Only a few yards away you walk back into history with the old character filled buildings and streets. In the countryside the many abandoned sugar mills act as a reminder of bygone age. Nelsons dockyard is a fully restored working harbour which has won many awards and only a short distance away is Shirley heights and its colonial fort - here there are stunning views over both the sea and countryside. 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.

From the get-go, our host Alan was wonderfully proactive about sending information that would help us enjoy our stay - whether about the villa itself or recommendations for beaches, restaurants, activities; and also super responsive to any questions. The villa management team could not have been more helpful. And the villa was beautiful, perfect for a special birthday celebration. Lovely pool, deck, kitchen, living area, bedrooms, and bathrooms. All round first rate.

This villa is amazing, with 4 great sized bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (fantastic water pressure), an enormous kitchen and living area, and that beautiful pool. It is very well equipped with all the kitchen utensils we needed, plus a laundry room with cool boxes to use, and a big barbecue that we cooked on a couple of times. We loved watching all the wildlife outside, particularly the hummingbirds.Alan was extremely helpful from my initial enquiry onwards, he also provides his own guide to Antigua and Barbuda which proved very useful, and answered any other questions I had. The management company met us on arrival and the ladies were a great help during our stay when we had any queries.Calabash is in a great position, just a short walk from Jolly Beach, with supermarket and several restaurants within walking distance, and a very short drive to several other west beautiful coast beaches. We hired a car and found driving pretty easy, they drive on the left and no one drives much above 40mph, we visited the south and west coasts with no issues other than the odd car on the other side swerving a pothole or encountering a herd of goats! Highly recommended, thank you Alan!

Alan the host was extremely communicative before and during our stay. Whenever we had a question he was quick to respond. He sent us all the best places to visit in a comprehensive local guide brochure. The villa was spectacular. Clean, large space, great pool with comfy sun lounges and lush gardens. The villa was safe and private and we all slept really well. We loved being able to walk out to the beach around the corner and supermarket to pick up essentials. Following Alan’s recommendation we used Keanu the taxi guy multiple times who was punctual and reliable. Thanks Alan and villa management for a memorable stay. Highly recommended!

My wife and I, along with two of our very best friends, stayed in the Calabash Villa from 5-12 July. The four of us found the space comfortable and well-equipped. The pool was wonderful, and larger than we expected. We would have liked to have had an electric dryer, but we knew the home didn't have one and planned accordingly. We also wished the air conditioning had been set slightly lower, particularly at night, as guests are not allowed to adjust the settings. The location was outstanding. The villa is very close to Jolly Beach, a grocery store, and several excellent restaurants. Jolly Beach was wonderful, but we also enjoyed Darkwood and Deep Bay beaches. For nearby restaurants we highly recommend the Fox House and Al Porto. The landscaping of the property gave a sense of privacy, as lush vegetation and flowers surrounds the perimeter. We only wish that the one neighbor's dog didn't wake us, almost with alarm clock precision, at around 0700 each day. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated that we had plenty of bathroom space. The greeting staff was also very accommodating.I wish there was a scale between 4 and 5 stars. 4 doesn't quite seem adequate, but I can't quite assign perfection. The home is lovely and we enjoyed our stay in Antigua. If you really want to experience Antigua, rent a place like this, get a car, and drive everywhere...from English Harbor to Devil's Bridge. You'll enjoy the adventure, and you'll be thankful that experienced Antigua.

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.

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!

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.
