8/10
My wife and I, along with two of our very best friends, stayed in the Calabash Villa from 5-12 July. The four of us found the space comfortable and well-equipped. The pool was wonderful, and larger than we expected. We would have liked to have had an electric dryer, but we knew the home didn't have one and planned accordingly. We also wished the air conditioning had been set slightly lower, particularly at night, as guests are not allowed to adjust the settings. The location was outstanding. The villa is very close to Jolly Beach, a grocery store, and several excellent restaurants. Jolly Beach was wonderful, but we also enjoyed Darkwood and Deep Bay beaches. For nearby restaurants we highly recommend the Fox House and Al Porto. The landscaping of the property gave a sense of privacy, as lush vegetation and flowers surrounds the perimeter. We only wish that the one neighbor's dog didn't wake us, almost with alarm clock precision, at around 0700 each day. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated that we had plenty of bathroom space. The greeting staff was also very accommodating.I wish there was a scale between 4 and 5 stars. 4 doesn't quite seem adequate, but I can't quite assign perfection. The home is lovely and we enjoyed our stay in Antigua. If you really want to experience Antigua, rent a place like this, get a car, and drive everywhere...from English Harbor to Devil's Bridge. You'll enjoy the adventure, and you'll be thankful that experienced Antigua.
