Family Reunion in Antiguan Splendor

We housed a family reunion at Yellow House among three brothers and wives, two couples from Wales and one cruising sailors hailing from Newport RI. Everything about this well equipped house exceeded expectations. The views, airy breezes, exquisite plantings and well appointed and expansive lay out made our time here delightful. Private and public spaces flow well. We had plenty of privacy, but when sought, we enjoyed the friendly atmosphere of this beautiful Turtle Bay neighborhood. Yellow House was paradise for us.

perfect

My husband and I have stayed in villas on a dozen different islands and the Yellow House ranks right up there with the best. It is clean and incredibly well stocked with every gadget and tool that you might need. The patio area and pool are beautiful and the view is gorgeous. Cooling trade winds meant that we were never uncomfortably warm and kept the mozzies & "noseeums" at bay. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. We look forward to visiting again with family in the high season. Thank you Tina!

Fabulous Stay in Antigua!

This house is wonderful: the house's location in the English Harbour area is ideal for so many great excursions: Shirley Heights Lookout (and the Sunday night party), Nelson's Dockyard, hike to Rendezvous Beach, etc. The pool deck is so well designed and we really enjoyed just chilling by the pool. The grounds are verdant and diverse. The house amenities were thoughtfully considered and perfect for our family of two seniors, two adults and two young teenagers. The house is also fantastic value and Tina, the owner, lives in the cottage right below the house which is so helpful when you have questions or if you run into any problems while on the island (though we did not). Highly recommended!

We would highly recommend anyone staying here it is great for large groups as there are many places to sit and eat, a gorgeous pool. Tony the housekeeper went out of his way to make us welcome a wonderful host. We were sorry not to meet the owner Tina in person as she was so friendly in all her communications. We would all highly recommend this to future guests.

Absolutely an amazing experience

We arrived in Antigua in the late afternoon and were floored by the view as soon as we stepped into the villa. Everything only got better from there. The villa itself is spectacular and welcoming. The island is filled with the nicest of people and amazing sights, beaches, and views. The food was always good and plenty of refreshing fresh fruits and produce. I cannot say enough about Tina's hospitality and her property. I wish I could keep it a secret, but its just too perfect to not share. We will definitely revisit Antigua and Tina again!

beautifully & tastefully presented, very spacious and stunning views

A beautifully presented property, tastefully decorated with stunning views. Wonderful 180 degree view of Falmouth bay and the surrounding hills. With the addition of further views out east to the Caribbean sea. The photos don’t do it justice, feels very spacious and every home comfort you could imagine. The area is slightly off the beaten track which makes it very quiet and peaceful whilst still only being 10 minutes to English harbour and the lovely pigeon beach. We slept in the lovely master suite which was a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back. Overall fantastic experience and lovely memories. Thank you Tina

Yellow House for Antigua Race Week

Beautiful house with wonderful views of Falmouth Harbour. Great patio and plunge pool from which to watch boats going in and out of the harbor or birds flying overhead. The gas grill was super convenient. We absolutely loved that the house was well stocked with conveniences- towels, linens, kitchenware, hair dryers, etc. It was fun to cook and relax because those things were taken care of! Quick (but a bit bumpy from the road) drive to Falmouth and English Harbor. The only problem we encountered was having to constantly battle the invasive ants. But overall, we'd stay at this property again in a heartbeat.
Response from VrboOwner on 2 April 2020
I do hope that you will return to us for race week again .........very unfortunate that we had the issues with sugar ants , I had sprayed prior to your arrival , understand that i wasn't the only one enduring this issue & hear it was due to lack of rain & dryness everywhere . Happy to hear that you found the house to be well equipped with all you required for your stay . I don't think the pool should be called a "plunge " pool , measuring 12ft x 24 ft ! But do agree it is a fantastic place to watch the yachts sail in & the pelicans flying by :)

Exceptional Caribbean Villa With 180 Degree Ocean/Harbor Views and Balmy Breezes

Our very recent stay at 'The Yellow House", in Antigua was without a doubt our best family vacation. The villa was spacious, immaculately clean and besides the view which was next to spectacular, we were so pleased to find a very large open and well equipped kitchen. Tina is very warm and detail oriented. She made us feel welcomed and relaxed by arranging our airport transport, helping us secure local fresh Mahi Mahi and advising us on the best beaches and food markets. Our family of 5 adults had plenty of space to pursue individual activities or gather around the pool to soak up the Antiqua sunshine. We spent treasured moments cooking our nightly gourmet meals and enjoying them under the open air veranda. We have only been home a week but are planning our return trip to "the Yellow House", cause our only regret was that we had to leave.

Yellow House in Antigua

My husband, son and I spent 2 wonderful weeks at the Yellow House in Falmouth Harbour this past August. The location of the house is terrific with wonderful panoramic views across the harbour and out to sea. It also benefited from a wonderful see breeze. The accommodations itself were lovely--really nicely outfitted kitchen with all the elements you need and multiple areas to relax inside and out. The pool was a huge hit as well and benefited from both the breeze and the views. We visited many of the beaches and areas in Antigua in our time there as most places were 20-30mins drive. Although our favorite beach was one visible from the house. Overall, we found the Falmouth Harbour area the perfect mix of tourist and local. Lastly, the owner (although not on site) was extraordinarily helpful with any questions and had someone on hand who could track things down if needed. One of our best holidays and we definitely didn't want to leave!

The best!

My wife and I just spent 10 incredible days at the Yellow House. It was our first trip to Antigua and we had no frame of reference other than the photos and reviews. Neither the photos nor the reviews do justice to the property or Tina, the property owner. Tina had taken care of every detail for us. She had a taxi driver meet us at the airport. He stopped so we could shop. The rental jeep she had lined up for us was waiting at the house. The house and pool are outstanding. The view over the harbor is amazing. The location at Falmouth Harbor was perfect for us. There are small grocery stores just minutes away and they are well stocked with beer and liquor. We traveled around the island a bit and will choose the Yellow House when we return. We were lucky to be in Antigua in the off season and got to spend some time with Tina (and her pup Minnie) who are delightful. She was always available by the local cell phone (which she provided free of charge as well!) Simply put this is an amazing property and everything runs so smooth it will be one of the most relaxing vacations ever. Thanks again Tina!

Family get together - Just the ticket!

To celebrate a big birthday we decided to go to Antigua and invite all the family to come. For that idea to be a success, we needed a venue which could cope with all of us and the Yellow House did just that and more! It is a fantastic place where everyone was able to relax and, with all the different places to hang out around the villa, the garden and the pool area, we never felt on top of each other and, could if desired, have yourself some quiet time. The views are fantastic and many an hour was spent watching the boats come and go in Falmouth and English Harbours. We found that a car is definitely a must as the villa is a little off the beaten track and I do mean a beaten track although you soon get used to the bumps etc. and it lends to the charm of the area. Also a car enabled us to go and try restaurants (not so local) and visit the markets and some of the fantastic beaches (there are 365 to choose from) - nothing is too far away. The villa has everything you would ever need - a real home from home - except this home has a gorgeous pool , fantastic views, an abundance of terraces and even a hammock where you can lie back and forget everything. What more could you ask for on a holiday? Tina was helpful and friendly from start to finish and always available to give us advice. We would certainly recommend this villa and hope to return again one day!

Stop searching The Yellow house is the one!

We stayed in the yellow house for a month over summer ....classed as the quiet season it is a perfect way to live and relax in a beautiful home. Tina is such a warm and lovely hostess, nothing is too much trouble and the house is kept to a fine standard of cleanliness, homely furnishings, comfy beds and sea views you will never get bored of! Tina is there when you need her but left us to our holiday and days with no interruptions. The house is large, airy and clean with new bathrooms and a kitchen with all the pots/pans etc you will need for entertaining. Dinners out on the patio each evening, full gas BBQ and drinks never got boring! The pool and gardens are well maintained and plenty of space for the kids to enjoy the outdoor space or find a quiet spot in a hammock and read or sleep (loads of books to read there too). The house sits on outcrop opposite the harbour so the sea breezes keep the temperatures indoors manageable and the aircon helps for a quick blast at night. A car is a must here and the freedom that gives is also the best way to explore the island. English harbour and Falmouth have some great bars and restaurants and like I said this was the quiet season but we found enough nightlife and places open to enjoy a great balance of eating in or out. The pool and gardens are well maintained and plenty of space for the kids to enjoy the outdoor space or find a quiet spot in a hammock and read or sleep. The house sits on outcrop opposite the harbour so the sea breezes keep the temperatures indoors manageable and the aircon helps for a quick blast at night. English harbour is a great base for a holiday we felt with lots of local amenities, the drive to St Johns, Jolly harbour, or the opposite coast were never too long either to explore beaches, tax free shopping or finding the larger supermarkets. Darkwood beach has a great inflatables 'splash park' set in the sea for kids, my two age 12&14 loved it. Jolly beach & castaways beachbar do great food, FFryes and Little Ffryes are both great beaches - postcard perfect! Dickenson and CoCo beach bar are lovely. We swam with turtles and rays whilst snorkelling at Galleon beach looking for the shipwrecks (best for snorkelling by far!). Would I recommend it to a friend .....absolutely!! Would I book Yellow House again?.....already working on it!

Incredible House with GREAT Harbor views

My husband and I spent 10 days at the yellow house. The high ceilings, traditional Caribbean architecture, wonderful breeze, cook's kitchen and a/c in the bedrooms were just the start of our exceptional stay. Clearly, Tina (the owner) puts great care and thought into the details when making sure her guests are well cared for during their stay. She was a caring hostess and very helpful without being the least bit intrusive. The house was clean and well maintained. While the pictures gave us an idea of what to expect we thought the house was so much more than what they were able to capture. The kitchen was well stocked and the grocery/liquor stores were not far from the house. While we didn't spend much time there, the living room was a nice size with a big couch and cable television. WiFi was also available, although it does not work everywhere in the house - it was perfect for what we needed (streaming music was no problem). The bedrooms - very comfortable beds and the a/c ran nice and cool if we wanted it. Sheets were good quality too. Plenty of closet space and hangers as well as dressers and drawers. The safe in the master was also a nice touch. The bathrooms - roomy showers, and the tub in the master was so comfortable. The towels were nice quality. The outdoor living area - We spent so much time here!! It is wonderful! Comfortable sitting on the couches, laying in the hammock, or lounging in/by the pool. All with a fantastic view of the harbor and ocean. Watching sailboats during the day and listening to lizards and frogs at night with a million stars in the sky -- awesome!! Many additional amenities were provided such as 2 beach chairs, lots of beach towels, beach umbrella, small cooler, washer (no dryer, but air drying works great). One down side to the island itself is the lack of signage on the roads, which made the map provided useless. We found a GREAT app for android or apple that works offline once you download it - its call Map.me Pro. I can not express the difference maker this was for us. The Pro version gives you a pointer that lets you know where you are all the time (again you are offline so it does not use date once you download it). Only other negative was what we called the lumpy, bumpy road getting to the yellow house. It takes about 10 minutes to get down once you leave the main road. You will weave around pot holes and such but the great thing is you end up at a beautiful home!! Thank you, Tina!!!

A perfect place to stay

As others have said, the photos don't do this house justice. We have stayed in many holiday houses but none as well equipped as this one. How often do you have to wash up because you've used the 4 plates and 4 glasses? Or run out to the shops as there is half a loo roll left by the last guest? There's none of that here. Everything from dishwasher soap and candles to beach towels and plug adapters is provided. If people mention the kitchen blender it's because it is a Marcus Wareing professional blender - an absolute joy to whip up cocktails or smoothies, crushing ice in seconds, That's after you've used the snazzy milk frother and chosen either the cafetiere or percolator for coffee. The cooker is a very sturdy gas range but there's a also a great gas BBQ (with gas) mini oven...I could go on. Suffice to say that if you like cooking, self catering here is a treat. Perhaps best of all for me as a sufferer of chronic back problems was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on, including my own. The master bedroom is simply gorgeous and very romantic. The others are very spacious too and all have their own bathroom - all modern, tasteful and immaculate - what a treat that no one has to share! As others have said, views are wonderful, the outdoor living space is superb (hammocks, cushions for the loungers etc etc...sigh) and the neighbourhood felt very safe. You can walk to the sea but it was tricky to get in on the windy days. Far better is a 15-minute drive to Galleon which we loved - beautiful bay, fantastic snorkelling (rays and turtles just off shore and a longer swim to the reef pays dividends). A car is essential but we found the location ideal - quiet, safe and other parts of the island are easily reached. We were happy to spend 5 mins in the car for lovely hilltop breezes and stunning views. Very impressive service too - Tina realised there was a problem with the pool before we did one morning (she lives close by but is only there if you need her). The pool man was over within an hour sorting everything out. The same was true of Rasheed whom Tina recommended for car hire - a small problem with the car was fixed as soon as we reported it.Tina has a background in concierge services for the yachting community and it shows - she understands that investing in making the stay very comfortable makes for very happy guests. We had one problem - and that was leaving when we didn't feel ready! Thank you for being so generous Tina. Highly recommend.

Amazing house

Tina gave us a warm welcome and showed us around. The house is beautifully and tastefully decorated and has a great view over Falmouth Harbour. The rooms and bathrooms are great while the outdoor space is large with lots of options for sun or shade, sitting or lounging etc. While the pictures are great, for once the house actually exceeded our expectations! We can highly recommend the Yellow House.
