Luxury 5-Bedroom Villa with Oceanview Infinity Pool & Spectacular Sunsets

It’s hard to find something else to say that hasn’t been stated in previous reviews. This place is amazing! I’ll start with the booking. The Robert’s family does it right. Our host, Andrez couldn’t have been kinder or more accommodating. The spacious, clean home was perfect for our large family while we awaited my son’s arrival after competing in The World’s Toughest Row. It was perfect for his recuperation as we enjoyed the spectacular views, amazing pool, and stunning beaches. The location is perfect to take in a different beach everyday and a 30 minute drive to English Harbor as we cheered on other boats coming in while enjoying the historic Nelson’s Dockyard. The property manager, Nair, was readily available and responsive when needed. Lorraine and her cleaning staff are lovely and accommodating. Your stresses will really disappear while staying at Ft. Shelley, it’s magical.

My family and I stayed at the villa and had the most wonderful vacation yet. Andrez and Nair were so helpful and accommodating! They were able to put us in touch with a driver, Shastri, whom we had throughout the week. He was wonderful and such a pleasure to get to know. He was so punctual and always made himself available around our schedule. The villa is situated way up on a hill and the views are incredible. As others have said, the pictures don’t do it justice. The view never got old! It was hard to leave when the car came to take us to the airport. The location is about 15 minutes from Jolly Harbour, where a couple of our excursions left from. We were about a 30 minute drive from English Harbour, where we also went a couple of times. Shastri gave us many suggestions on local beaches and restaurants and my entire family truly enjoyed every recommendation. It was such a wonderful vacation. We will definitely consider going back, maybe with a group and rent out both villas. Thank you Andrez and Nair.

We had a great time at Fort Shelley. The staff was amazing. One night, we had a special meal prepared by the staff. They did a great job. House very clean. The view from the house and pool were incredible.

I'm not sure if I will be able to accurately state how incredible the villa and the family that hosts this villa are. From the great communication and service provided to our family to the breadth taking views, our trip was made enjoyable by staying here. The hosts made our transition from the airport to the villa smooth. The ladies in our group had a spa day on site that was arranged by the hosts. It was well worth setting this up. If you are looking for a great place to stay on Antigua, this is it. There are many places to eat near by and the beaches are great. By far one of our top places we have stayed at. Highly recommended!

Words cannot begin to express how happy we were with our stay at Fort Shelley! This was our family's first trip to the island and we spent New Year's week exploring and enjoying as much as we could. The villa's location midway between Jolly Beach and English Harbor was perfect - there were lots of restaurants and groceries within easy driving distance.The house was clean and well equipped. The views are incredible - especially the sunset. The infinity pool is AMAZING. In fact, that is the only issue I have with the property - it was so nice it was REALLY hard to find the motivation to leave for our planned activities. :-) Our hosts were excellent and ensured that we had everything we needed during our trip. They also saved the day when I left our passports behind - making sure we got them in time to make our flight back home. I have never experienced such service and friendliness - thank you Andrez and Nair!!I have already recommended this property to several friends and family members and cannot wait for an excuse to return!

We had a great stay. Plenty of room for 2 families, great location, and the property managers super helpful. The pool is spectacular as well. Many great beaches within 5-15 min drive.

Beautiful view! The pool is absolutely exquisite as is the view from every bedroom's balcony. House is not very well stocked if you plan to cook at all, but lots of good cheap food to be had nearby to eat home cooked food from outside. Hosts were incredibly kind, flexible, and responsive.

This property is spectacular! Better than the pics. I rented both villas over '23/'24 New Years for my wife's 50th birthday celebration. We had a group of 15 adults and everyone had a fantastic time. A highlight was the 5-piece steel/pan drum band the hosts helped us arrange for sunset b-day at the pool. 1) The view is amazing. Sunsets (and sunrises) are incredible. 2) The Roberts (Andrez, Nair and family) are extremely friendly and helpful. 3) The house is spacious, comfortable and clean. The master bedroom in each villa is massive. Every room has an ocean view. 4) Chef-prepared meals can be arranged, but we chose to eat most meals out. The hosts were extremely helpful in stocking the house with basics (breakfast, drinks, etc). 5) The location is great and convenient. There is 1 nice beach within a short walk, but we chose to explore different beaches and areas on the island each day. Many great beaches within a 10-15 min drive. We used Craig Lake's 'Get There' cab service (He could accommodate all of us in 1 van) We rented 1 car, too, which the hosts arranged for us. 8) Shirley Heights is 30-40 min away and is well worth the trip for the BBQ/Steel Drums on Thurs or Sun!! 9) A very popular snorkeling spot (Cade's Reef) is directly offshore from the house. It's too far to swim, but you can book trips from nearby. We rented a catamaran out of Jolly Harbor. I would absolutely stay here again!! (Others in our group are already planning it.)

Pictures do not do these villas justice! The views are magnificent! The villas are huge & roomy. BUT…beyond the beauty of the space & views, the service was WONDERFUL! From Andrez, his dad & brother to the BEST COOKS…Ms. Heather, Adria & Paula. The food was magnificent! We were taken care so well! Love it!!!

This property’s design is amazing; it is positioned so that you get beautiful views of the Caribbean Sea from every room. The Villas are located up the hill from the main road with a paved drive way, therefore, access by vehicle was smooth. The double security gates that enclose the property were wide enough to accommodate our tour bus and the circular driveway was large enough for the bus to make a full turn comfortably. The private setting was ideal, we rented both villas. (You can rent one at a time if you have a smaller group) My family and friends enjoyed being away from the crowds of the larger, noisy, impersonal, resorts. We were able to be festive without worrying about disturbing neighbors. Although we were a large group we never felt cramped. The two main buildings are connected by a beautifully landscaped tropical garden walkway, but are far enough apart that if you only rent one villa it would still feel private. Next time I may take walkie-talkies to communicate with people in the other Villa, because even though wifi is included, the service was inconsistent and my cellular service was international so I was trying to avoid using it. The infinity edge pool had umbrellas for shade, sun lounges for those who didn’t want shade; as well as, sitting chairs and tables for pool side card games and snacks. We spent much time there in the day and at night playing music and enjoying the deck. Near the pool deck is an outdoor shower which was helpful for washing sand off when you return from the beach, we didn’t want to track it into the Villas. The villas high ceilings kept the us cool when the doors & windows were open so we could enjoy the Caribbean breeze; but we also had the option of using the AC if we wanted. The common areas were laid out so well that the loud sounds of laughter from our late night game night didn’t disturb the group members that went to bed earlier. These villas were really a great space for bonding & making memories. Mrs. Roberts even made us a homemade rum cake that tasted spectacular!!! This very personal touch was another reason we were happy booking with a local family. There was a private chef option, but our group chose to visit Ojs Beach Bar, Miracles Restaurant, Turner’s Beach Bar, Al Porto’s for Pizza, Dennis Restaurant, and Aunty Carvelle’s at Darkwood Beach because they we all so close by. Overall we had a great stay. Thumbs up.
