Antigua's Best Oceanfront, 2BD, 2BT Serene Beach Home

Welcome to Olivette – a true Caribbean gem positioned on a bluff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. An approved COVID19 property by the government of Antigua and Barbuda, this home is perfect for anniversary celebrations, surprise birthdays, honeymoons, writing/work retreat, and family vacations! Its lovely tropical garden is surrounded by breathtaking vistas of the ocean and nearby hills. Relax to the sight and sounds of the ocean waves as they make their way to the shore, and on moon lit nights you can enjoy the stunning beauty of the moonlight as it shimmers across the ocean.

Thanks Lisa for your honest review. The road leading to the property belongs to the government. It has been an uphill struggle, asking, pleading with them to do something but to date no avail. We pay government taxes for things like these, so they should at the very least fix the road!! But we are not giving up.! We will continue the good fight to get it fixed so that the next time you come you will have absolutely no concerns. Take care until hopefully we meet again👋🏽 Len and Dine for Judith.

We just returned from a week in paradise! Villa Olivette was even more spectacular than we dreamed. Lenard met us for check-in and was incredibly welcoming and helpful, and was always available anytime we needed anything. The house and property were gorgeous. The views were simply out of this world, with the villa perched at the top of a hill right at the edge of the ocean. We loved walking the rocky beach each morning to hunt for shells and found all kinds of cool marine life in the tidal pools. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Both bedrooms had spectacular views and we woke to the dreamy sound of ocean waves every morning. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils we needed for home-cooked meals. The balconies were a wonderful place to hang out and soak in the ocean views and the starry skies. The rocky beach below the house has excellent snorkeling with a reef surrounding the coastline if you are a more experienced swimmer (lots of rocks and waves and sea urchins). Otherwise there are many spectacular beaches right in the area within a few minutes’ drive of the villa that are wonderful for swimming.The wi-fi was excellent. It was nice to have a washing machine and a grill. We took the advice of other reviewers and rented a Jeep Wrangler, which was so much fun, and so had no problem with any of the roads, which can be quite bumpy in Antigua. We were all so sad for our week to end. We look forward to returning to Villa Olivette one day!

Travel to and from house

Great view of Carlisle Bay and the sea! Very nice house with great porches. However, it would be helpful to explain that the steep and loose rock of government/neighborhood road, to get to the very steep driveway, requires great tires on a 4-wheel drive.

Absolutely Perfect!

The place was beautiful and fully equipped with everything needed for a home from home stay! The location was fabulous with views that were simply stunning. The property manager was friendly, professionally, courteous & extremely helpful - he went over & above to ensure our stay was perfect. The only reason I’ve given 4 stars for location is because of the access road, slightly difficult to navigate, especially in the dark. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

Wonderful Family Getaway!

We enjoyed an idyllic family getaway at Villa Olivette! Highlights of our trip included snorkelling at the nearby Cades Reef, deep sea fishing with the crew on "Pacific Marlin" out of Jolly Bay, the Thursday Reggae Night at Shirley Heights Lookout, Gina's BBQ chicken, exploring shore snorkelling and beautiful beaches on the island, etc. And, of course... the relaxing sounds of the ocean and spectacular Caribbean views from the villa's balcony. Villa Olivette is well situated to access as much or as little as one wants! The house was perfectly set up for our family trip with teenage kids. Check in and check out was very easy, thanks to Lenard. Thanks for sharing your vacation home with us so that our family could make some treasured memories together in lovely Antigua!

Spent a month here. The house is very nice, the location is beautiful. Driveway is terrible, but so our the roads in Antigua. Would have given five stars but lacking in some ammenties. Cloths pins, cloths hangers, and kichen servingware was in short supply. May be ok for a short stay but were there a month. The downstairs bedroom( which was seperate from main house and may have not been used in a while) was also in need of some deep cleaning.

The perfect place

We had two beautiful weeks at Villa Olivette! The villa is perfectly located in a calm neighborhood and really not far from some of the most beautiful beaches we’ve seen in our life. We had a car to travel around the island but we were always happy to comme back at the Villa at the end of the day to relax and enjoy the sunset. The Villa is really spacious and we really enjoyed the balcony facing the ocean every morning and every evening. Lenard was so kind, thoughtful and helpful during our stay. He really is a nice guy and was a big part of the success of our trip, my boyfriend really enjoyed talking weather with him! Overall we recommend this place 100% and hope to be back some day! :)

Second Stay Here. Love it :)

Such an amazing property. Me and my wife loved our stay here 2 years ago, this time we brought our 2 kids (age 8 & 11) and my mother in law with us for a week. There was lots of space for all of us. We love the privacy this property offers along with the breathtaking views. There is a small beach down at the edge of the property, the kids enjoyed collecting shells and beach glass every morning as well as flying their kite. The location is great, there are 2 beautiful beaches (Carlisle Bay Beach and Morris Bay Beach) only minutes away. Carlisle Bay Beach has a new small beach bar/restaurant called South Bay Restaurant , great food at affordable prices. There is also a number of small food stands at Morris Bay Beach. Other beautiful beach (Fryes, Turners, Darkwood, Valley Chuch and Jolly Beach are only 10-15 minutes away. The hosts Lenard and Claudine are awesome, very responsive and went out of their way to help ensure we had a great trip. Hope to be back again :)

Beautiful, remote location

I stayed for one week in July with my husband and another couple. Claudine and Lenard are wonderful hosts, making sure we had everything we need and checking in on us during our stay. The views from the balcony are breathtaking and we really enjoyed sitting out there whenever we were at the house. The upstairs beds are on the firm side. There is a dirt road that leads to the property. Part of the dirt road is steep and our FWD vehicle struggled to make it out unless the tires were in exactly the right spot on the road. Highly suggest renting an AWD/4WD vehicle (we rented an SUV but it ended up not being AWD).

Screwed at Last Minute

The night before we were to get on an airplane at 5:00 in the morning we received an email that our reservation was cancelled. I had tried to communicate with the owner several times to get check in information several days before and got no response. I would not book this property. We contacted a local management company and were able to secure a replacement unit.

A Hidden Gem

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Olivette. The property provides great privacy and the views are spectacular. Gorgeous sunsets also. We loved watching the sailboats and yachts coming in and out of Carlisle Bay. Guadeloupe and St. Kitts are visible on clear days. Lenard, the property manager was amazing to deal with and always very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. The house is spacious, it was just the two of us but 6 would fit comfortably. The location is amazing. We spent mornings collecting beach glass and shells down along the shore. All the best beaches are only a short drive from the property, one of our favourites was Carlisle beach just around the corner. Fig tree drive is lovely as well and is close by. An SUV is recommended as the driveway is a bit steep and bumpy. Overall we loved the place and hope to be back one day.

A Glimpse of Paradise!

Yes, the reviews are great! You can read them and be impressed. Yes, the pictures look amazing and there's lots of them. You can google this and google that in trying to decide if this place is right for you. What you won't have until you arrive here is a real understanding of how beautiful this house, this property and this parish and indeed, this entire island really is. You won't feel the wind keeping the air alive or hear it play off the sound of the water, visible from everywhere. First timers won't have a sense of how friendly the people of Antigua are towards each other and to visitors until you arrive. Experience that for a few days and you feel like you have just been invited into a family with a long and proud history. Is this house or this Island right for you? We were convinced it was for us in much less than a week and are returning next year in what may be the start of a long term relationship with Antigua and all its wonders!

Antiguan Delight

Fabulous location with beautiful, stunning sea vista. Lenard was so helpful and kind, can't thank him enough. Antiguan people are some of the friendliest, warm-hearted people our family has met - they have a unique charm and sensibility that makes us want to return to this sun-kissed land. The house is amazing and we would love to return here one day, we had a relaxing holiday. Food: we had some marvelous meals at Gina's cook shop - an easy 10 minute walk from the house. Her breakfast and juices was outstanding! We also had some of the best (and very reasonably priced) Jerk chicken at The Countryside Jerk & BBQ Centre (about a 15 minute drive from the house on the Jonas Road on the inland route to St. John's). Also special mention to Roti King in St. John's. The folks selling homemade cakes from just a folding table beside Gina's had the BEST rum cake we've ever had! Beaches - what can I say? All stunning. Favourite probably Galleon beach as we were regularly able to snorkel with turtles - amazing, gentle creatures (around more or less unchanged for 250 million years). Very minor point - My wife says it might be an idea to overhaul the number of plates, bowls, sharp knives etc. We like to cook and this might be an area for a tiny bit of love and care - but as I say, minor and di not detract from this incredibly holiday - our sincere thanks to Judith, Claudine and Lenard, See you (hopefully) in the next couple of years!

Breathtaking views and enviable location

My wife, 16 month old son (and for a week in the middle, my wife's uncle and aunt) very much enjoyed our 15 days at Old Road. Arriving in the rain and dark, finding the driveway was our second challenge, after navigating the unlit forest road from the airport in our hired Jeep! To be fair, our family guests had a worse time of it with their taxi driver who flatly refused to come down the driveway which was poor form and easily navigable. Luckily, extremely friendly locals saved us and the property manager saved the taxi driver! We received a very friendly welcome from the property manager who maintained excellent communications throughout our stay. The property is a colonial style and just what we wanted. We weren't looking for a westernized property and the villa had all the charm. Views from all the windows and there was always something happening out to sea with boats mooring and often visiting the two exclusive resorts to either side of our promontory. If you want isolation - you got it. If you want excellent beaches around 10-15 minutes walk away - you got it If you want to be immersed in Old Road culture at their stalls and home bars in 5 or so minutes - you got it. Other than that, a Jeep (and I recommend something capable if just for the more than occasional massive potholes) will get you anywhere on the island in less than an hour. We drove every inch of Antigua whilst we were there. Had a fabulous burger at a joint near English Harbour with Timothy Dalton.

This home was built by our parents as a retirement property and over the years we have entertained many friends and family who came to share the warmth and beauty of this property. For many persons, this home has been a peaceful retreat and a home away from home.

The Josiahs have a long tradition of hosting guests at this oceanside residence long before we joined the Homeaway Vacation Home Rental business. We are a family of travelers, taking vacations all over the world, and have learned what we would like when we travel, so we aim to provide all of our guests with an exceptional home away experience.

Most of our family members reside on the east coast of the US and yearly return to this island oasis for rest and relaxation. We welcome the opportunity to be your host for your stay in Antigua.

Our house maintenance and welcome team maintain up to date connections and knowledge about all that is Antigua, and can provide information on transportation, activities and how to access services in Antigua.
