Each year we travel a week away from the cold and snow to the Caribbean, and this year we picked Antigua. This house was great!
Situated about 40 minutes from the airport, this house is nestled in the side of a hill with sweeping views over English Harbour. This is a nice side of the island for people who want to be away from the city center/cruise ships; English Harbour is where all of the yachts dock, and so it has its own night life and great restaurant offerings within about an 8 minute drive from the house. With a car, exploring beaches and hiking options from the house were also relatively easy to do.
The house itself seems new; extremely clean, well equipped, and they even provide a service that rotates out fresh drinking water jugs several times a week. It did get hot some days without A/C, but the fans at night worked out, and the mosquito netting on all beds/screens on the windows help keep the bugs at bay. A collection of beach towels, bug spray and sunscreen available at the house were welcomed, especially when you have limited packing room. We spent a lot of time outside on the deck to relax and swim the in large pool overlooking the harbour. You will get some noise from the neighboring animals, insects, and some road noise below, but that seems to be the case at any island we've been to. The power did go out twice during our stay due to outages on that side of the island, but nothing we could do about it!
Property manager was very responsive and met us at the property for check in. I would recommend renting a car (4x4 preferred) to explore the island and to get to/from the house. Great property!
