This large private villa has recently been completely refurbished in 2007 with the largest private pool on the island (by literage), standing on a quarter of an acre plot which has been carefully crafted into a loverly tropical garden. All bedrooms are air conditioned and the master bedroom opens up onto the veranda with a view of the pool. Close to several beaches and award winning restaurants. There is also a new detached 2 bedroom cottage available in the grounds at an extra cost. Both rooms in the cottage have a view of the pool and open onto the veranda. The main house can sleep 8 and the cottage 4-5. The property is set in a quiet residential area. The property is only 8 minutes from the airport, 4 minutes to the nearest beach, 5 minutes to the best golf club on the island and 3-5 minutes from 2 great restaurants. There is an excellent supermarket 10 minutes away and the capital St Johns is only a 15 minute drive. The guest cottage will not be rented out separately to the house.
Antigua is not only famous for its beaches but for other leisure facilities including fishing, sailing, water skiing, scuba diving, snorkelling, windsurfing, kite surfing, golf, horse riding and tennis.
Antigua has good duty free shopping with rum, spirits, cigars and competitive jewellery stores.
The local supermarkets sell Caribbean, American and well known British branded goods.
There are plenty of banks, petrol stations and places to buy food and other goods on the island.
If you would like your children looked after for a day or more we can recommend a local children's day nursery which is very reasonable and well run, or alternatively we can organise a child carer who can help out during the day or do some baby sitting. We have used both avenues and have been happy with both avenues.
