Ffryes House, 3 Bedroom Villa with Private Pool and Garden

A comfortable, welcoming, family friendly home from home and designed for al fresco living with extensive verandas and a large sun deck. The swing-back French doors can be secured open during the day to take full advantage of the cooling breezes and glorious sunshine. The villa is very well appointed with plenty of drawer and hanging space in each bedroom and a good supply of bath and pool towels and quality bed linen.

Hamilton Estate is a private development near to Jolly Harbour, the premier marina, golf and leisure resort in the Caribbean, situated on the beautiful west coast of Antigua. Jolly Beach is just a 10 minutes walk away; a long sweep of soft white sand and turquoise sea fringed by palm trees, and the entrance to the marina is also just a 10 minutes walk away.
Each of our two villas stands in its own garden and has 3 en-suite bedrooms, expansive internal and external living areas, and a private swimming pool with sundeck.

More than just a property rental: We pride ourselves in making every Jolly Villas holiday a special and personal experience. It's our job to make sure your visit to Antigua is as relaxing, carefree and memorable as you would wish, from helping you arrange flights, meeting and greeting you at the airport, providing you with a welcome pack on arrival, and supporting you with 24/7 local customer service should you experience any concerns during your stay; all in one of the world's most desirable holiday locations. We can arrange your car hire, help you with any excursions you may be tempted by and, of course, get you on to the water in a wide range of activities.

some positives but some negatives
Property manager Hazel and Jolly Villa Rep (Howard) were great. Hazel was kind and Howard responsive and professional. They were easy to reach, answered questions, made suggestions, arranged rental car, transport to/from airport. Villa location is great except the bar directly across the street is extremely loud at night, playing live music & karaoke until 1:30-2:30 am. Otherwise, villa is close to a good supermarket, marina, restaurants and several amazing beaches. A rental vehicle is recommended (especially if traveling with children). Pool is lovely. A nice size and depth. Could use a new pool scoop as the current one has holes and is ineffective. Sadly however we rate the overall cleanliness of the villa as poor. You can tell the house gets a cursory clean between guests, but it requires more. The bedrooms and bathrooms aren't too bad but the kitchen is dirty and has roaches. Spaces between fridge & stove & dishwasher, & the sink area, were very dirty - they require a scrubbing and disinfecting. Roaches were seen on countertops, inside dishwasher, dish rack, drawers and floor, and some in the adjacent dining area. Despite immediately handwashing all dishes, keeping all food in the fridge or freezer, and not leaving crumbs or dirty dishes around, we still killed many roaches with a can of RAID we bought. The entire house needs a deep clean - the kitchen especially needs a deep clean & update/renovation. The state of the kitchen really impacted our enjoyment of the space.

Excellent house - perfect for our family
The villa had everything we needed - family of 4, kids 12 & 15. Really enjoyed the pool, and the local beaches - especially Darkwood. Antigua is beautiful, and has activities to offer. We did Stingray City, Rainforest Zipwires, and a lovely morning kayaking and snorkelling near English Harbour/Galleon Bay. I definitely recommend having a car when staying here - the island is small, but lots of things you wouldn’t see, restaurants you wouldn’t go to, if reliant on taxis or local buses. Only one negative - the restaurants directly across the road from the house play music/karaoke most nights till at least midnight, sometimes 2am. Only a problem from the master bedroom (by the pool) - our kids, in the other two bedrooms were not disturbed by it. Another minor point, the cooking gas ran out one evening, when I was in the middle of making dinner. Hazel sorted it very promptly the next morning, but it might be an idea to have a spare gas canister on site, and tools to change ? We managed to finish cooking on the BBQ, thankfully ! Several good local restaurants. I recommend The FoxHouse - an easy walk from the house, and very friendly. And the supermarket is excellent - even had Heinz baked beans and ketchup (at a price!). Thanks Howard, Hazel and everyone in Antigua who made booking and staying at Ffryes House very easy. Our first holiday abroad, since summer 2019 - great memories.

Late Summer Anniversary Trip
This property was perfect for our group of 4, and we could have easily accommodated another couple. The location was excellent! Walking distance to several restaurants, very close to the well stocked supermarket and no more than a 5 to15 minute drive to several GREAT beaches. HAZEL, HAZEL, HAZEL.!! The property manager Hazel was simply amazing. Every good thing we heard about Hazel was true, and then some. She assisted us with any and every aspect of our visit and was extremely personable, resourceful and knowledgeable. Hazel is a valuable resource and enhanced our stay to the next level. The driver, Big Lava, was great as well, and took care of us from the time we landed at the airport, until he dropped us off at the airport for our return flight home. Antigua is beautiful, the people are beautiful, Big Lava was excellent, and I cannot say enough about Hazel. WE WILL RETURN!

Nicely presented private villa close to local amenities
We did a lot of research before booking our holiday and specifically chose Ffryes House for its location and the fact that Howard had adopted a much more flexible cancellation policy to take account of the current pandemic than many other rentals. Whilst that didn't come into play (fortunately) we had to change our dates on several occasions due to flight cancellations and Howard worked with us every step of the way to help us make our trip possible. Communication was superb! The villa itself was everything we had expected from the photos. The house feels large and airy with plenty of living space and doors to open out on to the patio. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and there was a plentiful supply of pool towels at our disposal. We had a couple of teething problems on arrival which were swiftly and efficiently dealt with by Hazel who manages the property and checks you in/out. Ffryes House is situated about a 10 minute walk from Jolly Beach and Marina which has a well stocked local supermarket and a few bars and restaurants on offer. There are also a couple of restaurants directly across the road from the villa - others have commented on the loud music disturbing them - we did not personally find this an issue as the air conditioning unit drowned most noise out. Whilst you can walk to the local shops and the nearest beaches, we would recommend hiring a car if you want to explore other beaches and sights. Ffryes , Darkwood and Turners beaches are all within a 10 minute drive and well worth a visit. This was everything we had hoped for and we would happily consider booking this villa again on any future trips to Antigua.

A nice vil
Recently stayed here for 2 weeks. The booking process was very easy with good communication with the owners. The villa was very clean and during our stay was cleaned. It is quite private and not really overlooked. The access to the wonderful beaches and Jolly Harbour are all within a five minute drive. The only thing we didn’t like was across the road are some local restaurants and the music starts around 4 o’clock in the afternoon until early hours. The loudness of the music can be annoying at times. But this shouldn’t put you off booking this villa. A car is really essential to see the wonderful island. I would suggest not booking it with any of the airport companies but using one of the local companies as the airport cars can be much more expensive and often run out of the car that you have parked.

Comfortable and well equipped. Close to amenities and restaurants.
Ffryes House is a very comfortable villa with two en suite bedrooms with queen beds and one ensuite with twin beds. The master bedroom is closest to the busy road and the loud music emanating from the new development of little bars and restaurants on the other side. This room has a tiled walk in rain shower with glass wall in the bathroom and has French doors that open onto the patio and pool. It is the nicest bedroom . All bedrooms have A/C and fans. The beds are comfortable and there are adequate towels and bedding. The two bathrooms attached to bedrooms 2 and 3 have showers in the tubs. We purchased some non slip shower mats as our senior citizen selves didn't feel safe without grab bars for possible slipping in the shower. The kitchen is well equipped and quite large with French doors opening onto the outdoor covered dining area. Young palms and other plants form a shady cool privacy barrier around this area. A charcoal barbecue, which we found difficult to bring up to heat, is also in this area. More French doors off the living area open out onto an continuation of the dining patio. Here, four large wicker rocking chairs with cushions face the pool which is deep enough for diving at one end and shallow enough for little kids at the other. These two varying depths have a steep drop separating them. The pool is long enough to swim lengths and is surrounded by six lounger type sun beds on a tile surface. We found the tiles to be quite slippery when wet from the pool or rains. The whole yard is fenced and surrounded by flowering oleander and hibiscus . Overall the villa is well equipped and comfortably furnished for any event. Maid service is available should you wish to pay extra. Fresh paint inside and out had just been completed when we were there in March/April 2017. Nearby Valley Church Beach is lovely but occasionally gets invaded by cruise ship passengers. "The Nest" bar and restaurant here occasionally has vary loud "fetes" that continue until the night with thumping music. Silicone Ear plugs which can be found at the local "Waitrose"" well stocked supermarket, work well! The WiFi in the house is spotty as we found that there were times when it was not available. Also, the Digical "pay as you go" phone in the house is very expensive to run. $10 lasted less than a minute to a local number! Make arrangements for your own phone to get International rates and use only on WiFi. We found this to be the least expensive way to go.
