BEAUTIFUL SUNSET OCEANFRONT VILLA WITH INFINITY POOL

Ocean House is the perfect property to rent for a family holiday in Antigua. The villa and outside areas are immaculate, the view is sensational, and the direct access to the sea is a real bonus. Our kids loved every second but in particular swimming in the the infinity pool. Liz is a wonderful host, so helpful and insightful, and the housekeeper Maudrina kept the villa clean and tidy throughout (and she's a lovely lady too!) This is a genuine 5 star property, I cannot fault it! We will be back!

We came for a week over Christmas with 8 of our family. The pros of this place are the location, pool and dock. The negatives far outweighed the postive. We own a VRBO and are not “fancy” people. The decor is straight out of the 70s and 80s. There are broken tiles in the bathroom, broken hooks on the doors, the shower head and handle are both loose. The alarm system is ridiculous. I understand it is city code but the one going out to the patio had a bad connection or something. I asked the owners to disconnect while there and basically got a dismissive “you’ll get used to it.” Also, you are required to do laundry before you leave and essentially clean all pots, pans and clean the kitchen. With our VRBO we have a cleaning person come in and clean. We don’t ask the people renting to do it! My husband booked this and printed off the “welcome packet” that read like a 50 page manual and we should have known then. Steer clear of this place.

Bottom line - though the house and views are very nice, this is not worth the money. Bad location, terrible property management. Look elsewhere. First, the positives. The house is well decorated, the pool is nice, and dock and views are great. The kitchen is well-stocked to cook for large families. There is a good gym nearby (anatomy fitness). The negatives: - Neighborhood is sketchy. While there is a hotel down the road, the neighborhood is mixed and there is literally a junkyard surrounded by barbed wire on the corner. - Location - it is a harrowing 30-60 minute drive to all activities and most restaurants. Nothing is easy. - Groceries - we paid for kitchen to be stocked. We arrived to rotten produce, frozen meat, and stale bread. Turns out manager shopped days earlier and kept our food in her kitchen (yuck). - Laundry. THERE IS NO DRYER! The washer leaves clothes with lint and sand on them, and clothes need to be hung up on a clothesline! With intermittent showers, towels essentially never fully dry. - Security - the property manager gave us an alarm with a panic button on the first day. Later admitted it was nonfunctional - decommissioned because guests misused it. Did not feel safe. - Lastly, the property manager, months after we booked the house and our flights. told us they made an error on another site and forced us to change our dates (and flights). Antigua is a gorgeous place -- but find another house!

OUSTANDING....Liz & Maudrina are the best! The villa is as advertised. Liz was extremely helpful with booking sailing, restaurants etc. My family and I truly enjoyed ourselves and already discussing returning. Continue to maintain the property as it is awesome!

This is without doubt the best villa we have ever stayed in with the most amazing views. The villa itself is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need. The pool and outside spaces are incredible, we would recommend sundowners on the dock to take in the incredible views. Liz is a brilliant host and everything she arranged for us was perfect, from Catch the Cat, Fenella the private chef and arranging day passes to Hodges Bay on Boxing Day when the whole Island was incredibly busy! Maudrina looked after us so well and is so kind and welcoming, her cooking is amazing and we miss her already! We are so grateful to have spent our time here making unforgettable memories and cannot thank Liz and Maudrina enough!

We recently returned from an unforgettable stay at this oceanfront villa, and we can't say enough about the incredible experience we had. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were captivated by the breathtaking views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea, the luxurious accommodations, and the warm hospitality. The villa was immaculate and exceeded our expectations in every way. The spacious living areas, bedrooms, and stunning outdoor spaces were perfect for our family of six. The pool was a refreshing oasis, and the decks and dock provided ample space for relaxing, sunbathing, and enjoying the ocean views. What truly set this villa apart was the exceptional service provided by Maudrina and Liz. Maudrina not only kept the villa spotless, but her culinary skills were nothing short of amazing. Have her cook for you, you will not be disappointed. Liz was very responsive and went above and beyond to assist us with restaurants, taxis, and any requests we had both before we arrived and while there. The villa is close to a variety of activities and amenities. We were just a short drive from beaches, historical sites and restaurants. Additionally, the proximity to an excellent grocery store made it easy to stock up on fresh provisions. Overall, our stay was a dream come true. The luxurious accommodations, impeccable service, and breathtaking surroundings made it the perfect destination for our family. We are already planning our return trip!

We travel to a lot of rental homes, and this was one of the nicest. Liz is an incredibly gracious host, and Maudrina was truly special keeping us in order but not being intrusive. The house and view were amazing, the air conditioning was top notch for an island stay, and although there wasn’t a beach the pool (which we heated) was awesome. It was a spectacular stay.

The property is in a great location, the furniture and the beds are very comfortable, The house is very clean and well organized. The view from the pool and the back deck is amazing and the house is in a great convenient location. Liz was extremely helpful in any of our requests and needs. She was more than happy to set up any reservations for us they even did a brief shopping trip for us prior to our arrival. Maudrina is fantastic, her cooking is delicious and she goes above and beyond to take great care of you. I highly recommend this property to anyone. I would like to let those of you know who care about air conditioning that the main living room and kitchen does not have an individual AC unit. However you are able to open the doors and windows and let the cool breezes come through. However there are times where this may be slightly uncomfortable to those who care about having a climate controlled environment. Overall her experience was fantastic and I couldn’t speak any higher of this property, thank you to Liz again and to Maudrina for all your

We did a lot of research before choosing and booking The Ocean House and we definitely made the right decision! Liz was so helpful every step of the way and it was a pleasure to see Maudrina each day and learn different tips/history of the house and the island from her. Our family of 6 had a fabulous time and everyone loved The Ocean House. Pictures don’t do it justice and it has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. Communication with Liz before and during our trip was so quick and easy. She even came by at the end of our trip to say goodbye. We have already recommended The Ocean House to our friends and family and we hope to be able to return one day soon! Thank you Liz and Maudrina for a wonderful experience. Karen, Bill & Family

The Ocean House is amazing! Beautiful view of the ocean and the infinity pool is wonderful. Liz helped book all dinner reservations and excursions. Maudrina is so sweet! She kept the house immaculate, and cooked us some amazing meals. Great vacation for our family of 6. Highly recommend!

We had a great stay - the summary on line is really accurate. Highly recommended
