Blue Skies is a 2 level villa on the north finger of the 500 acre resort of Jolly Harbour. The back patio is on the water, and is a short walk to a smaller private beach. The larger 1 mile long beach with Castaways Beach Bar is on the south finger of the resort, less than a mile away. There are six other restaurants, an 18 hole golf course and a full service marina; as well as, the Epicurean grocery store. The resort is located on the southwest corner of the Caribbean island of Antigua which boasts 365 beaches, one for each day of the year. A car would be needed to get to all the Antigua beaches, and the major car rental firms serve Antigua. If you would prefer staying at Jolly Harbour, golf carts can be rented to move about the resort, and a Hertz rental office can be found at Jolly Harbour. Don't miss the Sunday night steel band, and reggae barbecue at Shirley Heights, or the famous Lord Nelson's dockyard.

Had a great time in this wonderfully furnished villa. I enjoyed the location as it was "away" from the center to provide some "chill-axing" time. Swam on the North Beach in the mornings... at Jolly Beach in the afternoons. You can fill your pockets with shells at the North Beach. Neighbors on each side were wonderful. I stayed a month here and found that Antigens are wonderful and trusting people. You will want to rent transportation... I rented a golf cart for the month and traveled the island via their inexpensive bus system during the day. The golf cart allowed me to move back and forth between the North Finger, and Jolly Beach, and everything in-between easily and frequently. Jolly Beach is a place where you really don't have to leave the area to enjoy a perfect Caribbean vacation with wonderful meals and drinks at ALL restaurants in the marina complex, and West Point, DogWatch, & Castaways,for action. EXCEPT... a wild Shirley Heights on Sunday night... lunch with the smiling Irish lass at Bambula in St. Johns, Trappa's dinner in English Harbour, and Carmichael's across the highway, above Sugar Ridge Don't forget to get to Barbuda... pink sand beaches are a must. Cannot say enough about HBK's Romeo and Sandra accommodating your wishes, and just being helpful. Deep sea fishing on the boat "On the Edge" was wonderful with Mike, Cindy, and Capn. Paul. SO... GO... HAVE FUN... this villa was perfect for what I wanted.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This was a well-maintained villa in a lovely development called Jolly Harbour. The villa itself is comfortable for at least four (and can accomodate 5). It is well set up for breakfast and lunch (and has a great patio overlooking the water) and we even had several dinners. The beds were very comfortable. The roads in Antigua are tricky (poorly maintained) and with left-hand drive, we tended to stick close to the resort at night but found a number of good restaurants either in or near the resort.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

We traveled to Antigua over New Years and has a fabulous time. The villa was very clean and safe. The bed was comfortable and the view was very pretty. We also enjoyed the food, beach, and staff. We would go back agian! John was easy to get a hold of and very personable over the phone. He also has a wonderful neighbor that lives there most of the year. The information and recommendations were very helpful!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing, families with young children, age 55+.
