The most interesting aspect of staying at Reef View Apartments is the close proximity to some of the best beaches (e.g., Darkwood and Turner's are 5 minutes away by car), the highest peak (Boggy Peak -- a 50 minute up/40 minute down hike on foot that my girlfriend and I did every morning), and the best three cocktail bars (Jackie O's, Sheer Rock's, and Sugar Ridge), which were about a 5-10 minute car ride away.

Also, the apartments are located in the middle of a village, which saved us quite a bit of money, since we were able to buy groceries and meals (there are two nice bakeries in town, as well as a great seafood bar) at local prices. Antigua is not a cheap island, and they money we saved on eating, we spent on cocktails, which, by the way, are en pair with anything you get served in New York, Paris or London.

The beaches on the side of the island were also not crowded and and it only cost us a few dollars to get beach chairs and umbrellas.

Nick and Karroll were extremely helpful. They picked us up at the airport, gave us a tour of the village, booked a trip for us to Barbuda, and reserved a rental car for us prior to our arrival ( I do think a car is a necessity when staying at the place).

The apartment we stayed in was very quiet with a large kitchen (my girlfriend loves to cook) The cool Ocean breeze at night made it unnecessary to turn on the air conditioning. Overall, my girlfriend and I can highly recommend staying with Nick and Karroll.

Sunrises, sunsets, a mavellous seaview panorama, a beautifully quiet reef, brilliant bird and wildlife, great local food in the village, local buses to 6 lovely swimming beaches, all will give you a very different holiday to staying in a resort.
The Penthouse apartment was very well appointed, we cooked fresh fish from the village mariner or got takeaways from local villagers, and ate on the balcony every night to the sound of piping frogs.
Karoll was full of helpful advice and local knowledge and seemed pleased that we embraced the local experience.
If you love the wilder side of life, take your binoculars and strong soled water shoes for shore walks.
Watch ospreys, pelicans, frigate birds, hummingbirds, hawks, grackles and bats all from the balcony.....
We only hired a car for the last two days of our two week stay, as we were so chilled out, and didn't put the TV on once.
We will be back!
