Dominic & Tracy purchased this villa in 2015
This Villa is positioned in one of the best locations of the Jolly Harbour complex, firstly South Finger is far better than the North Finger for location, all amenities and supermarket, secondly the villa is a very short walk to the beach which can only be described as truly amazing!! The property is furnished more as our 2nd home and not a holiday rental.
250 D is one of the only properties that has been renovated with the environment in mind, one thing that property owners in Jolly Harbour forget to mention is that the Government supplied water to all Villa's is 'Not recommended' to drink, so guests have a daily commute to the supermarket to purchase bottled water.
When refurbishing we invested in a 5 filter water filtration system that allows Guests to drink the filtered water from the fridge dispenser, this also produces Ice, Cubed or Crushed and helps save on plastic Bottles!
The property also has other energy and water saving system's in place to make the modern traveler feel home from Home. An Eco Energy water heater, Eco shower heads and Eco Sense A/C units to help with the properties low Carbon footprint. The property has USA, UK power plugs and USB built in chargers so no need for travel plugs or adapters.
We loved our stay, the location is perfect, an the spacious home has everything you could need. We really appreciated the air conditioning when we slept, the well stocked kitchen, and the grocery store and restaurants were amazingly convenient to get to. We rented a golf cart to get around the property but didn't really need to, it just was a highlight for our 18 year old son. The beaches are the most beautiful we have seen. Dominic and Tracy were wonderful, they always got back to us right away and were lovely and helpful.
Michelle arranged for airport pick up and drop off and if we had any questions she was in contact. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation, if we are lucky enough to visit Antigua again we would definitely stay here. Our son gave this place a 10!
If you are considering renting in Jolly Harbour then you should not look any further than 250D, on the South Finger. There are a lot of older units that may rent for a bit cheaper in Jolly Harbour, but Dominic and Tracy's wonderful condo is worth every penny. Everything is updated including all the appliances, all kitchen utensils, pots and pans and everything you need to make your stay great is at your fingertips. Every light switch is labeled, every fixture is new and everything has been thought of. The beach is a five minute walk away and stunning. Dominic has bikes in the garage, but we never used them. I would rent a golf buggie on my next visit as the supermarket and most of the restaurants are a bit far from the condo. There are some restaurants outside of Jolly Harbor that will send a free shuttle right to your door like Carmichaels which was excellent. For chaise lounges on the beach there are several vendors that will try and convince you to purchase chairs from them. Go straight through Castaways restaurant and ask for Mervin. Staying in Dominic's apartment entitles you to free chaise loungers and Mervin will hook you up. He is a great guy. You do have to pay for umbrellas however which you will need as there is very little shade on the beach. Dealing with Dominic was a pleasure, he was very quick to respond to questions and very quick to refund our security deposit. He also arranged for clean transfers from the airport which was great. I would not hesitate to rent Dominic and Tracys condo again and highly recommend it.
Excellent location near great beach.
Modern & in tip top shape
Very well equipped
The villa was clean and updated. Everything we wanted in a villa. Bright and modern and a very lovely place to stay and so close to everything we needed.
We've had a great time at 250D JH, fabulous villa with two en suite big bedrooms and everything you need for a great self catering holiday. Direct access to harbour with its own jetty whereyou can do a spot of fishing, very well equipped! Amazing location 2 minutes walk from the beautiful Jolly Beach and Casterways beach bar. Great communication with the owners Dominic and Tracy. Thank you very much to both of you.
This villa is more wonderful than the pictures, a real home from home and extremely comfortable. From the moment we landed and were greeted by Mary's Taxi's, recommended by Dominc and Tracy the villa owner's, I knew that we had made a good choice. On arrival at Jolly Harbour and the villa, Veronica met us with the keys and showed us around the villa. It is immaculate, with everything that you could possibly need. We quickly changed into shorts an T shirts, had a walk to the supermarket and within 1/2 an hour were back on the deck enjoying a cold wine/beer, the heat and the view. All of the information that you need about the villa and surrounding area is provided by Dominc and Tracy. My husband was diving every other day and it was 2 mins walk for me straight to the beach from the villa on his dive days. We had some wonderful evenings on the deck, having cooked dinner ourselves after a hard day on the beach, catamaran, yatcht or diving. It was a truely lovely holiday made all the more special because of the villa - we will certainly be returning and would have no heistation in recommending!
Antigua has 365 beaches, one for each day of the year, all of which are open to the public all year round. The unspoilt island of Barbuda can be visited via the Barbuda Express ferry for a day visit or there are sailing trips available if you want to stay for a few days. If you want to capture the amazing scenery of the whole island and surrounding areas then a helicopter tour is a must, you will see just about all of Antigua's coastline and you could also fly over Montserrat and get a closer look at an active volcano!! You could also take advantage of one of the many catamaran tours, Wadadli Cats or Treasure Island Cruises, to see the island from the sea and snorkel in crystal clear waters. Deep sea diving is available, with Jolly Dive,they go out daily to dive at Cades Reef and other location including wrecks.From Jolly Harbour Marina there are also deep sea fishing trips,. There are many places of interest to visit in Antigua including Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbour and Shirley Heights where on a Sunday afternoon there is a BBQ with a live Steel Band playing until sunset when a local reggae band takes over, not to be missed!! St John's is around a 10 minute drive from Jolly Harbour where there is a good duty free shopping area. Tours are also available by land - Island Safari takes you through Antigua's rain forest and you will take in amazing views of the island and the sea. You can also do the zip lines through the rain forest and get a spectacular view from the tree tops. However if all you want from your holiday is sun, sea and relaxation then you have to go no farther than a two minute walk to, what we believe, is the most beautiful beach on the island, right on your doorstep!!!
