As a former estate agent, it is an absolute pleasure to host a growing number of properties available for short term rentals in and around Jolly Harbour, Antigua. Worldwide Travel Ideas Limited has visited and photographed each property and met with the owners/property managers.
The current selection of rental properties ranges from studio apartments suitable for solo travellers and couples to a luxury 6 bed villa.
Jolly Harbour, Antigua
Jolly Harbour is located on the west coast of Antigua. This stretch of coastline is home to some of Antigua's most favoured beaches - Jolly, Valley Church, Crabbe Hill and Ffryes. The latter has just been voted amongst the top 50 best beaches in the world.
Jolly Harbour has a yacht filled marina with many popular restaurants, shops and a large supermarket, Epicurean. This is ideal for stocking up on groceries when staying in self-catering accommodation both within the gated community and the range of properties close by.
