Calabash 4 Bedroom Villa - Stunning Sea Views, Private Pool, Delightful Location

About this villa rental

Situated in Antigua and Barbuda, this attractive villa for $661 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Calabash is a luxury villa on a grand scale spread over two floors and offering really spacious accommodation for parties of up to 8 guests. There are fabulous views of the surrounding hills to the sides of the villa and a spectacular panoramic vista across the Caribbean to the front. The upper floor consists of a large living area and fully fitted kitchen; the master bedroom with queen size bed, a french door leading to the veranda, and an en-suite shower room; a further queen size bedroom with veranda access and guest bathroom; and a utility/laundry room. Double doors from the living room lead to a large covered external veranda and wrap round gallery with dining set for 8 and plenty of occasional seating. There is an external staircase and an internal spiral staircase to the lower floor. Here there is a day room with its own kitchen area, a twin bedroom and a queen size bedroom, both with en-suite shower rooms. The lower floor rooms open on to the large sundeck with swimming pool, plenty of sun loungers, a barbecue and a shower room with WC. There is private parking for up to 4 cars on the driveway at the rear of the villa. It should be noted that car hire is strongly recommended for stays at Calabash. The Palms is a new luxury villa development set on a wooded hillside in a delightful valley location with fabulous panoramic views over Darkwood Beach and the turquoise sea beyond. Darkwood is a very scenic beach, an island favourite and certainly one of the most photographed beaches in the Caribbean. Still unspoilt, with the island of Montserrat in the distance, it has two good local beach bars and restaurants with beds and shade. The location is peaceful and serene, yet is only minutes way from Jolly Harbour and several other bars, restaurants and adjoining beaches. Jolly Harbour is the largest and finest marina in the Caribbean with superb recreation facilities. A fine 18-hole golf course and a sports centre with tennis courts and a squash court cater for the actively minded, whilst the commercial centre has a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars, and a supermarket to sustain the needs for everyday living. For all its many amenities, Jolly Harbour remains a sophisticated and tranquil setting to while away the holiday hours. The construction of a villa on an adjacent piece of land commenced in May 2023 and this may cause some disturbance during certain hours of daylight and some loss of total privacy. These works are scheduled to continue until summer 2024.

Our family had an excellent stay at Calabash at the Palms! There were 8 of us (6 adults and two children ages 6 yrs & 17 months old).The description is accurate as are the pictures, but it is more beautiful in person. The view is amazing and it is quiet and peaceful. The kitchen is well appointed, we had breakfast every morning and a combination of lunch and dinner at the villa or out at restaurants.There is a BBQ grill available also if you want to grill out. Jenny was wonderful and helpful, and suggested great places to see and dine and Howard is very attentive with anything you need regarding booking etc. Both are very helpful with any questions or concerns you may have while in Antigua. The property is very clean and very well maintained. The pool is delightful or you can take a quick walk/drive down to Darkwood beach which is wonderful. It's very easy to feel at home and not want to leave. There are some great places to eat close by such as Miracles and Dennis', and there is a grocery store nearby with pretty much everything you need.You'll need to get bottled water I will add that you definitely need some mosquito/bug repellent for you stay as they can be pretty pesky when the sun starts to set. Renting this villa and a car is the best way to TRULY experience Antigua. You give yourself the opportunity to do and see things you normally will not if you stay at a resort and get access to more local places such as restaurants, and shops.You can buy local things roadside such as roast corn, ginipps, sweet apples and other wonderful things! Our experience was so great and we are referring all of our friends who want to visit Antigua to Howard.

We took a family vacation in July. We had a wonderful time at the Calabash. Jenny was the best! She was available to answer any questions or concerns that we had. There were a few maintenance issues, but Jenny ensured that it was taken care of in a timely manner. The house was beautiful, it was a lot better in person. It was a shock having only a TV in the living area (with 8 people). However, it worked out great! We were able to disconnect from the TV. Something that we thought wouldn't be possible. The water is not drinkable, so you would need to buy bottles of water. Jenny even brought us a big bottle of water on our arrival. The area was great and we never felt that we were not safe. The trip to St. John was a little longer that I anticipated, and the roads made it seem more longer. Before the trip, I was a little nervous about booking on this website (always stayed in a hotel). However, Howard was available to answer all of my questions and walk me through this process that was unfamiliar to me. Our family would definitely visit the Calabash again. Thank you Howard and Jenny for such wonderful accommodation.

From the moment we arrived and we were met by Jenny we knew we were in for a great holiday. The villa contained above and beyond what is needed for the perfect break. Plenty of room, superb views, perfect pool and so much more… and ended on a high as Howard very kindly offered us the use of the villa until we had to leave for the airport later in the afternoon… such a blessing . As a group we offer 3 cheers

We had an absolutely wonderful time!!! The home is beautiful, and the property manager and owner were very responsive and accommodating. The views and privacy are priceless. The only recommendation is to put padding on the beds which were a little tough to sleep on if staying more than a week. We stayed 10 days and plan to come again....

We had a wonderful holiday with our family in Calabash. Very large and luxurious Villa with spacious bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms. A well equipped kitchen and large lounge area with dining table and chairs. A large pool with sun loungers and chairs, and wonderful view over Darkwood Beach and surrounding area. Also a great view of the nightly sunsets. Also Gas BBQ with outside table and chairs which got well used. Howard and his management team are friendly and helpful and easy to contact for help and advice. We all had a fantastic time at Calabash xx

I have recently returned from a 10day stay with my girlfriends in this villa and it lived up to our expectations. The view is amazing! The location is quiet and peaceful. Darkwood beach is within walking distance and is beautiful. Both Howard and Jenny were very responsive though-out. The road up to the villa does require a SUV. I would definitely revisit this villa

Calabash was a beautiful escape with everything you could possibly need. The house is roomy, gorgeous and fit our party of 8 perfectly! The views are breathtaking and surreal. The house was clean and well stocked with all the amenities you could possibly need. Jennie was super informative and helpful and Howard had a grill issue fixed within hours. I would highly recommend this paradise on your next trip to Antigua! We will definitely be back!

It was a beautiful experience after the initial booking issues we had, The place actually looks better than the pictures tell, it has everything you need and more, it gives you the feeling of home away from home. Once you can get through the short bumpy stretch to the Villa, there will be a pleasant smile on your face, to say i am finally home. Thanks to Jane for her professionalism and kindness, I wont fail to say thank you to Mr. Howard who was around a couple of times to see how we were doing. In all, this Villa comes highly recommended.

Beautiful property with unbelievable views. Jennie the on-site manager was tremendous and very knowledgeable. We had a minor a/c problem that was timely corrected. I would strongly recommend this property. The only improvement we could think of would be a ceiling fan in the kitchen.

My family of 4 stayed here in the "off " season. The house is beautiful, well equiped, comfortable and I'd give it more stars if I could. We loved the privacy, the pool, the charcoal grill, etc. We also LOVED that the best beach - darkwood beach - is basically a 3 min car ride away - the brave could walk it - hills and very rocky. And most days - we owned the beach. Chairs, umbrellas and the like may be rented there. Jenny was very gracious and accommodating. She greeted us when we arrived, gave us a tour, restaurant suggestions etc. She was also there to say goodbye when we were departing. We loved the free pickup from and back to airport transportation that this rental provided as well. Only note of caution for American travelers; if you rent a car - (and it will be there for you at the house when you arrive) - the steering wheel is on the opposite side from American cars and you drive on the other side of the road than we do. We really feel one does need a car there. And the hill up to the house is a very difficult one to manage. My 25 year old son, with good skills and nerves did all of the driving there. But that was the one "challenge" to this trip. We found the people, island and its culture just awesome. We loved the trip!!!

My Party of 6 stayed here Aug 2-9th for Carnival. 4 Bedroom with 4 FULL Baths was perfect. Owners & Host Jenny kept in touch during the stay. House was VERY VERY CLEAN. AC Units works & also Ceiling Fans helped keep he House cool. WIFI & Cable kept us connected with the US. Darkwood Beach is just down the Hill, food, drinks and views. Washer/Dryer/Gas stove/BBQ grill on pool deck. Host offered Car Service but we frequent he island & our transportation was secured prior to arrival. Best Bang for your Buck. Will Most definitely stay here again.
