Communication with host prior to arrival was quite easy any timely. Arrival process was flawless. Beach access and location was amazing. Restaurant adjacent to property was excellent. Grocery store about 1 mile away. Plenty of activities available locally Le ferry to Barbuda or catamaran around island. But if you just want to lay on beach, listen to ways and enjoy water, this is perfect!

Excellent stay. Very responsive staff. Efficient unit. Best beach for swimming. Air conditioning is great in the bedrooms, kitchen and living room area do get warm as no air. Gaven and Stephen made our stay even more enjoyable. There is a laundry facility on the property which was a nice bonus and also a shared BBQ for the units. We used Pete’s car rental and they were great as well. Roads in Antigua are horrific just an fyi for those driving. Will definitely be back.

Nice clean property on Runaway Beach. Great restaurant (Casa Roots) next door. Nice beach; not crowded.

We traveled to various parts of the island during our lovely week and did not think any spot surpassed these darling villas in Runaway Bay. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Overall as expected - great view and location with nice restaurant next door. Staff were really friendly . Pounding Club music late at night kept me awake for a little bit

The property is just steps from the beach and the beach is one of the best in Antigua. The staff are outstanding - always friendly and helpful. Beware loud music from outside the property on Friday and Saturday nights until very late. If you’re young enough to enjoy it, go and join in! Otherwise, maybe check out on a Friday morning or bring earplugs.

I should start at the beginning...Runaway Bay, or locally known as The Barrymore is THE first place anyone should look to for beachside luxury for a getaway. My wife and I needed a quick trip to recharge and, thankfully we picked Antigua and this property! The apartment was beautiful, supremely clean and stocked with well thought-out kitchen appliances needed for a beach trip. We took a 15-minute stroll to one of the local supermarkets to grab food supplies to stock the fridge and cabinets. Even though, we walked there, we took a 4 min taxi back to the apartment. We made fresh fish tacos and enjoyed the magnanimous sunset on the balcony. Ahhh, the balcony...now, not every apartment directly faces the Caribbean Sea, but I'll bet if we dangled our feet off the balcony, the tide would tickle our toes! There is no closer experience to being on the beach, at the beach, or in the water! Allow me to get to the rest. The apartment has two bedrooms and two baths, but since we were traveling alone for this trip, we only needed to pick one of each. The shower was hot, the water pressure was great and large towels were provided. The queen-sized bed was Goldilocks-perfect. The fans in the cathedral ceilings kept the apartment relatively breezy, while an AC unit in the bedroom kept us comfortable during the night, and it also helped to keep the mosquitoes that crept in during the day at bay. (a suggestion for mosquito-sensitive guests? Perhaps small Citronella incense for the balcony.) The sound of the sea lapping up while drifting off had beaten down the honk of yellow taxis in the big city back in the States. It told us that it was time to let the daily stresses of life melt away. And it was the first thing we heard upon waking in the morning...beckoning us toward its healing salt and sand. Beach towels and were provided, while lounging chairs were just steps away downstairs. And when we returned from the beach, there was a small tub filled with water next to the entrance to the door to dip our feet in to wash away the sand that clung to our feet. Nice detail, Runaway! Thank you to Brian, Linda, Michael, Jeremiah, and all the staff who took good care of us and made us feel welcomed. We will be back sooner than you can say, #7!

Ours was one of several apartments located on a wonderful private beach. The sand gently slopes into the sea making it safe for children. The restaurant Casa Roots is on site, has great staff and food and is a lovely place to chill. The accommodation is in truth a little tired however gets by as shabby chic and in truth did not detract from the enjoyment of the time we spent with friends. There was an issue that arose on a Saturday night that was addressed immediately and brilliantly by Linda and for which we are very grateful. Otherwise by way of advice, Casa Roots is closed Sunday evening until Tuesday evening and the nearest breakfast is Salt Plage which is 10 mins walk away. The nearest supermarket is a good 30 minute walk and is not cheap or particularly well stocked so would advise taking things that you want with you. You can order in food and have groceries delivered however would advise you to check this out in advance. We hired a car for a couple of days which was not expensive and helped a lot. Finally suggest you visit Cecilia in the Hilltop for a great venue for lunch and a little wine.
