Delight in breathtaking views over the Caribbean Sea as you sip cold drinks on the patio and unwind by the pool.

This property is exactly what is shown in pictures. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will need and more. The pool and outdoor sitting area are perfect for enjoying a sunny afternoon but also provide many shaded areas as well as a beautiful view of the island sunset. The hosts are very easy to contact and they have a team locally that take care of the house and answer any questions immediately.

We had the best week in Antigua! The house is charming, the location was great, and we truly enjoyed the kitties, especially Jess! The owners are kind & responsive, and Jenny was simply amazing! She helped us with anything we needed & was very quick to respond. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for an unforgettable stay!

Fabulous stay in a fantastic home

We could not find fault with Pelican Rise. It is a warm and welcoming home, in a fantastic location and lovingly looked after by the owners. Everything that you could possibly need is provided, and the local manager is on hand if any help is needed. Highly recommended.
