The villa was very clean when we arrived. The information we received before our arrival was very helpful to prepare us for our vacation. The book Elton & Jayne prepared was very helpful. We especially appreciated the information about the artwork and furniture pieces. The view from the deck was awesome. The only issue we experienced was when town did water repairs. Water didn't come back on. I contacted Elton and plumber arrived within half an hour and corrected problem. Awesome response! Wish our plumber responded that quickly:) Our experience at Pelican View in Jolly Harbor was excellent. We highly recommend the villa.

Cozy and Clean
Our stay was comfortable and peaceful in the villa and definitely was a good value. Communicating with Elton and Jayne was easy. We did have an issue regarding the security pass. The directions stated it was left at the security gate. We went to all three security gates and no one had a clue. We were still able to access all the amenities on the premises without it. All in all, it was reassuring to return to a quiet, comfortable villa after full days of enjoying the beaches and visiting all of our family and friends who reside in Antigua.

Perfect Vacation Villa
This villa was a perfect place for us to relax and have all the comforts of home while exploring Antigua. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space to spread out. It was generally quiet at night, which was great for sleeping.

Great Villa - Excellent location.
Great communication with the owners since the day we booked the property. They provide a lot of information about the property and what to do around the island. We were received by the Shari, the property manager, with beers on the fridge, crackers and cheese, chocolates and fresh local fruits on the kitchen counter. She answer all our questions during our stay. The property is located in area that you have to access thru a security gate. A lots of services around including a supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants and more. Also in the same area a beautiful beach. Did I said that the property is well located? Plenty of beaufifull beaches at 15-20 minutes by car and also at 20 min of the main village/city, St. John's. The property is really confortable, two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a terrace on the main bedroom and a patio on the back with a BBQ. We had a really nice time at Barbuda. Thanks Elton, Jayne and Shari. We are looking foward to come back!

Jolly Good!
Everything at Elton and Jayne's place was as advertised. Communication was great. Weather was great. Hiking was great. Antigua was great. Driving a rental car less than great (left side of the road, potholes everywhere). And the speed bumps wore us out (not E and J's fault obviously). The North Beach is close by and wonderfully quiet...a night time dip in the moonlight was special. Just a great time.

The property owner made sure we had all the information needed to have before we arrived, Shari, his property manager was excellent with information and checking in. The villa was well equipped with everything needed. The location was perfect with grocery store pharmacy and restaurants. We had the beach to ourselves most days. We rented a golf cart from Jolly cart rentals, Wayne was superb. The only issue was the mattress was a little hard for us, but we are super picky on this. Overall excellent

Our new favorite place!
We had a delightful stay at Pelican View in Jolly Harbour. We fell in love with the area, and the condo had everything we needed for our trip to Antigua. It’s in such a great location, it was easy to walk to the beach every morning, visit restaurants and load up on supplies at the Epicurean store. We rented a car and had fun exploring the island. We can’t wait to return!

Antigua family vacation - Jolly Harbour
We had a fantastic time staying in Jolly Harbour at Elton's property. Elton was very friendly, accommodating and even took the time to phone us prior to our vacation. The home was clean and had absolutely everything we needed. We were even greeted with a welcome package that had some nice items to helps get us started (including wine :)) Our family was very comfortable. The patio had a beautiful view of the waterway and the other homes nearby. We found that we didn't require air conditioning downstairs as we were able to get a nice breeze with just the patio doors open and fan on. We stayed with our two children ages 10 and 5 and the second bedroom with twin beds was perfect!! Jolly Harbour is an ideal location to stay with many amenities at your finger-tips. We enjoyed South Beach and visited North Beach as well which we found to be much quieter (ideal for privacy seekers). We would most definitely book this property again and highly recommend it to anyone travelling as a couple or family! Thank you Elton!

We had a very enjoyable time.
The villa was clean and well-equipped. There were several good restaurants in Jolly Harbor to walk to and North Beach was a great local beach just a short stroll from the villa. Our favorite beach was Frey’s Beach, about a 10minute drive. The toughest part of the trip was the driving on the left side of the road, but we managed. Elton was kind enough to call us before we departed for Antigua and made sure to answer any questions we had.

Fantastic Vacation
We had a lovely time staying in Elton's Villa at Jolly Harbour. Elton went above and beyond to make sure we had all the information we needed and offered suggestions for local transportation and things to see and do. Driving directions from the airport to the villa were outstanding and very appreciated! Villa was quiet and well equipped and very comfortable. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend! Thank you for making our first vacation to Antigua exceptional!!!

Great place, great location
Elton and Jayne's sweet little place in Jolly Harbour was lovely. It has nearly everything you need for your holiday away from home, from maps and recommendations to coolers for the beach. We've been to Antigua four times over the years, and we feel the location in Jolly Harbour can't be beaten: close to restaurants and groceries, and convenient to many of the best beaches. We rented a car at the airport (expect a well-used model), so we had lots of opportunities to explore. The beds were comfortable, and you truly didn't need the AC except when it rained. The voltage converters were a new thing for us, but we only needed them for a few items. We would definitely recommend to anyone, especially a family with 2 kids like ours, as the layout was perfect. Elton even took the time to call us at home before we arrived to make sure we didn't have any last minute questions. And, did I mention the welcome goodies in the fridge? Nothing like a cold Wadadli after a hectic day spent in 2 countries, 2 airports and 2 different sides of the road...

Lovely Antiguan Townhome
We really enjoyed our stay in Jolly Harbour at the Ash's home. It was very clean and the decor was very beachy with lovely art work all over the house. Enjoyed sunrises on the balcony with our coffee in the morning. It was in a nice peaceful area and you could walk to the the north beach We love walking so this was a perfect location for us. We also rented a golf cart to go to the grocery store and many restaurants in Jolly Harbour. We took the golf cart to the other beach twice. Mary gave us a nice island tour one day. We took the bus into St. John to shop. We had lunch in there at Cuties, which was one of our favorite meals. The house was a very nice place to call "home" while we were in Anitgua.

Excellent location with attention to detail
The most relaxing vacation for years. The owners have covered every thing from detailed instructions from the airport, to milk and cold beer in the fridge on arrival. This made the experience seamless. The villa is very comfortable with everything you could need. We really enjoyed the community feel of Jolly Harbour which is ideally placed for pristine beaches, restaurants at all price points and a good supermarket. We just can't decide which is our favourite beach - Darkwood or Ffryes.

A pleasant and quiet location. A great holiday base.
The information pack provided was superb and especially the driving instructions from the airport to the villa. We hired a rental car at the airport and drove with no problems whatsoever - and that was after an 8 hour flight from the UK. The villa itself is about a mile from the main commercial centre, with its bars and shops - about a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute drive. Would it be better to be closer? Well maybe but I guess it would be a lot noisier. As it was the only sounds we heard were the pelicans diving into the water for fish, the little birds coming to our breakfast table for crumbs and next door's fishing yacht (once a day, if that). The villa has a well equipped kitchen, lacking nothing in terms of cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery and pots and pans. The kitchen units were a little "tired", but its a vacation villa not a luxury condo. There is a comfortable lounge/diner with TV, DVD & ipad dock. Wifi speed was acceptable rather than mega quick, but we still managed to watch tv shows over the internet.The terrace/deck is plenty spacious for four people and has table, chairs and loungers and is right over the water! Even better the terrace faces east and so gets the cooling prevailing easterly winds, and shade in the afternoon. Phew! There are two en suite bedrooms that are spacious and comfortable, and plenty of towels were provided for showers. The master bedroom has a large terrace facing east but no chairs or loungers were available on this terrace. A pity but no big deal. The aircon and fans were both acceptably quiet and effective - during the day we didn't need the aircon as the easterly breeze and the ceiling fan were quite sufficient downstairs. For beach days the owner provided fold-up beach chairs and beach towels. It was a pity that there were no beach parasols provided as many of the smaller beaches had no loungers or shade and so weren't suitable for pale Brits who sizzle even with factor 50!!! Having said that I looked around and couldn't see any for sale. However the fantastic, quiet North Beach is a 5 minute walk away and there is plenty of shade under the trees, marvellous sunsets and thousands of beautiful shells - far better than the more commercial South Beach. The villa has a "rustic" feel to it. Think plaster applied with a trowel rather than fine skimmed - and this is complemented by the owners' art collection which is best described as vibrant vernacular and very Caribbean. We had a great stay, you will too!
