Perfect Vacation Villa

This villa was a perfect place for us to relax and have all the comforts of home while exploring Antigua. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space to spread out. It was generally quiet at night, which was great for sleeping.

Our new favorite place!

We had a delightful stay at Pelican View in Jolly Harbour. We fell in love with the area, and the condo had everything we needed for our trip to Antigua. It’s in such a great location, it was easy to walk to the beach every morning, visit restaurants and load up on supplies at the Epicurean store. We rented a car and had fun exploring the island. We can’t wait to return!

Great Location, Great Home

Really enjoyed our stay at your home in Jolly Harbour. Upon our arrival we noted that it was clean and tidy. The home had all the necessities that we required. Wonderful view of the hills and the marina from the master bedroom. The Housekeeper was very pleasant and checked in on us to see if we needed anything. Great place to stay, will definately be staying here again on our next trip to Antigua. Would recommend a rental car or golf cart rental.

Excellent location with attention to detail

The most relaxing vacation for years. The owners have covered every thing from detailed instructions from the airport, to milk and cold beer in the fridge on arrival. This made the experience seamless. The villa is very comfortable with everything you could need. We really enjoyed the community feel of Jolly Harbour which is ideally placed for pristine beaches, restaurants at all price points and a good supermarket. We just can't decide which is our favourite beach - Darkwood or Ffryes.

Very comfortable stay at Jolly Harbour

Our 5 night stay at Jolly Harbour Villa was all we could have asked for a base from which to explore the western side of the island. Everything we could have needed was available, even down to the beach tote cooler bag. I appreciated the note book with local info. The new italian restaurant was very good, Castaways, though on the right beach was a bit overpriced. We enjoyed the deck for breakfast in the morning, and all the Johnny Depp pirate movies with some local rum in the evening. Thank You j&j

Jolly Good!

Everything at Elton and Jayne's place was as advertised. Communication was great. Weather was great. Hiking was great. Antigua was great. Driving a rental car less than great (left side of the road, potholes everywhere). And the speed bumps wore us out (not E and J's fault obviously). The North Beach is close by and wonderfully quiet...a night time dip in the moonlight was special. Just a great time.

Getting away from the British winter

The villa is beautifully located on the waters edge at Jolly Harbour a 5 minute walk from North beach approximately 15mins to the nearest restaurant and 30 minutes to the main shopping centre. The villa is getting on a little bit, but is well maintained, painted and clean. Everything that is supposed to work, works. The description was accurate and we would most certainly consider returning for another visit. A car or electric buggy is desirable. Elton and Jane were very helpful in all our dealings with them.

Cozy and Clean

Our stay was comfortable and peaceful in the villa and definitely was a good value. Communicating with Elton and Jayne was easy. We did have an issue regarding the security pass. The directions stated it was left at the security gate. We went to all three security gates and no one had a clue. We were still able to access all the amenities on the premises without it. All in all, it was reassuring to return to a quiet, comfortable villa after full days of enjoying the beaches and visiting all of our family and friends who reside in Antigua.

The villa was very clean when we arrived. The information we received before our arrival was very helpful to prepare us for our vacation. The book Elton & Jayne prepared was very helpful. We especially appreciated the information about the artwork and furniture pieces. The view from the deck was awesome. The only issue we experienced was when town did water repairs. Water didn't come back on. I contacted Elton and plumber arrived within half an hour and corrected problem. Awesome response! Wish our plumber responded that quickly:) Our experience at Pelican View in Jolly Harbor was excellent. We highly recommend the villa.

Great Villa - Excellent location.

Great communication with the owners since the day we booked the property. They provide a lot of information about the property and what to do around the island. We were received by the Shari, the property manager, with beers on the fridge, crackers and cheese, chocolates and fresh local fruits on the kitchen counter. She answer all our questions during our stay. The property is located in area that you have to access thru a security gate. A lots of services around including a supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants and more. Also in the same area a beautiful beach. Did I said that the property is well located? Plenty of beaufifull beaches at 15-20 minutes by car and also at 20 min of the main village/city, St. John's. The property is really confortable, two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a terrace on the main bedroom and a patio on the back with a BBQ. We had a really nice time at Barbuda. Thanks Elton, Jayne and Shari. We are looking foward to come back!

Everything we needed

The house was everything we were looking for. Traveling with 2 kids (9 and 2 years old) the house was spatious enough so kids had their own bedroom. Both bedrooms had private bathroom plus a toilet downstairs. Very nice view over the mountains. Well furnished kitchen, made it easy to cook our meals all week. BBQ grill on the patio was a must! Trading with mr ash was easy. He was very helpful and all transactions went smoothly. We definitely appreciated the little attentions like the drinks in the fridge on arrival (even milk for the baby)! You have to know that this house is a bit far from south beach, restaurants, bars and grocery store (you gonna need a car or golf cart). But this being said, we liked being close to north beach (very quiet and almost private) and far from noise at night (whistlering frogs kingdom:) the house was clean and full of linens and towels to use. Full cable tv and free wifi. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Jolly harbour and jolly beach is a very nice and safe place. thanks again to let us share your home!

Great Villa and Great location

Our stay during the month of February 2015 was simply put 5 stars!! Upon our arrival at the The Villa it felt like home. The villa is two stories with a foyer, powderoom, kitchen, dining area and living room with a wall mounted TV in it. Off the living room are two oversized sliding glass doors which open on to the well appointed patio that overlooks the water of the harbor. When you go up the stairs there are two large bedrooms each with an ensuite…the showers have great pressure and lots of hot water and the beds are comfortable. The master bedroom has a patio door which opens to a second story balcony also overlooking the harbor. There is also a washing machine on the second floor which works very well. Whiling staying at the Villa we rented a car to use for the month (you can also rent golf carts). You will need one or the other to get to the grocery store etc. However you have an easy 5min walk to the North Beach from the villa. The grocery store has everything you will need including wine, beer and other alcohol. There are also a number of good restaurants rights there…a 5 min drive from the villa. You can also drive to the pool and the south beach…5- 10 min. There they have tennis courts and a squash court. You are only a short ½ hour drive to St John’s where there is lots to do. There are also boating excursions which depart a short distance from the Villa. All in all you couldn’t ask for a better Villa or location…we have already planned our return trip!

A pleasant and quiet location. A great holiday base.

The information pack provided was superb and especially the driving instructions from the airport to the villa. We hired a rental car at the airport and drove with no problems whatsoever - and that was after an 8 hour flight from the UK. The villa itself is about a mile from the main commercial centre, with its bars and shops - about a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute drive. Would it be better to be closer? Well maybe but I guess it would be a lot noisier. As it was the only sounds we heard were the pelicans diving into the water for fish, the little birds coming to our breakfast table for crumbs and next door's fishing yacht (once a day, if that). The villa has a well equipped kitchen, lacking nothing in terms of cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery and pots and pans. The kitchen units were a little "tired", but its a vacation villa not a luxury condo. There is a comfortable lounge/diner with TV, DVD & ipad dock. Wifi speed was acceptable rather than mega quick, but we still managed to watch tv shows over the internet.The terrace/deck is plenty spacious for four people and has table, chairs and loungers and is right over the water! Even better the terrace faces east and so gets the cooling prevailing easterly winds, and shade in the afternoon. Phew! There are two en suite bedrooms that are spacious and comfortable, and plenty of towels were provided for showers. The master bedroom has a large terrace facing east but no chairs or loungers were available on this terrace. A pity but no big deal. The aircon and fans were both acceptably quiet and effective - during the day we didn't need the aircon as the easterly breeze and the ceiling fan were quite sufficient downstairs. For beach days the owner provided fold-up beach chairs and beach towels. It was a pity that there were no beach parasols provided as many of the smaller beaches had no loungers or shade and so weren't suitable for pale Brits who sizzle even with factor 50!!! Having said that I looked around and couldn't see any for sale. However the fantastic, quiet North Beach is a 5 minute walk away and there is plenty of shade under the trees, marvellous sunsets and thousands of beautiful shells - far better than the more commercial South Beach. The villa has a "rustic" feel to it. Think plaster applied with a trowel rather than fine skimmed - and this is complemented by the owners' art collection which is best described as vibrant vernacular and very Caribbean. We had a great stay, you will too!

The property owner made sure we had all the information needed to have before we arrived, Shari, his property manager was excellent with information and checking in. The villa was well equipped with everything needed. The location was perfect with grocery store pharmacy and restaurants. We had the beach to ourselves most days. We rented a golf cart from Jolly cart rentals, Wayne was superb. The only issue was the mattress was a little hard for us, but we are super picky on this. Overall excellent

Antigua family vacation - Jolly Harbour

We had a fantastic time staying in Jolly Harbour at Elton's property. Elton was very friendly, accommodating and even took the time to phone us prior to our vacation. The home was clean and had absolutely everything we needed. We were even greeted with a welcome package that had some nice items to helps get us started (including wine :)) Our family was very comfortable. The patio had a beautiful view of the waterway and the other homes nearby. We found that we didn't require air conditioning downstairs as we were able to get a nice breeze with just the patio doors open and fan on. We stayed with our two children ages 10 and 5 and the second bedroom with twin beds was perfect!! Jolly Harbour is an ideal location to stay with many amenities at your finger-tips. We enjoyed South Beach and visited North Beach as well which we found to be much quieter (ideal for privacy seekers). We would most definitely book this property again and highly recommend it to anyone travelling as a couple or family! Thank you Elton!
