Luxury hillside family retreat set in 3/4 acre tropical garden stunning views

Hi and welcome to our beautiful Villa Amazing and we are pleased to announce we have maintained our Premier Host status for 2024!!!
Our villa is a bright and beautiful Caribbean style villa set in it's own 3/4 acre garden, so you are surrounded by tropical trees, plants, birds and wildlife overlooking the breath taking Caribbean Sea. A perfect place to unwind with a cocktail or two watching the stunning sunsets. The villa is designed so that every room has a stunning sea view, with spacious outdoor covered areas for shade and relaxation. The villa has a main building with large salon, fully equipped kitchen and two master super king bedrooms (6'), one with a bathtub and overhead shower and the other with double sinks and walk in shower. Their is a utility room in the main house comprising of a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron, ironing board and large sink . Adjacent to the main building their are two separate cottages one with a king size bed (5') and the other with two small doubles beds (4') both with en suite facilities plus a small fridge . There are a couple of steps up to the back cottage which would be inaccessible for wheelchair users, but the rest of the house and second cottage are all on one level so wheelchair friendly. Both cottages have their own patio area and patio furniture to enjoy the first cup of tea in the morning watching the harbour coming to life in the mornings and to watch dusk descending in the evenings. Our villa can be rented as a 2, 3 or 4 bed so please enquire about the rate which best suits your requirements. Villa Amazing is on a hillside known as Sugar Ridge which is a small gated community with 24 hours security and adjacent to Sugar Ridge Hotel, which is closed at the present time . Our villa overlooks Jolly Harbour where there is a supermarket, pharmacy, atm, many shops and multiple restaurants. Car rental is recommended but JH is in walking distance from the villa roughly a 10 mins walk and so is the beautiful Jolly Beach, a two mile stretch of lovely white sand. The infinity pool measures 20' x 12' with a descending depth from the steps from 3' to 6'. There are 3 security cameras installed but not intrusive. One is on the main gate, main door and the other below the house on the pump room.
Guests of properties on Sugar Ridge can use the gym on the hotel complex. There is no fee but contact has to be made to the hotel manager prior to using
Please also be aware that the Antiguan Government has now introduced a Guest Levy Tax to bookings made on or after 23rd August 2021, which will apply to each staying guest aged 6 years and over. The tax payable is 5 usd per person per night and is collected at check in. If this tax is not paid before departure from the villa then the total tax will be deducted from your security deposit. The 17% ABST is included in your rental price
Many thanks for taking a look today and please message me if you have any questions. Hopefully we look forward to seeing you soon :)

Excellent Family Vacation
We had a wonderful vacation with our family! The separate accommodations were perfect for our set up (in-laws and teenagers). The location is beautiful with amazing views every day regardless of weather. The hillside spot provides cooling cross winds all day that also help keep the evening bugs at bay. Close to beaches and restaurants. Recommend having a car if you plan on exploring the island at all. Pool is fantastic. Garden is well kept. Landscaping is beautiful. The large property is as described and so much more. Private and secure setting makes it easy to relax. Felicia and Pat were wonderful to work with. Very responsive, excellent recommendations. Felicia helped plan an excursion for us. Working with the owner was also easy and quick. We would highly recommend this rental!

Sensational
Villa Amazing is simply fabulous. The views and sunsets from the terrace are incredible - I could have set there all week, just watching the sea and boats coming and going. The layout of the villa suited us perfectly - two double bedrooms in the main building plus two separate ‘studios’ which gave everyone plenty of space. The location is great - private enough when staying in, but easy access to numerous beaches and Jolly Harbour, as well as the rest of the island. Communication with the owner and property manager was first class. If you are looking for the perfect getaway in Antigua - this villa will not let you down!

Villa Amazing
This Villa was perfect for our grown family with children & grandchildren. The spacious layout provided lots of personal space as well as common space for outdoor dining and lounging. The pool was perfect for all & used abundantly. The views were indeed outstanding from every single room. The children enjoyed feeding the kingfishers when they would catch their food mid air. We always had prompt replies from both the owner as well as property manager Felecia, & both went over and beyond our requests.(even delivery of specialty Christmas ornaments we liked💝). Impeccably clean through out & we can’t say anything more than 5*. Thank you for sharing your “Amazing” Villa.

Gorgeous escape with fantastic views
When our party arrived at the property, we were blown away by the breathtaking views first and then by the property itself. We enjoyed our time in the pool and although we didn’t spend a lot of time home, we found that it had everything we needed for our stay to be comfortable. We wished we had more time to be there to watch the hummingbirds and take in the view. Would highly recommend!!

Rachel, the gardener, and Laura made our stay in Antigua awesome. They were always reachable. The villa truly represents its name “Villa Amazing.” It is beautifully decorated, and well stocked with everything one needs while staying there. Inside and outside is well maintained. The outdoor view from the patio and gazebo looking over Jolly Harbor is breathtaking. I would recommend anyone to stay here at “Villa Amazing.”

Perfect family holiday
Five of us went to Antigua for our brothers wedding, and Villa Amazing was the perfect place for us to stay. Really beautiful home in a stunning location overlooking the harbour. We had 10 days and all thoroughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend it. My only negative points were that it was quite high on the hill so you’d need to rent a car or rely on taxis. And the stray cats were a bit of an issue. There were always at least 4 (sometimes as many as 7!) begging for food around the villa. We didn’t ever feed them but they didn’t take the hint and still came back every day. It wouldn’t have mattered so much, but one of our group is allergic to cats so that became a bit of an issue. However all in all I would say if you want to stay by jolly harbour this villa is the prefect spot

Wonderful Week at Villa Amazing
This house is everything it boasts in the property description and photos. The views were amazing of Jolly Harbour, the outdoor space was a great spot to lay out by the pool, have a happy hour beverage in the lenai area, and grill and eat your dinner while watching the sunset. For 8 of us, we rented 2 cars at the airport...all beaches in the area have really convenient parking so we'd pack up the car with coolers and water toys every day. This was our 4th time renting a house in the Jolly Harbour area and had an absolutely memorable week...it wasn't long enough! Highly recommend Villa Amazing...thank you for renting your house to us, Rachel!

Better than Amazing
Well we just returned and we were sad to leave this stunning home. In the right place, with the best views and easy to get to anywhere on the island. This is a magnificent home and if you want somewhere you can relax with friends and family it is perfect. We could not find a single fault or issue with the villa - it was simply stunning and we hope we can be back next year. The management team were first class and Rachel was so kind to organise taxis and car hire for us. Thank you for everything.

Truly Amazing
The views from this property are truly amazing! We would definitely return to this spot! We had a great time in Antigua. I do wish the front room/kitchen area had AC. Despite opening all the windows and doors, it became quite warm in that area, especially if cooking. Also, If you plan to cook much, bring a sharp butcher knife and a spatula-we bought them at the local store to supplement the dull dirty ones provided. We had to wash nearly all the dishes prior to using as many were put away in cupboard with dried food and debris. There was little space in kitchen/freezer for food storage either. The blender wasn’t working so they brought us a new one which was nice. I would recommend this place to people bringing friends or extended family members because there are 2 detached villas with 1 bed/bath each which is very nice and 2 bedrooms in the main house. When you go to the grocery store be sure to buy extra paper towels and napkins because there is only 1 roll provided and they will not bring you more!! Other than this we really had a spectacular time! All in all, we would definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting Antigua.

Villa Amazing lived up to it's name
We stayed over NYE in a very tough time to travel due to the pandemic. There was only 5 of us that stayed at the property a mix of friends and we had an unbelievable stay even thought it took us a bit to get to Antigua. Rachel was great about prepping us for the trip, including planning our tests at the Villa which we needed for our trip home. She was super helpful along the way. Loura, who manages the house, was fantastic. Not only was she on top of everything and helpful, but she was very quick in responding to any questions we had. She even pulled out a last minute massage at the Villa for one of our guests as a surprise birthday present. Darkwood and Ffryes Beaches are both a five minute drive from the house and gorgeous....but the Villa...the pool, the indoor-outdoor living, and that view! I would go back in a second and have already had a ton of friends asking about it. We would recommend 5 stars!

Picture Perfect Views and Great Location!
We recently returned from a 3 wk stay at Villa Amazing. The views are truly “amazing” and are set within a magnificently landscaped yard. Outdoor living spaces are superb and easily accommodated our group of 7, providing ample space to gather or be alone. The pool was perfect for a quick dip or lazing on a float. While not issues for us but of note: The villa accommodates 8 people, but only 6 lounge chairs were provided at the pool. Friendly cats are frequent outdoor visitors. The indoor common area includes a sofa, small kitchen, and breakfast bar for 2. Without AC, this area was uncomfortably hot during the first two weeks of our stay. When things cooled down, the ceiling fan and outside air kept the room comfortable. Seating space in the common room is too small to comfortably seat 8 adults. The only group dining area is a covered outdoor area. The kitchen is well equipped but has limited food prep surfaces and no space to store dry goods. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. All are equipped with AC but 1 unit was broken throughout its occupants’ stay. We reported this issue on 31-Dec. The holiday understandably delayed repairs but the repair was further delayed by the PM’s report that it was not broken. During our final 6 days, 3 different technicians unsuccessfully attempted to repair it. Screens were damaged throughout the house, We were advised to tape the tears. On two evenings, we returned to find flying ants covering the interior walls of the common room. The screen repairman arrived during our final week and told us that he was only authorized to repair the screens in the owner’s bedroom. The internet is very slow (300 to 400 Kbs up and down), making it nearly impossible to work online or for more than 1 user to be online at a time. High speed Internet is readily available on island, including at a nearby Internet cafe and at the Sugar Ridge Hotel. Many thanks to Rachel for opening her home to us and for her quick responses to our endless questions as we planned our trip. Rachel was an enormous help with securing transportation and New Years reservations, and went above and beyond to make inquiries for us. We had a fabulous time in Antigua and can’t wait to return. It’s unfortunate that routine maintenance issues that should have been handled prior to our arrival lowered what would have been a 5-star rating to a 4.

Family getaway to visit our Med student
The name speaks for itself, it was amazing. The property is very well maintained and the buildings were beautifully built. The layout was a well thought out. All the bedrooms were large and spacious as well as the private bathrooms in each. The kitchen is open to the living room and made it very enjoyable while cooking meals to be able to hang out with one another while not being in the way of the family chefs of which three at a time could work comfortably. The patio/pool area is where we really spent all our time. My Son just finished his final exam for first year med school and really just wanted to decompress. The views, the infinity pool and the layout made it the perfect place to do that. The owner Rachael was very helpful with everything and set up a cab from the airport (Mary the driver was also great) and set up a rental minivan. She was always very responsive to anything we needed and I would like to thank her again for helping us have a great family vacation we will always remember
