Antigua's Best Oceanfront, Serene Beach Home

Welcome to Olivette – a true Caribbean gem positioned on a bluff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. An approved COVID19 property by the government of Antigua and Barbuda, this home is perfect for anniversary celebrations, surprise birthdays, honeymoons, writing/work retreat, and family vacations! Its lovely tropical garden is surrounded by breathtaking vistas of the ocean and nearby hills. Relax to the sight and sounds of the ocean waves as they make their way to the shore, and on moon lit nights you can enjoy the stunning beauty of the moonlight as it shimmers across the ocean.

Olivette is well-appointed with two level home, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main level, and a third bedroom with bathroom on its lower level. There are no tubs in our bathrooms, however, all of our bathrooms offer a shower (hot and cold water), sink, commode, and bath linens. We provide a fully equipped kitchen with a 4-burner propane stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, cookware, bakeware, glassware and utensils. There is a laundry area with a washing machine, washtub, iron and ironing board. Our bedrooms are provided with an ample supply of queen-sized bed linens, pillows and towels.

The lower level of this house is where the third bedroom and bathroom are located. There is a refreshment area, with sink, microwave, coffee machine, dishes and a pub table for two. This level has a separate external entrance with its own patio, and parking space. Guests access the main level of this house from an outside stairway.

A stay at Olivette will be the epitome of relaxation and comfort. You cannot beat our views! It will be our pleasure to be your host for a stay.

Amazing location
Olivette has an unrivalled position on the edge of Carlisle Bay and is completely private as not overlooked Car is essential in this location as not much within walking distance Track to villa is not for the novice driver but passable both care. Lenard the local contact was very helpful Excellent air conditioning Would benefit from more crockery and maybe a barbecue grill We may well return

Beautiful home with a stunning view.
Spent a month here. The house is very nice, the location is beautiful. Driveway is terrible, but so our the roads in Antigua. Would have given five stars but lacking in some ammenties. Cloths pins, cloths hangers, and kichen servingware was in short supply. May be ok for a short stay but were there a month. The downstairs bedroom( which was seperate from main house and may have not been used in a while) was also in need of some deep cleaning.

Stunning Location but Accessibility Challenges
Undoubtedly a 5 star location with breathtaking views and sunsets to die for. We are seasoned self-caterers and know Antigua well and chose this house for its proximity to great beaches on the west coast and south east corner of the island. The house is located on the headland between Carlisle Bay and Curtain Bluff resorts in Old Road, and around a 15 min drive from Epicurean supermarket at Jolly Harbour. We weren’t provided with any check in info - even directions - prior to our arrival, meaning I had to message the owner when we landed and then given contact details for the manager. The house is clean, light, and spacious with excellent air conditioning. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (toilet & shower, no baths). The kitchen is equipped with 6 ring gas hob/oven (needs matches to light it), a kettle, toaster, microwave, a large fridge with a good sized freezer compartment, and a filter coffee machine. There is also a large washing machine in the utility room and clothes lines immediately outside the back door to dry clothes. A 4WD vehicle is essential for a stay. The track to the house from the road is literally a rubble dirt track and has a very steep incline at the start of it which requires very confident driving ability to navigate, especially when driving up it. The access road then straightens and smooths out as you approach the property. The drive of the property is another steep incline. All in all a great property but access is challenging.

Screwed at Last Minute
The night before we were to get on an airplane at 5:00 in the morning we received an email that our reservation was cancelled. I had tried to communicate with the owner several times to get check in information several days before and got no response. I would not book this property. We contacted a local management company and were able to secure a replacement unit.

We survived Hurricane Tammy!
Even though our stay was shortened by two days due to hurricane Tammy, our time at Villa Olivette was wonderful. The house was dated, yet probably one of most charming house we ever experienced for a vacation. The views were second to none. You have a fabulous sunrise each morning and a spectacular sunset from the porch and balconies. You have your “own” private bay. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The property manager Lenard was one of best parts of this rental. He was a class act with his guidance and welcome. Our suggestion is that you either rent a solid quality car such as a jeep or 4 wheel drive to navigate the driveway and steep hill leading to the house. We suffered a flat tire exiting the hill. We ended up paying for drivers to escort us to our trips around the island. It was a first driving on the left side of the road. Our sincere suggestion is to save your money on a car rental and use it instead for drivers. Lenard had connections with local and trustworthy drivers. There are nice beaches within walking distance. We suggest you walk to Gina’s shack which is less than a 10 minute walk for her fresh juices. Her bbq chicken is a delicious snack. The locals are nice and friendly, yet you be the first to say hello. I would definitely come back. The house and its location on the hill was a gem. Remote and private. You would not be disappointed. Sam and Lynn Losorelli Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Sam

The perfect place
We had two beautiful weeks at Villa Olivette! The villa is perfectly located in a calm neighborhood and really not far from some of the most beautiful beaches we’ve seen in our life. We had a car to travel around the island but we were always happy to comme back at the Villa at the end of the day to relax and enjoy the sunset. The Villa is really spacious and we really enjoyed the balcony facing the ocean every morning and every evening. Lenard was so kind, thoughtful and helpful during our stay. He really is a nice guy and was a big part of the success of our trip, my boyfriend really enjoyed talking weather with him! Overall we recommend this place 100% and hope to be back some day! :)

Absolutely Perfect!
The place was beautiful and fully equipped with everything needed for a home from home stay! The location was fabulous with views that were simply stunning. The property manager was friendly, professionally, courteous & extremely helpful - he went over & above to ensure our stay was perfect. The only reason I’ve given 4 stars for location is because of the access road, slightly difficult to navigate, especially in the dark. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

Breathtaking views and enviable location
My wife, 16 month old son (and for a week in the middle, my wife's uncle and aunt) very much enjoyed our 15 days at Old Road. Arriving in the rain and dark, finding the driveway was our second challenge, after navigating the unlit forest road from the airport in our hired Jeep! To be fair, our family guests had a worse time of it with their taxi driver who flatly refused to come down the driveway which was poor form and easily navigable. Luckily, extremely friendly locals saved us and the property manager saved the taxi driver! We received a very friendly welcome from the property manager who maintained excellent communications throughout our stay. The property is a colonial style and just what we wanted. We weren't looking for a westernized property and the villa had all the charm. Views from all the windows and there was always something happening out to sea with boats mooring and often visiting the two exclusive resorts to either side of our promontory. If you want isolation - you got it. If you want excellent beaches around 10-15 minutes walk away - you got it If you want to be immersed in Old Road culture at their stalls and home bars in 5 or so minutes - you got it. Other than that, a Jeep (and I recommend something capable if just for the more than occasional massive potholes) will get you anywhere on the island in less than an hour. We drove every inch of Antigua whilst we were there. Had a fabulous burger at a joint near English Harbour with Timothy Dalton.
