Family vacation

We were very happy with out stay at Rumrunner Villa. The Villa had everthing we needed and was very well maintened. It was very peacfull and enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the morning and evening enjoying the view. The beach at Jolly Harbour was gorgeous, our girls also enjoyed collecting shells at the smaller beach at NorthFinger. We would recommend getting a car to go around the Island and a good map as alot of roads are not sign posted, but the local people are very friendly and helpfull. There were some breath taking views and beautifull beaches and for the more adventureous the rainforest zip line. We would certainly recommend Rumrunner to our friends and family.

We spent a week at Rumrunner 21-28 March 09 and it wasn't long enough! We were 4 girls sharing so it was plenty big enough, though I wouldn't want to stay in the downstairs room! The villa is in a great location, close enough to everywhere but far enough away to not be noisy! There's something special about showering on the patio too! We tried to find something it didn't have, and apart from the corkscrew that had broken - we just couldn't! Very well equipped and even the music was good! A few of our fave things: Yacht club bar on the marina / bartering with the locals over sunloungers / the Aloe Vera man on Turners beach / Trappas restaurant in English Harbour and the sailing boat we chartered from English Harvour through Joe at Antigua Real Estate - The Ivy. 4 out of 4 of us wanted to stay longer and we will be back to stay - when we can get the parents to look after the kids we left behind!

Excellent property, very comfortable and very well equiped. Owners very helpful and had provided many extras, good well equiped kitchen, good air conditioning. Nice rear patio area overlooking harbour provides a very relaxing area with large gas BBQ if required. Quite a walk to the shops so car (or golf buggy) essential. Would reccommend a car as the charms of Jolly Harbour wear thin very quickly! Very busy restauranuts providing average food at above average prices. Car required to visit excellent beaches nearby for great snorkelling. Half Moon bay beach was our favourite. A must is Shirley Heights on Sunday night v.good steel band, BBQ etc. Quite hard to find good local food as most restaurants cater for mainly American tastes .

We cannot believe that our holiday in Antigua is already over. We had a wonderful time. "Rumrunner" is a lovely, comfortable villa in a stunning location and we felt immediately at home. We would certainly have no hesitation in recommending the villa to our friends and family. JoAnn and your Canadian and English neighbours were very friendly and helpful.

We hired a golf cart for most of our stay. This was invaluable for getting around Jolly Harbour and great fun too! A bus ride into St. John's is a real experience as was the boat trip to Barbuda - both 'white knuckle' rides!

Hiring a car (4 x 4) for a few days proved very successful and allowed us to see most of island's highlights.

We fell in love with Antigua and have returned to the UK with hundreds of photographs, video footage and lots of wonderful memories to keep us going until, hopefully, we can go back.

This was my 2nd year staying at the Rumrunner, although this year myself and a buddy split our time between Antigua and Montserrat. Two totally different places but a great combo. Rumrunner seems to be very well looked after, very clean and nicely updated with new bathrooms and fully equiped kitchen. Spent most days on the amazing white sand beach and the evenings drinking (to much) while playing pool and darts with the locals at the Dog Watch Pub. Best night of our trip was Sunday night up at Shirley Heights, need to taxi to get there but it is well worth the trip. Also a must do while you are down there is the circumnavigation (boooze cruise) around the island, a GREAT day! Renting a golf cart was the best way to get around Jolly Harbour, but make sure you look out for the speed bumps and security gards at night!! Awesome vacation, definatly will be back to Rumrummer!!
