A rocky start but things improved

The pictures on Vrbo do not reflect the current set up. The start of our stay was spoiled by lack of information about how appliances worked and things not being in place. After about a week we had the use of the pool. We were given compensation by the owners. Everything else about the condition of the property has been covered in previous reviews

Beautiful villa!

We loved staying at the Willoughby Villa! Jeanne met us to orient us to the house and was so nice and welcoming. The photos do not do the place justice - the view is wonderful. We watched sunrises and moonrises from the balcony, and there were pelicans flying by the pool everyday. The pool and patio were excellent! We used the grill outside, cooked meals inside and also walked down the street to Slate's Restaurant, which was very good. The villa itself was clean and comfortable. It seemed very quiet, safe, and private. We really enjoyed walking to the beach at the end of the property to beach comb each morning. We'd stay at Willoughby again in a heartbeat. It was perfect for our family of four with enough space to be comfortably spread out, conveniently located on the island - only a short drive to English Harbor and not too far from the Caribbean side of the island either. I already miss it!

GREAT House & Pool

Willoughby House is in need of some TLC maintenance, we had a few issues but otherwise we all LOVED our stay there. The house is large and well equipped. Jean met us at the house and gave us a thorough tour. Wifi worked well as did the AC in the bedrooms. What did it for us was the location (away from it all) and the pool. The house benefits from the breeze coming off the bay and kept us comfortably cool while sitting on the balcony or on the pool deck. The washing machine and clothes line were a big plus too a were the towels, towels and more towels. If you're looking for pristine and sterile this isn't it, it's a bit rough and shows some age but it's clean and alarmed. If we were to return to Antigua, Willoughby house would be a prime choice for where to stay. George, Elizabeth & Brenda Rathbun, Ruth & Nathan Baylor PS the BBQ was great too.

Neglected

Arrived and waited with Taxi for property manager to arrive to open unit, although arrival time was given. Unit issues started with no run down from property manager, no internet information written or binder with any info. about unit nor area, a full, unemptied garbage under sink, which stank and insect larvae all over, broken and unusable main toilet downstairs, no second roll of toilet paper or paper towel, no garbage bags, a garbage bin in the open garage which was ravaged by local dogs each night until we located a storage unit across the road, no soap in the lower bathrooms, no propane for BBQ. Great view though

This property is beautiful. Especially the pool area. The pool was gorgeous and the perfect temp. We used it every day. The trade winds blew through the house and kept it a cool temp while each bedroom had its own AC. The balcony had a beautiful view of the bay. There were plenty of towels and linens on site. We were provided plenty of beach towels as well. We were able to cook meals between the kitchen and the grill out back. The only drawbacks were the steep slope of the driveway. If you park in it, we found it best to let the driver pull in or pull out and we waited on the street next to the drive. There was no swimming from the beach area as well. You could walk further down the beach and around the point to a nicer beach but it was fine for us. The only other negative was we needed a knife sharpener. They were pretty dull. Otherwise, there was plenty of pots and pans and dishes. The host provided essentials for the morning for breakfast and a bottle of wine. Wifi was fine and we had no problems even with 5 of us using it. The property manager was very quick to respond anytime we had a question. All in all I would rent this home again. It was very well maintained, clean and the pool sold itself.

Perfect Location on the Bay!

We just returned from a week's vacation at Willoughby Bay and loved every minute of it! The very private, tranquil location of the house away from the hustle and bustle of English Harbor allowed for quiet relaxation on the beautiful balcony overlooking the Bay. No noise except for the sound of wind and waves (and the occasional rain shower - that turned to quite the storm at night). But the house is solid and safe. While the decor of the house may not be able to compete with the sleek, modern interior of neighboring villas, the location cannot be better. After spending the day swimming or exploring the island, we were always glad to return home, kick off our sandals and relax in the cool breeze on the balcony. The house itself is clean and the beds comfortable which is all that mattered to us. We cannot wait to return to this piece of paradise.

Wonderful home, quiet location.... 10 minutes from everything

Jean and Ralston were amazing! The home is a little dated, but it’s perfect! It fits the culture. You absolutely can not beat the views! Like I said, it’s in a quiet ‘working class’ neighborhood, on the south side of the island. Not in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. If you’re looking for a great, safe place to chill out and relax, this is your place! We took our two boys with us ( 9 & 11) and they had a blast in the pool! I loved visiting with Ms. Jean and Mr. Ralston, there story will inspire you! They just made you feel at home. Every person / company the recommended was top of the line! Don’t look anywhere else, this is the place you want to be for your relaxing Antiguian vacation!

A little bit of paradise!

The villa was everything we hoped for, very peaceful, private and tranquil. The villa was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. The interior of the villa could do with a little updating perhaps, but the view from the balcony was so breathtakingly beautiful. The garden and the pool was gorgeous with plenty of places to sit in the sun but also plenty of shade as well! Jean and Rolston were friendly and approachable, it was so nice to chat with them and learn a little about their lives living in Antigua. The car hire firm that Jean recommended gave great service. Really appreciated the escorted service from the airport when we arrived, as the roads are very dark and the potholes awesome! Hope to return next year.

setting and accomodations noice

nice ideal quiet location. Especially since we used it as a family reunion. All what we would need for week vacation was there. Hosts/owner were very nice. I liked the that owner/host asked early on what we would need for provisions for that first day, and they were provided (milk, butter, bread, etc). After a long day of traveling it was to know that there was something there to get started. A great touch that I never encountered before in VRBO. I would recommend more plastic glasses, dishes for pool area use. Only issue was communication with owner prior to and during visit. There were delays we used texted and owners often used email through VRBO and we don't have a VRBO account to send responses through. Hope to vacation again here in a few years

We've booked a return visit

Two weeks in January 2018 were not enough, so we'll be back for three weeks next year! This was our fourth self-catering visit to Antigua, and Willoughby was the best of the four houses we have stayed in. It is well equipped, and everything works, including the hot water and broadband, both of which have been flaky elsewhere. The pool is crystal clear, but does not use chlorine, which is a bonus. Jean and Rolston met us at the villa, and ensured that the fridge was stocked with "welcome pack" items we had requested in advance. They were available on the phone throughout our stay, and sorted out a couple of minor niggles quickly and efficiently. The location of Willoughby is superb - 10 minutes from English Harbour and 20 minutes from Half Moon Bay. Recommended restaurants are Jacksons (formerly the Hideout), just two minutes from the villa, and Cloggys and Trappas in English Harbour. Looking forward to our return to Willoughby next year!

Great for families

Spacious accommodation with all conveniences for a comfortable vacation. I deal for families. Jean and Rolston are great and nothing is too much trouble. the bay is great to look at but the beach is all stones and the sargasso weed was in when we were there (Late June) so not good for swimming, but you have the pool and there are 365 other great beaches in Antigua to choose from. Lovely quiet area, with nothing around so you will need a car to get about. English harbour is only 5 minutes away and the st James club even closer.

Fabulous Family Vacation

We had an altogether great holiday on Antigua. Although our inbound flight was delayed we we're greeted, as arranged, at the airport by a friendly representative of the car hire company that Willoughby's owners had recommended to us. He then drove us to the Willoughby property. His service was most helpful and uncomplicated. Do ask the Michaels for his service. Willoughby is situated directly on the waterfront of a peaceful bay. The views are unspoilt and second to none. The garden has been lovingly kept and offers practical spaces for bbqing, hanging out the laundry, and relaxing in the sun or shade. The pool was lovely! Salt water, no chemicals! There are sun loungers too. There is a constant refreshing breeze which helps keep mosquitoes at bay. Although the temperatures are high we had no need of the AC which is installed in every bedroom. Willoughby is fully furbished and the kitchen is very well stocked. We had everything we needed for our family vacation. There were even some great toys for our toddler and a baby's cot. We felt immediately comfortable and at home. Many thanks Michael family for this wonderful home from home. We would certainly book again. Yours, S, L, F

A lovely relaxing stay overlooking the ocean!

We are just back from a relaxing stay at Willoughby in the Antiguan sunshine. The house is in a perfect location overlooking the ocean, and is a short drive to some lovely restaurants and beaches. Our favourite beach was half moon beach and our favourite restaurant Cloggy's in Falmouth harbour. My son, Josh, loved swimming in the pool, and his mum & dad loved having sundowners on the deck! Thank you to Rolston & Jean for arranging everything so well and letting us enjoy their lovely house. Rachel, Neil & Josh Targett

Stunning view, quiet location, fantastic home away from home!

Hosts are welcoming, very friendly and helpful! Location offers a quiet and beautiful spot to base your family or group away from the cruise and tourist crowds and vendors on the other end of the island - a short drive to English Harbour, or Half Moon Bay / Antigua Paddles and Stingray City in the other direction. The pool is a great spot to cool down after a day out exploring. The balcony is breezy, with comfortable seating and a spectacular view! Everything in the house worked well. We enjoyed cool breezes and air conditioned rooms for sleeping. This would be an excellent home base for an extended family group or a group of adults. Very spacious. Gas stove is helpful when the odd power outage occurs. We are grateful the hosts helped us find our car rental. We rented our vehicle from Egen at J & R rentals. We had a great experience with Egen, who met us at the airport and guided us to the house. Otherwise, I anticipate we would have been lost. Navigating roads requires a willingness to stop, ask locals, and laugh when you take the wrong route. Following Egen from the airport also helped our first drive through traffic circles driving on the left side of the road - yikes! Road crews repaired some of the worst pot holes the last day there, though I'm sure there will be plenty to keep you on your toes in a short while. I wish I had brought some games or cards for the evening wind down time. WiFi worked reliably, which was helpful. Phone lines in the area haven't been working well, so we used Skype to place calls when needed. We highly recommend this beautiful vacation rental. We hope to return. Thank you, Jean and Rolston, for a great stay!

Lovely house and great location

This is a lovely house in a beautiful location with the beach literally at the end of the garden. It's probably not a beach you would want to swim from, being on the less sheltered side and with so many wonderful beaches to choose from in Antigua, but the view from the house and garden is stunning and there is a decent, well maintained, pool. There was a good refreshing breeze during our stay which kept the house cool and airy, but there is air con throughout the property if needed. We were a party of six needing four rooms, and the house accommodated us just fine. There were a few minor niggles and things that needed updating, but the owners were on the case immediately and very responsive to feedback. The location is excellent, close to English and Falmouth Harbours and within good reach of shops and restaurants, although a car is essential. The owners can recommend an excellent car hire firm. Thoroughly recommended.
