Large home, central location
The home was large and comfortable, and we enjoyed several afternoons by the pool watching the hummingbirds — lovely place to sit out. Alastair and Hazel were very helpful and accommodating, we appreciated that very much. The house is in a great central location — close to beaches, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Along with this proximity to some neighboring nightspots, we did have some issues with noise late at night on the weekends.

The outside area for this villa was amazing. We lived out there! From the pool to the bbq to the shaded seating, it worked so well for us. We rented a car so it was easy for us to get places, but there were restaurants right across the street and a food market around the corner. The bedrooms were all large and comfortable and the 3 ensuites were such an added bonus! Both the owner and the property manager were in touch with me many times and the manager is just a text away!

good but could be excellent
First, the pros. Alastair was quick to respond to all queries and was also able to supply lots of information about the island. The villa is very spacious, 3 large on suite bedrooms, excellent outdoor space and grounds, perfect for a family or group of friends. Close to some of the best beaches on the island and of course the supermarket at Jolly harbour Now the cons. Villa is beginning to look tired and needs a bit of a revamp, the white goods need replacing, fridge /freezer has shelves missing and both the dishwasher and BBQ have seen better days. Also the drawers in all the bedroom dressers collapse when pulled open, they just fall of the runners However, the worst thing about the villa and which is beyond the control of the owner is the noise from the beach bars opposite, if you wish to be awake till 2am each night listing to loud thumping music and very bad karaoke then fine if not then I would highly recommend looking elsewhere.

Beautiful Antigua
We had a great time at Ffryes house. Both the owner and the local property manager were very responsive. The house is large, beautifully decorated, and offers a lot of privacy. The pool was clean and refreshing, One can walk to several restaurants across the street, and there are 5 amazing beaches within 5 min drive (Jolly, Valley Church, FFryers, Darkwood, and Turner). Walking to the beach is possible, but very unpleasant because the 15 min walk is along a busy main road with no sidewalks. The owner told us during booking that we would benefit from renting a car, and he was right. We rented the car on the second day. Finally, there were some issues with appliances (stove and fridge) that the local property manager tried to address right away, but there were tricky to fix. My guess is that they would be fixed my the next stay. Also, keep in mind that the only toiletries provided are the hand soap and some toilet paper, but the supermarket is very close for buying the rest. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!
