Worth a visit is Betty's Hope which was Antigua’s first sugar estate, some restoration of the ruins has taken place and the Mill is now totally intact.

Relaxing Stay at Calabash Villa
We really enjoyed our stay at Calabash Villa. We were four friends, so appreciated the space of 4 great bedrooms, with comfortable beds. We loved the pool area with sofas and dining area and especially the lovely view with the surrounding garden. We felt well prepared before we arrived with information about the villa, the area and Antigua and we were well looked after by the local teamfor anything we needed help with during our stay. We would definitely come back again. Many thanks!

Great location to beautiful beach
Calabash Villa was ideally located with less than 10 minute walk to beautiful Jolly Beach, restaurants and grocery store. The villa was spacious with large bedrooms and eat-in kitchen. While the living room was a bit small, we hardly spent time in it and opted to sit outside on beautiful patio. Both the owner Alan and property manager Jovanna were gracious hosts and responsive to all questions.

We chose this location as there were 7 adults looking for a walkable location in Antigua. This VRBO checked every box for us. From the initial booking with the owner and mgmt staff, they were very responsive to our questions and easy to deal with before and during our stay! House was exactly as described. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to stay in Antigua and more specifically Jolly Harbour! Thanks again for your hospitality!

Enjoyable time in Antigua
The house was exactly as described and very clean. The management company was communicative and available to answer questions, arrange transportation, etc. We rented golf carts which made getting to the beach very quick and easy, although you can also walk. Easy access to grocery, restaurants, beach. Very nice place!

Paradise!
Our family of 8 recently stayed here. The villa is wonderful, fully equipped and spacious enough for us all. The bedroom configuration worked especially well for us (baby and toddler furthest away from living area). Beautifully clean with great outside space and gorgeous pool. We rented a car, but the walk to the beach and supermarket was an easy stroll also. Jolly beach is perfect for little ones, but other glorious beaches only minutes away by car. Communication was fantastic, all my queries and questions answered promptly, and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back!

Great location!!
With less than a 10 minute walk to the beach and a 3 minute walk to the local grocery store the location of this villa was fantastic. The lush plants and garden are what really separate this villa from the others nearby as you feel totally secluded and honestly with the gigantic pool, enormous deck and all of the seating areas on the deck it made it hard for our family to actually leave the villa!

Choose Calabash for your Antiguan Adventure!
Calabash Villa was the perfect place for our first-ever visit to Antigua! The location is ideal: super close to the supermarket and amazing restaurants, and a quick walk or drive to the best beaches on the Caribbean side of the island. The house was clean and comfortable, and we loved lazy mornings and tranquil evenings on the lanai. The pool is fantastic—perfect for a late-night dip. Alan prepared us so well for what it would be like at the house and on the island that everything was easy and stress-free all week. The beds were comfortable, you can't go wrong with multiple bathrooms, and we loved being able to eat meals at the house (when we weren't out looking for the island's best roti, rum punches, and coconut shrimp, that is!). We rented a car and drove all over, from St. John's to Long Bay, English Harbour, etc., but quickly found that Jolly Harbour and this villa were the best, most beautiful, and most accessible and friendly parts of Antigua. We highly recommend Darkwood Beach for an afternoon of swimming and off-the-beach snorkeling, Big Head Lobster for a delicious dinner, and renting Calabash Villa from Alan. You won't be disppointed!

A perfect house for four friends!
The house looks exactly like its photos, even better if that's possible. Four friends each had their own bedroom and 3 1/2 bathrooms, a large bright kitchen with everything we needed, a lovely outdoor sitting area, and the most perfect pool, which the sun kept at the ideal temperature. We liked the privacy, and though we could sometimes hear neighbors, workers, and dogs, it was muffled by the abundance of foliage and bougainvillea. The proximity to all the restaurants, shops, and beach in Jolly Harbour was a plus, and the host's recommendations for places to eat and swim were appreciated! We loved Fryyes Beach and Darkwood Beach especially (and Jolly Beach) and our week was up before we knew it.

The villa is well appointed and had everything we needed. We loved the close proximity to the market (a 5 min walk) and to Jolly Beach ( a 10 min walk). Alan, the owner, was wonderful to work with. Very responsive. He provided great info re: Calabash and the island prior to arriving. The management team of Joelle, Jovanna and Ben met our every need/request. Avril did a fabulous job of cleaning each week. We highly recommend Calabash Villa for your next getaway to Antigua!

The location is just outside of jolly harbour on a rough road so definitely recommend getting a car- especially if you want to go to some of the other beaches. We spent most days at Darkwood Beach where the snorkeling was great!

FANTASTIC trip to Antigua
We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Calabash Villa! There were seven of us and we had plenty of room! The bedrooms are spacious, and the room with two beds actually has two double beds (rather than two twins). The kitchen was well stocked with plates, glasses, bowls, etc.
I would HIGLY recommend renting a golf cart for your visit. We rented two and were able to easily traverse to the beach, grocery store and plenty of restaurants. We used beach chairs and umbrellas at the Pop Up Beach Bar on Jolly Beach and did several excursions around the island. It was truly magnificent!

The property was great. Accommodated two families with kids ranging from 11 to 16. Location of Jolly Harbor was terrific. Supermarket, shops and the beach was within 5 minutes. We rented a car and a golf cart which was perfect to explore the island and allow the kids to travel to Jolly Harbor. Went to many lovely beaches but Jolly Beach was beautiful and had the convenience of food, water sports, etc. Loved our time at the Villa. Alan was very helpful prior to the trip and the management company was accessible for anything we needed.
