The yacht is spacious and fitted out to an extremely high standard with a comprehensive inventory of equipment for personal safety and comfort. For fun and relaxation there are fins, masks and snorkels and a plethora of water toys; plus the tender for pottering about and shore leave.
There are so many places to explore around the coast of Antigua that each day on board offers new sights and destinations. You can choose to take it easy and relax for the day, leaving our crew to take care of everything, or you can actively participate in sailing the yacht. Snorkel over coral reefs and observe the Caribbean marine life - exotic fish, rays, turtles and dolphins - or laze on deck and enjoy freshly prepared meals with a choice of drinks. To end the day, drop anchor in another secluded bay, and enjoy canapés and cocktails as the sun goes down.
About Howard and Cheryl Adams at Jolly Villas
We absolutely love Antigua. We came on a visit and hardly seem to have been away since. Antigua is the heart and soul of the Caribbean, an exotic tropical island with an abundance of palm-fringed beaches, warm sparkling seas, English-speaking and life-loving locals, a wealth of land and water based activities, a huge choice of delicious international cuisines, and a background soundtrack of calypso and reggae. No wonder we decided to make Antigua our second home.

Well equipped, spacious apartment in best location
This was our 7th visit to Antigua, but the first time at the end of season. The villas we usually book were too expensive, but the cost here was very reasonable. The booking experience was extremely straightforward and our host, Jenny, was very helpful.
Hamilton House Apartment 4 is on the ground floor of a large property with 3 others. The garden is well maintained, with a full-size outdoor pool with a sundeck, canopy and loungers. The accommodation is spacious, fully equipped and relatively clean. There are air conditioning units in each room, fast internet, cable TV, as well as a large cooker, dishwasher and washing machine. These apartments are 10 years old, but most of the fixtures fittings and appliances are near their end of life, with signs of age, wear-and-tear and corrosion. Some parts would benefit from a deep clean, but the overall standard was perfectly acceptable and clean bedding and towels are provided. There is no backup generator, but we only had one short power cut during two weeks. There is also an outdoor veranda and barbecue area exclusive to the apartment.
It is very close to the Jolly Harbour, with a small, well stocked Epicurean supermarket. However we still did our main shopping at the Epicurean near St Johns, as it is much bigger. There are several very lovely beaches nearby, such Valley Church beach, and Coco beach with its excellent snorkelling. There are many more fantastic beaches just slightly further afield, such as Darkwood, Deep Bay and Hawskbill. There are plenty of restaurants, although we did not try any of them because one of my family suffers from serious food allergies.
During our stay, we also hired a 19ft self drive motorboat from Paradise Boats for a day and we had a fantastic time visiting Five islands, Cades reef, Hermitage beach and Rendevous Bay. We were saw a shark, turtle and sting ray during this trip, as well as plenty of beautiful fish! It is best to have some previous motor boat experience though, as it was choppy in some places the day we went, plus the reef is extremely shallow.
At this time of year, the weather was a wetter and cloudier than earlier in the year. However it was still lovely with plenty of warm sunshine on many days. The sea water was particularly warm, the hottest we remember it!
If you are looking for good value, well equipped, spacious self-catering accommodation set in one of the best locations on the island, then Hamilton House Apartments are an ideal choice.
A great location and ideal setup
We booked this appt as a base for a week in the sun watching the cricket. Having looked at many of the properties in the Jolly Harbour we liked the look of Hamilton House. The location is a short walk from the harbour location, but there are a few restaurants and bars across the road and on the way to the main resort. Booking the villa was painless and also included collection and drop off for the airport. We continued to use the transport service (the local taxi driver) for our trips to the cricket and this was made so easy by the owners leaving a local payg mobile so we easy access to the mamangement company and the taxi driver. Overall a great find for us and we'll look to return for the cricket in two years time
Excellent and as described.
Most enjoyable. Probably our best holiday ever. Close to beaches, supermarket and restaurants. Having a car proved to be an excellent decision as if one beach was crowded we drove to another. All in all a wonderful holiday with outstanding customer service.
Excellent location and good value
It was probably the busiest we have found Antigua but that was not a bad thing. The island was buzzing. We noticed a huge change at the local beach - Valley Church. What was once a quiet locals' beach has now become a cruise ship stop-off. It did mean we tried more beaches and therefore a car is essential. All the beaches in the local area were good with excellent beach-bar facilities. You must, however, take a trip to Half Moon Bay on the other side of the island - less busy but idyllic.
The apartment was fine, comfortable and well-equipped. You are aware of your neighbours and it obviously does not give the privacy of a detached villa but the pool was quiet and a good option. The apartment was well managed by Jenny who was excellent. She was there to greet and always available to assist. The whole operation was well managed and slick - transfers were spot on. The apartment itself was fully equipped with two comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is a variety of eateries just two minutes away and the supermarket is a ten-minute walk.
We have stayed in hotels in Antigua in the intervening years but on balance this arrangement worked well. I tried to work out how the two compare in terms of cost. Food was definitely more expensive and Brexit has not helped the UK holiday market but a self-managing apartment was pretty much on a par with a lower end all-inclusive. The car hire - which is essential - gives a more varied itinerary and I think this will be our way to go in the future. You will not be disappointed and there is a good range of accommodation options in the portfolio.
Beautiful aparment
Could not fault this apartment, great position close to supermarket and restaurants and 10 mins walk to 'picture postcard' beach.
The apartment was well equipped with everything a family of four would need for a holiday, the pool and gardens were well maintained and Jenny who looks after the guests really could not do more to make your holiday enjoyable.
Would recommend Antigua as an Island as the locals are fantastic and the beaches sunning.
Hamilton Apartments were perfect for our family!
Our family of four arrived June 25th, 2016 to begin our vacation for 14 days! We got picked up at the airport and driven to Hamilton Estates. It was exactly as the picture displayed it. The apartment was nice and clean when we arrived and half way through our holiday, housecleaning came in and changed all the sheets and towels. The towels were hanging dry on the line. I did laundry as I like things to be clean so I had washed some towels earlier in the week. The apartment had all the comforts of home...wifi, TV, air conditioners in each room, large ceiling fans, nice fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and plenty of pots and pans. My only complaint was that there weren't proper utensils or plastic storage containers. I almost bought a can opener as the one there isn't working.
The pool was nice and clean! We had the entire complex to ourselves for a week and a half. Being that it was July, there weren't as many guests. I am sure it is not always like that. The area was very quiet and felt safe. We didn't rent a car until three days before we left. We are a very active family so walking didn't bother us. We walked to Jolly Beach, Valley Church Beach and even home from Ffryes Beach. We walked to get groceries and my husband would carry large bottles of water while we carried the other groceries. Just a note, they have banned all plastic bags on the island so either bring cloth ones or buy them.
The grocery store was about a 5-10 minute walk door to door. If you don't have a car, it is pretty close. The bus is very convenient to each of the beaches and into town. Once we rented a car and drove to the other side of the island, we realized how fortunate we were to be staying in Hamilton Apartments. We really are on the most beautiful side of the island with beautiful beaches.
I would highly recommend Hamilton Apartment #4. I am sure they are all very nice. The furniture was lovely, especially in the master bedroom. The mattresses were VERY comfortable, as were the pillows. You will NOT be disappointed. If I could ask for a few things, it would be better utensils, more plastic storage boxes to keep dry food, can opener, and maybe replace the bathtub or fix the rusted section. Just all minor issues. Very pleased!!!!
