Reviews of Villa Lazy Daze

Nice area, nice villa, nice people😊

Thought the pool was bigger by the pictures advertised. More like a kids pool so could not actually swim. However beach was close by so a bonus!

Beautiful villa

No dishwasher…

We have just returned from our second holiday at Lazy Daze and have had the most wonderful break. Marsha and all of the team looking after the villa provide a wonderful service and are incredibly helpful with anything we needed for our stay. We highly recommend this house for a relaxed and comfortable stay. Marsha and the team looked after us so well, and we will most certainly be booking a third visit in the future.

The villa and pool were nicely designed and properly maintained; instructions were very clear. the host was very supportive and positive, the cleaning was punctual.

Outstanding host communication through the wonderful Marsha, gave recommendations on restaurants and supported with booking. Very clean property and well kept, kitchen facilities and bathroom all in good working order. Poolside decking lovely as well, allows for 8 people to comfortably relax and allows for alfresco dining, LOVED the hammock too :-)

Whilst the villa is described as a home, it’s clearly used as a functional rental property with an abundance of signs in and outside the property which make the look and feel of the place rather ‘unhomely’. Still a great property but doesn’t need the amount of instructional signs everywhere you turn. Another note would be around the description of the location, whilst it says it’s located in Jolly Harbour it’s not technically within the estate and that should be made clear. Only a 7/8 minute walk to the Jolly Harbour estate and would make that clear in the description when booking. Unfortunately slight annoyance on both sides from the neighbours, one was constantly under construction and the other housed 6/7 dogs which would bark at the site of their own shadows. Most likely this was just a moment in time with our visit but worth noting for sure.

The villa is lovely, very well equipped and well loved. If you like the freedom of a villa but want other facilities nearby then Villa Lazy Daze is a fantastic choice. It’s really comfortable and we had everything we needed. It’s in a fantastic location, an easy 5 minute walk from a large supermarket and 6 really good bar / restaurants in Jolly Harbour. They can get busy especially at the weekends so make sure you book if you’re in a large party. A car would be useful if you stay at the villa and want to see a little more of the island – particularly spots like English Harbour and the “Green Corridor” . If driving is not your thing then the villa team are always on hand to arrange local transport. The local team are great and were super helpful and sorted anything we needed immediately.

We did experience some disruption from local building work during our stay. It was unfortunate timing and the team did everything they could to assist but obviously some things were outside of their control. You can get in touch with the Lazy Daze team before confirming the dates of your booking and they’ll give you an honest update on any scheduled / anticipated work in the local area. Overall, if you enjoy holidaying in the Caribbean, want to see the highlights of Antigua and prefer your own space then villa Lazy Daze is a great choice.

Everything the property had to offer

The building work next door!!! Every day .. constant generator.. breakers diggers shouting music … totally ruined our first villa experience… and no offer of any kind of refund ☹️

The property was spacious and very well equipped, the owners appear to have thought about everything . The open plan living was perfect for socialising whilst preparing food. We were 3 couples so the 1 en-suite and 2 further bathrooms was perfect. The pool was beautiful and the furniture around the pool and beneath the veranda allowed for time in the sun and shade and outside dining. Jolly beach was about 15 minutes walk away, this may not suit everyone, particularly in heat and humidity, however the beach was well worth the walk. The sea was wonderful and we enjoyed early walks and sunset walks there, enjoying cocktails at Sandra’s bar. The supermarket was about an 8 minute walk away which was convenient. I have to mention the individuals who supported us during our visit. Marsha greeted us and ensured we were familiar with the villa, she also remained in regular contact via WhatsApp. She provided information about events, particularly the fact that it is possible to enjoy the steel pan music at Shirley Heights on a Thursday evening and not just on Sundays- it was not so busy and we enjoyed cocktails, bbq and steel pan and reggae without being too crowded. Marsha also helped us to get in touch with Rodney Baltimore who drove us to Shirley Heights and also Nelson’s historic dockyards and the airport . Rodney was vey knowledgeable about his island and provided a wonderful service www.adventuroushikes.com I must not forget Hollis, who provided maintenance at the property and even brought us additional water for the cooler when we ran out and resolves an issue with the wifi when there was an outage. He also provided us with useful information about our location. A beautiful island with even more beautiful people! All the locals said hello as you passed them.

There was nothing about the property that we did not like, however unfortunately the neighbours to one side had 3-4 dogs which appeared to roam freely in the garden and they would yap, bark and whine at any time of day if disturbed, particularly throughout the night and it would appear that the owners did very little to stop them.

The deck ámbiance was awesome. The villa was very funcional and hygenic The responses were amazingly timely The host (Marsha) was very accommodating and the customer service was Indeed exceptional.

The deck área at the front Door entrance is very slippery when wet. A large non skid mat should be placed there to avoid accidents.

This wonderful villa really is as good as it looks in the photos! We had everything we needed for a wonderful family holiday, the villa is super comfortable, spacious, well appointed, and really a little bit special. The pool is just what we needed to cool down and play in. Lots of lovely touches from the hosts to make our stay as easy as possible. Villa Lazy Daze is located in a quiet part of Jolly Harbour, so you really feel like you have escaped from it all. There are restaurants a couple of minutes walk away and a big supermarket about 5 to 10 minutes walk away at Jolly Harbour Marina and the beautiful beach another 5 minutes away. Marcia met us at the villa with a huge smile and a big welcome and answered any questions we had immediately.

Antigua isn’t big on road signs so taxis aren’t always sure how to get to the villa. Turn off Valley Road by The Big Headed Lobster.
