Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2005

We grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada and currently live in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. We are adjusting to being empty-nesters as our 4 daughters are on their own now. We bought this property as we knew a number of people who lived here year round and felt confident in the safety and security of the island and resort.

Antiguans are very friendly and kind-hearted. We eventually plan to spend our winters here and use Jolly Harbour as our base to cruise the Caribbean.

We really enjoy the opportunity to share our little piece of paradise with you.

Why the Owner Chose Jolly Harbour

We love Antigua and the friendly laid back lifestyle. Jolly Harbour is the only resort of its kind in the Caribbean where you can moor your boat right outside your patio. We also enjoy golf and can take advantage of the 18 hole championship course along with the terrific community atmosphere.

Jolly Harbour has everything you need from a fully stocked grocery store to several restaurants and bars along with shops, banking facilities, an internet cafe and rental companies.

The Unique Benefits of this Villa

The North Beach is only 2 tenths of a mile away, a 5 minute walk from our villa. It is very quiet and secluded. If you want more action the South Beach has Castaways Beach Bar along with beach vendors.

Our villa faces east so you can enjoy the morning sun with your coffee overlooking the marina from the patio, then enjoy the shade in the afternoon.

      Just a quick note to let you know that we are back home safely. Thank you SO much for the use of your villa. We had a wonderful vacation. Claudette and Joanne were wonderful. Claudette cooked a huge meal for us on Friday evening and it was just fabulous.

    • Hi Elton & Jayne, Thank you very much for letting us enjoy your villa, it was everything we needed and more! The villa itself was clean and well equipped as your other guests have mentioned. The washing machine was definitely a bonus. We cooked most of our meals in the villa and enjoyed them overlooking the water from the patio. We actually did not rent a golf cart and found all the walking to be very enjoyable. It was around 20 minutes to the Epicurean and 25 to Castaways and South Beach. We went swimming every day at the North beach, which was beautiful and even ventured down the beach around the point to find more secluded beaches. We tried to fit in as many activities as we could while we were there. The catamaran trip around the island was beautiful and well worth the $120. Although the snorkeling spot they chose wasn't the best, we still would recommend the trip. For great snorkeling we went to Cades Reef where we saw an abundance of beautiful fish and even a stingray! Thank you for letting us have the use of your golf clubs. We played a round of golf at the Jolly Harbour course which was beautiful as well. Also, we were able to pay a small fee to use the gym facilities at Jolly Harbour Golf Course. We did rent a car for three days from the Hertz in Jolly Harbour for $35/ day plus a $20 driver’s license. The car allowed us the freedom to explore the island. We went to the Saturday morning food market in St. John to stock up on fresh produce and ventured from Devil's bridge to Nelson's Dockyard, all worth visiting. The two weeks we spent at Jolly Harbour was the most relaxing holiday we have had yet. Thanks again.

      Antigua is a beautiful island with as many activities as you want to take advantage of. The most beneficial is total relaxation! Thank you for your comments.

    • Thank you for making the process, from reservation to check in, run so smoothly. It was a wonderful surprise to arrive to a stocked refrigerator. The villa was very comfortable and the new furniture very nice. Breakfast on the patio is a must. Thanks again!

    • Hi Elton, Really sorry I haven’t emailed you before now, it was easy to soon get into real life again unfortunately! Your villa was great - we really enjoyed it and found it had everything we needed. The kitchen was the best equipped for a holiday let that we have ever had. Stewart cooked a lot of meals in there and made full use of the facilities! We went to Antigua primarily for the cricket. If you have not heard what happened at the Sir Viv Richards stadium, there were only 10 balls bowled before the match was abandoned due to an unfit playing surface. Fortunately for us, the match was rearranged and held at the Antigua Recreation Ground instead. What an atmosphere! We enjoyed 5 excellent days of test cricket which ended in the West Indies holding on for a well earned draw. The experience of the cricket allowed us to mix with some great local people and to try local food which we really enjoyed. Stewart's favourites included red snapper, the local steamed fish, the roti and the macaroni pie. I had lots of variations of chicken and we both sampled the Wadadli beer! Aside from the cricket, we explored St Johns, English Harbour, Betty's Hope, Darkwood beach, Half Moon Bay, Nelson's dockyard and Pigeon Beach so we certainly packed a lot in! The beach at Jolly Harbour was lovely, I enjoyed swimming in the sea and we loved the sunsets. The cars we hired were from a man called Benji who we found through the lady who hired us the bikes from Paradise rentals. She was very helpful and friendly. All in all it was a really good holiday. Thank you for letting us stay there and we will have no hesitation to recommend your villa to family and friends. Kind Regards Anna and Stewart

    • Dear Elton, Our vacation is over and we are sad to be back in the real world again. We had a great time. Everything about your villa was great. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils, pans, etc. and we enjoyed eating most of our meals outside on the porch. The new furniture was very comfortable as were the beds. We were pleased you had a picture of your family on the cover of one of the booklets. What a beautiful group! We certainly relaxed and got a lot of reading in. It is nice and quiet in your area. Thank you for renting your home away from home to us. Fondly, Lois

    • We had a great time. Being self employed, my wife and I do not get away that often. So we really value the time we do get. We rented a car and drove the whole island. We saw all of the sights. The only thing we did not do was take a catamaran tour, but we have to save something for next time.

    • Alton- Sorry this has taken me so long to post on here! My wife and I enjoyed your Jolly Habour Villa very much. Thanks for all of the local info....and the golf cart was a must. There were a couple of small beaches just to the west of us that we watched the sun set from. We also did quite a bit of of hiking to the west and north. Thanks again- Chris

    • Dear Elton and Jayne! Thank you for the opportunity to rent your villa! We loved it and we are coming back! We spent a wonderful time in Antigua and would like to share our thoughts with your next happy guests. We’ve booked our stay almost a year in advance because that was the most reasonably priced villa at Jolly Harbour. The booking process was very smooth handled in a extremely professional way. Tremendous help was the meticulously accurate directions from the airport to the villa Elton e-mailed us along with tons of useful information before the start of our vacation. He even called to check if we would need anything else a week before our travel. We found the villa exactly as the pictures on the website. Even better: the furniture was very elegant and brain new. The fridge was stock with all so needed refreshments, milk and butter.. The villa had everything you might need: plenty of towels, appliances even grill to be used at the nice waterfront patio, tons of information on the island and books for you to read. You do not even need the A/C , the breeze from the patio was enough to cool you off. We loved the location. Jolly Harbour is easy 15 minutes drive to the capital of St.Jones, 35 minutes at the most to the beautiful English Harbour and the gorgeous beaches along the way. It is extremely safe, gated marina. One big plus was the Epicurean Grocery Store at the entrance open 7 days from 8am till 8 pm. The store is very big and has everything you might want to stock your fridge even Deli section with hot cooked meals, alcohol and produce. Something we found out from the book Elton and Jayne had in the villa is that we could use the nice swimming pool at the Marina. It is free for the residents and guests; you only have to sign with your villa number. There are also tennis court, and squash and a huge gym along with a nice sports bar. We’ve rented a car but you could rent a golf cart to get up and down the resort. We’ve checked the price .It is aprox.$39 for 1 or 2 days. The beach at the Jolly Harbour is fantastic! If you walk down towards the little hill (you could also drive) you will have the beach for yourself. If you hike up the hill, or drive up you will see the whole Jolly Harbour Complex from a bird’s point of view! And that view is to die for! Do not miss the sunsets. And skip the part of the beach which is in front of Jolly Beach Resort. They charge you to enter their beach. Enjoy your stay and yes do rent a car.The island is very diverse full of history and the nature is fantastic!

      Homeowner Response:
      Thank you for your comments Silva. As you mention; Jolly Harbour Resort and the islands of Antigua and Barbuda provide a wide range of available activities and options to enjoy. We look forward to having you come back!

    • The villa has everything you could wish for in a home from home, a nice addition to the villa that i never saw advertised was a washing machine never before have i gone away and returned with a full suitcase of clean clothes smelling better than when they arrived, also there is an Ironing Board and 2 steam irons as well as a fully equiped kitchen large fridge/freezer, microwave and oven with a 4 ring stove, the living arrangments were extremely comfortable and the views from either balcony were stunning (please remember to feed odie the Garfish as he will pop his head up when you are on the patio and chase any other fish away for that tiny bit of bread you will throw him.. If you dont explore the Island then shame on you, you can get a boat around the island they will charge on average $120.00 per person or you can take a cab (mini bus air conditioned) for a flat fee of $120.00 and believe me these taxi drivers know their stuff and you will have an excellent day ours started at 9am and finished at 6:30pm they ket you take as much time as you need with no rushthe best Taxi you can find as he was the only guy we called due to his friendly personality and knowledge of the island was a guy named TYRONE his number is 12687841070 you can dial that number from the villa phone, do the island trip you wont regret it, also take the bus in to St Johns it costs 3 carribean dollars each way per person and is so quick & easy cheaper than the cab at 20 US dollars the bus pulls in right out side the resort entrance number 20 bus.. As much as the villa is comfy once again i will say shame on you if you dont get out and enjoy the island the beaches are wonderfull and unlike Barbados not once did i get hassled to buy a coconut, aloe vera a sea shell or Drugs the place is so laid back i ended up Horizontal! Enjoy paradise i know we did!! Thankyou so much Elton and family. you made my 40th birthday the best birthday yet. Chris

    • We had a very nice stay here - everything was clean, nice linens and towels and a great bed. We really appreciated the basic groceries and the cold beer! Nice new furniture and a TV, which was a bonus.
