Modern & Stylish 4 Bedroomed Villa, private pool, walking distance to beach.

Our recently refreshed Calabash Villa is a 4 bedroomed, 3 bathroom home sleeping 8 (maximum) comfortably, with private pool. Set in secluded landscaped gardens with Palm Trees, Bougainvillea, Hibiscus and Bird of Paradise Shrubs. It is fully air conditioned with ceiling fans throughout, vaulted ceilings, contemporary styled furnishings and all amenities for a perfect villa holiday. Fast WiFi Internet and Cable TV is provided. The lounge, kitchen and dining area all open out onto the veranda and sun deck making Calabash perfect for al fresco living with a 15ft x 30 ft pool with steps for easy access, gas barbecue, table and chairs, sun loungers with a large umbrella. Relax in the new sofa area whilst reading your book, listening to music or having a sundowner.

Situated on a quiet secluded road, less than 5 minute walk to Jolly Harbour Marina with its Restaurants, Bars, Shops and Supermarket and a 10 minute walk to Jolly Beach (the best beach on the island in my opinion) with a lovely Beach Bar. Calabash Villa is set in a mature garden with palms, bougainvillea and bird of paradise shrubs and all overlooking a natural lake with abundant wildlife. This private and tranquil setting is ideal for groups, families and couples who want to enjoy this spacious villa, whether it’s the Caribbean feel good factor, dining and socialising on the veranda day or night to your favourite music from our bluetooth Bose Sound System.

Calabash Villa is conveniently situated midway between the Jolly Harbour complex and the Sugar Ridge Resort. You have the luxury of your own pool, drinks on tap, outside dining from your BBQ, all to your favourite music and less than 5 minutes walk to Jolly Harbour complex, with supermarket, shops, pharmacy, bars and restaurants. The Marina offers yacht charters, round the island cruises and many other tours and adventures. Sandra’s bar and restaurant is right on Jolly Beach with sunbeds and umbrellas . If you want to do your own thing with a cool box from the villa then that’s fine too.
All the local beaches have pristine white powder sand, pure blue water and beach restaurants. The four other local beaches south of Calabash are, Valley Church Beach, Ffryes Beach, Darkwood Beach and Turners Beach, all within 6 minutes drive.
At Calabash Villa, all of the bedrooms are spacious with ceiling fans, air conditioning, vaulted ceilings giving it a light and airy feeling typical of the Caribbean. The bathrooms are all modern with walk in showers. The kitchen is a large open plan affair, so that even if you are prepping or cooking for the BBQ, you are socially inclusive with all that is going on. Designed with emphasis on outdoor living, has external dining, lounge area and BBQ on the patio, pool decks which give the choice of sun and shade areas. All surrounded by mature Caribbean fauna giving you seclusion to enjoy your outdoor living. Your pool is family friendly (4 feet deep) the main entry steps are wide semi-circular making it easy to get in and out, plus the added advantage to act as social wet seating to chat and relax with sundowners.

The villa has free unlimited high speed 4G broadband and WiFi for your use. The Bose Sound System in the lounge has Bluetooth connectivity so that you can stream your favourite music. It is normally mains powered, but you can unplug, and it will continue streaming on battery power for quite some time on the veranda.

On arrival at the Villa guests are met by Jovanna, who will pass over your keys, explain the key need to knows about the villa, and Jolly Harbour, plus the villa has a complimentary welcome pack of necessities to get your holiday off to a great start. Jovanna and Villa Management are at your disposal, should you have any problems during your stay.

Calabash Villa is unsuitable for wheelchair users but is reasonably friendly to people with moderate mobility with only 8 steps to get from the driveway to the deck, all the rest of the accommodation is single level, with a small step onto the veranda.

It is simple to get around the Island either by car, taxi or bus, which incidentally drive on the right-hand side. The Capital St Johns is home of the cruise liners and international shopping can be found in the totally restored Heritage Quay and Redcliff Quay. 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. All guests are provided with our “Insiders Guide to Antigua” complied by the owners from over 15 years of experience of visiting the island.

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!

Antigua perfect getaway
We had a wonderful time at this house for our girls trip birthday week. It had every amenity we could hope for and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool as well. We found the location to be ideal with Jolly Beach close by and was centrally located to many other beaches and driving distance to other areas of the island. Communication with the host and the property managers was great- very prompt, easy and super helpful. We would love to come back again!

Beautiful Villa
We stayed here with our two boys (10 and 8). The villa is perfect- beautifully done with spacious bedrooms and great outdoor hang out areas. Very comfortable with everything you need! 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!

Jolly Harbor
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.

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.

Great house for a family reunion, close to the beach
This was the best of both worlds! We were close to town/beach/marina but we also had space with a pool, amazing deck and a grill. We rented a golf cart in town so we can cart the baby back and forth from the beach (or it’s a 15 mins easy walk). We really enjoyed the house and the pool and we will definitely be back.

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!

My husband and I were so pleased to call Calabash Villa our home for 3 weeks. This villa is as advertised: modern, well maintained and pristine. It met/exceeded our expectations. 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!

We had a lovely relaxing 2 week family holiday, the photos do not do the villa justice, it was much more nicer than expected. The villa is in a great location on the island close to amenities and places to visit, and we felt safe at all times. Our children loved the pool, and the villa management team were always contactable to help if needed. Sue was also very helpful before we flew out.
