Holiday houses in Five Islands village

A gorgeous villa. 3 lovely ensuite bedrooms-spacious, really effective air conditioning and lovely pool. A 5-minute walk to Long Bay-we think it’s the best beach on the island (we have seen many others during this and previous visits to Antigua). There are 2 restaurants on the beach. We didn’t try Long Bay restaurant, which seemed more formal, as we were a family with younger children. However, we did visit Mama Pasta next door many times- run by an Italian lady (Rosa) and her Antiguan husband (Cedric). Wide menu, incl fab home made pizzas and ice cream (and great chocolate cake). Nowhere open in the evenings, but didn’t matter as we had a car. Our American host Cheri is the best! Fabulously communicative and knowledgable, having lived in Antigua for many years. She lives just a few houses away and always there for advice and information. In our opinion the best host we have ever known. A lovely lady, friendly and great to chat with. Thanks Cheri-we’ll be back!

My partner and I enjoyed the most beautiful time at Judith’s place. Lenard Josiah communicated with us from before our flight, through landing, arranged a car to pick us up at the airport and take us to the supermarket and to the home. He also arranged a local car rental when our corporate rental was overbooked and fell through. The host team was always responsive, helpful and kind. The island itself is beautiful and this side of the island definitely has the most beautiful beaches! Sunsets were spectacular. My advice: RENT THE CAR!!! The highlight of our time was the flexibility to drive around the island ourselves exploring, tasting great food, meeting the kindest local people. We would 1000% stay here again.

This was the perfect place to stay before a sailing trip out of Jolly Harbor Marina. So easy and convenient. Walking distance to restaurants and the supermarket.

Cannot say enough great things about this stunning property. The bed was very comfortable and there is endless hot water which can be a challenge in the Caribbean. It’s located on top of a hill overlooking the sea and was very private and secure. The views were gorgeous and the house had everything we needed. The pool and outdoor shower (try it!) were used daily. Excellent AirCon. The property manager Kevin lives a few houses down and greeted us on check-in—he was super helpful and gave us lots of information about the island. The owner—also a Kevin—was extremely communicative and set up a text group when we arrived in case we needed anything. I highly recommend renting the car they have available—very spacious and good gas mileage—-we drove all over the island all week and it was handy to just keep the beach chairs and umbrella in the back and throw the cooler in every day. Deep Bay Beach is extremely close to the house and beautiful—very private and quiet. Would 100% book this again.

Great place matched the descriptions perfectly. I would gladly stay again!

I would highly recommend staying here and would stay here again. The location was perfect and close to great beaches, restaurants, and the grocery store. The views were gorgeous. The pool and neighbors were perfect and welcoming. We rented a car and had a blast exploring the island and its amazing beaches. Half moon bay beach is definitely worth the trek across the island. Lorraine was very fast at responding when I had questions about the location before I booked. The information she provided about the local beaches and restaurants was extremely helpful. There is air conditioning in the bedroom and fans on there balcony and living room. The condo cools off very quickly with the fans, ocean breeze, and balcony doors open. The bedroom cools off super quick so no need to run the air all day or anything like that.

Nicki's place was absolutely stunning! An absolutely perfect weekend getaway nestled in the hillside. Everything was so well cared for and clean and Nicki was incredible! She was so responsive, helpful with instructions, and wonderful for lively conversation. If you're looking for an amazing value for your money, go here. I will 100% be returning.

Halcyon Dream is a wonderful apartment and Marco is a responsive, helpful host. The unit itself is quite large and multiple AC units are sufficient for the space. The complex itself is boutique-like, unique and has picturesque views of the island and Dickenson Bay. The pool/balcony are both quite nice with stunning sunset views. There’s even a friendly kitty on the property! We had a blast and highly recommend Halcyon Dream and Marco as a host.

We had a great stay at Kristty’s place. It was spacious, clean and had everything we needed for our week stay in Antigua. The home is in a secluded area where we felt very safe and it was nice to be away from all of the hustle and bustle. Be prepared to hear nature sounds all around you day and night. This didn’t bother us at all, but if you are a light sleeper, you may want to bring earplugs. Kristty went above and beyond when she organized our transportation to and from the airport and even organized her friend to bring us food when our food delivery app did not work. She was very responsive, communicated quickly and provided travel tips and recommendations. Any minor issues were dealt with right away. For example, the wifi was down when we got there (an issue out of her control) and she went above and beyond to ensure we had data on our cell phones for our entire stay. One thing we would suggest is renting a car to get around the island, however, the beach is only a 30 min walk.
