Pelican Reef Villa - Antigua Oceanfront Retreat

We invite you to stay in our beautiful ocean view villa, where you can wake up to a majestic sunrise. We will also pick up/drop off our guests from the airport for free. Guests will have direct access to Dian Bay on the property where you can enjoy snorkeling with our free water sports rentals. We are also just a 5 minute walk to Long Bay Beach.

Feel free to use Pelican Reef Villa for workcation with full speed internet or simply have fun with your friends, family and your loved ones.

The space
We have been renting this villa privately for years, but we decided to share this villa on airbnb as well so that we could share the wonderful experience to more people.

【Meet our housekeeper, Marilyn】
Marilyn, our dedicated housekeeper, will make sure all guests have clean bedsheets and towels upon your request. Daily dishwashing and sweeping is included in the service as well.

If you need anything during your stay, Marilyn will be there from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm to help you. If you need any recommendations on where to visit or what to do during your stay, please feel free to message us and we will provide you with multiple suggestions. (We know some places that you could enjoy for free too!)

【Breakfast & dinner option】
Furthermore, we can provide additional house keeping services such as doing the laundry and serving authentic Caribbean style home cooked meals (breakfast & dinner) for 50 USD/night per person.
Fried plantains, oven roasted duck and chicken, fresh spearfished seafood dish are what we recommend.
*Please book this option more than 1 week prior to your visit since we will need to purchase the ingredients at a supermarket near St. John's.
*Please note that there won't be that many restaurants, supermarkets or convenience stores in a walking distance. So we highly recommend you choose this option for your convenience.

【Free pick up at the airport】
If you are visiting this villa from overseas, we will coordinate a taxi driver to pick you up at V.C. Bird International Airport. Just let us know your flight schedule.

【Flexible check-in/check-out time】
You may check in anytime that is convenient for you. Marilyn or one of our members will be there to welcome you on the day that you arrive.
Although we set the checkout time to 6pm, we are willing to make it flexible depending on your flight, next schedule and so on. Please let us know what time would be convenient for you and we will do our best to make it happen.

【Free water sports equipments】
Any guests that are staying at Pelican Reef Villa will also have access to the water sports items for free. These are the items we have ready for you:
・Snorkeling masks (Large size x2, small size x2)
・Swim fins (Extra large x1, large x1, small x1, extra small x1)
・Body boards (48 inches x1, 42 inches x1)
・Inflatable paddle boards (2 are available)

【Meet the locals】
Since we have a lot of connections with the locals in Antigua, if you have any activities that you would want to do, we can arrange a tour for you. For example, if you want to experience jet skiing, we will introduce you to Rolston Roberts.

A very relaxing holiday
We've just returned from spending a very relaxing family Christmas break at the Gordon House. It was our first time away from home at Christmas and we were travelling with teenagers and my elderly mother and I have to say the house worked beautifully for all. Its a very spacious house with the most amazing views. Our children loved the terrace area for sunbathing, swimming and fishing and my mother was very happy relaxing in the house enjoying the views. Marilyn the housekeeper looked after us really well and couldn't do enough for us and we thoroughly enjoyed the curry she made for us on our arrival. The only problem was the quantity of mosquito's which made life a bit difficult. I don't know wether it was just the time of year but they were pretty relentless. Marilyn was really helpful in supplying deet spray and putting up mosquito nets at night but be aware as the house is open to the elements and its virtually impossible to avoid them. All in all all a great trip and looking forward to returning.

A Gorgeous Private House
This house has an absolutely amazing view, and it's made even better by the steps down to the private grotto to get in the bay. There's some construction going on across the bay, but we found it didn't bother us at all. Brenda was our housekeeper since Marilyn was on vacation, and she was fantastic. Junior unexpectedly brought paddle boards for us to use, which we really enjoyed. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We rented a car and are happy we did. The cost of taxis to travel every day is much more than a weeklong rental. The next time we find ourselves in Antigua we will try to stay here again!

Beautiful, unique, relaxing
Our family loved staying in this house. The veranda is a wonderful place to see and watch the cove, its birds, or folks kayaking or paddle boarding across on the other shore; the house is airy, comfortable, lovely for relaxing. We loved its garden and location as well as the snorkeling off the lower terrance where we found interesting fish and further out, lobsters (hiding from us under rocks and no threat at all!). We also enjoyed the beach just down the hill, with its warm water, shallow bottom, and two fun beach bars/ restaurants. All so easy and the locals so kind to us and gracious. We loved watching the families play in the beautiful turquoise water. The housekeeper was so very sweet to us. We had a wonderful time. It was our first time to Antigua and we loved every second.
