Villa Cleaning: Our housekeeper will meet you at the villa upon your arrival to see you are settled in.
If additional cleaning service is required during longer stays a charge of U$ 60.00 per instance will be charged.

Note: Villa is self catering which means paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher soap, basic essentials are provided as a starter pack. Once used, guests will need to replenish.

Villa Property Management Company: Our property management company can arrange a taxi to pick you up at the airport for a nominal fee of $60
We would be more than happy to assist you upon your booking.
I have my own personal golf cart available for rent at U$25/day.
No children are to drive the cart and the renter is responsible for any damage incurred. The fuel is full on beginning of rental and the same is expected at the end.
It has been brought to our attention that if you do rent a car, you must register the vehicle with the complex's CDAL Security Office located in the Commercial Centre within the complex. There is a charge of $10 US, subject to change, to register the vehicle. CDAL Security is not open on the weekends, but is open Mon-Fri from 9 am to 4 pm. This is an added security feature to the overall complex.

Deck and Finger Pier: We have added a deck and finger pier built onto the patio, which makes the whole area double the size. The decking lets you sunbathe for longer into the evening, and has lights set into the deck for evening use.The finger pier allows you to fish further out or use for mooring a boat. The extended deck and finger pier were just redone to it's natural wood finish, flower/plant pots added as well as additional sunbeds. Recently we added a new patio set with 6 chairs to enjoy al fresco dining on the veranda. A propane BBQ is also available.

You can appreciate that our cleaners have other villas to clean, especially during High Season as well as departures and arrivals occur more on Fridays, . Most of our guests now are paying for the day so they have full use of Villa Emerald Dreams prior to their departure vs. having to move luggage, etc. to another villa.

There are numerous marine facilities that can assist with rentals, just let us know if you have an interest and we can provide the information.

Antigua family vacation
We had a great time and loved the villa. Very clean and open, lots of room, great patio, close to beach. Villa was exactly as advertised. Owner (Paul) responsive to all our questions before we arrived. Once there, his property manager (Stacey) was equally helpful if we had any questions. This property is highly recommended.

Not as advertised…
It’s always a roll of the dice at Jolly’s Villas. This listing promoted luxurious accommodations that were not factual. For one, the furnishings are super dated. The couch as an example might have been great in 2016 (where most of these reviews were posted) but in 2022…seriously a beat couch. The same goes for the entire Villa. Perhaps years ago the owners spent money in making this place seems “luxurious “ but after years of wear - wow does it show. To add to the false advertisement, the cleaning by the property management company was sub par. So much so that dust was clearly visible (as if it was never swept) and we found several dead cockroaches. Adding to the cockroaches, we also saw several live scurrying throughout the kitchen when we came home from dinner. Will add, we never cooked in the Villa due to the cockroaches. May I also add, this place offers in their description cable…yeah, that’s a lie. We had Netflix that we never used due to the 11 burnt in dots into the older style TV that didn’t allow us to watch a clear screen. I mean, but a new TV. Also, and this may be part of the cleanliness, when we arrived - I had to turn the water on to each toilet. Leads me to believe no one recently is renting this place. On the somewhat upside, the outside patio is nice and pleasant (others have posted similar experiences). The location to Jolly Beach and Commercial Center (as others have posted) is accurate. However the overall cleanliness, advertised amenities, and “luxurious” accommodations are false. We would not recommend this Villa to those considering.

A most relaxing vacation
We had one of our best vacations staying at Paul' s villa. We loved the location on the South Finger of Jolly Harbor which allowed us to walk to restaurants and to the beach in no time. The view from the villa is wonderful (from both the living room area and the master bedroom). For a family of 4 it worked great for us as our daughters had their own bedroom and bath. The kitchen is well equipped and the furnishings are very comfortable. Communication with the owner and the property manager was easy. We are grateful that we were allowed to leave a few hours later when we found out our flight had been delayed. We highly recommend this villa and we hope to return one day.

Beautiful Jolly Harbor Villa
This is a beautiful property on one of the top locations in Jolly Harbor. It is a 3 minute walk to the best beach on the island with beach restaurant and local beach bar as well. There are lounge chairs and umbrellas available on the beach. The owner has a golf cart which can be rented for your stay which is super fun and allows you to get to the grocery store and the shops and restaurants in the gated harbor community with less than a 5 minute toodle. The villa is super well kept and nicely decorated. Everything you need is already there, like home away from home. We have stayed all over the Caribbean and this was our favorite vacation ever. Relaxing at the villa with the views of the houses across the finger, the super yachts, and the boats going by the end of the inlet was absolutely lovely and relaxing. We thank the owners so much for letting us stay in their beautiful home and for making sure we had everything we needed. The representative was super helpful with any questions we had and in recommending places to eat and assisting in making taxi reservations. She had the golf cart there and filled up when we arrived so we could go off to the grocery store and get our supplies. Overall a 5 star vacation!!
