The Antigua region


Located in the Leeward Islands of the West Indies, Antigua offers a beautiful island location with 365 palm-fringed beaches. The year round average temperature ranges from 25-32C and cooling trade winds and calm waters create the ideal setting for sheer relaxation and an endless choice of water sports. If you are able to drag yourself away from the beach, experiencing some of Antigua's other attractions is well worth the effort.
Enjoy a stroll through the lovely English Harbour brimming with stylish yachts to Nelsons Dockyard. This former colonial naval base was visited by Lord Nelson in the 18th Century and today boasts beautifully restored colonial buildings. A highlight of any holiday to Antigua is visiting Shirley Heights at sunset; upon reaching the summit, you are rewarded with incredible island views against a backdrop of a true Caribbean sunset. Antigua's pristine beaches, laid back atmosphere and charming culture offer the perfect location for a villa holiday.
The Long Bay area
Brightside villa is set in a beautiful part of the island enjoying National Park surroundings with rolling hills and lush vegetation and within a leisurely stroll or bike ride from Devil's Bridge, one of Antigua's most beautiful eco-tourism destinations. The villa is also a few minutes walk from Long Bay, one of Antigua's most beautiful beaches protected by a reef and providing excellent swimming and snorkelling.

Review Submitted November 2, 2011 Date of Stay July 28, 2011 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brightside. The property was just as advertised on the website which is a real plus as you can never be sure!

Review Submitted July 30, 2011 Date of Stay July 22, 2011 I have just spent the most amazing week at Brightside Villa with my family. If you are looking for a peaceful vacation in a very comfortable villa, I would thoroughly recommend Brightside. It is extremely well-equipped with four huge bedrooms, three bathrooms and a very spacious open plan living/kitchen area making it ideal for two families or a large group of friends. The pool is delightful and well maintained. This villa is luxurious without being ostentatious and very safe for young children as the terrace is completely fenced where children can play safely away from the pool. There is a stunning beach within a ten minute walk where there are two great restaurants. The Verandah Hotel and Spa is also just a few minutes walk along the road where you can enjoy several facilities including tennis, volley ball, mini golf and two further beaches at no extra cost. I would recommend hiring a car for a few days to explore Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbour, Shirley Heights to watch the sunset and the charming capital, St. Johns to name just a few delightful places on this beautiful island. We have all had a wonderful vacation and hope to return in the future to this wonderful villa on such a pretty island. Rating:

Review Submitted August 4, 2011 Date of Stay July 10, 2011 By any standards Brightside is a stunning villa. It is beautifully decorated and everything is finished to a very high standard. The view from the master bedroom will take your breath away. The pool was clean and perfectly positioned with plenty of sunbeds and other seating. The shady verandah area complete with air conditioning - perfect for outdoor dining. The kitchen is very spacious with everything you need, ideal for larger families/groups of friends. With the Verandah Hotel just 7 minutes walk from the villa we had access to all the facilities we could possibly need including the volleyball court, beach, pool and tennis courts. The villa is also ideally located within short taxi distance of tourist destinations and resturants such as Shirley Heights where we enjoyed the caribbean spirit with spectacular views of English Harbour and St John's, the capital, for a little retail therapy. Would reccomend this property to all my friends and relatives. Would suit small families or large groups of friends as there is plenty for everyone to do within walking distance or by short taxi. Overall, a really great holiday with everything to hand and a villa with loads of space, amazing weather and perfect location. What more could you want?! Rating:

Exceeded all expectations Scott S Guildford, England
Review Submitted July 31, 2011 Date of Stay July 9, 2011 My family stayed here in July 2011. The villa was tastefully decorated and much bigger than we expected, the pool was amazing and the general quality exceeded our expectations massively. It is in a secluded area meaning it was quieter than the general hub of the hotel. But with the Verandah Hotel (a very nice 4 star hotel) only a short walk from the house, 2 beaches including the beautiful Long Bay in very close proximity there was never a boring moment. I urge any future users to take advantage of the free use of facilities at the verandah hotel, in particular the tennis courts, volleyball courts and new crazy golf course close to Brightside Villa. There is an adjustable high quality basket ball net (with makeshift court) and of course the swimming pool that is on the private property as well, meaning that there is never a dull moment for those (like me) interested in different sports. It was a great holiday and combined relaxation with action to a perfect degree. My family and I thouroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly be coming back! Rating:

Review Submitted August 2, 2011 Date of Stay July 9, 2011 One of the best experiences of my life! The Villa was beautiful, great views and an amazing location to be so close to the Verandah and Long Bay. Was so comfortable and the whole family felt at home. Very modern, spacious and the pool was incredible, with everything maintained and kept so clean. Had so much to do from volleyball and kayaking, to going to St Johns Harbour with boat trips around Antigua. A trip to Shirley Heights is highly recommended. I cannot thank you enough for the most wonderful holiday. Thank you so much for the experience and i will definitely be coming again. Rating:
