good but could be excellent
First, the pros. Alastair was quick to respond to all queries and was also able to supply lots of information about the island. The villa is very spacious, 3 large on suite bedrooms, excellent outdoor space and grounds, perfect for a family or group of friends. Close to some of the best beaches on the island and of course the supermarket at Jolly harbour Now the cons. Villa is beginning to look tired and needs a bit of a revamp, the white goods need replacing, fridge /freezer has shelves missing and both the dishwasher and BBQ have seen better days. Also the drawers in all the bedroom dressers collapse when pulled open, they just fall of the runners However, the worst thing about the villa and which is beyond the control of the owner is the noise from the beach bars opposite, if you wish to be awake till 2am each night listing to loud thumping music and very bad karaoke then fine if not then I would highly recommend looking elsewhere.

Lovely villa
The villa is really well maintained, clean and high spec. Located just outside holly harbour next to the sugar ridge hotel with some bars and restaurants on the other side of the road. No sea view but a pretty mature garden and lovely pool. We went in August so it was pretty quiet!

Fantastic Villa
We were really impressed by the size of the villa and the obvious thought and effort which had gone into kitting it out. Our daughter loved the pool, and it was a great size for us all to enjoy. The owners passed on the contact details of Yasmine as a local contact over in Antigua, and we found her to be most helpful and friendly. Transfers were organised without any problem at all and it was reassuring to know that she was just a phone call away, should we encounter any problems. I also have to say that, although we weren't intending to use it, the washing machine was first class, and made holidaying with a 2 year old very worry free! We would definitely use the villa again.

Ffryes Villa, Antigua
Where to start!?! our trip to antigua was an incredible experience never to be forgotten and so much of that was down to where we stayed, Ffryes Villa. the villa itself is beautiful with 3 large double rooms all en-suite, a huge open plan kitchen/dining/living room, a great pool area, barbecue and outdoor dining area as well as an outdoor lounge area - all of which are beautifully finished. the plethora of fans and air conditioning units in all the rooms meant that we were always comfortable whatever the temperatures outside. Moreover, the villa is a 2 minute walk from one of the most beautiful beaches the Island has to offer, Ffryes Beach (by The Nest) which is always lined with turquoise ocean and sparsely inhabited if not almost always deserted. Importantly, the villa rental came complete with a 4x4 vehicle which allowed us to explore many more of the 365 beaches the island has to offer and go off on mini adventures whenever we pleased. The estate the villa sits on is incredibly quiet and secluded meaning we had all the privacy we could wish for. All in all the holiday was one we will never forget and was made so incredible by the choice of villa. its incredible presentation and superb location set us up for the trip of a lifetime. We highly recommend it and plan on renting it again as soon as we can

Large home, central location
The home was large and comfortable, and we enjoyed several afternoons by the pool watching the hummingbirds — lovely place to sit out. Alastair and Hazel were very helpful and accommodating, we appreciated that very much. The house is in a great central location — close to beaches, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Along with this proximity to some neighboring nightspots, we did have some issues with noise late at night on the weekends.
