4 Bedroom Villa in Jennings, Darkwood Valley

Calabash is a luxury villa on a grand scale spread over two floors and offering really spacious accommodation for parties of up to 8 guests. There are fabulous views of the surrounding hills to the sides of the villa and a spectacular panoramic vista across the Caribbean to the front.
The upper floor consists of a large living area and fully fitted kitchen; the master bedroom with queen size bed, a french door leading to the veranda, and an en-suite shower room; a further queen size bedroom with veranda access and guest bathroom; and a utility/laundry room. Double doors from the living room lead to a large covered external veranda and wrap round gallery with dining set for 8 and plenty of occasional seating.
There is an external staircase and an internal spiral staircase to the lower floor. Here there is a day room with its own kitchen area, a twin bedroom and a queen size bedroom, both with en-suite shower rooms. The lower floor rooms open on to the large sundeck with swimming pool, plenty of sun loungers, a barbecue and a shower room with WC.
There is private parking for up to 4 cars on the driveway at the rear of the villa.
It should be noted that car hire is strongly recommended for stays at Calabash.
The Palms is a new luxury villa development set on a wooded hillside in a delightful valley location with fabulous panoramic views over Darkwood Beach and the turquoise sea beyond. Darkwood is a very scenic beach, an island favourite and certainly one of the most photographed beaches in the Caribbean. Still unspoilt, with the island of Montserrat in the distance, it has two good local beach bars and restaurants with beds and shade. The location is peaceful and serene, yet is only minutes way from Jolly Harbour and several other bars, restaurants and adjoining beaches.
Jolly Harbour is the largest and finest marina in the Caribbean with superb recreation facilities. A fine 18-hole golf course and a sports centre with tennis courts and a squash court cater for the actively minded, whilst the commercial centre has a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars, and a supermarket to sustain the needs for everyday living. For all its many amenities, Jolly Harbour remains a sophisticated and tranquil setting to while away the holiday hours.
The construction of a villa on an adjacent piece of land commenced in May 2023 and this may cause some disturbance during certain hours of daylight and some loss of total privacy. These works are scheduled to continue until summer 2024.

Summary: We had an amazing stay at this villa! The views were absolutely stunning—sunsets from the terrace were unforgettable. The villa was perfectly set up for our group of 8, with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Communication with the hosts was brilliant throughout, and a special thank you to Jenny who looked after us so well—even thoughtfully texting us to let us know that restaurants wouldn’t be serving alcohol on Good Friday. It’s those little touches that make a big difference! We’re already missing the beautiful beaches, the peaceful poolside days, and those magical sunsets. We’d highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a special getaway!

Summary: Beautiful villa with amazing views and in a lovely part of the island. We loved the big spacious feel of the living room. Air conditioning was also very welcome.All of the bathrooms could do with an upgrade especially the showers, but bedrooms were well appointed with lots of storage & with lovely soft linen. There's plenty of towels provided for pool and beach. Pool area was great and kitchen had everything you needed. We had to change the gas bottle over which might be challenging for some as might the spiral staircase to lower bedrooms. There's access them from outside stairs once you have unlocked the doors.Something to be aware of - the road to the villa is extremely steep and the next-door neighbour has put up a dangerous fence at the bottom which isn't straight but curves inwards and has no reflectors or markers on it making it not visible at all at night time. It significantly damaged our hire car. The pictures on advert show the villa as secluded surrounded by greenery - it doesn't show the two new builds next door, one overlooking the pool area. Unfortunately, the noise proved to be very loud with angle grinding, tile cutting, drilling and concrete mixer constantly going. It really spoilt our stay. This was such a shame as it was lovely and peaceful when the builders were not there.Highly recommend going on the Jabberwocky Boat, Julia's, Dennis's on Ffryes Beach.Cosmore & Brandon the taxi drivers were legends and Antiguan locals warm and welcoming.

Summary: The villa was lovely and close to Darkwood beach. Beautiful views and the pool was clean and great to swim in. Howard was super helpful and Jenny and her son checking in with us to see that we were ok. Overall a great stay The only two things to mention are the road to the villa which you do need an SUV for ideally. Also, the building works which we knew would be going in next door during our stay are noisy, even at the weekends.

Summary: We took a family vacation in July. We had a wonderful time at the Calabash. Jenny was the best! She was available to answer any questions or concerns that we had. There were a few maintenance issues, but Jenny ensured that it was taken care of in a timely manner. The house was beautiful, it was a lot better in person. It was a shock having only a TV in the living area (with 8 people). However, it worked out great! We were able to disconnect from the TV. Something that we thought wouldn't be possible. The water is not drinkable, so you would need to buy bottles of water. Jenny even brought us a big bottle of water on our arrival. The area was great and we never felt that we were not safe. The trip to St. John was a little longer that I anticipated, and the roads made it seem more longer. Before the trip, I was a little nervous about booking on this website (always stayed in a hotel). However, Howard was available to answer all of my questions and walk me through this process that was unfamiliar to me. Our family would definitely visit the Calabash again. Thank you Howard and Jenny for such wonderful accommodation.

Summary: Our family had an excellent stay at Calabash at the Palms! There were 8 of us (6 adults and two children ages 6 yrs & 17 months old).The description is accurate as are the pictures, but it is more beautiful in person. The view is amazing and it is quiet and peaceful. The kitchen is well appointed, we had breakfast every morning and a combination of lunch and dinner at the villa or out at restaurants.There is a BBQ grill available also if you want to grill out. Jenny was wonderful and helpful, and suggested great places to see and dine and Howard is very attentive with anything you need regarding booking etc. Both are very helpful with any questions or concerns you may have while in Antigua. The property is very clean and very well maintained. The pool is delightful or you can take a quick walk/drive down to Darkwood beach which is wonderful. It's very easy to feel at home and not want to leave. There are some great places to eat close by such as Miracles and Dennis', and there is a grocery store nearby with pretty much everything you need.You'll need to get bottled water I will add that you definitely need some mosquito/bug repellent for you stay as they can be pretty pesky when the sun starts to set. Renting this villa and a car is the best way to TRULY experience Antigua. You give yourself the opportunity to do and see things you normally will not if you stay at a resort and get access to more local places such as restaurants, and shops.You can buy local things roadside such as roast corn, ginipps, sweet apples and other wonderful things! Our experience was so great and we are referring all of our friends who want to visit Antigua to Howard.

Summary: From the moment we arrived and we were met by Jenny we knew we were in for a great holiday. The villa contained above and beyond what is needed for the perfect break. Plenty of room, superb views, perfect pool and so much more… and ended on a high as Howard very kindly offered us the use of the villa until we had to leave for the airport later in the afternoon… such a blessing . As a group we offer 3 cheers

Summary: We had an absolutely wonderful time!!! The home is beautiful, and the property manager and owner were very responsive and accommodating. The views and privacy are priceless. The only recommendation is to put padding on the beds which were a little tough to sleep on if staying more than a week. We stayed 10 days and plan to come again....

Summary: We had a wonderful holiday with our family in Calabash. Very large and luxurious Villa with spacious bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms. A well equipped kitchen and large lounge area with dining table and chairs. A large pool with sun loungers and chairs, and wonderful view over Darkwood Beach and surrounding area. Also a great view of the nightly sunsets. Also Gas BBQ with outside table and chairs which got well used. Howard and his management team are friendly and helpful and easy to contact for help and advice. We all had a fantastic time at Calabash xx

Summary: I have recently returned from a 10day stay with my girlfriends in this villa and it lived up to our expectations. The view is amazing! The location is quiet and peaceful. Darkwood beach is within walking distance and is beautiful. Both Howard and Jenny were very responsive though-out. The road up to the villa does require a SUV. I would definitely revisit this villa

Summary: Calabash was a beautiful escape with everything you could possibly need. The house is roomy, gorgeous and fit our party of 8 perfectly! The views are breathtaking and surreal. The house was clean and well stocked with all the amenities you could possibly need. Jennie was super informative and helpful and Howard had a grill issue fixed within hours. I would highly recommend this paradise on your next trip to Antigua! We will definitely be back!
