ADMIRALTY HOUSE, Turtle Bay - Please message prior to booking to confirm rates and availability.
Position:
This happy ocean-front villa, built in the Caribbean colonial style, is situated right on the edge of the sea in Turtle Bay, on the southern coast of the island of Antigua. It offers unparalleled and uninterrupted views across gentle waves to the island of Montserrat and has been positioned to make the most of every evening’s glorious sunset and the spectacular Caribbean skies. Turtle Bay is a quiet location off the beaten track with only the sound of waves to lull you to sleep. If you are looking for a respite surrounded by nature at its most beautiful, just sit back and enjoy the pool and the view over the sea. For a bit more buzz, a 10 minute drive will get you to Falmouth and English Harbours with their bustling marinas, restaurants, bars, and nightlife. Quite rightly, all of Antigua’s beaches are open to the public, but this can mean that houses on sandy beaches suffer from a lack of privacy. Turtle Bay was particularly chosen as the location for this home as it has one of the most extraordinary coral reefs in the Caribbean to snorkel over just below the house, whilst the pebbly shore means that your privacy will be maintained. Meanwhile there is a ‘secret’ small sandy beach just 150 yards away. In English Harbour are 2 amazing beaches, galleon and Pigeon. The spectacular Rendezvous Trail starts close by and leads into the next bay’s beautiful and undeveloped beach, considered to be one of the loveliest in the Caribbean. Scuba-diving, sailing, tennis, squash, turtle-watching are all available nearby whilst a Horse riding club is 5 mins drive away if you’d like to join them to swim with the ponies! For the historians and walkers, you are in a perfect situation to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the rainforest with tree-top zip wires, and endless trails are 20 mins in the other direction. During the summer Admiralty House provides the perfect haven after a day at Carnival, while in the winter and spring it is a great spot for families or captains and crew to base themselves, and/or spectators to watch the world's most spectacular boats sail by, during Antigua’s famous sailing races.
