Beachfront holiday rental in Saint Mary

Wow! The view! We had a great stay with our two year old. Do you want the $1,000/night view on a budget? This is your spot. We rented a car through Mandy on property and also had a great experience. Make sure you read about what is and what is not included in the amenities, as it seems some other reviewers did not.

This is a great place to stay, with incredible views of one of the very best beaches in Antigua. Instant response time to messages, very friendly staff, great food, bananas and papayas in the garden

We absolutely loved it, a real home from home, perfectly located, brilliant, helpful lovely staff. Can’t wait to come back

We fell in love with this beautiful location and comfortable house. Simonetta and Mark were kind, generous and attentive hosts - thank you for making my Birthday one to remember! The space and facilities were perfect. Comfortable beds, spotlessly clean, well equipped kitchen and fabulous outdoor space - the views from the wrap around veranda were exceptional. Galleon bay itself is a lovely area, you can easily get to English Harbour either by car or the water taxi from the beach, safe swimming and the national park trail on your doorstep. Fantastic atmosphere and food at the loose canon beach bar ( although you will hear the parties at the house it was never a problem) - can’t wait to come back.

Great house with the best location on the beach. Only thing - we did not know this is inside and part of a resort with resort routines for checking in and out and coming and going. Charming house and outside deck is top notch!

Had a great stay. Amazingly conveniently located for both marinas but far enough away for peace and quiet.

I was thinking of giving Merlin House a negative review so that no one else would go there and we could keep it a secret. Instead I’m going to say that this is one of the best AirBnB’s we have stayed at, and absolutely unbeatable for views. Nathan’s hospitality was superb, the location is stunning and peaceful. A better place to relax and enjoy I can’t think of.

We had an amazing time at Sara's place. She gave great recommendations and always super responsive. My favorite part was the back patio that looks out into the ocean. Also the breeze and sound from the water is amazing at night. I will definitely be going to this place again!

Great spot and very good value for Antigua. The house was great with a nice relaxing outdoor seating area backing onto Jolly Harbour itself. It was about 10-15 minutes walk from the beach. Stepan, Sergio's assistant was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. Maria, Stepan's wife was also very welcoming and kind - thank you both!

Great location, near a beautiful beach (our favourite so far!!) and direct access to the water for my SUP!! The house had beautiful views from the balcony and patio. It was spacious, had everything you need to cook and has washer/dryer facilities. Air con worked well. Added bonus was UK plug adapters as we forgot ours!! You will definitely need a car or golf cart to get around. The supermarket in the complex is the best we have found so far and the only place that seems to sell fresh milk. El Porto was reasonably priced, food was good and there was live music on Monday.

Stacey was very responsive. That is a huge plus especially when we are tired from traveling and not familiar with the island. Her partner was there to greet us and he provided a tour. We had decided to rent a golf cart and it was at the property waiting for us when we arrived. There was a small issue and Stacey had someone come take care of us immediately. The property is picturesque, close to the beach and very comfortable. There is also a small grocery within walking distance which provided what we needed to be able to eat in. The tv was set up with a Firestick and ready for use. Nice little surprise. Overall was a wonderful stay! Would recommend to anyone.

The private deck and garden are outstanding. There is a wide variety of exotic plants and visiting animals, including hummingbirds, lizards, and snails. The villa overlooks a beautiful harbour and hillls. The location is excellent - 5 minute walk to Jolly Beach, 8 minute walk to a well-stocked supermarket (Epicurean), good access to restaurants, bars, water sports, tour agents and transport. The villa is in a neighbourhood of similar villas facing the harbour. We felt quite private and secure. Chris and Katie were very responsive, provided helpful and structured information and were very flexible, including in respect of late check-out.

The staff at the complex are extremely helpful, went the extra mile to help arrange accommodations including airport transfer. The pool area was easily accessible and great for lounging. The hot water wasn’t working but outside of that it was a great stay.

After a bad experience with the original Airbnb we had rented, we found Irina’s listing and turned our vacation into a wonderful one. She quickly responded to our initial message and was very kind and helpful. What a lovely townhouse in a beautiful area - once there we finally felt like we were on vacation. Don’t hesitate to rent this!!!

Excellent location, close to the beach, great restaurants nearby - highly recommend this spot for a stay in Antigua. Jolly Harbor was our favorite spot in Antigua and is a great home base for anyone's visit. Kevin was a great host, very responsive and helpful getting us checked-in.

Had a lovely relaxing time at Whispering Palms villa. It was spacious, well equipped with a great sunny deck and bbq. Walking distance to beach, swimming pool, supermarket and several restaurants. Trevor and his wife gave us lots of great recommendations and kindly drove us to the supermarket on our arrival before our hire car was delivered.

The home looked like it did in the photos. It was clean, had supplies that we would need. Stacy was very responsive and accommodating. The hole is in a great location. It is quiet, there is a grocery store within walking distance; there a fine restaurants in the complex; the are local vendors; it is on the bus route; close to the beach.

Stacey was always available to answer questions regarding the place, though there were lots of labels so everything was easy to find without needing her to tell us where to find what we were looking for. The place itself was so lovely, the other people staying in the apartments were friendly, and sitting on the deck with the morning cup of tea watching the sun come up was so peaceful. Also suitable for getting around the island nothing was more than a 50min drive away. Definitely would stay here again

A Slice of heaven on Earth! I was absolutely blown over by this beautiful idyllic sandy beach and stunning coastline. A sheer haven of peace. You instantly feel a sense of purification . The golden sands and the dazzling , clear blue sea is unimaginable and is just literally a a foot step away from the beach house. At the beach house it’s like your own private beach, secluded with hardly any other person insight. However if you prefer more people / tourist interaction you can find that at other beaches not too far away. The beach house is spacious comfortable and clean . The home owners are a lovely couple and you have the house all to yourself, uninterrupted. My family and I had the most amazing blissful and relaxing holiday there. It was peaceful, tranquil and downright therapeutic. Highly recommended, we will surely be returning there!

The villa is in the best location in Jolly. Short walk to one of the best beaches on the island and 10 minute walk to supermarket and restaurants and bars.

Fantastical place and vibe - much more than the pictures convey. Great location and quiet part of the island. There are plenty of local places to discover and it’s easy to dodge cruiser tourists. The cottage has most everything you need. Suggest you bring your own laundry detergent (we left some behind : ) as well as shampoo and hand soap. The kitchen is well stocked to prepare and enjoy locale fare including fresh catch. Overall a great getaway - well worth the trip.
