Holiday rentals in Gages

Unfortunately, I can’t honestly review Tom & Chrystal’s place. Tom had reached out a couple of weeks prior to inform me that due to scheduling issue, he had made arrangements for us stay at another villa, which was absolutely amazing! By chance we ran into Tom and family at the local dive shop, and we ended up eating lunch together. Everything I had come to learn online was met in person: kind, friendly, funny, generous… Good people, and we count ourselves lucky to have gotten to spend time with them. So, even though I can’t speak about Crow’s Nest in Woodlands, I can say my interactions with Tom and Chrystal were 100% positive, and I would happily stay at their place at the next opportunity.

Beautiful home, very private, less than 5 minutes from the beach (walk one block), and the beach itself feels almost private -- no crowds, barely anyone when we were there. If you are looking for a 5-star luxury hotel, this isn't it. But if you are looking for privacy, relaxation, and enough room to fit a family or a group of friends then Marsha's home could be just what you want. Jolly beach (and its supermarket and restaurants) is 15 minutes away by car. English Harbour is about 40 minutes away. Definitely rent a car (you can park in the gated driveway). Side note here -- driving in Antigua can be a bit annoying: roads are narrow, no shoulders, no markings, and full of potholes, so stay sharp. Drivers are super nice, however, and will always move to let you pass. Back to the house, you have everything there that you actually need. Sheryl was very prompt and super helpful with all the questions we had!

I enjoyed Montserrat and Cathy helped me a lot to make it happen, sharing very useful tourist material, personally guiding me to the cottage, always being attentive and monitoring my experience. The place is confortable and with a great view. I fully recommend to stay with her!

This place is a hidden gem. Darryl and Daff are extremely kind and interesting hosts. Their stories about the island, the people and the culture are very insightful and make the exploration of the island much more interesting. The location is the best possible one on the island : we had access to all the best beaches , just in close distance. Watching the blue water and the sunset from the balcony was our favorite part. We were having coffee in the morning while watching the humming birds flying around the blooming flowers in front of the balcony. The house has everything that we needed and even more: the beach beds, the snorkeling gears.. they have thought of every detail to make our stay easy and enjoyable. It was one of the best places that we have stayed so far. Thank you, guys. We will be back.

This is a beautiful home in all respects. It is very cozy and comfortable with all the modern appliances and everything is of high quality. The garden is gorgeous with beautiful flowers, palm trees and tropical plants. We enjoyed the porch and often ate our meals on the porch. The home has been extremely well cared for and was spotless. Tulip and Nigel are wonderful, friently hosts and were eager to assist us at all times. They had provided many goodies for us upon arrival which we greatly appreciated! It is located in a quiet neighborhood and just a few minutes walk to the seaside but it is not a beach you can swim at. We felt that a car was necessary and we did rent a car so that we could explore other areas of the island and drive to the grocery store about 10 minutes away. There is a bus service to take you to the local beaches but we did not use the buses. You will enjoy your stay!

I enjoy this location. This was my son’s first time traveling to the island so it was a very good experience for us. We will definitely be back. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone.

We really enjoyed our time at Calabash. The house was very nice and clean, and Howard and Jenny were great hosts. Sunsets on the deck are gorgeous, our kids loved the pool, and we loved being able to walk down to Darkwood Beach (only about a half mile down the path). The proximity to Jolly Harbour was also great- lots of options for dining close by. Four wheel drive is a must for navigating the road and steep driveway, but I would recommend four wheel drive for anyone wanting to drive anywhere on the island.

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!
