Fabulous villa in a stunning location

We stayed at the Jolly Harbour villa for a week in April and it was one of our most memorable vacations. The villas had pretty much everything you could ask for: 2.5 bathrooms, A/C, ceiling fans, cable TV, DVD player, tons of DVD's and books, a dishwasher, a BBQ grill and an amazing porch and deck.
The beach is a 3 minute walk from the villa and is fantastic. Castaways restaurant is good for a casual lunch or drink. We also enjoyed Mellini's and Java JoJo cafe. The supermarket is a 10 minute walk or a 1 minute drive and has pretty much everything you need, except good fresh vegetables. Those can be purchases at an outdoor market on Saturdays in St. John.
We went zip-lining at Antigua Rainforest Company - best experience ever! Snorkelling at Long Bay beach on the other side of the island is incredible. And of course, sunsets at Shirley Heights should not be missed! Never have we seen a more breathtaking view. A trip to English Harbour is a must, too for the gorgeous yachts and great restaurants.
We recommend that you rent a car because there is a lot to see and do in Antigua (not to mention the 365 beaches!). We rented a car from Dollar for $179/week.
On your way back, keep in mind that security procedures at V.C. Bird airport are diffrerent from those at home and take a long time. Get there at least 2.5 hours before your flight and you will thank yourself.
Linda was super helpful and responsive to all our questions before the trip and we recommend this property wholeheartedly! We cannot wait to come back!
