Luxury hillside family retreat set in 3/4 acre tropical garden stunning views
Hi and welcome to our beautiful Villa Amazing set on a hillside just outside Jolly Harbour on the enchanting island of Antigua.
Our villa is a bright and beautiful Caribbean style villa set in it's own 3/4 acre garden, so you are surrounded by tropical trees, plants, birds and wildlife overlooking the breath taking Caribbean Sea. A perfect place to unwind with a cocktail or two watching the stunning sunsets. The villa is designed so that every room has a stunning sea view, with spacious outdoor covered areas for shade and relaxation. The villa has a main building with large salon, fully equipped kitchen and two master super king bedrooms (6'), one with a bathtub and overhead shower and the other with double sinks and walk in shower. Their is a utility room in the main house comprising of a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron, ironing board and large sink . Adjacent to the main building their are two separate cottages one with a king size bed (5') and the other with two small doubles beds (4') both with en suite facilities plus a small fridge . There are a couple of steps up to the back cottage which would be inaccessible for wheelchair users, but the rest of the house and second cottage are all on one level so wheelchair friendly. Both cottages have their own patio area and patio furniture to enjoy the first cup of tea in the morning watching the harbour coming to life in the mornings and to watch dusk descending in the evenings. Our villa can be rented as a 2, 3 or 4 bed so please enquire about the rate which best suits your requirements. Villa Amazing is on a hillside known as Sugar Ridge which is a small gated community with 24 hours security and adjacent to Sugar Ridge Hotel, which is closed at the present time but owners and guests can have free access to the state of the art gym. Our villa overlooks Jolly Harbour where there is a supermarket, pharmacy, ATM, many shops and multiple restaurants. Car rental is recommended but JH is in walking distance from the villa roughly a 10 mins walk and so is the beautiful Jolly Beach, a two mile stretch of lovely white sand. The infinity pool measures 20' x 12' with a descending depth from the steps from 3' to 6'. There are 3 security cameras installed but not intrusive. One is on the main gate, main door and the other below the house on the pump room.
Please also be aware that the Antiguan Government has now introduced a Guest Levy Tax to bookings made on or after 23rd August 2021, which will apply to each staying guest aged 6 years and over. The tax payable is 5 usd per person per night and is collected at check in. If this tax is not paid before departure from the villa then the total tax will be deducted from your security deposit. The 17% ABST is included in your rental price
Many thanks for taking a look today and please message me if you have any questions. Hopefully we look forward to seeing you soon :)

About the host
Hosted by Rachel Banks
My husband Laurence and I wanted our own home in Antigua, after visiting for the first time in 2005 and, after many years of hard work, we managed to achieve our dream by building this beautiful home, finished in 2013. We feel privileged to own it and feel we would love to share it with others. We have been married for 45 years this year and have been self employed all our working lives. We have two grown up sons and one beautiful grandson born Jan 2015 and a adorable granddaughter born July 21. Our main home is in Kent UK. We like to spend most of the winter in Villa Amazing but always like to be home in the UK for a traditional family Christmas.
Why they chose this property
Antigua is a beautiful island with many attractive homes to rent. The choice is extensive and of high standard, with budgets to suit most pockets. Obviously we feel that ours is extra special. This is mainly due to the fact that it has space around it, being set in a .75 acre garden, there is privacy, space and tranquillity. The villa is called Amazing due to this one word being said numerous times when showing friends and family around the house when under construction. Amazing sums it up quite nicely, simply because of the stunning, impressive views to be seen quite literally from every aspect of the house. Views are 260 degrees of the harbour, the Caribbean Sea and on good clear days the islands of Rodonda, Nevis and St Kitts. During high season you can even watch the cruise ships gracefully glide into and out of St Johns, watch the weekend sailing regattas and even watch the weather coming in through the valley or watch the cloud formations out at sea where, when raining, you can often witness a double rainbow.
What makes this property unique
The views are truly amazing, you will not want to venture far from the house as there is so much to watch through the day. Beautiful attractive villa set in it's own .75 acre garden displaying tropical trees, plants and wildlife. From waking in the morning you can hear the King birds calling each other and also the doves cooing to wake their fellow friends, during the day you can witness the humming birds feeding from the nectar of many tropical flowers, the banaquits who regularly visit the water feeder on the balcony, the little red bums who cheekily will steal your food from your plate if you leave it too long. As dusk descends then the crickets and tree frogs start their chorus which stays with you until dawn. Certain times of the year you will witness the dance of the butterflies which is quite magical. It's as if the island has been sprinkled with fairy dust as these butterflies emerge and dance along on the wind - AMAZING!!
