A blissful spot

We all loved staying at Calypso. The view is truly world class, the villa has a lovely welcoming energy and is very peaceful. The surrounding grounds are beautiful too, with the beach at the bottom of the hill, an easy stroll. We ate outside by the pool most nights. There is a good bbq and the kitchen worked well for us. BTW there isn't a dishwasher. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, with small fridges and have AC if you need it, but the breeze from the ocean, was enough for most of us. June and Bruce are excellent hosts, welcoming and very helpful. I don't think they come any better!

Wonderful Stay at Reggae Villa, Galleon Beach

Our family had a wonderful stay at the beautiful Reggae Villa. The house and pool are gorgeous and worked out wonderfully for my husband and I, our daughter and husband, and their 2 children ages 4 and 1-1/2 yrs. The accommodations were perfect for our group. The kitchen was well-equipped and worked out perfectly for staying in and making dinners (and breakfasts) at home. Given the accessibility of the beautiful infinity pool and our wee children, we had to be on our guard with them. But we were prepared for that and had brought life vests for the youngsters, so all was well. The hosts were wonderful and gave us numerous suggestions for activities and places to shop and eat in the area. It was a pleasure to meet Bruce and am sorry that circumstances kept us from meeting June in person. (Next time!) We love the English Harbor area of Antigua (this is our second trip to Antigua) and highly recommend the area and this villa (and hosts! :)) if you are considering a trip to Antigua!

What do you say about Paradise?

This was an amazing adventure for our family and our friends. Let’s begin at the beginning. We went to Antigua to meet our son who had been on a 3 month sailing cruise around the islands. Our neighbors and traveling companions came with us for 10 total travelers. From the first booking and communication, June and Bruce were incredible. Very responsive. We altered our itinerary - no problem. The island power went out - they called to let us know not to worry, they had solar and battery backup. A myriad of suggestions for food and entertainment, all of which were spot on. Fantastic hosts. Calypso is a gem. As a base for hiking, snorkeling, scuba diving, nights out in town or days spent exploring Antigua, it was our home away from home. We already ordered the hammock that is suspended at the end of the deck. Sunsets, rainbows, meteor showers. Evenings of Reggae and Steel drums up at Shirley Heights or afternoons plunging in the pool after a long hike to the tidal pools. We’ve travelled the islands before and have used VRBO and Airbnb with great success, but June and Bruce and Calypso exceeded our expectations and made our experience magical. We will definitely come back.
