  We loved everything about our stay at Seaglass. It starts from the moment you open the front door, turn the corner, open the verandah glass sliders & truly take in the incredible view. You blink a couple of times then pinch yourself to make sure it's real. We've seen many views in our travels around the world & I tell everyone that this view is in my top three. But then you turn around & take in the view of the house itself. I wouldn't change a thing! The owner, Stephanie, & her family built this house with much attention to detail (and love). It shows everywhere, even down to framed instructions on the workings of the house. I guess the best way to describe our experience is to say we just felt "good" in the house. The stay here was made even more perfect by Nadia & Ida at Lush Locations who act as the welcoming committee in place of Stephanie herself. From the welcome basket of fruits, wine, cheeses TO the walk-thru TO the quality of the maid service throughout the week, we did not want for anything. And it was a huge bonus to us & the three other active couples to have complimentary access to the Sugar Ridge Resort pools & gym. ($-fitness classes). You can walk to it via Carmichael's restaurant. The restaurants at Sugar Ridge are very good, by the way. Access to everything else on the island is easy by car rental. You can walk to the beach, grocery shop, eat out, shop, go boating, fish, play golf all right below Seaglass in Jolly Harbour. So, stay here. It will be a true home away from home.

  Our family recently travelled to Antigua from December 20 - 27, 2012. This was the first time that we had gone away at Christmas time. The timing seemed right as our three teenage boys, ages 17, 16 and 14, are well passed the “magic of Christmas stage” and were up for a Caribbean destination. We have been lucky enough to visit a number of Caribbean destinations including: Bahamas, Barbados, St. Lucia, Turks and Caicos Islands, Curacao, etc. This was our first trip to Antigua. Our flights out of Toronto via Air Canada left early on December 20th and arrived in Antigua early afternoon. We stayed at Villa Seaglass which is an absolutely gorgeous high-end Villa perched high on a hill in the Sugar Ridge development overlooking Jolly Harbour. We highly recommend Villa Seaglass. The Villa is everything that is shown on the website and more. The owner, Stephanie, was tremendous; the Property Manager, Ida Crump from Villa Management Ltd. was wonderful; and the cleaning staff were equally amazing. The pictures on the website do not do Villa Seaglass justice. The view is absolutely mind-blowing. Villa Seaglass is located high above Jolly Harbour and Jolly Harbour can be easily accessed down the hill and right across the road. Villa Seaglass is located in the Sugar Ridge Development, which is a secure gated development on the main road down Antigua’s west coast. The area is very pretty and very safe. Staying at Villa Seaglass entitles you to use all of the amenities and facilities at the neighbouring Sugar Ridge Hotel. The hotel has a nice gymnasium/fitness centre, nice pool and two really good restaurants, Sugar Club and Carmichaels. For many people, it can be nerve-wracking to choose a vacation rental online, particularly given all the options, the concern that the rental will not be “as advertised” and dealing with a stranger who is far away. We have been extremely fortunate in arranging vacation rentals online in a number of places around the world and have always been more than satisfied. None of the normal concerns and trepidation will apply in dealing with Stephanie and in renting Villa Seaglass. In arranging any vacation rental, you have to do your homework, fully check-out and investigate the rental, have a dialogue with the owner, ask questions, satisfy yourself that the vacation rental will suit your needs, etc. We have always done this and it has worked out tremendously well for us. Again, renting Villa Seaglass will not

  First of all I want to say that in all the places I've rented and people I've worked with around the world the owner of Villa Seaglass is the best! She's quick to respond, easy to work with and flexible to your needs. It was a pleasure working with her and her family! The pictures of this house are amazing but they don't do it justice. We arrived late in the evening and had to wait until the next morning to take in those stunning views, and it was worth the wait. This house is perched on top of a steep hill that gives you these incredible 360 views. The inside of the house is as spectacular as the outside. We had 4 adults and an infant and used 3 of the bedrooms, all of which were beautifully appointed. The beds are comfortable, the house is open and the kitchen is stocked with high end appliances along with every dish, cup and utensils you could ask for. The house is situated about 20-30 minutes from the airport and only 15 minutes from St. John's. There are a number of restaurants, bars and a grocery store in the Jolly Harbour complex across the street from the neighborhood. I would advise renting a car, carrying those groceries up that steep hill would be a challenge. If you want to go out and not drive, the property manager will gladly set up a taxi for you. I'm telling you, everything you you need while staying here is one phone call away. You know you're staying in the right place when the living room you're sitting in is on the cover of 'Luxury Homes' magazine. If you enjoy living the good life then you will l-o-v-e Villa Seaglass!

  Writing a review for such a fabulous and special place like Villa Seaglass, requires some adjectives that elude me as they could not possibly do this place justice even if I could come up with them.. From the moment you drive up to this home, you suddenly realize that you very far away from anything that resembles the usual and mundane.This home that sits atop a beuatiful hill overlooking Jolly Harbour and offers the most expansive view through massive glass doors which recede all the way into the walls, forces you to sit back immediately, mix a drink and let a view that you never thought could exist in a rental property, welcome you to paradise. In the years that my family has discovered rental properties through the internet, we've always been satisfied but still felt that the pictures are usually slightly overdone with the reality of those places. In this case, no picture of this home or it's many features could prepare anyone for what they will be in store for. The home has every ammenity one could ask for, infinity splash pool overlooking the spectacular views, gourmet kitchen fully stocked like a private home with appliances, bedrooms that the average person would be lucky to have in their own homes, 4 1/2 bathrooms for total convenience. There's even a cupola next to the pool with a dining table to enjoy your meals and drinks under the Antiguan stars. Not to mention a state of the art generator to insure the continuity of your vacation. Don't miss this one, our family will have years and years of special memories of our time spent here. We are lovers of the Caribbean and Villa Seaglass on Antigua just moved way up on our list during the past 10 days!! Some of our favorite cool things: Circumnavigation cruise of the Island and snorkel spot on the "Excellence" 82 Catamaran Driving around the Island and stopping at Devil's Bridge and Falmouth Harbor Visiting St John's Zip Lines in the Rain Forest Jet Skiing at Fryes Beach Bloody Mary's at Sheer Rocks Picking up everything we could possiby need right across the street in Jolly Harbour

  I can't say enough good things about this absolutely beautiful villa at Jolly Harbour. The home is extremely clean, well-maintained, and it sits high up on a hill overlooking Jolly Harbour. The pictures of the villa are perfectly accurate and do not do it justice. There are large sliding glass doors on either side of the living area to allow a relaxing cross breeze, and the bedrooms are well air-conditioned. Enough cannot be said about the view, however! Jolly Harbour has beautifully-colored hues of blue water, and the home is high enough on the hill to allow a great panoramic view of the area. We stayed a week at the villa and never had any problems with the home, plus the nearby property manager was extremely helpful with questions about the villa and activities around Antigua. The attention to detail at the villa was surprising, with amenities being provided that we did not expect, including umbrellas, a beach tote and chairs, a picnic basket, flashlights, etc. It is a very quiet area, also, and the entrance to the area is guarded. It is important to note that the villa is very close to many restaurants in the area and also to a large supermarket, plus a short distance to many of the best beaches on the island. Location, location, location!! Combined with the beauty of the villa itself and its view, you cannot go wrong. It was also featured on the current cover of "Luxury Locations: The Magazine" while we were there! Imagine seeing the living room you are standing in on the cover of a magazine while you are in the home!

  Incredible villa with a view that will take your breath away. From the moment we pulled up to this spectacular home we felt as if we had been transported to paradise. All the comforts of a home with a five star feel. The infinity pool seems to float on the edge of a panoramic view of the Jolly Harbor Area and beyond. Close proximity to numerous outstanding restaurants and a grocery store stocked with everything you might need should you want to enjoy the gourmet kitchen. Inside the home is impeccably kept with a decor reminiscent of an elegant yet relaxed tropical villa. Owner and manager were both available for any questions regarding the Island and property suggesting numerous places to visit and enjoy on the Island. We were so taken by this beautiful home that we altered our working schedules to extend the stay by 2 addition days. We will definitely return and would rate this property a 5 out of 5 in all areas. Only negative is that you will not want to leave! Thank you for a vacation we will always cherish.

  If you are looking for the WOW factor location then look no further. Stunning views and a villa that is furnished and equipped to the highest standard. Immaculate presentation and cleanliness throughout. The only problem is that it is impossible to capture the full Villa Seaglass magic in photographs! Would recommend in a heartbeat and hope to visit again some day. Nearby facilities of Jolly Harbor with bars, restaurants, shopping and beach all within walking distance or hire a golf cart for extra fun getting around. Castaways (owners recommendation) a real gem on the beach. For great lobster, try 'Miracles' just near the entrance to the villa road - fairly new family run and great choice of lobster dishes amongst other menu items. Beach itself is clear, blue water with fine white sand - great for a cooling dip, water sports or just relaxing, although its not easy to drag yourself away from the views over the entire bay and the pool at the villa. Owners extremely helpful and a pleasure to deal with. We felt very welcome from the moment we arrived and highly recommend this beautiful property.
