Holiday houses in Pares

Wow! What can we say that hasn’t already been said?! The Blue Pearl Cottage is exquisite - much larger and more polished than the photos suggest. The love poured into the cottage is evident, and the finish is excellent. Thoughtful touches like sun cream, mosquito spray, and even the offer to do laundry make you feel truly cared for. Arno is incredibly engaging - we had such fun with him on the snorkel tour and highly recommend it. We’re not sure where else on the island you could get a better experience or deal. The bay is very private, with incredibly clear and warm water - perfect for snorkeling, fishing, and kayaking. Long Bay Beach is only a 10-minute walk away and quickly became one of our favorite beaches in Antigua. We loved being able to keep the windows and doors open at night, thanks to the cottage’s privacy, and we never needed air conditioning during our stay in late May. Puss Puss the cat was the icing on the cake - such a gentle creature whose company we loved.

Our stay at Bernard’s place was awesome. The home is exactly as described and looks just like the photos. Literally 5 mins from the airport ..I mean it’s walking distance!! Thoughtful amenities and very clean and comfortable. We saw lots of thoughtful things there that you won’t normally find at an air bnb and I’ve stayed at many! Like for example there was an umbrella hanging on the door in case it rained ..small little things like that do not go un- noticed. They set the bar real high for others. The host is super responsive and nice. There was a water issue and it was resolved in leas than an hour even though it was at night. The plumber came within 30 mins … now that is impressive!! Plenty of linens and clean towels - even a washer and dryer. Plenty of dishes, utensils and cookware if we decided to make a meal. There wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t provided. Don’t walk-run to reserve this home. It’s well worth the money you will spend. Not overpriced either!!!

Simona is a dedicated and really friendly host who cares about the well-being of her visitors. The apartment is very clean. Simona helped us communicate with different towers for our reservations. Also, she is always available. I recommend this apartment in which we were very comfortable. The view of the mountains is splendid and it is so pleasant to spend our evenings there watching the beautiful starry sky. The location is very well located. This was a great stay!

I was never the one to write these. I would read reviews and think, “why are they being so extra”. I will have to say Coleen’s property was amazing. Now this is a bitter sweet review because I honestly want to keep this location all to myself but I have to say, everything about the place was so amazing, it was clean, the instructions were spot on and it was one of the best stays ever. During my stay, the island had a schedule power outage for maintenance on the power lines and I had no idea because the property had a backup power system, Coleen literally thought of everything. So please. As much as I want to keep this gem tucked away I have to say. It was an amazing experience.

Blanka made our stay very welcoming and allowed us an early check in and Kate check out because of flight issues. We were very appreciative of Blanka’s hospitality and will recommend anyone to stay there. The home was very well kept and easily accessible.

Last minute reservation. Host was friendly, & responsive in accommodating me on such short notice. Place was nice & clean just as in pictures.

Villa Marisol & Solveig are special. The cottage is in a gated courtyard & just minutes from a powder-soft beach known for its snorkelling. The infinity pool is in such a heavenly setting & taking in the atmosphere & watching the visiting hummingbirds from the verandah is bliss. We loved the privacy the cottage offers, but it was fun to chat to Solveig & see her two gorgeous dogs too. Inside; the cottage is serene, immaculately clean & beautifully furnished. Everything you could ever need is here & works seamlessly & there is plenty of storage. Some days we had to literally tear ourselves away to explore Solveigs many wonderful recommendations. Just to mention: Sometimes things go wrong. Even on holiday. On our drive back to the airport I had an unavoidable car accident. Solveigs support & reassurance helped make a distressing situation go easier on me. We won't forget her kindness & beautiful spirit & would recommend Villa Marisol, the wonderful island & its people in a heartbeat.

Amazing view, nice and knowledgeable hosts. We had a great stay! Don’t forget to get a 4x4 as the road to access can be challenging with a regular car… the restaurant down the hill is very convenient for a date night!
