The Welcoming we received was excellent, Emsley was a splendid person to start off the holiday experience.Calabash villa is located in a wonderful area, close to a group of amenities. The only downside is the Aircon system which needs to looked at and possible upgrade.The overall process of booking and communication was brilliant. some equipment needs upgrading. The family love the Villa and the local beach.

We had an amazing stay at this villa! The views were absolutely stunning—sunsets from the terrace were unforgettable. The villa was perfectly set up for our group of 8, with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Communication with the hosts was brilliant throughout, and a special thank you to Jenny who looked after us so well—even thoughtfully texting us to let us know that restaurants wouldn’t be serving alcohol on Good Friday. It’s those little touches that make a big difference! We’re already missing the beautiful beaches, the peaceful poolside days, and those magical sunsets. We’d highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a special getaway!

Beautiful villa with amazing views and in a lovely part of the island. We loved the big spacious feel of the living room. Air conditioning was also very welcome.All of the bathrooms could do with an upgrade especially the showers, but bedrooms were well appointed with lots of storage & with lovely soft linen. There's plenty of towels provided for pool and beach. Pool area was great and kitchen had everything you needed. We had to change the gas bottle over which might be challenging for some as might the spiral staircase to lower bedrooms. There's access them from outside stairs once you have unlocked the doors.Something to be aware of - the road to the villa is extremely steep and the next-door neighbour has put up a dangerous fence at the bottom which isn't straight but curves inwards and has no reflectors or markers on it making it not visible at all at night time. It significantly damaged our hire car. The pictures on advert show the villa as secluded surrounded by greenery - it doesn't show the two new builds next door, one overlooking the pool area. Unfortunately, the noise proved to be very loud with angle grinding, tile cutting, drilling and concrete mixer constantly going. It really spoilt our stay. This was such a shame as it was lovely and peaceful when the builders were not there.Highly recommend going on the Jabberwocky Boat, Julia's, Dennis's on Ffryes Beach.Cosmore & Brandon the taxi drivers were legends and Antiguan locals warm and welcoming.

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.
