About Elton and Jayne Ash
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.
Elton and Jayne Ash purchased this villa in 2005
Why Elton and Jayne Ash chose Antigua
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.
What makes this villa unique
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.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Just thought to write you a few lines about our stay at your villa. Please feel free to publish this review anywhere you see fit.
First, we'd like to tell you that the house was amazing. We found it very comfortable, well arranged and in a very secure area. We were very impressed with the balcony/patio setup right on the water. Sunrises were beautiful in the morning. I also would like to add that I found the shower outside the main door very practical and useful. Also, the house was very well furnished with all the amenities required, making it feel like home even more.
In general, we loved the island. The beaches were stunning and it wasn’t hard to navigate around. Although some of the places on the island were closed due to the slow season we got to spend more time at the beach, which we love. We found the locals to be helpful and very friendly. The Jolly Harbour complex seemed to be a prime location on the island and it was very nice staying there, we enjoyed all the bars and restaurants inside the complex.
Personally, both Enisa and I would like to thank you for all your help and advice on what to do. Your care and attention to detail for the people who stay at your home made our trip even more special.
Thanks,

Wonderful!

Excellent location with attention to detail
The most relaxing vacation for years. The owners have covered every
thing from detailed instructions from the airport, to milk and cold beer in the fridge on arrival. This made the experience seamless. The villa is very comfortable with everything you could need. We really enjoyed the community feel of Jolly Harbour which is ideally placed for pristine beaches, restaurants at all price points and a good supermarket. We just can't decide which is our favourite beach - Darkwood or Ffryes.
Loved our stay!
A very nice well kept Villa. Love the location near the North Beach. Comfortable quiet and relaxing.
Wonderful
This is our 2nd time at this villa, the first time we were visiting friends that had rented it for a few months...Booking Elton and Jayne's villa was easy and Elton was quick to respond to any questions I had. We were there for 2 weeks. The directions Elton gave us to drive from the airport to Jolly Harbour were great. Crazy driving on those Antiguan roads! The villa itself is clean and has everything you need. If any problems there is a property manager to contact. There is a washing machine in the villa. I used it and learned that I should have run an empty load through before putting any clothes in as there is iron or something in the water that stained our clothing. I ran another load and most of the stains came out except for a couple of T shirts. Also, bring your own detergent pods, there are none in the villa and expensive to buy at the store. There is air conditioning in both bedrooms and the living room and it works well. We would turn it off when we left in the morning. We would arrive back at the villa around 5:00 and found just opening the patio doors would be all the air we needed. We did leave it on during the night in our bedroom. One thing I would do if going back would be to bring my own sleeping pillow. The bed itself was fine. There is a patio off the master bedroom but no chairs to sit on. For us this didn't matter as we "lived" on the main deck which is on the canal. There's a table and chairs there and 2 loungers. We did really wish there were pillows for the loungers. There is a BBQ which we used most nights and it worked well. There are 2 foldable beach chairs to take to the beach with you as well as beach towels and pool noodles. I wish there was a beach umbrella, this would have made such a difference as you can't always get shade on North Beach if you are not lucky enough to find a vacant palm tree and never on South Beach. You can rent loungers and umbrellas on South Beach. We left JH and went to many of beaches and they are all wonderful. If you want to leave JH you will need a car. We rented one at the airport and it cost 691.00 Canadian dollars for 2 weeks. If you don't want to leave JH you would need a golf cart to get around to the grocery store, restaurants, etc.(15-20 minute) walk. The walk to North Beach is only about 5 minutes from this villa. North Beach is very quite, South Beach is where to go if you enjoy a populated beach and people watching. All in all it was a great villa to rent and we would go back again.
A pleasant and quiet location. A great holiday base.
The information pack provided was superb and especially the driving instructions from the airport to the villa. We hired a rental car at the airport and drove with no problems whatsoever - and that was after an 8 hour flight from the UK.
The villa itself is about a mile from the main commercial centre, with its bars and shops - about a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute drive. Would it be better to be closer? Well maybe but I guess it would be a lot noisier. As it was the only sounds we heard were the pelicans diving into the water for fish, the little birds coming to our breakfast table for crumbs and next door's fishing yacht (once a day, if that).
The villa has a well equipped kitchen, lacking nothing in terms of cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery and pots and pans. The kitchen units were a little "tired", but its a vacation villa not a luxury condo. There is a comfortable lounge/diner with TV, DVD & ipad dock. Wifi speed was acceptable rather than mega quick, but we still managed to watch tv shows over the internet.The terrace/deck is plenty spacious for four people and has table, chairs and loungers and is right over the water! Even better the terrace faces east and so gets the cooling prevailing easterly winds, and shade in the afternoon. Phew!
There are two en suite bedrooms that are spacious and comfortable, and plenty of towels were provided for showers. The master bedroom has a large terrace facing east but no chairs or loungers were available on this terrace. A pity but no big deal.
The aircon and fans were both acceptably quiet and effective - during the day we didn't need the aircon as the easterly breeze and the ceiling fan were quite sufficient downstairs.
For beach days the owner provided fold-up beach chairs and beach towels. It was a pity that there were no beach parasols provided as many of the smaller beaches had no loungers or shade and so weren't suitable for pale Brits who sizzle even with factor 50!!! Having said that I looked around and couldn't see any for sale.
However the fantastic, quiet North Beach is a 5 minute walk away and there is plenty of shade under the trees, marvellous sunsets and thousands of beautiful shells - far better than the more commercial South Beach.
The villa has a "rustic" feel to it. Think plaster applied with a trowel rather than fine skimmed - and this is complemented by the owners' art collection which is best described as vibrant vernacular and very Caribbean. We had a great stay, you will too!
A great time at the Villas
Stayed in July 2016 During Carnival. I had an amazing time. Most of the time wasn't spent in the villa. While there though it was nice, you'll need a car or golf cart to get around though. The villa it self is nice and roomy. The patio was the best feature. There's a grocery store on the premises, quite a few restaurants. Two beaches although I only went to the south beach most of the time which was amazing. Then there's a nice restaurant on the beach. You will not be disappointed with this villa. Just know if you plan on adventuring out, you will need a car. If you just want nice beach fun. This is the place to be. Thanks to Elton and Ash for emails back and forth and continuous updates as time neared.
A perfect week in paradise
My partner and I stayed in this villa for a week in October.
Elton made the booking process very easy and was always at hand to answer any queries we had. The information provided by Elton really helped us to plan the rest of our holiday.
The villa is in a great location, there is a parking space opposite the property if you hire a car and the veranda has a wonderful view to enjoy whilst you sit out for breakfast or for a beer in the evening. The accommodation was perfect, it was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped to enable you to cook if you want a night off eating out.
North beach is in walking distance from the property and we had this beach to ourselves. South beach is more popular, although not crowded, and we drive to this beach from the villa. The supermarket on site is really handy and has everything you may need.
We would highly recommend hiring a car to enable you to get around the complex as well as exploring the island. We felt this was a great place to visit and had something to suit everyone; wonderful beaches but also lots of other great activities across the island.
I would highly recommend Antigua and this villa for the perfect getaway.
