About this property

Villa Coquille at St James's Club, Mamora Bay, Antigua

Villa Coquille offers all the luxuries of St. James's Club, spectacular views of Mamora Bay from sunrise to sunset and a very private and intimate feel. If you are looking to be in a very secure environment with all the comforts that a holiday resort offers, but want to be in a secluded, intimate and very private beachfront location at the same time, you have found your place!

CANCELLATION POLICY - from October 15 to April 30 - cancel within 150 days for full refund, within 90 days for a 50% refund. From May 1 to November 14 - cancel within 75 days for a full refund and 45 days for a 50% refund. Contact me directly for a cancellation.

The 2 bedroom, 2.5 en-suite bath villa offers a king size master bedroom with large screened windows opening to the beach and sea and another large sized bedroom with three beds. Two can be joined to create a king size bed and the third is a queen size Murphy bed.

The spacious living area opens to gorgeous views of Mamora Bay and has an open plan kitchen great for entertainment. Indoor or outdoor dining, your choice. A place to relax with a book or relax in front of the tv if you need to take a break from the Caribbean sun. The villa is fully air-conditioned, has flat screen TV and private Wi-Fi is provided.

The fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances will permit you to cook a gourmet dinner or just make yourself a good Italian espresso when you need reinforcements after a day of sport activities.

The inside is furnished in light beach house style, bright and breezy, with updated designer furnishings to capture the beach style living and color palette inspired by water, sun and vegetation. You will find artwork created by the previous owner from what she found on the beaches and in the sea of Mamora Bay. Take inspiration and create your own artwork to take home from your holidays!

The very large covered terrace (nearly 800sf) features a cozy and delightful dining area with additional space for entertaining and a lounging area with comfortable sun loungers. The covered patio is arguably the best to be found at the resort! The villa's terrace has an electrically operated windscreen which provides for an even more serene and sheltered feeling.

Evenings are well spent on the terrace watching the sunset and the lights surrounding Mamora Bay emerge. The Caribbean sky showcases the stars as they appear and the breeze of the palms, gentle breaking waves and sound of tropical tree frogs will chill you out even more.

Located right on the beach, 'piers dans l'eau', a short stroll away from the resort's amenities, offers the best of both worlds: unobstructed views of the sea and a quiet golden sand beach at your doorstep. There are sun parasols for your exclusive use and all the buzz of the resort's restaurants, water sports centre and swimming pools are just a barefoot walk away.

The size of the villa and its terrace with its comfortable and tasteful interior, as well as the superb beachfront location may make you spend your entire holiday relaxing at the villa. You will be surrounded by spectacular views, with frequent breaks for a dip in the sea and a snooze in the shade. We encourage you to do more! The resort has two fabulous sandy beaches, cleaned every day, so you can swim in warm clear Caribbean waters to your heart's content. From the Atlantic side beach you can swim or kayak as far as a coral reef and snorkel from there and from the Mamora Bay beach side you can set off windsurfing, paddle boarding, snorkeling, catamaran sailing, etc...

Enjoy all of St. James's Club facilities which you will find more than enough during your stay: four seafront restaurants, a beach bar and grill or if you do not feel like getting up from your sun lounger just grab a beverage from the drink cart passing by with astonishing regularity!

The all-inclusive package is available for an additional fee but is quite worthy of the price (currently $135 per adult and $75 per child under age 12). The property manager, Mr. Akeem Zachariah, is a fully trained professional chef and offers a la carte catering services. He will also guide you to the best places to dine on the island and advise you on where to buy your groceries. He also offers the option to pre-purchase your groceries for you and have the kitchen totally stocked (small fee)!

Try your hand in sailing, kayaking, windsurfing and paddle boating under a watchful eye of the seasoned water sports crew. Take part in beach volleyball matches, morning hikes, stretch/pilates and Abs classes or sweat on your own terms in the fully equipped, air-conditioned workout gym! Play tennis on one of the four floodlit tennis courts or take up pickle ball on the new courts. And then take yourself to the beauty spa with a delightfully long menu of treatments.

Outside St. James's Club things to do are aplenty! We are happy to share with you all the famous and hidden treasures of Antigua and our property manager, Akeem Zachariah, will be glad to answer any questions. He can point you to restaurants, night life, historic monuments, places to watch yacht racings, day-trips by car or boat, deep-sea diving and deep-sea fishing. You can schedule all that and more via a concierge at the St. James's Club or ask us for a recommendation. You may rent a car, with or without a driver, in order to travel the island.

Our Wi-Fi is about the fastest at any Villa in the resort and we have a wireless printer with scanner available, especially helpful if any one in your party needs to do a bit of remote "work"!

It is a vacation paradise and it can be yours for reasonable rates.

We have completed several recent renovations to the Villa. This includes a kitchen renovation by adding a dishwasher, new Corian countertops and tile backsplash, extending the cabinets, adding a custom made pantry cabinet and installing new appliances. On the patio we have installed ceiling fans and new dining tables. A new Bosch clothes dryer to compliment the Bosch washer has been added and the guest bedroom has a new queen sized Murphy bed. New and larger dressers have been added to the master bedroom and guest bedroom.

RESORT & ISLAND FEE (St James's Club, Antigua):
A Resort Fee of $24 per night is payable locally at the resort and a recently government mandated fee of $5 per person per day is also payable at the resort. This fee includes wi-fi service throughout the resort and helps defer the costs of enhanced cleaning and sanitizing protocols (COVID). The fee is inclusive of any taxes. The province of Antigua charges all guests a "Tourism Guest Levy" of $5 per day per person (this began in October 2021).

Spring Break getaway

We had a lovely stay at this Mamora Bay Villa. The beachfront access was perfect for our children and the amenities such as the water sports were an added bonus! We opted out of the all inclusive package and explored the island most days with our rental car.

Best of both worlds (private spacious villa within a resort)

Best location on the St James Club property - very private, quiet and relaxing, and just steps down from the patio to the beach. Great communication with owners. My daughter loved having her own bedroom and bathroom. We also loved the flexibility of purchasing the all inclusive meal plan for part of the trip (3 days) and leaving the property for an excursion and a special dinner at Pillars in Nelson's dockyard. Staff at St James was wonderful. Friendly, helpful staff at guest services, the restaurants, bars and water sports. If we come back, we would only want to stay at this villa again!

The home could not be more perfect, a beachfront house with lots of outdoor space, directly on a idyllic and quiet beach. We like to cook and the kitchen had everything you could ever need. The location was ideal, the St. James Club has everything you could ask for. We hope to return again some day!

Lovely villa in an amazing location

We loved being able to step onto the beach for a quick swim from the spacious terrace of Villa Coquille. We had a wonderful holiday relaxing at the villa and also using the waterspouts of St James's club and exploring around Antigua. The villa is beautiful, clean and well equipped and in a beautiful location right on a stunning calm bay.

Great stay at Villa Coquille

Very enjoyable working vacation at Villa Coquille. Extremely relaxing especially during low season in Antigua. Villa amenities and St. James Club facilities all as advertised. Many thanks to Akeem, the property manager for his constant attention especially during the passage of Tropical Storm Fiona. Would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Antigua.

Ideal Rental

If you are looking for an on-the-beach location with access to all kinds of water sports, in a villa that is well equipped and maintained, with a helpful and responsive owner and property manager, this is it! Everything was as described and the views are even better than the photos. We had a fabulous visit! Cynthia and Greg were very responsive in the rental process and gave us great tips before our stay. Akeem, the local property manager, was very welcoming and attentive to our needs. He grocery shopped for us and arranged for a catered meal. Having the option to use the resort or our kitchen made it a very relaxing week. We hope to visit again soon.

Idyllic villa setting on the beach

Beautiful spacious villa with amazing patio and gorgeous furnishings offering unparalleled views across the bay. Main bedroom bed is huge and very comfortable, twin beds comfortable. The villa has use of the resort beach towels and watersports. Food in resort not worth money they charge so stock up fridge from local supermarket and enjoy the fabulous restaurants in English Harbour. Property owners quick to answer questions.

Paradise in Antigua

We returned for another epic week at Villa Coquille. The villa offers a truly relaxed setting from which to enjoy a perfect stay in Antigua. The villa is front row on the beachfront. Our favorite place is the covered veranda with its couches, chairs, and dining tables from which to enjoy meals, snacks, read, and socialize. We enjoy being steps from the water’s edge. We make full use of the beachfront with lounging around in the sun, swimming and sailing in the bay. The kitchen is well appointed which we fill with groceries from the Epicurean store on our transit from the airport to the gated, secured resort. The villa is well managed by Akeem whom also helps us organize a chef for a few dinners during our stay. It is a short 15-20 minute taxi ride to English and Falmouth harbors for dinners the remaining nights, or you can eat at the resort. The villa’s internet was fast enough to read and watch what we wanted on our devices. We enjoy the activities that depart from the resort by boat. In prior years we snorkeled with the sting rays and walked among the tortoises. This year we took an evening cruise along the southern end of the island. We always have a splendid time at Greg & Cynthia’s villa. They are wonderful hosts. I am thankful that they share their wonderful property for others to enjoy. Wishing everyone the best in 2025.

On The Beach!

This was an absolutely wonderful villa - right on a fabulous beach with a great deck, well-furnished rooms, good AC, and access to all of the resort's water sports (sailing, SUPs, kayaks, and more) Mamora Bay was terrific - with none of the Sargasso that now plagues Antiguan beaches on the Atlantic side of the island. We loved the location near English Harbor, where there are many good local restaurants , very interesting historic sites, and one of the finest yachting centers in the Caribbean. We took good advantage of the well equipped kitchen in the villa after shopping at "Covent Garden" market a couple of kilometers away and enjoyed the beach bar just a few hundred feet from the villa's deck. The staff at the St James Club was especially friendly and helpful. We very much hope to return!

Book It

My brother lives in Antigua so we've visited many times over the years. This is by far the best place we've stayed. The house is right on the beach and at the end of the beach, which is especially private and nice. The huge veranda has three really comfortable seating areas and that's where we spent our time. The beds/linens are super comfortable too. The beach is in a gorgeous little protected cove, ideal for swimming. We usually rent a house but this time we went with a resort. This resort has so much to offer! Tennis and pickle ball courts, little sailboats, kayaks, SUPs, optional restaurants, live music at night at just the right distance away, plus planned activities every day like Water Polo games, trivia games, kid movies and yoga. We won't stay anywhere else next time. The hosts are welcoming, the manager is excellent at his job. It's really a gem. Just book it.

30th anniversary dream vacation

After having to postpone our trip for 2 years, it was finally a dream come true. The resort was beautiful, the villa was amazing, the location was perfect. When we travel, it’s all about the details. A cooler for the beach, an ice machine to fill the cooler, and fresh beach towels daily. All the necessities to make the villa our own, and the safety of a gated resort. We loved relaxing on the patio after a hard day at the beach, and steps away from the sand and water was fabulous. All questions and concerns were dealt with promptly before our arrival, and Akeem was there if we needed him.( The property manager.) it’s certainly a trip we will never forget, and we definitely recommend this property. Thanks for everything Greg and Cynthia Todd & Jackie

Best Villa at the St. James Club

This is private paradise with access to resort amenities and activities at the St. James Club. The spacious terrace is spectacular. The villa sits at the quiet end of the beach with a great view down the beach and out to the bay. We loved taking out the hobie cats, kayaks and sups. My family enjoyed beach volleyball, tennis and pickle ball. I enjoyed just sitting on the terrace or lounging on a swim ring in the bay. There are some nice excursions offered through the resort. You can be as active or relaxed as you want. The villa has everything you need if you want to cook or you can dine at the resorts’ open-air restaurants. A great location to feel safe during these COVID times. Testing at the resort for the return trip was easy. Throughout our stay, the property manager was on hand for any needs and arranged a private chef for us for a spectacular dinner on the terrace. My family and I had a fabulous time. We will be back!

Simply the BEST.

You simply cannot do better than Villa Coquille. It has the best location on beach, best verandah, best amenities, and best owners and support staff. If this Villa is available for your dates, grab it! Villa Coquille is located on the more private end of the St. James Club beach, and just a few steps from the Mamora Bay Bar and the Towel hut. The verandah is unbelievable, has a dining table for at least 10 persons, different seating and laying about areas, outdoor shower, not to forget the cooling fans! It’s a perfect area for anything you want to do outside. The inside is just as perfect and has all the quality amenities you would need, while still maintaining “you are in Antigua at the beach” feeling. The owners have cultivated a sense of sharing – use the sunscreen, starter food, etc. left for your use, and leave what you didn’t use for the next person. St. James Club speaks for itself and you have access to all its amenities. However, in our view, this is the best Villa there. We even watched a lobster boat moored just out front go out/come back every day – one day with a shark! I cannot recommend Villa Coquille enough.

About the host

Hosted by Greg & Cynthia Poole

Host profile image
We recently purchased this Villa from a very nice couple who took great care of the property for over 10 years. We fell in love with Antigua and the St James's Club resort over the past few years and decided to make a long term investment. The Antiguan people are the friendliest in the Caribbean, the weather is perfect and the resort offers so many advantages over renting a stand alone Villa. We are from the USA, enjoy travel and love to meet people from all over the world. We are committed to maintaining the Villa to high standards and ensuring that you have a great vacation and holiday.

Why they chose this property

This property is one of a kind and is located at one of the most popular upscale resorts on the island with 24 hour gated security, use of all resort facilities and an option to purchase an all inclusive dining package.

What makes this property unique

The very best patio/terrace on the beach, fully covered!
