First I want to say thank you to 2 people. - Trevor who manages the property, who picked me from the airport pushed my trolley round the supermarket to get some essential provisions on two occasions.. Trevor didn't mind when called him at 2.30am because I set the alarm off (I felt awful) Kept me updated on the tropical storm situation. He arranged excursion for me and was just a phone call away. Next is Ian from Oakely Taxi, a very genuine person.. We had lots of interesting conversations whilst he was driving me from location to location. As a lady travelling by myself, I felt very comfortable with him I will definitely use his services next time in am in Antigua (SOON!!). THANKS TO YOU BOTH.
Sunset Villa has everything you could possibly need, full kitchen, micro, oven fridge freezer there wasn't anything I needed in the kitchen area that was not there (I cooked a couple times during my 2 weeks). The villa has the most amazing view from the bottom veranda and from the upper deck , the views are to die for! Overlooking Dickenson Bay Beach. the villa has 2 bedrooms I used the one with the king size bed, I slept well every night. Lovely en-suite really powerful shower. Lounge room very large TV, music a great space. Sunset villa is VERY spacious even if being used by I would say upto 4 people you still would not feel on top of each other.
It was a short walk down top Dickenson Bay Beach (I did find walking back up a rather steep hill hard going - but it didn't stop me using this beach during my stay!!) You could get your drinks , sun loungers there were places to eat if you wanted (I brought down snacks and iced water). This beach is stunning , the water is amazing very calm (spent hours in the sea) No problems with venders just polite 'no thank you' is sufficient. Very easy beach to take a stroll and 'people watch!
Excursions: Day trip to Barbuda, I will never forget the beauty of this island Amazing!! picked up at Dickenson Bay
Stingray City OMG, what an experience holding, stroking the stingrays, (included in a trip around the island)
Prickly Pear Island - last day of my trip , late flight back, spent the whleo day on this little gem 8-10 minutes by boat, food , drinks, sun sea what more could you ask for (met an amazing little girl called Lucy the owners 'grand daughter , bright as a button!! *thanks for dropping me off and coming back for me Trevor.

Great Beach at Fort James also a great little dine/bar called LimerZ had a very tasty Snapper meal , they make great rum punches, (tell them how you want it!)
Go to town (St. Johns ) I did twice, just nice to stroll round no hassle. Had a great lunch at
C & C' Wine Bar, Redcliffe Quay ordered platter, cod fish fritters, chicken wings prawns and ham & cheese panini all very tasty!
I had a fantastic time in Antigua and my stay at Sunset Villa was amazing once again as a solo traveller I always felt safe on the island at the villa. , I have visited a number of Caribbean islands this has to be my 2nd favourite
You will not be disappointed with Sunset Villa a wonderful, wonderful accommodation.
