What a beautiful place! Well stocked and comfortable with amazing views! The housekeeper was so fun (we met her due to some slight miscommunication) but she took excellent care of everything and really made us smile. We were also visited by a little wild kitten who was literally eating out of our hands before we left. Overall one of our best vacations yet!

Dear Dennis I am pleased you had a great stay and enjoyed the villa. Unfortunately your visit was during carnival and the island goes a little mad and they do like their music! Should be back to normal now. However I hope you manage to see some of the carnival itself. Nigel

Fantastic family villa

We had a great stay at Nicobar. For our extended family group with a baby it made an excellent base on Antigua. The view is always fabulous and the pool and outside areas where we spent all our time were very comfortable. There are some walkable beaches and Deep Bay was a quick drive. We were well looked after with three cleans during the week and the property owner is responsive. A great stay and good value.

Fantastic villa and a great holiday

"We enjoyed a wonderful week at Villa Nicobar with its spectacular views over Deep Bay and luxurious accommodation. The living space and outside terrace/pool would give most 5 star hotels a run for their money and it is ideally located with easy access to St Johns and the rest of the island. Merle the housekeeper was really helpful and made our stay extra special. Our only complaint was that a week wasn't really enough!" Richard & Family April 2014

Beautiful views!

The views from the veranda are breathtakingly beautiful! We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and found the layout of the house to be very comfortable for our group. It was a nice stay. The only recommendation is that the overall description of the property is outdated and contains some information that is no longer accurate (for instance, the fruit garden that no longer exists).

Hi Lori I am delighted you had a great vacation. In the garden we still have sugar apple,mango,pink grapefruit,orange and lime. It is however not the season for fruiting. Sadly the bananas were lost due to no rain but will replant in the summer. Kind regards Nigel

Fabulous villa with stunning view and well appointed

We stayed over Christmas with our family and enjoyed the home. It was incredibly spacious and comfortable, excellent outdoor lounging area, well appointed kitchen and baths, comfortable beds. The pool and hot tub were good. The housekeeper was very helpful and responsive as we needed things (the hot tub kept cooling off), but she got someone to the house to fix it.

Our 'Leftover Antigua' Trip

Overall our group was very happy with our stay. The location and views are stunning from this house. Our host Merle was extremely helpful around the house. There were several things that need to be updated and maintained but these were small things that did not take away our overall impression of this property. As a group we all agreed that if things work out in the near future we would love to stay here again!!

Location, location, location!

Very nice house. Well appointed. Beautiful view! Lovely staff. When the sanitary landfill was burning garbage (nightly when we were there) and the wind is from the right direction, the haze and odor of smoke is overwhelming. Even with a car be prepared for at least a 20-30 minute drive to the grocery store, restaurants, and many beaches and activities.

Loved this villa

The views from this property never get old! The house was immaculate, thanks to the lovely Merle, the housekeeper, and suited the needs of my husband and I and four adult children perfectly. We most appreciated the large outdoor living space, much of which is covered and gave us shelter from the numerous, but quick, showers that came through each day. The pool and jacuzzi were lovely. Although we took day trips to explore some of the island, we all felt as though we could have spent all our time at the villa and been perfectly content.

Fabulous New Year stay

Nicobar is a beautiful villa with stunning views, absolutely perfect for a very chilled family holiday with teenagers. Easy walk down through the Galley Bay estate to a very quiet resort beach (Galley Bay). Views are not done justice by photos, and setting on the hillside meant that there was a cooling breeze even at the hottest part of the day. Amazing services provided by the infamous Merle, who welcomed us like family. All amenities provided within the villa were as described, exceptionally clean and in good working order. Very helpful and friendly communications with owner prior to our trip. Would recommend highly.

Villa Nicobar - absolutely STUNNING

Cannot recommend Villa Nicobar enough. Antigua is just paradise but to stay there in Nigel’s villa was heaven. Our housekeeper Janell was so kind and considerate, our taxi driver Brenda helped us immeasurably and my lovely Haidresser TerryAnne ensured my hair stayed braided (and it still is 3 weeks later in the UK). The Villa, the pool, the jacuzzi, Shirley Heights, Sheer Rock, the city, the people - take me back to Antigua please. Thanks Nigel. One love - Dell & Judith

Stunning villa, amazing views

We stayed at Villa Nicobar for 11 nights and had the most amazing holiday. We've been to the island a few times before and wanted to explore a different part of the island. Nothing is too far away in Antigua when you have a car though. Villa was beautiful, great welcome, car was there when we arrived (id highly advise to use tropical cars and get it dropped off at the villa). The villa may need a bit of updating but generally its great and if any issues, Michael is on hand to fix or help. Deep Bay beach may be the best beach on the island in my view and is only 5 mins away in the car, its the beach you can see in the pictures. All round great villa and Nigel was always on hand to answer emails etc. Id highly recommend and I'm sure we'll be back.

Wonderful experience, world class views

Just returned last night from a week at Villa Nicobar. To begin, working with Nigel was an effortless experience and I would recommend his home to anyone looking. The views are exactly as the photos show, we spent much time in the pool or on the expansive deck watching the cruise ships and sailboats coming and going. The home was very clean and Merle the caretaker was quite helpful. She supplied us with a few groceries before we arrived and helped us arrange a chef for one evening. Our group was three couples and each had a large bedroom with en-suite bath and patio doors leading out to the pool deck.Wonderful time, I would highly recommend.

An incredible villa with stunning views. An amazing holiday and throughly recommended

When seeing the pictures and reading the reviews the reality is often different. I can only say the view and villa is even more beautiful in reality. We spent several days exploring the local beaches and lounging by the pool in the afternoon. The deck is huge and there is a 6 burner Webber perfect for BBQ outside. The bedrooms are all spacious. Merle the housekeeper is a gem. She looked after us and made us feel very welcome. The villa is really well located close to St Johns and everything is a short drive away. Have stayed in Jolly Harbour before we much prefere the view and not getting eaten to death by mosquitoes! Overall a fantastic vacation.

Photos cannot capture the beauty of the views from this villa

Villa Nicobar is amazing. It is a beautiful villa in an absolutely idyllic setting. We all tried to take photos of the beauty of the views and it simply can't be done. It is incredible. The villa itself is spacious and tasteful - the living/dining area is open plan and big. Lots of room for everyone. The outdoor terrace is also large - half of it is shaded from the sun and the pool half is in the sun. Just perfect. There is an easy walk down to a local private beach and a short drive to the beautiful beach which can be seen from the terrace. The bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable and stylish - and the kitchen has all you need for catering. We all just loved our stay at Villa Nicobar.
