Exceptional waterfront villa, short walk to beautiful secluded beach.

A beautiful villa with balcony views over beach houses, towards the sea. A quiet retreat, perfect for 4, but with space for up to two more on the sofa bed downstairs. Enjoy uninterrupted soft sounds of the sea whilst you sip your morning coffee on the terrace, or enjoy a quiet evening as the sky changes colour before you with the stunning Antiguan sunsets.

The villa is just a stone's throw away from North Beach (or 2 minutes walk!), and an ~8 minute golf buggy ride to the hub of the harbour, where you will find charming restaurants from around the world. South Beach's inviting beach bar, Bodog (previously Castaways) is a friendly and typically Caribbean beach bar and restaurant to while away the hours with loungers and umbrellas on the beach.

We provide umbrellas and portable sun loungers and beach chairs for the quieter North Beach, close to the villa.

The villa has been upgraded and renovated and is full of Caribbean charm, with a well equipped kitchen and bathrooms. Each bedroom is en-suite, with a super king in the master and double in the second bedroom.

There is a golf course, gym and tennis courts within Jolly Harbour.

Congested parking, inconvenient location far from city. manager make us take out the trash & expected us to clean on vacation. It’s an older villa, roaches in the closet by kitchen area. They need to upgrade electrical outlets, no wash cloths. The unit is at the far end of the property, number not visible at night very hard to find. I have more not enough room to eloborate.

Caribbean Tranquility
We stayed at this property February 2024 initially just my wife & I but we were joined by daughter & son in law as a suprise for my wife’s 60th. The owner Lisa is very approachable and responded to messages promptly. The property is managed by Jenny who gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and showed us where everything was in the property, she even arranged a taxi from the airport, golf buggy and car hire for us. The property was very clean & tidy with good quality fittings and well appointed kitchen & utilities. The cleaners even came in to clean during our stay. Any queries we had during our stay were dealt with promptly and efficiently by Jenny. The location is ideal, very peaceful with north beach a 3 minute walk away, to get to the south beach, supermarket, Petals, Bascilca, El Porto & curry house you will need to hire a golf cart or car. We were very sad to leave and will look at this properties availibity when return in the future.

We have returned to this little piece of paradise several times and it is always a wonderful experience. The unit has all the amenities needed for an enjoyable vacation and great proximity to grocery shopping, restaurants and beaches. Both the host and the property manager are a pleasure to deal with. We keep returning to this unit because we always have such a great holiday there. It really is "a little piece of paradise!"

Great spot in a gated community in Jolly Harbor that is close to many of the best beaches in Antigua. Easy to walk to nearby beach and short drive to others. Community is gated with security, and was very quiet. We really enjoyed the back deck area for morning coffee and evening sunsets. Communication with the property manager was excellent and she was very helpful on providing tips and information on the property, Jolly Harbor and Antigua in general. Overall the property was clean, the bed was comfortable and there were plenty of towels, some beach chair options and even some bikes to rent. After staying in Antigua for a week, we came to enjoy Jolly Harbor and this villa was a great launching spot for daily activities and great place to unwind at night. Various dining options are located within the harbor area, and just outside, and we found all of the food to be excellent. There is also a grocery store at the edge of the marina that was well stocked for our needs. Looking ahead, when we return to Antigua, we will definitely consider using this villa again.

30th anniversarry trip!
We had a great trip and time celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Brought out 26 yr old daughter and her boyfriend for 7 0f our 10 day trip. The condo was exactly as advertised. Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen. Lovely large outdoor area out back overlooks canal and beautiful big beach homes. Get a golf cart to travel around. 7 min golf cart drive to the beautiful south beach. Grocery store is pretty large and stocks good items to cook some meals...about a 5 minute golf cart ride to get to it. Our favorite restaurant was la cantina, good mexican. 5 or so restaurants in compound about 5 min golf cart ride to get to them. The only complaint was portable beach chairs in condo were not good. Was expensive to rent chairs and umbrella at beach everyday-$20 US for 2 per day. Lisa and Jenny both super nice and responsive! Felt very safe in this nice jolly harbour compound. Thanks for letting us enjoy your home Lisa!

Jolly Harbour
The location and property was very good. It was very quiet which is what we were looking for. We appreciated the golf cart we rented so we could come and go as needed. Some furniture is soon to need an upgrade. The kitchen was well stocked with the required utensils etc. The bed was comfortable and the a/c’s all worked well. The highlight was our property host Jenny who met us at the villa, arranged our cart rental & airport transfers and checked in regularly to ensure we had all we needed. This was especially appreciated as we prepared for Hurricane Tammy which fortunately missed the island. Thanks Jenny!!

Beautiful location
We loved everything about the villa and the area. Jolly harbour was wonderful. The communication with the property manager was excellent. Really no details were left out. This was a really great alternative to staying on a resort. We rented a car and ventured around the island finding quiet secluded beaches and adorable beach bars along the way. We met some really great locals who gave us some Antigua history as well as places we should visit while staying on the island. If you are looking for more of an adventure over staying on a resort, I definitely recommend. There are resorts nearby that offer day passes as well if you want some resort life in your vacation as well. However, with the gorgeous secluded beaches around, I don’t think you’ll need it. Our favorite beach was Hermitage bay. Very quiet, beautiful and I found a few sea glass pieces on this beach.

Can't Get Better
This our second visit to the property and we were not disappointed. From the rental point of view I don't think you can get better. After our first visit, in 2020, we had to move our booking due Covid. Lisa was so helpful in accommodating our requests. On arrival Jenny, the manager, was there to meet us. Our flight was delayed but she was there to hand over the keys of the villa and also the keys to the hire car. Our mid week cleaner, Simone, was great and our taxi driver, Brenda, could not have been more considerate. My wife and I are in our late 70's but this was the perfect place for a great winter break. Thank you Lisa and all your team.

Another wonderful stay in Jolly Harbour
We have stayed in Lisa's villa several times now, and the unit never ceases to provide us with a perfect holiday. The unit is immaculately maintained and the decor is very conducive to relaxing in a Caribbean setting. Both the hostess and the property manager are a pleasure to deal with and very responsive to all requests. Jolly Harbour's amenities speak for themselves, but it is Lisa's villa and Jenny's warm welcome that really make our vacation so special for us. Thanks for another great holiday!

Paradise in Jolly Harbour
Excellent stay. Lisa ,the owner, gave excellent help and communication before our stay. Jenny the property manager met us, explained everything to us and was on hand all week. The villa is wonderful, well equipped and beautifully tastefully decorated. Amazing view and 2 minutes walk to north beach. The villa is quite a way from the supermarket and rest.aurants. We had a hire car but beware the road from the airport makes driving interesting!! Around Jolly harbour it is fine. We felt very safe as in a guarded barrier development. Most hire golf buggies but at $25 US dollars a day very expensive. Jolly Beach is beautiful. Everyone we met were friendly and helpful. We cannot wait to return, we highly recommend this villa two very comfortable beds, all linen available including beach towels. Two bikes are fabulous. A really great place to stay if you want self catering, comfort and peace and quiet. Thank you Lisa and Jenny very much

Everything you need
This was a very comfortable and extremely well equipped villa. The kitchen had everything you need and more. We loved having the zero gravity chairs to take to the beach, much more comfortable ( especially those with bad backs) then loungers you rent at the beach. Large outdoor seating areas. Comfortable beds, comfortable sofas and chairs. Nicely decorated. With a week stay it was definitely nice to have a washing machine and drying rack. With a weeks stay it would be nice to have the villa cleaned and bedding change midweek, other than that it was perfect. Lisa the owner and Jenny the property manager throughly and quickly responded to any of our questions.

This is an amazing property. Jenny was an awesome host. She made sure we were taken care of - booking our taxi to/from the airport and helping us with golf cart hire to get around. The place is a great location for nearby beach, food shopping and good selection of restaurants. Lisa the owner was also very friendly and helpful, making sure got everything we need before we arrived. The property has everything you need from kitchen supplies, to bbq, tv and internet. It even has a couple of bicycles in case you feel like getting around on two wheel. i didnt have one negative thing to say about this place, and will look for to coming back with my wife and kids again.
