Avis The Carib House, Turtle Bay 5 room villa, pool, views, beach, English Harbour

I would recommend this as a great place to stay and it was very reasonably priced for the space it provided. The communication, both with the owner (Lou) and the property manager while we were there (Jonti), was absolutely phenomenal. Lou reached out well in advance to help us get the fridge stocked (paid separately) and also arranged free transportation to and from the airport and helped us arrange a rental car to be dropped off at the property the next day that we were able to use for the week (paid separately). They also recommended vendors for our various activities (e.g. Scuba). Jonti was a wonderful host and she is a fantastic chef, who was available to serve an in home dinner (paid separately). The only cautionary item worth noting is that the house is a couple miles from the main road and the road leading to the house is (mostly) gravel / dirt and a very poor surface, so any guests that aren’t planning on taking taxis for any trips should understand they’ll want to rent an SUV (sedan might bottom out in some of the potholes) and that you will definitely need to drive anywhere (only a ~10 minute drive to Falmouth / English harbors, but it is not walkable). The description of the rental staff as being available whenever you need them and disappearing when you want your space could not be more accurate. The house itself was great, but I would consider staying in another property owned and operated by Lou and their team because they were such a great host.

The property was amazing, although sort of off the beaten path…but that’s not even a problem with having a driver available anytime. The house was spectacular and Lou (owner) was always a call away, willing to help, pick up groceries, drinks, whatever. The house is probably better than the pictures online. And the pool was a great size! Would recommend The Carib House, and Lou, to anyone.

Caribe House was such a great experience, space was incredible, the pool was awesome and Lou was available to answer any/all questions while we stayed there.

Our vacation has been in the making since the beginning of the pandemic. Lou has been wonderful to work with. The Carib House was perfect!! Waking up to the sounds of the ocean,relaxing in the pool,traveling to the vast number of beautiful beaches was amazing. The way the bedrooms are arranged with the downstairs one and the cottage one offered everyone not only comfortable accommodations but privacy as needed. Our grandchildren loved having the pool and we all enjoyed the pool table in the evenings. It was great to follow the path down to the beach for sunset pictures. Lou was so great to arrange for dinner brought in upon our arrival. She made so many wonderful recommendations making for a fantastic, relaxing week for your family. We are already planning our next week.

Lou was excellent and extremely accessible at all times. Thoughtful touches throughout (shampoo/conditioner, beach towels and swimming towels/hairdryers etc). Highly recommend.

There are so many amazing words and wide range of emotions that are evoked when reflecting on our recent stay at The Carib House such as: breath taking, beautiful, restful, peaceful, tranquil, amazing views, family bonding but in the end the words that best describes the home/villa is “Shangri-La” Heaven on Earth, as described by James Milton. From the open floor plan of the home to the spacious and refreshing salt water pool, to the vista of where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, the home not only met our expectations but abundantly exceeded it! The ample dinning areas with either views of the ocean or breakfast tables with views of the bay and mountains with the sun resplendently rising behind it afforded the perfect opportunity for the family to bond and share quality time. The home’s beauty was equally matched by the wonderful service provided by Mrs Yolanda who kept the home in an impeccable condition while being incredible pleasant and loving especially to our little ones. What also complemented our stay was how accessible, communicative and available Lou was throughout our entire stay while providing dinning options, sight seeing ideas or just local advice (always a WhatsApp away) Carib House is not only the perfect family vacation but for smaller groups the options given the villas layout is perfect or for larger ones too. Staying here is a must again. The only minor draw back (not Carib House only but a function of Antigua which adds to its charm) is that the road leading to the villa does need a little bit of TLC ( where doesn’t with the USA spending $750b on an infrastructure bill) but just some thing small to understand before hand.

A small group of us travelled to Antigua looking for a relaxing break for a last minute trip. The villa was huge for the 4 of us and the swimming pool and sea views were fantastic. The location was perfect and we had an SUV to get around. Lou is not only the villa owner but an amazing host! Lou went above and beyond - she helped us get fresh fish for dinner, had all the local recommendations and even organized a chef to cook a special birthday dinner one night. Antigua is a beautiful island and would love to come back and stay at the Carib House!

Great location, great island, great holiday
