is outside of the owners control, was that the surrounding villas in the immediate vicinity kept dogs outside and so we had to put up with intermittent barking during the day and howling and barking most nights, which impacted on our sleep.

This was my wife and my 17th trip to Jolley Harbour. We had two friends who had been to Jolley Harbour several years ago and our Niece and Nephew's first trip. The Calabash Villa is a beautiful property. The villa was well equipped with everything you might need on vacation. The management company was great, cleanliness outstanding. The property is however a 5-minute walk to the gate of the "Jolley Harbour Gated community" and 15–20-minute walk to the beach for me. A golf cart is highly recommended especially if you are a senior citizen. We ended up renting 2 golf carts to get around.

A wonderful second trip. A brilliant house in a fabulous location. Lots of space and lovely pool.

This place is beautiful. It’s just sparkles inside and out. Love love the pool. Mitty Thomas, our property manager, and her team were lovely and very responsive and to all our requirements. Can’t wait to re-book our stay. Alan, you have the perfect Caribbean spot and a lovely staff

We had a lovely week staying at Calabash Villa. It was as lovely as the pictures suggested! Fantastic flow of information from both the owners and the management company prior to our arrival. Mitty was superbly helpful and responded quickly to any queries.

We had a brilliant time at Villa Calabash! There were 2 families with kids and it was the perfect size. The pool was the highlight for the kids who were in it from 7am every day. Great height for our 7-11 year olds as they could stand so we could relax a little more. The location was perfect walking distance to the beach, shop and restaurants. The rooms are bigger than the photos look with great wardrobe space. And powerful showers needed after a salty beach day. It was really clean and the welcome was great to ensure we knew how to lock up, get on to Wi-Fi etc… Antigua isn’t known for its reliable Wi-Fi so being able to do some work was great. All in all I highly recommend staying at Villa Calabash.

Excellent service from start to finish , comfortable, clean and large enough for all the family

This Villa was really nice, very well equipped with all you would need to stay from towels to all your kitchen equipment. It has 4 really nice sized bedrooms with comfy large beds in all and ample storage. There are sliding doors leading out to the outside and the pool is a generous size with nice seating, lots of sunbeds and looks just like the photos. The only improvement would be to have a small amount of essential cooking items such as oil, tea, coffee, etc. Also finding the property was troublesome as the address was only sent to us on the pdf and it was not able to be found on Google maps. It is down an unnamed road on maps and a diagram showing the property's location would be benefial for future guests. Nevertheless I fully recommend this place to stay in Antigua and would welcome a stay again. Thank you to the management team also.

We stayed at the house for 6 days and had a great time. The house is even nicer than on the pictures and the kitchen is well equipped. The pool area is great

This was the best of both worlds! We were close to town/beach/marina but we also had space with a pool, amazing deck and a grill. We rented a golf cart in town so we can cart the baby back and forth from the beach (or it’s a 15 mins easy walk). We really enjoyed the house and the pool and we will definitely be back.

This was our families perfect property which we have been now a few times - decorated lovely very clean all new furniture indoors and out - close to shops and beach.Beautiful gardens and everything you need to be home from home - perfect !

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.

We stumbled across this property having had to cancel our usual stay at st James over the Christmas period due to covid. This villa is incredible. The house is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The outside space couldn’t be better, with a wonderful area to relax and dine as well as a superb pool and lots of loungers. The location for us was amazing. Easy access to jolly but just outside the village. We have been coming to antigua for over 10 years and this has been our favourite villa. We loved it and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed :D

We got very lucky finding Sue’s wonderful property. It was perfect for our two families. 4 large bedrooms, a great lounge kitchen area which had everything we needed, large pool and the location was really near the super market. The villa felt very private with the mature garden which was beautiful. Sue was very helpful in the lead up to our stay and Mitty was on hand when we were in Antigua to help with anything we needed. Thank you! We would love to stay again!

We stayed for a week in December for our daughter’s wedding. 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!

Sue was great to deal with and very responsive. House was large and layout was very functional and purpose built for the beach and pool. We had a comfortable stay and really appreciated the large pool, decks chairs and tables and outside layout. Love the area though road is a little rough and tumble and often was hard to find for even the folks who lived there. Nearby are fabulous beaches and barely any tourists. Minor points of improvement - blinds need urgent replacing and are from the 80s. Would be great if they stocked basics - eg olive oil, milk, bread, spices on arrival so there isn’t a mission to get food after a long days travel. Will hopefully be back.

Tastefully decorated and well equipped, this villa is probably the best in the area. Away from the bars and closer to the beach. A big piece of heaven. Go there!

We had a lovely relaxing 2 week family holiday, the photos do not do the villa justice, it was much more nicer than expected. The villa is in a great location on the island close to amenities and places to visit, and we felt safe at all times. Our children loved the pool, and the villa management team were always contactable to help if needed. Sue was also very helpful before we flew out.

Lovely villa in a great location. It had absolutely everything we needed and was very spacious and clean. The pool was wonderful also and the beautiful beach was just a short walk away. A fantastic holiday, we will certainly love to come back.
