*WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS!! AntiguaBella PASSED government COVID-19 inspections. All protocols are in place to help keep you safe.

*FOLLOWING CDC DISINFECTING GUIDELINES*

YOU CAN'T PASS UP THESE DEALS! THEY WON'T LAST LONG.
*PARADISE AWAITS YOU AT ANTIGUABELLA. *
*IF you want three MORE bedrooms, book our sister villa AntiguaSoleil. vrbo #1310424*

The spectacular, panoramic views of the tranquil Caribbean Sea will take your breath away! This luxurious, spa-like, gated 3 bedroom home is perched on the famous Sleeping Indian Mountain overlooking Jolly Harbour Marina and multiple islands including the volcanic island of Montserrat. The view is an artistic masterpiece.

AntiguaBella is one of two villas on the same property, however both are very private, have separate outdoor areas to enjoy, plus their own outdoor grills, outdoor dining table, lounge chairs and seating.

Upon entry, your eyes will be drawn to the turquoise, iridescent sea water and large, pristine swimming pool through the glass living room doors. AntiguaBella features upscale, elegant furnishings with seamless indoor/outdoor living. The refined architecture is sleek and stunning and the clean-lined, upscale fusion of British Colonial Caribbean and Modern furnishings keeps the focus of the picturesque sea views. Tuxedo style sofa, plantation chairs, low accent tables and polished floors are understated yet inviting in the living room, while the dining room adds a bit of glam with a rustic yet sophisticated wood scrapped, extendable dining table, with expertly carved legs. The high, vaulted plank ceilings and wood carved fans throughout the villa are crafted with fine detail. For added comfort, each room has individual climate control AC, however it’s rarely needed due to the trade winds.

Three exquisite, spacious bedrooms can accommodate up to seven guests at this non-smoking home. The En-Suite Master Bedroom features an imported, King canopy bed with pineapple carvings and walks out to its own private, covered terrace with sitting area overlooking the sea. The architectural detail will entice you to linger in this private oasis, reminding you you’re in tropical bliss. From the terrace, a short path leads you to a fruit garden. Indulge in fruits such as mangoes, bananas, papayas, limes, guava and soursop to name a few. Keep in mind, some fruits may not be in season during your stay.

AntiguaBella was thoughtfully designed by a European/Antiguan architect to encompass quality and an island flare. Inside, solid wood doors and outside, West Indian solid wood shutters outline each door and window. Equally impressive are the modern and fastidious interiors. Every window frames the tantalizing views. The villa is equipped to the highest standards with Wi-Fi, flat screen Smart TV’s and HDMI’s, and Alexa. No detail is spared in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen with a European convection and conventional oven and breakfast bar.

Start off your Antiguan mornings sipping on freshly ground and brewed coffee under the pergola. Get captivated and mesmerized by the sea, mountains and multi-million dollar yachts anchored below. Or, lounge on the luxurious Sunbrella fabric furniture and loungers by the inviting swimming pool that's exclusively yours, if AntiguaSoleil is not booked. Exhale and sip on a margarita made from fresh mangoes handpicked from the garden. The options are endless at AntiguaBella. Pamper yourself and have our chef grill a succulent meal of your choice and enjoy the sunset and dinner at the teak dining table. Don't forget to reserve our masseuse under the gazebo and a custom boat excursion on our vessel AntiguaBella. Includes water sports and unlimited drinks.

The other two professionally decorated bedrooms provide a flawless, yet restful ambiance. Sheer relaxation will engulf you on the queen size beds. One room features canopy bed with netting. Both have individual climate control AC and wood carved ceiling fans.

Antigua has 365 beaches, a beach for every day. Ideally located, the pristine beach of famed Hermitage Bay is a short 10 min. walk. Beach chairs, towels and cooler provided.

For the active and adventurous, we provide a two-man kayak (one is inflatable in a backpack for convenience,) snorkeling gear and bikes. Climb Sleeping Indian Mountain. Rock climbers from around the world accept the challenge. There’s a path above AntiguaBella for those less adventurous.

At night, the lights from boats in the marina & sea sparkle. AntiguaBella is also perfect for boaters. AntiguaBella overlooks Jolly Harbour Marina.

Whether you’re seeking a vacation for family or friends or a special place to hold an event, AntiguaBella provides the perfect venue, offering luxury accommodation in a truly striking setting. Note: If sister villa AntiguaSoleil is rented, the pool will be shared. Again, the villas are secluded. Private outdoor living spaces and own gourmet gas grills.

110 & 220 voltage outlets.

The vacation of a lifetime awaits you at AntiguaBella! Make your dream vacation a reality.

Wonderful Stay

Fabulous house, wonderful amenities. House is nicely furnished; it has a fully provisioned kitchen with every kitchen tool and appliance you'd need, lots of outdoor seating, beach towels, really nice beach chairs and more! The a/c worked perfectly, had a fancy BBQ grill, and there were speakers around the house to play music. We also chartered the AntiguaBella boat and had a amazing day out on the water snorkeling, wake boarding, tubing and visiting gorgeous deserted beaches and bays. A perfect visit all around!

A spacious 3 bedroom apartment with great water views and convenient by car to all west coast destinations/beaches. Guests should know: (1) there is no dishwasher, (2) there is a clothes washer but no dryer (there is a clothes line on the deck), (3) contrary to VRBO advertising, it is not a private villa but one of 3 apartments in a larger building (including one used by owner's son).

Worth 10 stars!

I can't rave enough about this property! It was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The communication with the owner was perfect as well as the property manager, Keeflin. Both were very attentive to our needs and wants. Keeflin greeted us when we checked in with some snacks, Coke, and water. (Also, a mixed drink, but we aren't alcohol drinkers.) The villa has an amazing view of Jolly Harbor and is a perfect place to view Antigua's gorgeous sunsets! The villa is situated away from other homes so it's very quiet and private. The property comes with beach chairs and an umbrella (that we used every day) as well as kayaks and bikes. Unfortunately, we had no way to transport the kayaks and the roads aren't very safe for the bikes. The pool and lounge chairs are wonderful for any time of the day. The beds are very comfortable and come with plenty of bedding. You can also hear the rain on the roof when the skies open up. It was a great way to greet the mornings. My only complaint is the driveway as the lower half is loose gravel and rock with some very big bumps. Our little rental car barely made it up the hill each day. I hope there is some paving in its future, or at least some grading. I highly recommend staying here as it will enhance your visit to Antigua.

A wonderful vacation in your own gorgeous slice of Antigua

Each time we leave Antigua we always find ourselves making plans for the next time we come back. Over the last 10 years we've run the gamut of accommodations options on the island. This was out 4th visit and we now came with two small children (2.5 and 4.5) in tow. Antigabella exceeded our expectations. Despite the extensive directions given before our arrival, we still had a bit of difficulty finding the house the first time. We later realized this was a consequence of what we loved most about it - it is secluded, quiet, and just about on Pearns point commanding a beautiful hillside view of Jolly Harbor. We were greeted by Ms. Kiflin, who was kind and wonderful and didn't spare an ounce of attention to help us settle in, or subsequently when we sought her out for help. The kitchen had all the tools I'd need to make whatever we tried (I enjoy cooking quite a bit) and we were very close to various shopping options (be it in Jolly Harbour - slightly pricey, or down in St. Johns). Each child got their own room and the accommodations were themselves wonderful and tidy. If there was a beach toy or accessory you needed, chances are they had it. I loved using the snorkeling gear when we would trek out to the beaches across the island. The homeowners were also very responsive whenever we had questions and my wife and I really appreciated the kindness. We love Antiguabella and we hope that when we return to Antigua, soon hopefully, we'll have the opportunity to stay here again.

Absolutely Fantastic Villa on Every Level

We have traveled to many islands and rented several different properties for vacation and this one tops the list. Beautiful location, Million dollar views, Very nicely decorated, Beautiful fruit gardens, High tech TV and Audio, lots of extras like bikes, kayaks, beach chairs, and umbrella, boogie boards. The owners are very friendly and I think it is great to have them on site incase we needed anything or had questions. I will note that I felt completely private staying at the Villa and rarely even saw the owner. We rented a Pick up for the trip which was perfect because we like to drive around and explore the islands and find places without any crowds. I picked a truck (more rugged than a car) so you can get around easily and also manage the roads on the island, which can be bump depending on where you go. I would recommend this villa to anyone traveling to Antigua.

Above it all!

AntiguaBella was above and beyond our expectations! We loved the views and outdoor living even finding it hard to leave for day trips, snorkeling or dinners out. So sometimes we just stayed put and enjoyed the pool and the trade winds and the view. The Tazwell’s were welcoming and helpful. They are wonderful hosts and have thought of everything. AntiguaBella was clean, stylish and comfortable. Two recommendations: 1. If you rent a car, get a vehicle with high clearance like a Jeep or SUV. 2. Ask Thomas for the google maps link and use that to find the villa the first time. AntiguaBella is the perfect spot to relax and get away from crowds ... to feel above it all. We loved it.

Beautiful sunsets from this lovely hillside villa

Our family of four, including two teenage boys, loved our trip to Antigua. The villa is so comfortable and well-equipped, with tons of space to spread out, both inside and out. There was a very nice family of six staying in the adjacent villa, but it still felt very private and quiet. Keeflin greeted us with the keys, a fruit platter and delicious rum drinks. Jason, the pool guy, picked fresh limes and mangoes for us from the fruit trees in the garden. The beach at Hermitage Bay is walking distance, there was hardly anyone on the beach and shade can be found if it gets too hot. We used the inflatable kayak there, which was fun for all. We also did day trips to English Harbor (Nelson's Dockyards should not be missed!) and Half Moon Bay (beautiful!), a snorkeling trip at Galleon Beach with Bernie of Snorkling Antigua (wow!), and spent a day at Darkwood Beach (good food and drink in the beach bar, umbrellas and chairs for rent.) We had a couple of delicious meals in Jolly Harbor - I recommend both Basilico and Akropolis. The rest of our dinners we made at the villa - cocktails with the sunsets and dinner on the patio, can't beat that! - the Epicurean supermarket in Jolly Harbor is terrific. You really need to rent a car if you are staying here, and should be aware that the roads on this side of the island are narrow and a bit tricky to navigate.

The villa felt like home, everything being well thought for our comfort. We cooked every evening meal at home and spent such a good time on the terrace at night. The beds are so comfy!!!! The villa is close to the grocery store, marina, nice beaches. We would come back anytime to this little peace of paradise. Thank you for sharing! Sharing is caring!

Marvellous Vacation Location

Antigua Bella met and in most categories exceeded all of our expectations. The view from the villa is spectacular. Renting a vehicle was definitely advantageous. The location is within a short (5 -10 min.) drive to Jolly Harbour where there are several restaurants/bars. I highly recommend dining at Basilico. There are also several outstanding beaches within a 30 minute drive. The property was very clean and well maintained. The owner/manager was very quick responding and addressing our enquiries. The only minor and I emphasize minor issue was the low water pressure... that is not a complaint only an observation. All in all I would rate Antigua Bella 4.9 out of 5. I certainly recommend visiting Antigua and staying at Antigua Bella.

Beautiful view and very quiet place. Lots of relaxation was possible.

We had a great time in this wonderful location. Villa has just about everything you would want. Spent some time at beaches and one that was just down the road was our favorite quiet beach. Glad to have cooler and beach chairs available at Villa. It was great to have a wash machine to do a few clothes and then hang them dry in the tropical air. It was windy the two weeks we were there so the pool was cold and we could not swim at night due to the temperature. Great little piece of Paradise!

Perfect Vacation Villa in Antigua!

AntiguaBella is the perfect place to stay in Antigua. It is located conveniently to many of the southwestern beaches on the island, which we thought were some of the best. It is also very close to Jolly Harbour, which is a great beach area with restaurants and a grocery store. The house was exactly as described and had everything we needed. The beds and linens were extremely comfortable. A rental car is a must and we spent every day at a different beach. Driving is on the left side and the roads are narrow and in bad shape with few street signs. It takes a bit to get used to but definitely doable with your maps app. The house had a cooler and beach chairs available which was such a nice amenity. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need. We stayed in and cooked every morning and most evenings as there wasn't a much better view for breakfast and dinner than on your own back patio. The gardens around the home were very well manicured and the property had a locked gate so we felt very safe. The house is actually two attached villas but the couple staying next door was very nice and sharing the pool was not a problem at all. We would definitely stay at AntiguaBella again - it was paradise!

Amazing home!

My husband and I stayed at AntiguaBella with our 4 sons and niece for a week (ages 4-17). Keeflin was so kind to greet us with snacks when we arrived and left her contact info if we needed anything, but the home is so well set up that we never had to contact her! AntiguaBella is in a gorgeous location and is near a good grocery store (we were pleased to find many food items that even accommodated gluten free and lactose free dietary needs) and restaurants. We rented a van for our stay which worked great to be able to check out many of the islands beautiful beaches. We would highly recommend AntiguaBella and are thankful to the Tazewell’s for sharing their beautiful home with us!

House has everything you need

My wife and I and another couple enjoyed six nights at AntiguaBella in early November. As others have said, the view is fantastic. We started our day sipping coffee and watching the colors of the water change as the sun rose higher in the sky and ended the day marveling at the colors of the sunset on sky and sea. Nighttime brought the moon rise over the dramatic cliffs behind the house and the twinkling lights of Jolly Harbor. The pool also provided us a place to relax and cool off after a day's adventures. The furniture outside and inside was plentiful and very comfortable, especially the beds. The house itself is truly luxurious and has everything one needs to enjoy your stay. Many vacation properties are supplied kind of helter skelter with kitchen utensils, dishes, furniture etc, but not AntiguaBella. Everything you can think of is provided and is first rate. If I had to come up with one negative for this property, it would be the roads, but they are bad all over the island and no fault of the Tazewells.

I would not reccomend the Carribean between August and November. However you can not beat the stunning beauty of Antiguabella. The Tazewells were very nice and made sure we were as comfortable as possible. The house was very solid so we did feel safe while we were there.

AntiguaBella Paradise!

We had the most amazing week at AntiguaBella! The property is absolutely gorgeous! The house is spacious, clean and comfortable, and the photographs accurately depict it. It was obvious that Thomas and Sharon Tazewell (the owners) spent a great deal of time, thought and love in creating an elegant but relaxed decor for the villa and grounds. As soon as we walked in, we exhaled into a week of both relaxation and adventure. We were welcomed to the villa by the lovely Caril - - who was so sweet and left a delicious fruit plate and delicious rum punch - - including a non-alcoholic version for our girls. There were beautiful tropical fresh flowers on the kitchen counter and dining room table that really made us feel like we were truly at home in Paradise. We had no complaints about anything and wanted for nothing. The pool is large and well-maintained. There were several seating areas surrounding the pool outside that were comfortable, peaceful and beautiful. There were also various fruit trees on the grounds: mango, pomegranate, limes, bananas. I found a mango that was almost ripe and waited a few days before trying it. Yummm!! It was the most delicious mango I have ever had in my entire life! Straight off the tree! The kitchen was perfect! It was a very good size and had the appliances and utensils needed to make meals. The grocery store and numerous restaurants are within a 10 minute drive and across the island. The bedrooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. The beds and linens were so comfortable. I really cannot say enough about the villa. It was truly perfection in every respect. I would highly recommend renting a car if you want to venture out to experience the island. It was extremely challenging to get around because they drive on the left in Antigua and the roads are not necessarily clearly named. However, we were able to go everywhere we wanted by using the GPS app on my phone with no problem. Antigua is gorgeous! Beaches are in walking distance and virtually everywhere. There are many wonderful restaurants (all al fresco) with a variety of choices. You really have the option of having a completely chilled out vacation or venturing out to explore different activities. We loved Antigua and cannot wait to return to AntiguaBella. It was amazing and so much more even than we expected. We highly recommend staying here. Thanks to the Tazewells for sharing their bit of Paradise with us!

MAGAZINE COVER VIEW! VILLA WAS VERY LUXURIOUS! KAYAKS/POOL/SNORKELING GEAR!!!!

Wow! That view is to die for!!!!!!! The pictures are amazing, but you will be awe struck by that view! And, I couldn't believe how luxurious AntiguaBella was! The pool was perfect and huge. Even supplied pool toys! We ate just about every meal outside. It's so spacious. And we even ate fruit from their fruit garden which they have each tree labeled with the name of the fruit. They have a blender so we had amazing fresh, fruit smoothies. They also have two 2-man kayaks with oars and life jackets. We put the backpacks on and road the bikes to Hermitage Bay .... only about a 5 minutes bike ride. It was like a dream! The water is an amazing turquoise color and calm because it's the Caribbean Sea. They also provide chairs and snorkeling gear! THEY FAR EXCEEDED OUR EXCEPTIONS! We were spoiled and pampered. We road the bikes to Jolly Harbour which is very close. They have restaurants, more beaches and Epicurean Grocery Store where we bought a lot of our groceries. The beds were super comfy and the place was clearly professionally decorated. Everything we needed and more was there! We hated to leave, but are so grateful for being able to enjoy a slice of paradise. We left rejuvenated and relaxed. They offered us a masseuse and chef. Talk about spoiled!! We will definitely return....next time for a longer stay. Oh, we also ventured into St. John's and enjoyed the market. It's only about a 15 minutes drive. A beautiful drive. AntiguaBella is 3 bedrooms, has the high ceilings, amazing layout and HUGE outdoor living so it was very spacious! The AC was wonderful, but we rarely used it due to the tradewinds. You will NOT be disappointed with AntiguaBella....it's everything you could hope for and more.

Beautiful House and Location

We loved the house and had a great time. We wish we had been able to stay longer. I would definitely rent a car if staying there so you can get the full island experience and be mobile to get to the restaurants and activities. The beach down by the Hermitage was not a bad walk and loaded with shells. Overall a great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Tazewell

I am a proud Antiguan born/Trinidadian/American/Canadian who studied abroad, but never forgot my West Indian roots. My husband quickly embraced my Antiguan culture and now we own our dream home in Antigua. We scoured the island and found this nearly perfect home and made it even better! AntiguaBella is truly a villa that looks like it popped out of a travel magazine. The pictures don't do justice. You will be amazed by the views and the tranquility that comes with the home.
We are happy to share our slice of paradise with you. Enjoy your stay and we look forward to many more!
Cheers,
Thomas and Sharon

Why they chose this property

We challenge you to find a better view. AntiguaBella has panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. Plus, you can see Jolly Harbour Marina and all the spectacular yachts. And, don't forget about several islands in plain view. On clear days (which is most), you can see the volcano on Montserrat smoldering. It's fascinating!

The nearest beach (which there are many close by) is only a hop, skip and a jump away. It's a quick 10 minute walk. Don't forget the two-2 man kayak. OF COURSE IT'S ALL INCLUDED IN THE PRICE. And beach chairs, beach towels and cooler....need I say more? Just bring your swimsuit!

Did I mention the view is spectacular?! You know when you look at a picture in a magazine of turquoise water in some tropical place? Well, our view is THAT picture! Really! Take a break from the view and dipping in the pool and venture into our fruit garden. Indulge all you like! Do you like mangoes? We have plenty!

AntiguaBella is gated, spacious and extremely comfortable. We spared no expense when it came to detail. We wanted luxury, which is exactly what your get. Plus, the large swimming pool and sitting area is much larger than most on the island. You can really take advantage of the indoor/outdoor living. It's truly amazing!
We made sure to add air conditioning for guests who like it a little cooler indoors.

When you arrive in Antigua, we want to make sure you feel pampered so we include a complimentary snack basket with snacks, water and tropical drinks. Plus, a member of our staff will meet and greet you with the keys upon your arrival to AntiguaBella.

AntiguaBella has 110 and 220 voltage electrical outlets to accommodate all guests.

Plus, if you want a chef or masseuse we're more than happy to accommodate!

3 bedrooms isn't enough? You want more space? NO PROBLEM! Also rent our sister villa VRBO #1310424.

What makes this property unique

The sea view is spectacular. Whether it's sunrise, high noon or sunset it's simply breathtaking. We take advantage of the indoor/outdoor living and provide various seating options. The large teak dining table outside, sunbrella sun loungers, seating outside the master suite, seating under the pergola and even a private 2 person bistro table with umbrella.
We even have a large fruit garden. Feel free to pick whatever fruit you desire.
Our spacious, luxurious villa is very inviting and tranquil.
